STATE DIRECTOR FOR WASHINGTON
 HAS PROPOSAL
Suggests that Canada Fi- nance Building by Levy
 ing Reasonable Sum ALTERNATE SCHEME
 AFFECTS WAR DEBT
Immediate Aerial Survey Urged - Says U. s.
 Should Go Ahead

WASHINGTON, May 28.--Lacy Murrow. Washington State Di- rector of Highways, proposes that Canada levy reasonable sum to finance construction of the Canad- ian portion of the International Highway to Alaska via the Fraser River Valley.
 Murrow is here attending con- ference of Bureau of Public Roads officials.
 Murrow said he is convinced that with reasonable gas tax, the In- ternational Highway will pay for itself within seven or eight years"
 The estimated cost of the 1,180 miles of road is $14.00O,000.
 As an alternate plan, Murrow proposed that the Department of State suggest to the Canadian Government it assume the Domin- ions share of the road. about $10,- 100000, and in return the United States will cancel that much from the British war debt.
 Murrow urges an immediate aer- ial survey of the Alaskan route which ground parties have already declared feasible. He said the Am erican Government can well afford to finance the highway, if neces- sary in view of the millions of dollars 1t is spending in construc- tion in the Central Americas in an effort to link the United States and the Panama Canal.

WASHINGTON, May 26.-This Congressional economy wave is no laughing matter to Government agencies that have to live, as it were, by their wits.
 IVA Chairman Arthur E. Mor- gan was caught in the backwash and well nigh drowned in his ef- fort to snatch dam out of the tightening fists of Senators.
 He finally made it, and when the Senate fully opened it's eyes to what it had done it found it had appropriated money to begin a dam on the Tennessee River comparable in cost to Boulder dam. The House found out too late.

IT'S THE LAW

Senators detected the House confusion and Morgan conceded the Representatives had "misunder- stood" him. But the committee fin ally voted him the money and the Senate followed through, 46 to 29.
 Senators, who doubted they ever had authorized either the survey or construction, were sown a lit- tie two line item in the IVA bill passed in the 1883 gold rush. It said:
 "All appropriations necessary to carry out the provisions of this act are hereby authorized So Morgan had em.

UNWITTING

Morgan, Tn manner he said was unwilling, slipped one over on the House and may have his hands full pacifying some of the mem bers, but he has already made his kill for the cash.
 Not until he appeared before a Senate Appropriations Committee was it clearly brought out that the little item of $2,7o0,000 he was ask ing for in the IVA appropriation bill was really, to start construc- tion of the $112,O00,O00 Gilberts- vile dam on the Tennessee.
 Morgan gave the House Appro- priaticns Committee the impress sion that the money was merely to complete necessary surveys Now it must be remembered that sur- veys are a casual sort of thing and do not commit Congress to actual building.
 Morgan knew that, so perhaps he might be excused for not mak- ing it absolutely clear to House committee members that the money he asked was to begin the actual building, as well as to finish sur yeys. Once the job started, Con- gress would have to pay and pay unless it did a turn-about as in the case of the Florida ship canal.
