Altogether six American republics
have indicated they would like
United States weapons. Sumner
Welles, Undersecretary of State, has
told House and Senate Foreign Re-
lations Committees that all the
Latin American nations approve
the legislation.
The Other Side.
The House passed the bill late
in the session but opposition in the
Senate Foreign Relations Committee
held up the legislation until the
final hours of the session. BY the
time it was released from the COM
mittee, it was too late. Four Re-
publican members, Borah of Idaho
johnson of California, White of
Maine and Vandenberg of Michigan,
said the bill would do far more
harm than good.
Instead of promoting hemispher-
ical good feeling, they said, it would
breed discord and rivalry in Latin
America. If the United States
agreed to build a ship or two for
one South American country, they
said, all others would get panicky
After all. the balance Of power in
South America is almost as delicate
as in Europe.
Further, they argued, there Is a
genuine dislike In America for put
ting the United States in the NUM-
tons business.
THE United States shouldn't be
huckstering military weapons and
battleships to our neighbors to the
SOUTH said Senator johnson.
The Army, Navy and State De-
partments answered that the coun-
tries can already buy whatever they
wish abroad, so discord would not
result just because they bought
American.
The thing will come up again

it had been put forth early in 1898
instead of that second series of

The time for a substitution of lend
ing for spending was when the re-
cession of 1887 showed the first ILL
effects of stoppage of Government
spending. Perhaps some such recess
sion may come in 1910, when an
other effort will be made to put

Argentinian fyer-explorers. Differ
ence is that, whereas Mr.. Ellis
Worth's motives are purely scien-
tiflc, in other cases international
politics in their relation to geo.
graphical claims are the incentives.
Love of adventures manifested
when yet in his teens sent Els
worth forth to explore unknown
regions in different parts Of the
world. Scion of wealthy parents,
born in Chicago in 1880, he could
have ordered his career, had he
wished, along many lines less stren-
uous and of fewer hazards than
the one he chose and in which he
has become so distinguished. He
came East to crack seat of sec
ondary learning, the Hill School,
PottstoWn, Pa, and upon gradua-
ton entered Columbia, where he
won scholastic honors in the de-
partment of civil engineering.
Faring forth into the wild, he be-
came an axman on the first Grand
Trunk Pacific Railway survey OF the
transcontinental route across Can
ada. For five yers he saw the vir-
gin land of the Northwest, lived
among Indians, shared the hard
ships Of pioneers. In 1907 he be-
came resident engineer Of the Grand
Trunk at Prince Rupert, British
Columbia, and later he held a SINH
lar position on construction work
west of Montreal for the Canadian
Pacific Railway.
But his work, filled though it was
with hardship and adventure, was
not enough. Restlessness was in his
soul and the unknown beckoned. So
1909 found him in the Peace
River district in Northern Canada,
prospecting for gold and the fol-
lowing year he was with the Kouga-
rock Mining Co. in Alaska.
The real turning point in his ca
reer came with his meeting with
Raoui Amundsen in Paris in 1924,
resulting in an immediate friendship
broken only by Amundsen's tragic
death. With the great Norwegian
explorer he participated in various
expeditions eliminating in 1925
with the famous flight in dirigible
over the North Pole.

Ammunition Must Fit.
The Army and Navy have an
equal interest in the thing In
case of world war, the United
States and the other American re-
publics likely would be shoulder to
shoulder in defense of this hemi-
sphere. If the republics to the
south were equipped with European
weapons they could buy no fresh
supplies OF ammunition during the
war And nothing made by the
United States would fit.
The Army and Navy hoped-and
eXpected-that orders for anti
aircraft and coast defense weapons
would come from a number Of South
American nations.
Although the bill permitted them
also to buy battleships or smaller
craft, the Navy people don't expect
they will. The Navy does not look
for much hemispherical defense
from the Latin American navies.
One modern battleship and a few
heavy cruisers could put all the
South American navies to rout.
But Of special Importance to the
Navy are bases and safe harbors
along the American coast. In a
war these bases would be of tre-
mendous Importance. Rio de Janeiro,
for instance. would need anti
aircraft weapons to shoot away

will have to be made.
At tNe meeting yesterday in his
Office, Maj. Ernest w. Brown, chief
of police. said the new regulation

At some time in the future only

complete halt of traffic can be held
to week ends and only for a short
duration. Under the contract, work
must be completed in one year.
Construction of the Key Bridge

new road work along the Virginia
side of the Potomac River.
Today'S regulations permit traffic
on the bridge during hours when
work is halted. However, street cars,

cross at any hour. In addition, spe-
cial emergency passes will be issued

Key Bridge Traffic
In Late Afternoon
In Effect Today
Drivers Permitted TO
- Use 1t From AIS PM.
To 7 AM.

Georgetown business men and
Virginia residents were somewhat
appeased today by the opening of
Key Bridge to late afternoon traffic,
but some felt only partial solu-
ticn had been reached by permitting
use of the span from Ais pm. to
am. Both groups are seeking "a
hour service.
The new regulation, effective this
afternoon, resulted from a meeting
of District officials yesterday fol-
lowing protests from persons in
Georgetown who said their busi-
nesses had been injured and Vir-
ginia residents who use the bridge
as their nearest approach to this
city. Georgetown business men
after a survey said their business
was heaviest from 4::30 to 7 pm.
and that closing the bridge until
6 pm. had made serious inroads on
their trade.
John Paul Jones, a spokesman for
the business men, said "It's swell"
when informed of the new hours.
"Our business men are very happy"
he said. The traffic detour signs on
Washington Circle should be
changed Immediately, he added.
Pending final solution of the
traffic problem, interested groups
are working for an inclusion in the
District deficiency appropriation of
funds to build a detour trestle. At
the meeting of District engineers
this plan was temporarily rejected
as too costly. Their estimates were
for $4,000. However, the groups
working for the trestle claim it
could be built for as little as $35, 900.
Representatives Jennings Ran
dolph and Howard w. Smith, fol-
lowing conferences with representa-
tives Of the Georgetown and Virginia
residents. called on Representative
Ross Collins, who is drawing the
District deficiency bill. They asked
Mr.. Collins to consider inclusion of
q sufficient amount to build the by
pass. Provision for a detour at the
site of bridge construction was not
included in the original ALLEGATION.
Final action on the proposal will
come after the bill is reported to the
House. If no provision is made for
the detour it may be added from the
floor.
Representative Randolph, chair
man of the House District Commit
tee, who daily passes Key Bridge en-
route to his home, said, "I readily
can understand the situation in
Georgetown and I do not know of
any other construction work where
there is that flow of traffic. Some
thing should be done and if there
is any way that I can assist I Ger
tainly will"
After observing Georgetown con-
ditions he said the new extended
regulation was step in the right
direction" He feels District officials
