By the Associated Press.
Representative Snyder, Democrat
Of Pennsylvania, advocate of greater
national defense, said today he will
urge the next Congress to finance
nine super-highways over which
armed forces could move speedily to
repel an invader at any point.
Three routes would be from coast
to coast and six from Canada to the
Gulf Of Mexico. Each would be zoe
feet wide and there would be a huge
airport at each of the l8 intersections
Snyder, chairman Of a House SUBJ
committee handling the military ap-
preparation bill, estimated the total
cost at 8,OOO,o00,00o.
Looking at this proposal from the
standpoint Of defense and economy
for 100 years or more" he said, at
appears less fantastic. In peacetime
they could be used for commercial
purposes"
Airplanes based in the heart Of the
Nation could fly along the routes to
either coast in II hours, he said, while
Army equipment could be moved
across the continent in 70 hours.
The Pennsylvania said he also
would urge that Congress provide
funds next year to let the Army OBJ
tain more than 600 airplanes and ad-
ditional anti-aircraft guns and begin
building a giant, defensive air base
in Alaska
He said next years national defense
fund probably would equal and per-
haps surpass last sessions peacetime
record of 1891 100000.
The session just ended appropriated
1898, l54 for the Army and $516,-
258,808 for the Navy.
The Army bill will allow the War
Department to buy or contract for 5l3
airplanes. Snyder said he favored in
creasing that number by 100 next
year. 1t supplied funds to start con-
struction of an air base at Tacoma,
Wash.-the first Of a chain intended
to guard Americas borders.
He predicted, too, that Congress
would vote money to allow the Army
to increase its equipment of tanks,
armored cars, semi-automatic rifles,
motors and guns that can be towed at
high speed
Snyder said he is considering calling
his subcommittee together December

e1tens1re regulatory poUer, utth
heauy penalties prescribed for fail
ure OF traders to keep their dealings
open to agencies.
BY the Associated Press.
Officials spread a net today in which,
they said, they hoped to trap large
spectators attempting to manipulate
prices OF corn, wheat, cotton and other
farm commodities In violation OF Fed
eral regulations.
For the first time, the Commodity
Exchange Administration, which su-
pervlses speculative trading in farm
products, ordered 900 registered COM
mission houses to report all commodity
accounts that are controlled "by any
persons other than the owner"
DR.. j. w. T. Duvel, chief of the
Federal agency, said there sis reason
to believe that not all persons who
control accounts having an aggregate
open interest OF 200,o0O,000 bushels
Of grain are reporting their operations
daily"
This was required. he said, and
failure to report, upon conviction, is
punishable by fine Of $4,000, or
one year Imprisonment, or both"
Importance to Farmers.
Duvel said the sweeping order had
been issued because 1T is especially
important to farmers that during the
next few months when crops are mov-
ing from the farms and the major
part OF them are being sold that there
should be no concerted drive by spec
ulators to manipulate prices"
Officials said many individuals and
firms recently had offered services to
the public in management of trading
accounts"
BY this method, Duvel asserted,
clerk in q commission house could
control number of accounts and
hook back up to some single indi-
vidual" for large operations.
This is not the first time that large
traders operating through numerous
names have failed to report" he said.
In 1888 one small group of traders
operating through a single commits
sion house held open contracts of over
100000 bushels, but did not report
as required"
Two members Of the commission
house were denied all trading priv
ileges for six months in that case
under the old grain futures act. The
new commodity act makes failures to
report criminal offense.
Asks Reports on Individuals.
officials asked reports on any per-
son who advertises either publicly or
| privately that he is in position to in.
fluence commodity futures prices and
can guarantee handsome profits if
given authority to manage q trading
| account"
Frequently" Duvel said, such per-
sons have series OF failures and
bankruptcies behind them"
The new order to futures commits
sion merchants registered under the
commodity act requires report on
every commodity account controlled
through power of attorney. or other
wise, by any person other than the
owner"
Duvel said records here indicated
an open interest of 1873, 100000 bushels
in wheat and about 52,000,000 bushels

unavailable now but would be in the
