C.L.U. leaders were quick to blame defeat on antilabor "smears" and the exposures of labor racketeering by the McClellan committee. But the Minneapolis Tribune had a more accurate postmortem: "The voters want independent officials . . . The overall effect of the election was a crushing defeat for C.L.U. bossism...

One out of every seven Americans earns his living in some phase of highway travel; 80% drive to work; 85% take their vacations and pleasure trips by auto. Yet U.S. highways, sadly neglected during World War II, have fallen far behind the growing numbers of automobiles, trucks and buses, now up to 65 million. The new roads will ease present congestion, be able to accommodate the nearly 90 million vehicles that are expected to speed over U.S. roads by 1972. With fewer curves...
