For a graph G define r(G) to be the maximum number of pairs of different vertices from G such that there exist disjoint paths joining each pair. Let r(d) be the minimum of r(G) where G ranges over the graphs of all d- polytopes. It was shown by \textit{D. G. Larman} and \textit{P. Mani} [Proc. Lond. Math. Soc., III. Ser. 20, 144-160 (1970; Zbl 0201.568)] that \(r(d)\geq [(d+1)/3]\). In this paper a family of polytopes is constructed, by way of Gale diagrams, showing that \(r(d)\leq [(2d+3)/5].\) It is unknown whether this result is sharp for \(d>5\).
