Senator Heflin said:
"It Is my hope and opinion that
this whole thing will bo worked out
early in the next sosslon of Congress
In a way that will be entirely satis
factory to Henry Ford and hls
friends.”
Senator Heflin during the day dis
cussed road problems In Alabama
with Thomas H. MacDonald, chief of
the bureau of public roads. After
wards he issued the following state
ment:
"A few weeks ago the newspapers
of Alabama carried a Washington
story to the effect that certain road
projects In our state had been left off
the program which called for early
federal aid. and this, of course, was
unsatisfactory and very disagreeable
news to those living in the commu
nity where these road projects are
situated. I have received quite a
number of requests to do What 1
could to see that these roads were in
cluded in the program with those
listed for early construction, and that
is what I am doing here. Chief Mac
Donald assured me that he wanted to
do the fair thing about It and that
he felt that the matter could and
would be satisfactorily arranged as
soon as he could go over the situ
ation with the Alabama highway de
partment. Chairman Rogers of the
Alabama highway commission and I
talked the matter over several days
ago. I have assured him that I would
co-operate with him and hls depart
ment In getting this matter satis
factorily settled. He will be In
Washington early in December, at
which time the entire Alabama dele
gation will join him In a conference
with the officials of the bureau of
public roads.”
