Eisenhower wanted the railroads made whole again after all they did for the war effort.Eisenhower was a big highwayman. His early army reputation for logistics was made, when he led the Army's cross-country convoy in 1919. Truman was also pro-highway. His career in Jackson County involved building the highway network. He was out of office for 2 years during the 1920's. He was hired by the Good Roads Association as a regional director. The Good Roads Association later became the AAA. FDR was pro railroad (except for the PRR.) His 1939 bill would have had users bear direct costs for highway use through tolls. |
