In '33 Declared Below Danger Point
For Preservation And Safe TraveJ
Only 500 900 Provided for New Construction Last
Year; Other Road Items Below What
Counties Formerly Paid

Improvement of about $500 miles,
including the construction of
necessary bridges in Eastern
North Carolina and some eXpen-
sive road connections in Western
North Carolina. which are abso-
lutely necessary if the state is to
reap benefits from the Great
Smoky National park. The estl-
mated cost for this construction
is $5O,000,000 and includes every
county in the state.
On the county system requests
are filed for improvement OF
bridges and roads on school bus
routes in every county, approx
mating 5000 miles, all immediate
ly worthwhile projects and esti-
mated to cost $20,000,0QO.
CITY STREETS: There is a
tremendous clamor, and Justly SO
for the state to MAINTAIN the
principal state and U. S. high
ways through the municipalities
consisting of about 300 miles
his would take a million dollars
for their maintenance and recon
struction per year.
TAXES FOR ROADS: The gas
and tag tax have been regarded
in this and all other states as al
lotted for road construction
maintenance and payment of IN
debtedness. In fact. two of the
western states have placed con-
stitutional barriers against the
diversion of these funds for any
other purpose.
Revival of business and agri'
culture is going to stimulate the
needs for more and improved
highways, which has always beer
the history of an expanding bust
ness life. Such is reflected in
increased demands for public ia
cilities, of which highways con,
stitute a basic part.

NEW YORK. March "a. CUP
Tbonph it begins to look as though
armament air mail legislation will
he passcd in the very near future,
With some reduction in the extent
If our daily aeronautical excite
ment as a result and the ,re-estab-
lishment of air transportation on
something like solid footing,
great danger still confronts Amer
ican aviation. 1t is the danger that
through a misinterpretation of the
experience of the past few weeks
we may be led into adopting a
wasteful organization, destructive
alike of military and of CONNER
cial efficiency.
Since the army set out to fly
the mails we have been led by
easy stages into the delusive no.
ton that it is natural and proper
that military and commercial avn
alton should function along COM
mon lines and under a common
control. Enthusiasts with schemes
of their own to promote have
played leading part in inculcat-
ing that idea.
The proposal has been seriously
made that army and navy officers
should serve term as co-pilots
on commercial lines as part OF
their training. That would be just
exactly as sensible, from the point
of view of military training, as
to require that all army motor
transport drivers should leave
their jobs to spend a few months
behind the wheel of New York
taXicab.
1t has been suggested that all
commercial pilots should be re-
quired to enroll in the military re-
serve and to do occasional terms
of active duty. and even that mill
tary and commercial planes should
be required to be developed along
common lines.
The most important phase of
our development of air policy is
that we should avoid falling into
error on the relations Of military
land civil flying. We must protect
ourselves against false and mis-
leading assertions, often heard in
recent months that European avi-
alton is organized along lines that
make the military and civil sides
interchangeable. If it were true
it would prove nothing, for the
superiority of American air trans
port to that of Europe in efficien-
cy, in speed, in safety, and in pop
ularity with its patrons is motor
ious and can be proved by Stats
tics, but as matter Of fact it is
not true. A number of European
countries have air ministries with
general relationship to all aero
nautical matters, but in practical
ly every instance the operations
of the military forces and of COM

JONES is FAR
DOWN LIST IN
TOURNAMENT
Buried by Men He Used to
Torment; Plays Reck-
lessly Friday
By HENRY McLEMoRE
limited Press Staff Correspondent

] OritcC EESSS ShSAA
AUGUSTA. Ga, March "a
UTP)-The deep south faced an
other lost cause last night as Bob
bv Jones, robbed of the magic
touch that once was his, had his
chance of winning the $4,000
Mesters' Invitation golf tourna-
ment literally shot out from under
him yesterday by brigade of cal
Ious professionals.
Last night with So of the ~
holes completed. the Georgian was
far down the list, buried behind
more than score of the men he
used to torment when he was en-
peror and his kingdom embraced
all the far-flung fairways Of the
world.
His back squarely to the wall
when he started out Friday, Jones
cast caution aside and played
gambling, reckless golf. He struck
straight for the flag with every
shot but the song was gone from
his woods, the rhythm from his
irons. The best he could do was a
IA. two above par, which coupled
with his T6 of the opening round,
gave him an aggregate of $50.
This was exactly eight strokes be-
hind the pace-setter. lanky Horton
Smith of New York, who blazed
around in 70 for the imposing ag-
gregate Of LAP.
Tied for second, with 143, were
Billy Burke of Cleveland, and the
big black cigar, and Ed Dudley,
Augusta national pro. Burke turn
ed in a II yesterday while Dud-
ley came through with a 50 to
gain the honor of being the irst
man in the tournament to crack
70.
Running only a whisper behind
with IA were Macdonald Smith,
the ageleSs veteran with the clas-
sic strokes; Jimmy Hines. the
Timber Point youngster, and
Ralph Stonehouse, Indianapolis
workman. Hines, who bagged a 70
in the first round, slumped to "a
today. Smith apologized for his IA
with a sub-par 10. Smith was hot
on the home nine, turning it in
33.
Waiting at AS. ready to slip
through the narrowest of OPEN
ings, were three seasoned veter-
ans-Craig Wood, Al Espinosa
and Leo Diegel-and the sensa-
tional New York youngster, Paul
Runyan.
These gentlemen were only a
few of the men who stood in Bob
by's path, for strung out through
the 144's, 147's. 1885 and 149's,
were seventeen others, including
such formidable sharpshooters as
Denny Shute, British open cham
pion. Johnny Golden, Walter Ha-
gen who slumped badly today, -
Willie .McFarlane and Bobby
Cruickshank.
Jones has come from as far be-
hind as this before, but he was
playing golf then. And he isn't
now. He has absolutely no putting,
In getting his "a yesterday, he
had SO puts. Not once, but half
dozen times. he missed little fel,
lows not much longer than your
arm. On the sixteenth green he
laid his chip shot less than a foot
from the cup But with a birdie
his for the asking. he missed the
putt.
After starting with a par four
on the first hole. Bobby went one
over on the second when he need
ed three puts. His putter obeyed
him for one of the few times since
the tournament started, on the
| fourth hole. From fifty feet he
