Several hundred applications for
designation of air-ports of entry
will be turned down by the Treasury
Department, it was learned today.
Virtually every city in the coun-
try boasting of a first-class airport
has asked the Treasury to provide
customs facilities that passengers
and freight, express or mail be
landed directly from abroad.
So far nine airports of entry have
been created. They are Key West
Miami Brownsville, Texas, San
Diego, Los Angeles. st. Paul. Al
bany. and Newark, n. J.
A number of new airports of
entry will be authorized by the
Treasury, but officials explained
that none would be created until
real necessity arose-that is, where
an established traffic with foreign
countries had been built up.
Pressure brought to bear upon the
Bustoms Bureau for expansion of
the ports Of entry to airports in
dicates the rapid advance of aero
nautical transportation.
Within a few years. it was stated,
virtually every commercial flying
field along the international boun-
daries and seaboards necessarily
would be provided with entry port
facilities

OVER HOOVER
FARM AID
BY WILLIAM s. NEAL
international News Service

Farm relief legislation dominated
both branches of Congress today,
with House leaders promising pas
sage of the first farm bill of the
mpeciaI session within as hours.
The House bill was opened Tor
amendment after five days OF
exhaustive debate. Despite the ex-
pected presentation of a score OF
amendments and some bitter OPP
position, Representative Haugen (R:)
Of Iowa, chairman of the agrlcuI'
tural committee. was confident OF
final vote tomorrow.
Both the old McNary-Haugen bill
with it's equalization fee and the
export debenture plan of the Ma
tionaI Grange were to be brought
forth in the House in opposition to
the so-called Hoover program for
q gigantic cooperative marketing
scheme backed by the Government
to the extent of $500, 100000.
Four Amendments Sought
Among the amendments proposed
TO the House bill are:
Agriculture Committee amendment
designed to make it impossible for
cooperative farm organizations TO
use government money to build
warehouses and marketing ter
n1inals If existing facilities can be
used.
The export debenture plan, under
which farmers would be paid an eX-
port bounty of some $146, 100000
annually for losses on export crops.
the money to be paid out of tariff
receipts. Representative Jones DD
of Texas planned to offer this as
an optional plan in the Haugen bill.
The old equalization fee bill, TO
be sponsored by Representatives
Cannon and Nelson. both Missouri
Democrats.
Amendment by Representative
Linthicum Cd of Maryland requir.
ing Federal Farm Board to give
existing private elevator and COM
mission companies the right to
function on the same basis as CO.
operatives, it they render equal
service.
House For Hoover Plan
Although the House has indicated
during debate that it will support
the Hoover program. both Repre-
sentatives Cannon and Jones
planned to make vigorous attacks
upon the Haugen bill
"Mr. Hoover promised to let Con.
gress formulate a bill but never
has a President taken more arbi-
; trary action than he did in writing
q letter denouncing the export de
benture PLAN" said Cannon. He
promised to make the tariff eff
fective on farm crops, but you must
pass the equalization fee bill to
do this
Representative Linthicum. in pro-
posing an amendment designed to
prevent destruction of private bIrsi-
ness by cooperative marketing as-
sociations gave vent to a quiet
campaign that is being carried on
against the Haugen bill.
Protection For Business
"The situation is this. explained
Linthicum IF existing business
will serve the purposes of marketing
for which this bill is proposed they
should not be destroyed We have
lust sold our ships to get the Gov
ernment out of business; now we
propose to set up a gigantic semi.
governmental marketing agency"
Whatever action the House takes
proponents of the debenture plan
i'm the Senate were ready to make
a last.ditch fight for it.
Senator Caraway (DJ of Ar
kansas attacked President Hoover $
opposition to the proposal. assert
ing that the plan had been tried
auccessfully in many foreign coun.

6 DIE ON CRUISE
Of CANADIAN
LINER

LONDON, April "a G.N.s,l-The
manager of the offices Of the Ca.
madam Pacific Steamship Company
here today admitted that six deaths
occurred during the four months
cruise of the liner Duchess Of Atholl
IN South American and African
waters.
OF the six who died, four were
passengers who succumbed to ma
laria, the official stated, while the
other two were members Of the
crew who were victims of other
naladies which we're not contagious
Three of the four passengers who
died were Americans.
Previous to the Canadian Pacific
managers admission, the company
had maintained that only four
deaths occurred.
Voyage At End
The Duchess of Atholl is scheduled
to end her cruise today with a call
at Cherbourg before finally docking
at Southampton. The Canadian
Pacific manager said no one would
be allowed to board the ship at
Cherbourg.
The passenger who died were:
DR. Edward Hardenbrook, Roches.
ter. N. Y.
Henry ]. Norweb, Roslyn Heights
n. Y.
Mrs. A. H. Ernecke, Hollywood
Calf
Luther Facey, Kingston, Jamaica.
A report from the United States
based upon a letter from a passen-
ger which told of the deaths Of
four stewards and six passengers
from mysterious disease while the
ship was betwee Nombass and Port
Sudan, brought strong denials from
company officials.
Left JanuarS ?2
The subsequent contradictions in
the statements emanatlng from the
company, however, further adds to
the mystery surround & the cruise.
Raymond Henry Norweb, first sec"
retary of the American embassy at
The Hague, and son OF one OF the
passengers who died, is now at
Southampton awaiting the arrival Of
the ship in order to get fuller details
of his fathers death.
The Duchess of Atholl, one of four
new 10000 ton liners, left New York
January %, calling first at jamaica,
B. W. l., then proceeding down the
South American coast, across the
south Atlantic to Cape Town, Africa,
UP the east coast of Africa, through
the Suez Canal, westward through
the Mediterranean to Gibraltar and
then north to Cherbourg, with
Southampton as the last port OF
call.

AMERICA WILL
BE PAVED SOON

Returning Saturday from the an
nuai meeting Of the Broadway OF
America association at FL Paso,
Robert Hays, secretary of the El
Centre Chamber of Commerce, re
ported enthusiastically of the as
sociation S great work for improve
ment of the highways along the

increase in travel whlcii advertising
aud road development have accom-
plshed. Hays, with A. T. Mcrcier

The Broadway of America. it was
stated at FL Paso, is carrying the
greatest traffic Of all the trans
continental highways. During The
past wear travel on the route in
creased 90 per cent. The increase Oh
other competing routes was but
four per cent to six per cent, accord
ing to official highway counts made
by the road commission of New
Mexico.
In i months, Hays learned, the
Broadway will be paved from end
to end-New York to California. A
unpavcd sections are now being
worked, or contracts let, or money
allocated. the chamber secretary re-
ported. The advertising which the
Broadway has received has resulted
n special interest on the part of
the various road building agencies,
and the commissioners in the states
traVcrscd hv the highway have fav
orcd the National Broadway, and as
a result it will be the first of the
'ranscontinental routes to be entire
" paved.
At the convention, Hays reports,
there was much enthusiasm over the
amount Of business being done by
the towns and cities along Broad
way. "Thcrc's something filling at
these hotels, clear across the state
Of Texas, on the Broadway of Amer
