Americas Good Neighbor Road

One year from today. on the 45oth
anniversary of the discovery of America,
the Pan-American highway will be Of
ficially opened. At least, that's the Sc
rious intent of a resolution passed by
the Fourth Pan-American Highway
Congress that met in Mexico City in
September Of course, to those U. S.
highway engineers who know the con-
struction problems and hazards of the
country in which lie the roads un-
completed stretches, the opening Of
this road as a complete unit is next
to the impossible. Congress delegates
themselves pointed out that certain
sections of the highway could not be
finished by that time. But the sug-
gestion by Argentina that a definite
dedication date be set was approved
by the congress. Argentina, you know,
has been talking up great plans for an
automobile race from Buenos Aires to
a central point in Colombia in 1912 to
punctuate the next celebration of the
day of the race" or the discovery of
these shores by Columbus. And thus
the motorist can now begin to see the
day when driving from Alaska to Ar
gentina over good, all-weather roads
will be a reality.
This prompts us to take look at
the urogress story of the road across
the hemisphere. When the dream OF

most powerful ship of her time.
The collision between the States in
1861 precipitated the merits of various
ordnance design into the white heat Of
open test.
For 10 years the American naval Off
Ger, John A. Dahlgren, had been devel-
oping a gun, bearing his name, which
was to give signal service for the Federal
Navy in the approaching conflict. 1t was
made of cast iron and weighed $4,000
pounds. The bore was 1872 inches in
length with a maximum diameter of 80
inches and it fired a solid shot weighing
ITO pounds to distance of about miles
BY 1910, 50-caliber, 12-inch guns we're
completed and 1914 saw the installation
of guns of IS caliber in the Texas and
the New York. The year 1916 gave prom
ise of new North Carolina with two
sister ships, to carry 16-inch, 50-caIber
guns. The Washington Limitation of
Armaments Conference annulled this
project but the 16-inch Maryland, Colo
rado and West Virginia were soon to
follow.
AS splendid fighting ship as she Is,
the new North Carolina paradoxically
is already obsolescent Beyond are the
mighty Iowa and her sisters, and dimly
perceived are the ships nearly as revolu-
tionary as the North Carolina would
appear to Capt. Isaac Hull.

grandfather, Secretary Delano, that tn
writer is quoting.
The report begins with a summarize
ton of the activities of the Sons OF
Liberty" saying of 1t, Its organization
was essentially military-it has its COM
manders of divisions, of brigades, of regi-
ments, or companies. In the month of
June last, the universal feeling among
its members, leaders and privates was
that 1t was useless to hold presidential
election; Lincoln had the power and
would certainly re-elect himself, and
there was no hope but in force. The
belief was entertained and freely ex-
pressed that by bold, vigorous and con-
certed movement the three great North
western States of Illinois, Indiana and
Ohio could be seized and held. This be-
ing done, the States of Kentucky and
Missouri could easily be lifted from their
PROSTATE condition and placed on their
feet, and this in so days would end the
war;"
July 20, 1864, was fixed as the
day for a movement" but this was post
poned, and of the postponement the re-
port says it was insisted upon the
ground that it was necessary to have a
series of public meetings to prepare the
public mind, and appointments for pub
lie peace meetings were made, one at
Peoria, one at Springfield and one at
Chicago on the 18th. The first one was
at Peoria, and to make 1t success I
agreed that so much money as was
necessary would pe furnished by me.
1t was held and was decided success.
The vast multitudes who attended
seemed to be swayed but by one leading
idea-peace." The Springfield movement
came off as did the one at Chicago, but

North Carolina.
Capt. Isaac Hull would be bewildered
if he could return from the Valhalla of
naval heroes to compare his Constitu-
ton with the North Carolina. The con-
trasts between the ships are amazing
The old seaman would have been
proud of the North Carolina on her
recent trial. Nine 16-inch shells flashed
from the flaming mouths of the great
ships main battery. For the first time
an American ship demonstrated its
ability to discharge, in salvo, $4,000
pounds of piercing shells with
push-button ease and sustain the shock
Of firing without structural damage.
The captain would have looked vainly
for targets, because some II seconds
after their discharge the shells were
plunging into the ocean beyond the
horizon, spouting geysers of water 100
feet into the air. Indeed, unless the
target is a fixed objective, ranges at
great distances are fixed by airplane
spotting.

fired at an unseen enemy. They had to

tic shape Is years ago, few people took
it seriously. In 1925, construction be-
gan on the link between Pachuca, near
Mexico City, and Nuevo Laredo, across
the Rio Grande border from Laredo,
Tex. The road south from Mexico City
to Puebla was also started. In charge
was United States highway engineer,
Charles M. Upham, now engineer -direc-
tor of the American Road Builders As
sociation, Washington. He had been
named consulting engineer by the Mexi-
can government.
Besides Mr.. Upham. only few en-
gineers and laborers and a lone Mexi-
can tinware peddler were on hand for
the dubious event. when the first ground
was broken. But, when the road was
opened in 1896, thousands attended the
dedication ceremonies and representa-
tives of the presidents of both nations
took part. The road was started in
1925, but the inspiration for the Pam
American highway resulted from a
meeting of group of Latin American
engineers in Washington the year be-
fore.
The Pan-American highway begins at
Nuevo Laredo, Mexico, proceeds 5000
miles to the Panama Canal and then
extends 5000 miles to Buenos Aires,
Argentina. There it turns north for
1900 miles to Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. 1t

Better Visibility for Pilots

Fighter pilots, bombardiers and gun
ners In the comet-swift warplanes Of
today must either see first or be seen
through the merciless sights Of machine
gun batteries and aerial cannon.
The possibility that they will be
blasted from the sky by enemy action
is increased by any distortion of vision
or obstruction in the transparent
Enclosures which now protect them
from bullets and shell fragments as
well as from the hurricane blast Of
air attending speeds up to 400 miles
an hour.
Thus any improvement in the
transparent material inclosing cock
pits, bomber noses and gun turrets is
of vital Importance in combat, and
American chemists and engineers have
been working under pressure since the
war began to perfect the best possible
product to meet exacting requirements.
Designers of the Lockheed P-38, said
to be one of the worlds fastest inter-
ceptor- pursuit planes, have produced
cockpit almost completely inclosed with
a plastic newly improved and affording
as nearly perfect visibility, the designers
say, as that Of any plane flying today.
The material was developed by chemists
of Philadelphia manufacturer after
nearly 40 years of research and expert
mentation
The plastic, it was said, is coming into
wide use for military aircraft of many
types. 1t is said to weigh half as much
as glass and to replace much thicker
and heavily laminated glass while re-
tanning the latter's rigidity and breakage
resistance.
The plastic can be formed into in
Vulnerable shapes when heated to 222
degrees Fahrenheit, softening point
high enough to hold the shape under the
hottest sun, yet low enough to permit
convenient modelling. A glance at the
eggshell shape of the P-38 cockpit in
closure shows how the plastic can be
shaped into stream-lined forms.
The material is said to be more trans
parent than glass; due to the perfection
of the surface and the clarity of the
plastic, and transmits every color Of the
spectrum.

Civil War Subversivism Traced

Read what the Confederate agent
says: THE vigilance of the administra-
ton, it's large detective force, the large
bounties paid for treachery and the re-
spectacle men who have yielded to the
temptation, added to the large military
force stationed in those States, make
organization and preparation almost an
impossibility. A large sum of money
has been expended in fostering and
furthering these operations and it now
seems to have been to little profit. But
in reviewing the past do not see how
it could have been avoided, nor has 1t
been spent altogether in vain. The ap-
prehensions of the enemy have caused
him to bring back and keep from the
field in 'front.' at least, $4,000 to watch
and browbeat the people at home. In
this view of the subject, the same amount
of money has effected so much, in no
other quarter, since the commencement
Of the war;
In Civil War days Lincoln was a
"tyrant and usurper," as the report terms
him, now 1t is Roosevelt whom some
people call a dictator. Other activities
in addition to those of the Sons of
Liberty" are detailed in the report and
not least in Importance is the state
ment that the Confederate government
had placed at the disposal Of its agent
$500 000 in p0ld IN finance his activities
Other countries have done the same
things in the past and, since history re-
peats, is it unreasonable to believe that
similar subversive activities may be oc-
curing now-right here in America?
Would it not be well, if the information
is available or can be obtained, for the
American people to be fully informed as
to the sources from which such activities
are being financed?
Evening star., 1941-10-12
By Eleanor Delano Shealey.

On August 10, President Roosevelt, at
his press conference, quoted from re-
marks of President Lincoln to certain
visitors from Illinois in 1861, to the
effect that the war (the Civil War;
would only be won by hard, tough fight
ing. On the evening of August 10, Ad-
miral Byrd said over the radio that
Germany is seeking to divide us, and
September Attorney General Blddle
invited criticism or suggestions as to
policies from our citizens. This back
ground brings to mind subversive activi-
ties of Civil War days seeking to destroy
the Union, what President Lincoln and
his administration did to thwart those
activities or check them, and what might
be done today. The Confederate State
papers furnish the parallel and supply
the answer
The Confederate State papers were
purchased in 1872 by Columbus Delano,
a Lincoln leader and delegate to the Re-
publican conventions at Chicago in 1860
and at Baltimore in 1864, jointly with
Senator Zachary Chandler OF Michigan,
who succeeded Mr.. Delano as Secre-
tary Of the Interior in President Grants
cabinet. These papers are now in the
Congressional Library, but at the time
Of their purchase or before, two photo
graphic copies we're made, one of them,
a report by the Confederate secret agent
at Toronto, jeff Thompson, to the Con-
federate Secretary of State, Judah P.
Benjamin The report is dated decem-
ber 3, 1864, and is initiated as having
been received by the Confederate Secre-
tary of State February 13, 1865 One of
the Photographic copies was retained by
Secretary Delano and the other was given
10 President Hayes. It is from the copy
that was in the possession Of the writer
