Long Article en-
Prospects Here

The February issue Of the Aero
Digest, a monthly magazine pub
street, New York, carries the fol-
lowing article on B~rownsville's
progress in the aerial field:
Colonel Charles A. Lindbergh on
his famous nonstop flight from
Washington to Mexico City passed
over Brownsville. Mrs. Lindbergh
on her trip TO Mexico City to spend
christmas with her son and on her
return stopped at Brownsville. Will
Rogers. returning from Mexico City,
stopped at Brownsville. These events
would seem &c indicate that Browns
vile will be established as the port
OF entry to Mexico, Central and
South America.
The Mexico government recently
granted franchise to the Compania
Mexicana de Ayiacion. S. A., George
Itihl. president, for an air mail and
commercial route from Mexico City
TO Matamoros, via Tampico. Mata-
moros is just across the river from
Brownsville in Old Mexico. The
flying conditions from Brownsville
70 Tampico are ideal. The route
Lies along the beach and landing can
be made any place.
The airport committee Of the
Brownsville chamber Of commerce,
working through the city govern
ment. is planning to purchase a
640-acre land field and 10 fully
equip same.
The Matamoros chamber or COM
merce also is contemplating the pur-
chase of a 450-acre landing field
which they will develop as il is an
ticipated that within a short time
there will be a tremendous amount
of air traffic in Latin America.
Due TO the particular topogra-
ply Of that country. travelling by
autos and railroads entails a great
deal of time. For instance, il takes
50 hours to travel by rail from Mex
leo City TO Tampico, with perfect
connections. and the trip can be
made by airplane in two and ono
half hours. II takes one day and
two nights to travel from Browns
vile TO Mexico City by rail. The
flight can be made in six hours.

 FLOOD PROPOSALS
Legislation Already Under Way
 for Control
REP. FRANK REID.

r Washington, Jan. H,t-For the second time in a score of years. con- gress faces the legislative solution of 8 stupendous engineering problem --ths prevention of future disastrous floods on the Mississippi river. Twenty years ago it mapped out the Panama Canal construction.
 The national legislature. confront ed with . voluminous plan drafted by General Edgar Jadwin. chief of army engineers. has commenced it's task of formulating the legislation. The army engineers program calls for an expenditure of t296. 100000 over a l0-year period and the con- struction of an elaborate system of flood diversion channels and strengthened levees over the tortu- ous 500 mile course of the Father of Waters"
 Compared with the Panama Canal the cost of the rivers flood control will be smaller. Tho canal project cost $346, 100000. but the waterway across the narrow isthmus extended only 70 miles. However. congress has a precedent in the canal con- struction to follow in its formula tion of a national flood control plan.
 The house flood control committee has been holding hearings for nearly two months. insan effort to gain en- gineering information from civilians to determine the feasibility of the army engineers plan.
 Representative Frank Reid, re. publican, Illinois. chairman of the committee, declares that the testi- mony of the scores of civilian CD. gineers and flood experts will be . ..yardstick" to measure the army program.
 While the army engineers pro- gram deals solely with the lower Mississippi river, it is expected to be the genesis of the devising by congress of q new governmental i policy which will result in the con- i trolling of all navigable rivers floods by the federal government.
 The nationwide plan probably will be put in operation after the army engineers have completed an l extensive survey of the Mississippi's | main tributaries and flood dangers in New Englard, New York and on the Colorado river.
