Hirten said jester-day that if Honolulu citizens don't think any of the five proposed routes for the "H-1" Freeway enhances Oahu's beauty and economy, "you should throw out the book and start from scratch" to determine a route.

A call by the commit tee on Governor Burns to PUKES- "impress on him the impor tance of bringing the absolutely best talent available THIS WEEK YES, WE'RE LOWERING OUR PRICES ON HOTPOINT APPLIANCES ONLY DURING OUR INTRODUCTORY SALE his address, Hirten urged citizens to "work on" Governor Burns, congressmen and legislators to get "special consideration." He said that "for this particular program there's no shortage of federal funds" and that federal road standards "aren't rigid" but can be modified if a community shows it wants changes. THE IMPORTANT things, Hirten emphasized, are to get informed and critical about the freeway project now rather than after a route is chosen and construction is ready to start.

Hirten, executive director of the San Francisco Planning and Urban Renewal Assn. (SPUR), told of many regrets in San Francisco because the elevated Embar-cadero Freeway was substantially under way before citizens raised their "Freeway Revolt."

At one point in his one-hour talk, Hirten turned to a blackboard and roughed out a sketch of what he thought would be a "valid" i solution to a new freeway route.

"H-l" will extend from Barber's Point access road at Campbell Indus- trial Park to Aina Koa ,1 26 to 27 miles, de- pending on the route for the Honolulu portion. THE OTHER two In- terstate and Defense Highways will be "H-2" fi from a connection with "H-l" near Pearl City to Schofield Barracks, and I "H-3" connecting Honolulu with Kaneohe Ma- -rine Corps Air Station. The three freeways, to- taling about 50 miles, must be completed by July 1, 1972, to qualify il Hawaii for 85-to-90 per cent federal aid for th program.

HIRTEN SAID his "river and tributaries" concept had been called too expensive and impossible, but he denied this. The Island of Oahu, he said, "is so unique that in my judgment you should throw out the book and start from scratch" on a route, if none of the five proposed routes is considered satisfactory. He warned he was being critical about some things "primarily to provoke you into a sense of action" and through most of his speech dwelled on this theme: Sincere and honest highway engineers aim for an efficient and economical carrier of traffic, and sincere and honest private planners aim for a beautiful highway, but the two sides' "frame of reference and vocabulary" are widely different. Hirten stressed the importance to both San Francisco and Honolulu of preserving beauty as an economical as well as esthetic asset. Automatic Clock Timer Lower Storage Compartment Auto.

He talked as though he's just abandon Lunalilo Freeway, and we're not going to throw away the millions of dollars poured into that." TREASE SAID Hirten also was mistaken in claiming that federal road standards are set in Washington and could be changed by appealing there. "They are the standards of the American Association of State Highway Officials," Trease said. "They are not hocus-pocus standards. They are rigid and thoroughly thought out." State highway planning engineer Merritt Trease said yesterday John E. Hirten was "mistaken" to advise throwing out freeway plans and starting from scratch.

Trease also said Hirten, in his address at Agee Hall yesterday, showed "almost complete unfamiliarity with the protocol involved in federal aid, and even with accepted engineering standards." TREASE ATTENDED the meeting at which Hirten spoke and was asked later about Hirten's advice to "throw out the book and start from scratch" if none of the proposed "Hi-1 Freeway routes was satisfactory.
