TEXAS.T0.CALlF0RNIA
HIGHWAY is PLANNED
$1S, 900, 900 Military Road Con-
struction Aided by "Big
Bend" Country.
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press
SAN ANTONIO, Textile big
Bend" country of Southwestern Texas
has organized in support of an $4,000
600 military highway from Brownsville,
Tex, to San Diego Calf, the entire
length Of the United States Mexico
boundary.
The Military Highway Association,
representing 400 miles of the stretch,
has been formed by four Texas border
counties. Its purpose Is TO aid bill
introduced In Congress by Representa-
tive Claude Hudspeth, who has asked
authority for the War Department to
contruct such a road.
In his bill Hudspeth urged that a
border highway would be a means Of
enforcing prohibition, narcotic, customs
and immigration laws. He characterizes
it as "a purely military proposition of
national Defense" and adds that much
of this semi-arid border country would
not otherwise be developed.
Citizens living near the border the
bill points out, have suffered many
indignities and raids by lawless Mexi-
can bandits, losing much property and
a number of lives"

BOULEVARD STOPS
TO Be ENFORCED
Maryland Police Warned of
Provisions of Law on
Through Traffic.
Special Dispatch to The Star.

Special Dispatch 70 The Star.
BALTIMORE, August State police
were ordered this week TO rigidly en-
force the provision in the trafic Law
making 1t mandatory for motorists to
stop before entering or crossing desig-
mated through roads.
The boulevard law and the accom-
panying provision have been in effect
for more than a month and the State
Roads Commission has erected signs
to warn motorists at all points where
stops at approaches to boulevards must
be made.
Despite the law and the signs, how
ever, many motorists have been dis
obeying the law, according to z. Austin
Baughman, commissioner of motor
vehicles.
Policemen Are Notified.
| Every member of the State police
force has been notified of the commits
sioner's intention Of having the pro-
vision regarding stops enforced. The
men were told to station themselves
frances and to arrest all violators Of
the law.
Mr.. Baughman said he had received
numerous complaints of violations and
| that he had been given the license
numbers of more than 400 automobiles
that had been driven on to boulevard
in Anne Arundel County at one inter-
section Illegally.
One of the most dificult traffic
problems confronting the commission
er is. the congestion at Glenburnie.
where the Annapolis Boulevard meets
the Grain highway and the Baltimore
roadway.
At present each Of the four ap-
proaches to the intersection are treated
as though it were an approach to a
boulevard and bears a sign warning
motorists to stop before entering.
Disregarded by Motorists.
These signs are disregarded by mo-
florists, Mr.. Baughman said, and he is
endeavoring to work out some method
of relieving the situation.
The condition at Glenburnie, Mr..
Baughman asserted, would be aggra-
waited II motorists obeyed the present
stop signs and especially would this be
true on Sunday nights when the traffc
congestion is at its worst. He said he
believed it would be better, or at least
no worse, if the present signs were
removed.

100 Feet Apart.
Special Dispatch to The Star.
BALTIMORE, August 3.-In an effort
to prevent accidents resulting from
motor trucks travelling over the State
highways N close convoy formation, E.
Austin Baughman. commissioner Of
motor vehicles, yesterday sent a re-
quest to all owners of truck fleets to in
struct their drivers not to operate them
closer together than 100 feet.
A large number Of accidents have re-
suited from the practice of four or
five trucks running along the road so
close together that motorists desiring
to pass the slower trucks are forced to
go around the entire line with no space
to turn in should q vehicle approach
from the opposite direction, the COM
missioner said.
Dealers in used cars also were asked
to keep their assignments to used motor
vehicles scattered when being trans
ported along the roads. In several of
the States there are laws which pro-
hibit trucks or buses from operating
closer than 100 feet.
An effort on the part Of Mr.. Baugh-
man several years ago to have such q
law passed by the Legislature was
turned down.

HOOVER PROCLA|MS
NATIONAL ORIGINS
President Cites Dislike for
immigration Quota Becom-
ing Law July l..

BY the Associated Press.
Bowing to his belief that the Chief
Executive should be the first to obey
the law, even though he does not like
it, President Hoover has proclaimed the
new national origins quotas of the re-
strictive immigration act effective July l..
AT the same time. it has been made
clear that he is hopeful that Congress
will act at the special session beginning
next month to defer for another year
operation of the. national origins pro-
vision, which he opposes. so that the
whole question may be reviewed at the
regular session In December.
"The Attorney General has advised
me that, In failure of Congress to sus-
pend action, it is now mandatory upon
me under the immigration act to issue
the proclamation establishing national
origins as the basis of immigration
quotas" the President said in reply to
questions of the press yesterday, just
Effective July 1.
THE proclamatio must be issued
prior to April / and will be issued at
once. 1t will go into effect on July
unless action is taken by Congress In
the meantime. While I am strongly
in favor of restricted and selected i'm
migration. / have opposed the national
origins basis.
Il, therefore, naturally dislike the
duty of issuing the proclamation and
installing the new basis, but the Presi-
dent of the United States must be the
first to obey the law"
Immediately after the proclama ton
was issued Representative Tilson of
Connecticut, the Republican House
leader. .aid that If measure deferring
operation of the national origins pro-
vision should be adopted by the Senate
1t would be considered in the House be-
fore July l. Senate leaders were silent
regarding the proposal, however.
The President favors continuance
of the present quotas, which are based
on the 1890 census.

The proclamation said that the new
quotas fixed by it we're available only

REACHES CRUCIAL
STAGE OF BATTLE
Most Details of Plan Except
Amount OF Payments
Are Accepted.
IRRITATION APPARENT
IN PROLONGED FIGHT
Allies Accuse Germany, and Vice
Versa, as Americans Act
as Mediators.
BY PAUL SCOTT MOWRER.

BY Cable e The Star and Chicsso Daily
News. Copyright, 1929.
PARIS, March 23.-The crucial
struggle in the great effort of the al
lies and the Germans to reach a Anal
reparations settlement is now at hand
Practically all the details of the in
genious new plan have been agreed
upon except the all-important question
of the figures.
Although negotiations have been car
ried on in Secret,a certain number of
facts have become known and the
writer Is able to present what he has
reason to believe is an accurate de-
tailed account of the present dead
lock.
After long weeks of extremely labor
ious efforts to fix the size of the fu-
tlre German annuities, the Germans
have painfully come up from an offer
Of 100000, 900 to $400 900 600; and the
allies have equally as painfully come
down fro ma demand of $625. 900 900 to
S525 .000.0 The two sides are thus
still separated by an apparently un-
bridgeabls gap of s125, 900, 900.
Americans Are Mediators.
The American experts, particularly
Owen d. Young as chairman of the
committee of experts. have been thrust
into the unenviable but useful role of
mediatorS. They seem now to be trying
TO effect a compromise on the basis of
$3.50. 900 900. but neither the Germans
nor the allies have accepted it yet.
For almost the first time signs of ir-
ritation and resentment are beginning
to appear The Germans accuse the al
lies of trying to crush them with an inn
possible figure. and the allies intimate
that the Germans are bluffing straight
through. The allies also accuse DR..
Schacht. the chief German delegate. of
playing German interior politics and us
ing the reparations question TO further
his personal political ambitions.
Both sides tend to confound the
American experts with the American
Government and people and both are
asking impatiently why they should be
expected to make what appear to them
as tremendous sacrifices in the general
interest while the United States Sefenely
raises tariffs, invades the whole world
with its goods and gold and even re-
fuses to discuss corresponding read
justment of war debts.
Resume Sessions Monday.
Sessions of the committee have been
interrupted while Schacht goes to Ber-
lin to discuss the situation with the
German government. They will be re-
sumed on Monday and continued to
Thursday, and if by then no agreement
has been reached. it is suggested that
the committee adjourn until April 8.
Such an adjournment. it is implied,
will amount to temporary failure of the
experts to agree on the figures and the
issue would. it is understood. be turned
over to the French. British and German
governments to try to settle by direc-
tions.
Final failure Is still inconceivable
That would mean for Germany. in ad-
dition to serious credit disturbances.
