ABOARD ROOSEVELT TRAIN
EN- ROUTE TO WASHINGTON,
March 2.-President Roosevelt rode
toward the National Capital today
ready to begin blueprinting addi-
tional defenses for the Panama
Canal.
He was prepared to pick up again
the White House duties he had
dropped for 15-day cruise on which
fishing was subordinated to minute
inspection of those defenses.
He brought back from his 1000
mile voyage a definite idea that
the number Of alrplanes and anti
aircraft guns already at the canal
must be doubled and that a third
set Of canal locks was esential.
Shaping up, therefore. was scrap
with Congress for legislation to
strengthen the Navy's lifeline be-
tween The Atlantic and Pacific. The
House Appropriations Committee has
slashed from the War Departments
civil functions appropriation bill a
SIS 1000 900 fund and a 500 300 900
contract authorization recommend
ed by the President to permit a start
on new set Of canal locks costing
$277 900 900.
The number of aircraft and anti
aircraft guns already located in the
Canal Zone is a military secret.
The President is counting on CO.
operation of other Latin American
nations in case the canal ever is
jeopardized. The critical defense
zone. as he sees it, extends east half
way across the Caribbean, west into
the Pacific 600 miles, north to
Guatemala and south to Ecuador,
Colombia and Venezuela.
Upon his return to Washington,
one of Mr.. Roosevelt's first acts will
be to sign bill which would allow
Finland to obtain a $4,000, 600 loan
for military purposes.
Several cabinet members have
asked to see the President and Sec
retary Morgenthau was given q
tentative appointment for Sunday
afternoon. Aides said Mr.. Roosevelt
probably would hold his usual Mon
day morning conference with House
and Senate leaders.
The presidential special, due in
Washington late today, was hours
behind schedule because q dense fog
prevented a prompt Decentralization

ended yesterday. For seven hours
the cruiser Tuscaloosa. which car
ried Mr.. Roosevelt on the cruise, and
the escort destroyers Lang and
Jouett lay at anchor q mile and q
half of Pensacola, unable to enter
the harbor channel.
Signs Flood Aid Authorization.
In midafternoon, with Comdr.
Felix johnson calling orders from
the bridge, the Lang deftly inched
alongside the Tuscaloosa, guided
only by the sound Of the cruisers
bell, then took the President to q
dock at the Pensacola Naval Air
Station.
The President signed last night
an authorization for John Carmody,
Federal Works Administrator, to use
$3.50 900 for work relief for persons
in need because Of floods in North
ern California.
He also signed resolution appro-
priating an additional $500, 900 for
expenditure before June 80 in paying
claims resulting from the death or
disability of persons employed on
emergency relief projects. The
s., zoe, 900 originally appropriated for
the purpose for the current fiscal
year was insufficient.
