S287,OO0,OOO Asked
For Development
OF Defense Roads
Cormody Submits Report
Of Highway Agency
To President

President Roosevelt had before
him today a report recommending
appropriation of S287 100000 for i'm
mediate defense highway construc-
ton and the planning of post-emer-
gency highway improvements.
Federal Works Administrator John
M. Carmody submitted the report,
prepared by the Public Roads Ad-
ministration, to the Chief Executive
yesterday, urging these specific ap-
preparations:
Sl5O,0OO000 for immediate con-
struction of access roads to serve
military and naval reservations and
defense industries.
500 1000 900 for immediate strength
ening of certain weak sections OF
the national highway system des1g-
mated by the War and Navy depart
ments as the strategic network.
S25.OOO 900 for construction and re-
pair of special tactical roads desig-
mated by the War Department.
Sl20OO.000 for advance planning
of post emergency improvements.
Entire Program Urged.
The Public Roads Administration,
the report recommended, should be
authorized by legislation to put the
entire program into operation.
Access road construction would be
carried out in cooperation with
State highway departments, but paid
for entirely by Federal funds. Con-
tributions to the cost of strengthen
ing the strategic network" would
be required from State funds, but
the Federal contribution will be
greater than the normal $3.50 Fed
eral-aid highway program.
Provision also is made for reim-
bursement of expenditures made by
States and counties for repair of
roads damaged by military use.
While Mr.. Carmody's report did
not list a breakdown of how the
funds would be distributed, it said,
however, that access highways at a
large number of posts had been GER
titled by the War and Navy Depart
ments as of prior importance.

THIS TELL-TALE RADIO

We will all be living in the proverbial
''glass house, if the scientists keep on dis
covering new means of checking US up.
With photographs and truth serums and a
new device said to be capable of making
moving pictures of what goes on in room,
without the knowledge of its occupants,
they are getting things down pretty fine.
Besides these schemes for the invasion
of privacy, of which evildoers might be
warned, Fred Taylor of Kansas City would
probably caution them to keep off the air
for the radio proved to be his undoing.
Some months after deserving wife in
Illinois, Fred married a young society wom-
an in the Missouri city. the wedding being
a swell affair, with the ceremony performed
by bishop To make the occasion strictly
up-to-date, the proceedings were broadcast
over the church radio.
Wife No. happened to be listening in
at her Illinois home, and as Fred had neg
lected the minor detail of getting a divorce
or changing his name, his duplicity was ex-
posed. The deserted wife journeyed west
ward.
When the judge asked the two Mrs.
Taylors- to suggest suitable punishment
for their joint spouse, they agreed that five
years would be about right, but his honor
thought that two years in Jefferson City
would satisfy the demands of the blind
goddess, and so decreed
There Fred will have ample oppOr-
tunity to reflect on the wonders of science,
particularly the radio.

UNITED SUPPORT FOR THE WINNERS

City council, as we have known it for
the past two years, viii soon dissolve.
Three of its members have announced
they viii not run again. and the fate of the
other four is bound up in field of % can
didates, who win not know until Nov. IL
if they are to have share in the direction
of the city's government.
The 6,000-odd Key West voters, there
fore, have in their hands between now and
Tuesday the sole choice in the type of gov
eminent they will have in 1912 and 1913.
IF they are not pleased with the results
after the votes are in, then the fault is
theirs, alone.
For the last two years, as in all the
years before, some of the eouncilmen have
been the targets of bitter attacks from the
voters Large sections of the electorate
claimed to have lost patience with, and
faith in, the council which the people of Key
West had elected
If that is true, and if the council has
failed in some places where it should have
succeeded, it also is true that in a sense the
general public has failed along with its
elected servants. For councilmen, remem-
Der, are but the representatives of the peo-
pie, and if the people are united in their
purpose, and make that purpose known,
then the councilmen, too, win be united.
BIT voters too often forgetthat. They.
seem to think they are eIecting miracle
men, and the result usually is disillusion-
ment They feel that councilman, once
hired should run the city smoothly,
while they, the voters. go about other bust
ness and forget it.
Consider this, as you go to the polls
Tuesday:
There are 25 men in this race for coun-
Gil. It is possible, and indeed probable,
that the seven men who finally take seats
on the council will not have had the pre-
election support of one half the people.
If the supporters of the losers, there
fore, decline to give their support to the
men who go in, the council of 1912 and 1943
will be representing only part of the cleo
-torate, and will be struggling against the
i'll will of the greater part.
So back your choice and pick the best
man you can, but resolve to give your whole
hearted support to the men who finally
are elected, regardless of who they are.
And in that way, Key West will have
a better city government.
