DEBATE PROPOSED ROUTE
OF OCEAN-TO.O CEAN ROAD

KANSAS CITY. Mo-. April %
Whether the western end Of the pro-
posed ocean-to-ocean highway shall
pass through a section noted for
scenic beauty or along a route replete
with historic interest probably will be
decided at the annual meeting of the
National Old Trails Association which
began here today.
The original Old Trails route across
the continent ends at Santa Fe, N. NJ,
Lovers of the historical contend that
the route from that point should fol-
low the old Dominion trail and the
Kearney road, which gained their
names from General Alexander W.
Doniphan and General Stephen
Kearney.' Delegates favoring the
scenic route want the road built d.
reotly west from Santa Fe through
the mountains by way OF the Grand
Canyon, reaching California at Bar
stow, thence to Los Angeles and up
the coast to San Francisco.
Noes to Opposition.
AS consideration of the bill went on
dlltl PtO~
posed by the Republicans was re-
jected with rolling choruses of noes
from the Democratic side. Majority
Leader Underwood and Republican
Leader Mann had long arguments be-
cause the chemical schedule differed
from last years chemical bill. Mr..
Underwood explained the changes had
been made possible because the in
come tax was not possibility last
year.
When the reading of the bill for
began Majority Leader
Underwood made 1t apparent that the
Democrats intended to hurry the bin
through. He objected to all requests
for extension of time for debate and
confined the discussion strictly TO the
under consideration.
