New Tubes to Solve Problem Of
Housing Ship Workers at Newark
Extension OF Hudson Tunnels to Heart of the Jersey
District Will Enable so 900 Men to Retain
Their Present Homes

Instead Of building houses for the
$4,000 men who will be employed in
the shipping district of Newark, n j.,
when all the government work now in
progress there gets fully under way,
the United States Shipping Board pro-
poses to solve the housing problem
by building an extension of the Hud-
son tubes into the heart Of the district
and let the men live where they like.
Final plans for this project have
been completed by A. L. Drum, trans
portation engineer Of the Shipping
Board, and have been turned over to A.
H. Smith, regional director of rail
roads, for the completion of engineer
ing, financial and corporate details.
Work on the project will begin almost
at once
1t is proposed to run several lines
of tracks from the present terminal
OF the Hudson tubes directly into the
heart Of the Port Newark Ter
minal. Along these lines through ex-
press trains Will be run from New
York to the new end of the line, which
will also be a new terminal for the
great Lincoln Highway.
By this means, it is believed, the
shipping centre will be able to com
mand the services of the highest
skilled mechanics. These workers will
not be obliged to live in barracks or
shacks, but will be enabled to keep
their homes in Brooklyn, New York, or
anywhere within easy striking distance
of the yards. 1t is calculated chat the
time from the Lincoln Highway ter

Hawley Protests Against
Signal Corps Refusal to
Accept Recruits
Urges New Direction
Would Have Aerial Matters
Placed Under a New
Cabinet Member

Drastic reform measures must be
+,ken at once if the air programme of
the United States is not to collapse
completely. according to Alan R. Haw-
low president Of the Aero Club of
America, who wrote to President Will
son yesterday protesting against the
refusal Of the signal corps to accept
further recruits for training as avia-
tors.
This is only one Of the ways in which
the aying forces Of the United States
are being delayed, Mr.. Hawley says, and
he urges, among other things, the i'm
mediate establishment of separate de-
partment Of aeronautics, under the
direction of new member of the Cab
met.
The refusal to take more recruits is
the primary evidence, Mr.. Hawley
noints out. that the aircraft programme
is slowing down. In addition, he says,
factories that have completed their or
ders have no further work to look for
ward to and prepare for.
The main cause Of the present de-
plorable condition OF our aircraft pro-
gramme," he writes. was that the au
thorities in charge tried to make 90,
600 aeroplanes do the work Of 10000
The chief faults that Mr.. Hawley
finds with the present status of avia-
ton in the United States, he groups
under four heads. as follows:
LACK of concentrated RESPONSE
bility, authority and control in the
management of aerial matters.
"n.-Lack Of sufficient appropria-
tons to extend the aircraft programme
to meet the military needs OF the
Allies.
"III.-Lack of touch between the au-
thorities dealing with the strategic
side of the war and the authorities
having charge Of the supplying Of air.
craft and aviators needed to build
American and Allied air forces.
"1V-Lack of a government depart
ment having the authority and organ
ization necessary TO deal with all air
craft matters and prevent delays due to
division Of responsibility, bureaucratic
jealousies and official squa5oles over
matters Of departmental jurisdiction,
duplication of efforts, etc. The pres
ent Aircraft Board is only an advisory
board and has no power to act or to
get the necessary organization to ex-
tend or carry out an extended aircraft
programme"
As remedies for these conditions.
Mr. Hawley makes TWO suggestions.
These he says must De taken in sue
cessve steps:
First. the immediate appointment
of an assistant Secretary OF War and
an assistant Secretary Of the Navy to
represent the army and navy, re-
spectively, in the Aircraft Board. This
is to solve the immediate problems
while the second step is being taken.
Second, the creation of depart
ment of aeronautics, based on the
British plan, which places the air SER
vice under a separate department Of
aeronautics, the head Of which is in
dependent Of, although cooperating
closely with, the War and Navy de-
partmentgr

Germans Ask France
To Return Alsatians
Catholic Leader Declines Re-
quest of Holy See to
Act as Agent

PARIS, April 2.-The Germans have
made overtures through the Holy See
for the return by France of inhabitants
of Alsace and Lorraine who have es-
capped from those regions, offering in
exchange an equal number OF civilians
from the invaded districts Of France.
Cardinal Gasparri, Papal Secretary
OF State transmitted the offer to Baron
Denys Cochin, prominent Catholic
leader, and recently member Of the
Cabinet. He refused to act as inter-
mediary in the negotiations on the
ground that to do so would be to recog-
nize Alsatians as German subjects.
The baron wrote a sharp letter.
which brought forth an equally spirited
rejoinder from Cardinal Gasparri.

Mr. Baker and Thomas Nelson Page,
the American Ambassador. had stopped
at the Third Italian army headquarters
on their way to Venice to call on the
Duke of Aosta, cousin Of King Victor
Emmanuel and commander of the
Italian forces on the Piave line. The
meeting between the duke and Mr..
Baker was most cordial. the duke per-
sonally explaining the military situa-
ton and the outlook The duke would
have conducted Mr.. Baker along the
front, but heavy mist and later rain
made it impossible to get view Of
the enemy's works.
Welcome OF City Extended
Admiral Marzolo, naval commandant
of Venice. sent his chief of staff ana
the admiral's barge to convoy the
American party to Venice. The trip
was through the Venetian lagoons,
which afforded view of the region
flooded by the italian military engi-
neers in order to hold back the enemy's
advance.
Arriving in Venice, Mr. Baker and
Ambassador Page were escorted to the
admiral's headquarters. The party
then passed through the Grand Canal
to the Place San Marco and to the
city council chamber, where the Mayor
OF Venice, Count Grimani, with the
Project and members Of the NUM-
cipalty, extended the welcome of the
city.
Count Grimani's address was a warm
tribute to the United States and an
acknowledgment Of Americas part in
assisting Venice during the recent
critical period.
Later Mr.. Baker and party visited
the Doges Place, the Campanile and
the Baslica Of San Marco
