Once jammed with honking motor cars, "The Crossroads of the World" was quiet, with only a few scattered scat-tered taxicabs, trucks and buses in sight. Reluctant to use the little gas they might have left, New York's motorists took to the subways as soon as the order went through. Seventeen states on the Eastern seaboard were affected by the ruling. |
