Shanghai, Wednesday, Feb "a
(UP)-The Chinese and Japanese
armies strengthened their forces
to-day for a death struggle for
possession Of the Shanghai delta.
The campaign promised to be
long and deadly. The Japanese,
failing to sweep away the Chinese
army in their first sweeping drive,
as they had planned, halted the
offensive last night to await rein
forcements.
A reliable source said Japan was
ready to send whatever troops
were necessary, even to five Or
more divisions. which would mean
an addition of more than $4,000
men.
Sporadic cannonading went on
early to-day and some buildings
blazed near the settlement but the
situation generally was quieter,
Foreigners considered the Japanese
strategy poor. since their right flank

50 Billion Miles
Yearly Travel On
Federal Aid Roads

Although only one-ffteenth of the
roads are in the Federal Aid system,
they carry at least half of the coun-
try's rural traffic.
This statement was made by Fred
eric E. Everett, president of the Am
erican Association of State Highway
officials, in directing attention to the
value of the even per cent of the
roads in each state being improved
with Federal assistance.
annual travel over the Federal
Aid system reaches an Incompetent
sible figure" said Mr.. Everett. Seas
oline consumption and other factors
indicate that American motorists ira
vel in excess of 100 billion miles ov-
er country roads each year. Or that
basis, it is estimated that almost so
billion males of travel is over the Fed
eral Aid system which means an av-
erage daily traffic how of about go
vehicles per mile.
'When we think of the annual Fed
eral contribution to road betterment
we must do so more in regard to SER
vice purchased than to the number of
dollars expended. Clearly the improve
ments made on the Federal Aid system
have reduced car operating cost by
almost one cent a mile, for the 197,-
ooo-mile system by July l of 1881
contained $500 miles of high type
pavement and an additional 1900
miles of intermediate type and low
type surfaces. Since Federal funds are
about ~ per cent on the average of
the entire road costs, Federal expen-
ditures are responsible for almost one
half cent of the reduction in car OPP
costs. On. that basis, Federal
Aid returns dividends of about $780,
100000 a year. That is a mighty
return on the present annual
of less han half that sum.
Benefits of the Federal Aid system
are extended over the entire country
and encompass both the main inter
state and the chief secondary or in
ter-county roads. A state, if it wish
es, may use all of the Federal funds
on the main arteries and after their
completion future Federal assistance
may be entirely devoted to the roads
of secondary importance as far as
traffic is concerned.
elm comparison with the 5000, 900
miles of roads in the United States,
the Federal Aid system is small, but
since the Federal Aid roads, for the
most part, are the roads of greatest
use no effort should be spared to main
tain the present rate of progress, and
that means no diminution in the Fed
eral funds required for this job" con-
Mr.. Everett.

CHOSEN
BY DEMOCRATS
FOR CONVENTION

Observation-Disclosures decided
to hold their presidential nominating
convention in Chicago, June u. This
will be two weeks after the republic
cans meet in the same place.
The action was taken by the dem
ocratic national committee on one
ballot in an exceptionally harmonious
meeting. Smouldering tension between
the Franklin D. Roosevelt group and
other factions was ever present in the
background. But National Chairman
John J.. Raskob, at the opening of
the meeting, did much to shut this
feeling out of the committee session
by a frank statement that he bore no
hostility toward Governor Roosevelt.
Prohibition, the DOGGY of every
democratic meeting in the last decade,
was elbowed silently out of the scene.
Chairman Raskob laid his recent pro-
hibition referendum proposal before
the meeting, without reading. With
no debate it was referred to the ma
tional convention for consideration.
This smooth action was an omen OF
harmony and skillful management
which cheered all factions of the par
ty.
The democratic national committee
also:
Adopted a convention appor-
tionment plan by which additional
delegates will be given o all states
gaining congressman under the new
congressional .reapportionment plan.
No delegations were reduced. Fifty
four additional delegates will be pro-
vided for, bringing the convention
total to LIS delegates. North Car
DINA gains two delegates).

Hampshire committeeman, a Roose-
welt man, secretary of the commit
tee.
3-Made Jouett Shouse, who is ma
tional executive chairman, chairman
of the committee on convention ar
rangements and selected the Congress
hotel, Chicago, as headquarters.
