At Knox ville, T. S. Straus, s.pi'cia!
advisor to the secretary of the in
terior, said the purpose of the pro.
posed federal parkway was '.-in
"e-conomic one."
"We want to use thi1 highway to
bring the tourist business to the. I
counties which need it most," he saiiT
In connection with this phase of
the project, hr. said data was being
sought from counties showing the
percentage of farms 'rwried and those
operated by tenants, percentage ef
high school graduates, percentage of
those employed, sales income per
farm and retail trade.
Mr. Straus said there would bei
little difficulty in. selecting the route
in Virg ia but the hardest route
task would come in choosing between
Tennessee and North Carolina.
"We, however, are dealing fairly
and expect to decide on a route sat
isfactory to both North Carolina and
Tennessee," he added.
E. B. Jeffress, chairman of the
state highway commission, and Frank
W. Miller, of Waynesville, member of
the commission, together with several
other state highway officials accom
panied the. party on the tour
