AUSTRIA TO OPEN

GrossgIockner Road Will

By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
The GrossglocKner highway in the
Austrian Alps, affcrding the motorist
some of the most magnificent scenery
in the world, is scheduled for compile
tion this year, probably in the Fall.
Americans visiting historic Salzburg
and other resorts in the Tyrolean
Alps will be able to try out their
streamlined power plants in an ascent
OF the Grossglockner Range and at
the highest point of the highway can
surmount the famous Edelweiss Noun
tain.
No longer will it be necessary for
seekers of the rare and inaccessible
Edelweiss blossom to make their tor
tuous way entirely by foot. The
-Glockner Pass lies about 95 miles
south Of Salzburg. At the summit an
observation parking place. nearly 5000
feet above sea level, has been laid out.
Travel Facilities Eased.
The new road will connect with the
Federal highway, which crosses the
Italian frontier some 20 miles south
of Glockner Pass.
The foreign travel division of the
American Automobile Association re-
ports that facilities and ease Of motor
travel in foreign countries are more
favorable than ever before The in
stallation of international road signs
and the virtual abolition of European
road taxes are said to have created a
tremendously favorable impression on
American motorists.
Reduced cost of transportation and
more efficient handling of automobiles
by steamship companies make up to
some extent, it is pointed out, for the
increased cost of gasoline and oil in
foreign countries.
Customs Barriers Dropped.
Agreements perfected by the Amer
ican Automobile Association with
European Motor Clubs, European
countries and steamship companies
now make it possible to issue all nec-
essary documents ahead of sailing and
enable American motorists to take
their cars into any part of the world
without having to pay customs duties.
American motor travel abroad in
creased about % per cent in the last
year, cars from AZ out of 48 States
'being shipped by the American Auto
mobile Association to 50 ports of
debarkation in Europe, Asia and
Africa.
Most of the American cars sent
abroad were in the light weight, low
priced class, indicating a desire to
economic on gas and oil. The aver
age duration of tours abroad last year
was go days, compared with 80 days
in previous years.

BY JACQUES FUTRELLE, JR.

~ DING around America, one
way by water through the
Y Panama Canal and returning
~ home overland, has not re-
ceived all the attention it de-
serves. It is not at all complicated.
Railroad and steamship lines have
co-operated to reduce such a trip to
formula. amazingly simple. And
one may also return through part of
Canada under the plan without extra
cost.
A travel agency-for instance, the
American Express Co.-or agents of
the ship lines which operate east
west coast service, will gladly outline
the scheme. It was devised a few
years ago, but has not received any
amount of publicity. Many people
who enjoy travel, consequently, never
heard of it.
THE plan operates under the author
i ity of the Mcguire railroad tariff,
and is becoming known as the
home -town-to- home town route. The
rate is available to all those who live
al S1tACo etA1t4 OOWA4o fhAoA4S AldAA1 IlIlCo
Of the United States or Canada which
operate as part Of tranScon-
tinental system.
The focal point of the combina-
ton land and sea rate is the blanket
charge of $50 for rail transportation.
In some cases, the actual tranScon-
tinental fare is more than that. From
Washington, for instance. it is $89.23.
If a Washingtonian purchases the
combination, he is given rail ticket
to New York, which comes to $8.14 in
itself. He saves more than 81.
THERE is more to the plan than
i that. Sailing from New York via
the Caribbean and eventually de-
barking at San Francisco, he may
continue north by rail to Portland,
Seattle or Vancouver. This north
ward trip entails no extra cost. If
the passenger leaves the liner at Los
Angeles, however, he must pay an
additional fare of $1180 for the
northern leg of the trip. This repre-
sents the rail fare between Los
Angeles and San Francisco.
The Canadian Pacific and the
Canadian National Railroads have CO.
operated with American roads to
carry out the plan. If he starts his
journey home by Canadian route,
the around America traveller passes
through the beautiful Lake Louise
Banff region. But then he must take
the most direct route home. For the
plan is not a fairy tale. One cannot
wander about forever on his $50
ticket.
There are other return routes
available-either through Chicago or
New Orleans. One routing takes the
homeward-bound traveller through
Salt Lake City to Chicago; another,
through st. Louis to the Midwest's
great metropolis, and then on east.
A passenger who lives in New Or
leans is furnished transportation to
Havana, Cuba, where he joins the
ship. On his return he need not go
directly home from the West Coast
by the southern route, but may go on
to New York, then turn southwark
It may be arranged to make the
overland trip by plane on a combina-
ton fare. The rate Is higher If this
mode of travel Is used, but blanket
rate has been worked on for this serv-
ice, too.

WITH it all, the traveller gets stop
w over privileges at any inter-
mediate points. Side trips of |

and meals are not included in the |

AIKEN CRITICIzES
 AMERICAN LEGION
Claims Veterans, D. A. R. UnpatriOtic-
 Also "All Wrong"

Charges that the members of the American Legion and D. A. k. are unpatriotic despite their claim to be 100 per cent American were made last night by John w. Aiken so- cialist-Labor party leader, in an address delivered last night near the Soldiers and Sailors monument at the west end of the Green. He stated that the socialist labor party adheres to the principles of the Revolutionary fathers while the American Legion and D. A. R. fol- low a program which upholds the capitalistic system which, in the opinion of the speaker, is destruc- tive to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.
 Only 8 small group heard the speaker deliver his address. MT. Aiken was the socialist-labor party candidate for ice-president in the last national election. Exhaustion of the world market for American good was blamed by him for the present unemployment situation. He also blamed the substitution of machines for manual labor for un- employment.
 According to MT. Aiken, the president, his advisers, various moderate reformers and the social ists are wrong in working on the principle that if the abuses of the capitalistic system are corrected prosperity will return. Under the capitalistic system, he declared, the workers will never receive suffi- cient share of what they produce to buy the articles they produce.

 Henry H. Benedict, who had originally interested Philo Rem ington, w. o. Wyckoff, well known court reporter, and Clarence w. Seamans bought out the plant from the Remington people, changing the name to Remington Typewrit- CT company. This was the predeces- sor of the present Remington Rand, Inc. The Noiseless Typewriter com- pany of Middletown, and the Rem ington Typewriter company of Bridgeport are affiliated compa- nies.
 History of Companies
 The Underwood Elliott Fisher company had its inception when Crawford Elliott of Centralia, Ill., and Robert J. Fisher of Athens, Tenn, combined in 1903, and ex- hibited the fiat platen writing ma chine with an adding device at the St. Louis exposition in 904. Franz Wagner invented the, first visible bar typewriter in 1895 which was christened Underwood. The plant was originally located in Bayonne, N. J., but moved to Hartford at the advice of Charles D. Rice, en- gineer and formerly connected with the Pope Mfg Co.,, bicycle builders located at Hartford.
 The Royal Typewriter Co. was given its mechanical impetus by Edward B. Hess and Lewis c. My CTS, and financial backing by Thomas F. Ryan. Operations were started in @ small building in Brooklyn and later moved to Hart ford in search of less crowded quarters and skilled workmen. Despite keen competition, the Rayal company introduced two new models in 1911 and 1914 which in vogue. In 1926 the portable typewriter was introduced unon the market and immediately proved popular.
 The Veeder-Root company of Hartford is today an acknowledge ed leader in the manufacture of counting devices. Curtis H. Veeder, electrical engineer for the Thomp- Houston company of Lynn, Mass, devised the cyc1ometer for measuring distance travelled on a bicycle for the sake of satisfying his curiosity. Thus did the Veedcr company start. At the same time Charles J. Root of New Britain was sold the idea of manufacturing counter known as the Elm City cniInfar Tnhn TT Chidcov Iirch ced the business after Roots death and manufactured industrial counters for use in the textile and heavy manufacturing plants. The merger of the two gave the Veeder Doot company preeminence in their field. All the Connecticut concerns are cooperating in the tercentenary in- dustrial exposition.
