Roosevelt and Hull
Urge Completion Of
Panama Highway
$4,000, 900 Project
To Central America
Held VitoI to Defense

A Completion of Pan-American
highway from the United States to
the Panama Canal would be author
lied under proposed legislation sent
to Capitol Hill today by President
Roosevelt and supported bpy recon-
mendations of Secretary of State
Hull.
Cost of completing the project, al
ready running slightly south of Mex.
leo City, and of which other Sec
tions also have been constructed, is
estimated at q maximum OF $20,-
100000.
This figure represents the portion
of the cost which would be borne by
the United States, it being specified
that other governments would pro-
vide up to one-third of the amount
needed. The legislation specifies
that the remaining work would be
done in cooperation with the gov
ernments of Costa Rica, El Salvador.
Guatemala, Honduras, Nicaragua
and Panama.
Value for Defense Cited.
Seven reasons are set forth in
Secretary Hull's report in support
of the project.
They are: Improved inter-Amer-
ican transportation, development of
new land and natural resources, in
creased employment and economic
benefits, increased tourist traffic, ex-
tension of markets for American
automotive equipment, great defense
value in improving transport to the
Panama Canal zone, and the fact
that most of the money for equip
ment would be spent inside the
United States.
With regard to the defense aspect,
the report states that improved
highway facilities would strengthen
defense against possible subsersive
activities within the countries ira
Verseo
Project Justified.
The conclusion has been
reached" the report said, that the
road cannot be completed within the
forseeable future without the as
sumption of substantial part of the
necessary expenditures by the Gov
eminent of the United States and
that the completion of the road is of
sucn interest to this Government
that such direct participation by 1t
is justified"
About 1850 miles of the highway
are yet to be completed.

BERLIN. May while gov
ernment Offices observed the May
Day holiday today the German
press continued the warnings with
which Berlin has been reverberat-
ing, that American ships entering
war zones would be inviting de-
struction by German torpedoes.
Indications that powerful in
f1uences in the United States are
in favor of introducing American
conveys to Britain or into war-zone
waters was becoming one of Berlin's
liveliest subjects of discussion.
The gist of the comment was that
Germany won't be scared out Of

Observers said the German war
zone was legally declared and it
exists as a military reality whether
or not America cares to recognize

Airline Presidents
Meet in Effort 10 Save
Planes From Military
Choked With Business,
Routes View Presidents
Survey PIon With Alarm

Summoned here hurriedly in con-
nection with President Roosevelt's
request for survey of airline equip
rlent with a view to possible transfer
OF air transport planes to the mill
tary services or to the British, presi-
dents of most of the domestic air
lines are in conference here today.
They seek to stave off the loss of
airliners, which they say cannot
be spared without seriously Gripping
the industry in the midst of a peak
defense traffic load.
Most of the airline heads arrived
in Washington yesterday and were
in secret conference with Secretary
of Commerce Jones and officials of
the Civil Aeronautics Authority and
the Civil Aeronautics Board.
Few Washington meetings have
been surrounded with more secrecy.
c. A. B. officials said they had been
refused permission to make any
statement concerning the meeting
and would not even confirm the fact
that it was being held. Airline rep
resentatives. however, said all air.
lines are represented at the confer
ences.
Increasing air traffic, large part
Of it in connection with the national
defense program, is overburdening
the domestic airlines, which are re-
porting the heaviest business In
their history. Some are unable to
handle existing traffic and, even
with every reserve airplane pro-
viding extra sections, are forced to
turn away business.
One airline operating out OF
Washington has broken all-time
traffic records four times in less
than a month and others are re-
porting all-time traffic peaks, Extra
sections are in operation every day
on key routes and one airline has
operated as many as six extra Sec
lions daily to and from Washington.
It Is understood the airline presl-
dents are presenting a unanimous
front against any curtallment OF
air transport either in the United
States or on American flag lines in
the American hemisphere. Curtail-
ment of American foreign flag air.
