sights from the top spot to the No 2 slot because he feels no one can stop former Vice President By JIMMY SAILORS Eagle Staff Writer Gov George Wallace has directed the Alabama Highway Department to in clude the four laning of US 431 between Abbeville and Eufaula in its five year planning program Mayor Kenneth Everett said Thursday The action was in response to a meeting regional officials'" from southeast Alabama held with the governor in his of fice last month Everett said He said the state has started preliminary engineering activities on a six mile section which will eventually become part of a four lane from Eufaula to Dothan Earlier this year ago the state let bids for the four laning of an 116 mile stretch connecting Headland with Abbeville Officials hope the four lane will eventually extend to Phenix City saying such improvements will boost economic development and tourism in southeast Alabama Everett said a four lane highway would provide a with the Atlan ta market All industries look for transportation routes that impede their development he said Walter Mondale from get ting the nomination firmly believe Mon dale has the thing sewn Willis said But Willis a successful northeast Alabama businessman and former state legislator said he hopes to draw enough sup port in upcoming presiden tial primaries par ticularly in New Hamp shire Alabama and The construction would also pull tourism business away from the interstate system he said The governor pointed out at the meeting that one of the major criteria when considering the four laning of a route is the traffic count In a letter he wrote to Wallace on Nov 14 Everett said the traffic flow bet ween Eufaula and Phenix City greater than the travel counts on several ex isting four laned roads in the state including some portions of the interstate By combining the 1981 traffic counts for US 431 and Alabama Hwy 165 which run parallel courses from Eufaula to Phenix Ci ty Everett showed that 7240 vehicles use the routes every day More than three fifths of those vehicles traveled on US 431 He said the daily traffic count on 1 59 in Dekalb County is 5710 vehicles while 1 65 in Escambia County has 5760 US 82 in Tuscaloosa County is 3500 Meetings on the four laning have been held for at least the last three years One of the largest meetings was held in August of 1982 at Lakepoint Lodge near

people platform is based on and that his physical ap pearance resmbles the former Willis has repeatedly ac cused the national media of recognizing only sacred Democratic candidates and ignoring his campaign But he said his campaign has far ther than any of the other minor in the early part of the race He said he know exactly how much he has spent on his campaign so far but that it is Willis who plans to travel to New Hampshire next week said he will have been successful if he places third or fourth in that primary will demonstrate I have strength among the he said I could come back for (March 13) with people recognizing Alabama's presidential primary is March 13 Willis said his presidential outlook would brighten the people in Alabama would realize what a great asset it is to the
