...glimpse of roadside blight-junkyards, billboards and used-car lots. Whitton commended owners of automobile junkyards, which he called "disassembling yards," who have tried to screen the rusting hulks from passing motorists; the Department of Commerce counts 17,760 auto graveyards and scrap heaps lining the country's main roads...
