~ the H1SooShoIcu TioSHs
ANNAPOLIS, March %. - The
super-highWay bill, which would
authorize the State Roads Commits
sion to construct a new motorway
between Baltimore and Washington,
was pending in the House today.
The bill, passed by the Senate
late yesterday. authorizes the State
Roads Commission to arrange for
construction of super highway If
it is deemed advisable. 1t does not
make such construction mandatory
1t also provides that the present
Neutrality-suspicious. boulevard be
retained as free highway for those
who prefer to use it.
A number of amendments were
attached to the original bill by the
Senate Roads and Highway Com
mittee. The most important would
limit the interest on construction
bonds to 3l2 per cent and would
make the maximum term of the
bonds 20 years.
AS originally introduced, the bill
would have permitted top interest
of 512 per cent on the bonds and
would have set the term at 40 years.
Under terms of the bill, the Roads
Commission would be authorized to
issue bonds to pay for the construc-
tion of the highway and necessary
tunnels or bridges. The bonds
would be retired from funds COL
lected as tolls.
When bonds were retired by the
toll funds the highway would then
be made a. free road, to be main
tanned by the commission. Mainte-
nance would come out of regular
gasoline tax funds.

The conference program includes
discussion of efforts toward CO.
ordination of laws in the Americas
pertaining to immigration, patents
and copyrights, bankruptcy anc
other subjects of practical impor-
tance in inter-American trade re-
lations.

ference.
OF Interest to Businessmen.
In a discussion of the conference
program before leaving for Havana,
Mr.. Bishop emphasized the practi-
cal Importance to North American
businessmen of many subjects on
the agenda.
Laws relating to nationality,
aliens and immigration are of in
terest to United States concerns
doing business in Latin America,
he pointed out, because the de-
velopment of foreign trade and in
vestment requires the liberalization
of legislation to enable the perma-
nent residence for business purposes
Of citizens of the several republics
in the territories of Others"
Efforts to obtain uniform legal
protection for patents, trade names
and trademarks also are of vital
importance, he said, pointing out
that the basis of property rights in
. trademark in South American
countries is priority of registration
instead of priority of use as in the
United States.
The practicability of obtaining
eo-ordination of civil and CONNER
cial laws, such as those protecting
installment sales: revision of bank
ruptcy laws to prevent abuses in
some countries, and development
Of commercial arbitration proceed
nres are among other matters
scheduled for discussion.
The conference also will consider
pending projects for establishment
of an inter- American court of JUS
tice and for completion of ratifica-
tions of convention on eXtradi-
ton.
