S0LONS DISCUSS
SUPER HIGHWAYS
Rep. Snyder Plans To Explair:
His Measure On House
Floor This Week

WASHINGTON, Feb. 1s.- up -
Super highways criss-crosslng the
nation-with renewed emphasis on
their possible use in national de-
tense plans-have become a subject
for congressional discussion again.
Representative Snyder D-Pa)
dropped his highway bill into the
house hopper again-then mmedl
ately obtained house agreement ina
he should be permitted to discuss
the plan on the house floor next
week.
Presentation of Snyder's bill
HRS503) completed the list Of such
measures pending before several re-
cent sessions of congress. Repre-
sentative Randolph DIV VA) pre-
yiously had introduced his trio OF
highway bills HR116, lis and 2754).
All of the measures contemplate
construction of north-south and east.
west highways on which cars could
travel at unlimited speeds. Each
would have wide lanes, would ellml-
nate intersections and skirt towns
and cities to avoid local traffic."
Disapproval of the bureau of pub
lie roads was voiced last year IN a
report on the proposals which held
that there was insufficient trans
continental traffic to justify toll
highways.
Estimates have been made that
the program would require expendl'
ture of several billions of dollars to
be regained through collection OF
toll charges from motorists.
Snyder's bill specifically would
provide for an appropriation of 3d.
600, OOO, 900 to put the plan into Ell
feet on three transcontinental and
four north-south highways.
The Pennsylvanian's measure
which he first offered five years ago,
also would designate the general
routes for the highways.
AS specified in the bill they would
be:
Boston, through Albany, Cleveland,
Chicago, Rapid City, S. D., Yellow
stone National Park and Council
Bluffs, Idaho, to Salem, Ore.
Baltimore through Cumberland,
Md, Uniontown, Pa, Wheeling w.
Va, Indianapolis, Springfield, Ill,
Phillipsburg, Mo-, Denver, Hunting
ton, Utah, Duckwater, New, and
Yosemite National Park to San
Francisco.
Saint Petersburg, Fla, through
Mobile, Ala, Baton Rouge, San An
tonic and Ell Paso to Los Angeles.
Fort Myers, Fla, through Saint
Petersburg, Reidsville, Ga, Column
bia, S. c., Raleigh, N. c., Rich
mond, Va, Baltimore, New Bruins
wick, N. j., Hartford, Conn.,, and
Concord, N. H, to Augusta, Me.
Buffalo, N. Y, through Pittsburgh,
Uniontown, Charleston, W. Va,
Jonesboro, Tenn, and Atlanta, to
Pensacola.
Baton Rouge through Jackson,
Miss, and Memphis to Chicago.
San Antonio through Hobart,
Okla, Ness City, Kan, Broken Bow,
Neb., and Pierre, S. D., to Bis
march, N. D.
Ell Paso, through Ell MORO Ma
tional Monument, N. M, and Salt
Lake City to Phillipsburg, Mont.
San Diego, Calf, through Los
Angeles, Calf, Bakersfield, Calf,
Sacramento, Calf, and klamath
Falls, Ore, to Seattle.
Randolph's bills on the other
hand, would create a commission to
study the general subject of super
highways; authorize the creation of
a corporation to carry out construc-
ton, and create a highway commis-N
sion empowered to cooperate with a
private corporation in the construc-
ton.

Court Will Review
Labor Board Order
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
The Supreme Court agreed today
to review a decision denying en-
forcement of National Labor Board
order which directed the Bradford
Dyeing Association of Bradford, r.
l., to disestablish a union of COM
pany employees.
Among other actions, before the
court adjourned until January 20, it
dismissed litigation involving con-
stitutionality of New York Citys 2
per cent sales tax, as applied to
fuel oil imported from Venezuela
for use on outgoing European liners.
This left in effect a decision by
the New York Supreme Court hold
ing the act unconstitutional in q
case where $35,013 tax deficiency
was sought from the Gulf Oil Corp.
In dismissing an appeal by New
York City "for the want of juris-
diction," the court said it was un-
able to find that the decision of
the State court did not rest upon
an adequate non-Federal ground"
-Four other cases involving the
same act, as applied to products
brought into the city, across the
State line, are awaiting decision.
The act was held unconstitutional
by New York courts in each case.
The court also refused to re-
consider its December II decision
holding that the Texas franchise
tax law is applicable to the Ford
Motor Co., and similar. interstate
corporations.

information from union ofIicials

ing the merits Of the controversy"
Mr.. Dudley said this had occurred
in perhaps two cases. He mentioned
the st. Louis Ford case, of which he
said:
TT was not a union ofIicial, as I
recall 1t, that the information came
from, but from the regional ONCE in
st. Louis"
The information, Mr.. Dudley said.
concerned the alleged discovery that

member with throwing acid on him
had confessed that he threw the acid
on himself to stir up publicity.
"The question was raised whether
the hearing should be reopened or
this should be made q part Of the
record. I replied that had already
written my report and did not think
it would affect my findings"
In the Pittsburgh Plate Glass Co.

led in his outdoor inclosure, was
i'll only a few days. After q post

Business Levy Upheld
By Appellate Court

The validity of the business privi-
lege tax. provided for under the
District revenue law, effective Au-
gust II, 1887. today was sustained
by the United States Court of Ap-
peals.
Under the statute a gross re-
ceipts tax was levied for the privi-
lege of engaging in business in the
District during the fiscal year 1897
38. The partnership of William H.
Neild and ]. Emerson Sauerhof, en-
gagged in buying and selling perish
able fruit and other produce. paid
the tax under protest. They lost
q suit in Municipal Court to re-
cover the amount paid when that
tribunal held the tax valid. Under
a writ of error, the firm appealed
to the United States Court of Ap-
peals, which, because of the i'm
portance of the questions involved,
heard the case on reargument be-
fore court of five members, where
only three had heard the original
case.
Inc co-partnerS contended the
lower courts decision was in error
on the ground commerce between
the District of Columbia and q
State is interstate commerce with
in the meaning of the Constitution:
that hence this tax, levied upon
gross receipts, was from trans
actions carried on by them in in
terstate commerce and that such
q tax constitutes q direct and un-
lawful burden on interstate COM
merce.
The opinion was written by As
sociate Justice Justin Miller, who
heard the case with Chief Justice
D. Lawrence Groner and Associate
Justices Harold M. Stephens, Henry
w. Edgerton and Fred M. Vinson.
Representing the District govern
ment were Corporation Counsel

Large Subs Needed,
Says Stark; Defends
Destroyer Program
Startling information
About Army Promised
By Group Making Tour

BY the Associated Press.
Admiral Harold r. Stark, chief
of naval operations, today told the
House Naval Affairs Committee the
United States Navy needs subma-
rines larger than those of some for.
eign powers and defended plans for
expansion of the Navy against crit
icism that the proposed expenditure
of 0,000, 900 is "topheavy" in
favor of destroyers.
At the same time members OF a
congressional delegation who made
a 25,000-mile airplane tour Of mill
tary establishments said they were
going to give Gen. George c. Mar
shall, Army chief Of staff, some
startling information about his own
organization.
Admiral Stark told the committee
the larger submarines are needed
because undersea operations might
be required In the South Atlantic.
Germany and Russia have built
large numbers of small undersea
craft designed for use against their
nearby potential enemies, he said.
At the same time, he added, Ger
many has constructed types that are
larger, of longer radius and have
greater seagoing characteristics.
Japan's Policy Cited.
att has been the policy of Japan
to build large submarines capable
of operating in distant areas" the
chief of naval operations continued.
Regarding the expenditures for de.
stroyers, he said it should be re-
membered that Great Britain has a
total of 359 destroyers and other
specially constructed escort vessels
built or being built, adding that with
the new program the United States
would have only 242 destroyers. in.
cluding those over age.
Gen. Marshall has asked members
of the congressional group which
toured the military establishments
to report their views and findings di-
rectly to him.
Speed on Rifles Urged.
Members of the group, which
toured Army posts in this country,
Panama and Puerto Rico, already
have recommended that production
of the Army's new semi-automatic
rifle be speeded and that some Of
the military posts, dating back to
Indian fighting days. be abolished.
1t was learned, however, that
many additional recommendations
would be submitted and that one
instance of congressional interfer-
ence with part of the Army's pro-
gram would be reported.
Gen. Marshall and Secretary
Woodring may get some of this in
formation tomorrow when they are
scheduled to attend a closed ses-
sion of the House Military Affairs
Committee.
