u. S.-Alaska Road Stretching 1000 Miles
Urged To Open Up New Scenic Wonderland
oo0e 0eooeooe00oe0000I
By Associated Pxess,

WASHINGTON, Sept. 49,
Proponents of the Pacific Yukon
highway, the proposed 1000 mile
road linking Alaska and the Unit
ed States, are pressing for gov
eminent approval of the project
that would make more accessible
one of Americas "last frontiers"
Anthony ]. Diamond, delegate
to congress from Alaska, has ask
ed the public works administration
for an allotment of 100000 to
finance the AlaskaRF section of
the highway. Dimond is also
seeking President Roosevelt's APP
prevail of the project, which has
been recommended as feasible by
the United States commissioners
appointed to cooperate with Cana
dian representatives in studying
the plan.
Advocates of the highway say
it would open to motorists a new
scenic wonderland, to farm set
tiers rich acres in areas hitherto
inaccessible and to miners an OPP
portunity to develop one of the
richest mineral storehouses on the
North American continent.
The American members of the
commission report that the advan-
tages to be derived from a high
way extending from Seattle to
Fairbanks "are obviously more
than commensurate with the cost"
They also say it would foster
air commerce with Alaska by fur
nishing a guiding landmark and
by providing service to aviators
along the most practicable flying
route to the interior of the terri
tory and to Asia.
Thousands of motorists in
quest of the new and picturesque
in touring territory would travel
the Alaskan road every year, it
is believed.
Surveys place the highway to
the east of the coast mountain
range. where climatic conditions
are such that snowfall is compare
lively light. and if traffic justified
the highway could be kept open
the year round.
The. estimated cost of construc-
ting the Canadian section of the
highway is $11, 100000. while that
of the Alaska section is figured at
only 100000.

PREDICT -FOUR
MINUTE MILE
BY JACK CUDDY
United Press Staff Correspondent

NEW YORK. July II. - When
young Jack Loyelock of New Zeal
and gazes down at the thunderins
grandeur OF Niagara Falls today
he'll probably feel extremely mfil-
ute and unimportant, yet to tie
world of sports he stands out as
greater wonder than Americas
mightiest waterfall.
He ran the mile Saturday faster
than any of the millions OF human
beings who have inhabited the
earth. Lovelock and his track
teammates from oxford and Cam
bridge universities, England, were
visiting Niagara Falls today.
In the mile OF the ages" at
Princeton university, this curly
headed chap was clocked in min
utes 7.c seconds, figures that broke
Jules Ladoumegue's world mark OF
4:09.2 by nearly two seconds.
The most amazing feature of this
23-year- old Oxford students run
was the apparent ease with which
he shattered the record Instead
of toppling over the finish line eX-
hausted. ne logged more than half
way around the track after finish
ing seven yards ahead Of Bill Bon
Chron Of Princeton, who also broke
Ladoumegue's record with 408.7
Dan Ferris. secretary of the A. A
u, explained the significance of
Loveiock's performance in nut
shell last night when he said, "he
raised the ceiling for future mile
performances to such an extent
that we can now look forward SEN
sibly to a time when someone will
run tire mile in four minutes. Love
locks performance indicated today
such q hope no longer is pveposter-
ous.'
After the race, Lcvelock himself
said he figured he might have made
the mile in 406 if he had been
paced faster than 0:651 for the
third quarter.
Ferris said there was possibility
Lovelock or Bonthron might break
the new world record when they
meet again next year in London.
Lovelock may meet Glenn Cum
ningham of Kansas at Berlin next
month. Cunningham, who was
clocked in 4:088 at the national
collegiate A. A. championships in
June at Chicago, is a member of
the American track team now in
Europe. Lovelock intends entering
the Berlin meet in which Cunning
ham will be running.

Not satisfied with breaking the
Pacific Coast league record for hit
ting safely in consecutive games,
Joe Demaggio, San Francisco out
fielder, is determined to shatter the
world mark of SO games established
by Joe Wilhoit of the Wichita club
of the Western league.
The 18-year-old player hit safely
in his fifty-second and fifty-thiro
games in a double-header against
Los Angeles Sunday. He made each
bingle in the first inning. Each
time he smacked a grounder which
Lillard at third base tried to scoop
up but which rolled into Snort left

games. 8 to 2 and 5 to 3, dethron-
ing the Angels from Seconc place in

Jim Oglesby, Los Angeles first
batsman, who also is in the midst
of a hitting streak, hit safely in
his thirty-eighth and thirty-ninth

Sacramento split its twin bill with
Seattle. winning the first, 7 to 0,
and losing the second, to 6, but
increased its lead on first place to
two and a half games because of
Portlands and Los Angeles double
defeat.
Portland's two losses showed
them down to fourth place, a half
game behind the Angels. The Oaks
won the series five games 10 three.
Both games were pitching duels,
with the scores TO and 20 2.
Hollywood beat the Missions in
their first game, 13 to 10. Every
man on the Stars except BaSsler
and burst hit safely. The second
game was a decided contrast to the
opening slugfest. Page beat john
son in mound duel, 2 to l, in a
game that went eight innings. al
though only seven ere scheduled.
Jacobs single scored Brannon in
the eighth 10 give the Stars the
winning run. Hollywood won six
out of seven games in the series
with the Missions.
