ment, there are now approximately
300 military, naval and industrial
areas in which roads and bridges
are of the utmost importance. 1t is
estimated that construction in these
areas will involve more than $500
miles of highway.
Congress attacked the problem of
defense highways in June with bills
simultaneously introduced in both
houses. Introduction of these mea-
sures followed receipt of message
from President Roosevelt recon-
mending appropriation of $125 ,000,-
900 for defense highway construc-
ton. Inadequacy of this sum for
present defense needs was clearly
demonstrated at congressional hear
ings On June 16. therefore. the
Senate passed a bill that authorizes
expenditure of s250,000,0 900 for de-
fense highway purposes.
Prompt Attention.
The Senate committee report on
this bill points out that -"such
sum would not be sufficient to ac-
complish all that would be done
during the continuance of the ma
tional emergency. 1t should, how
ever, serve to meet the immediate
needs which require prompt atten-
ton. 1t is obvious that defense ef-
forts must not be blocked by in
adequate road facilities" The House
is expected to pass similar meas
ure soon.
Construction of highway through
Canada to link the United States
with its outposts in Alaska also is
Washington and Ottawa. 1t is adj
vocated as strategic necessity both
for this country and the Dominion.
Military experts believe a land
connection between Seattle, Wash,
and Fairbanks. Alaska, $500 miles
away, is essential to supply air, sub
marine and naval bases in Alaska
Over this road could travel military
trucks bringing essential supplies of
food, clothing, ammunition, gaso-
line and oil to enlarged military and
naval forces. The defense highway
could also serve as the nucleus of an
expanded road system through the
territory, which might lead to the
future development of Alaska S
latent mineral, agricultural and
forest resources.
If the expenditure of millions of
dollars day is necessary to build
up great military force to pro-
tect the United States from attack,
it is equally imperative to modernize
: the arteries by which this force
can be quickly mobilized, transport
ed and kept supplied.
Roads are vital to a modern army.
Their inadequacy might easily cause
its defeat. America owes it to her
growing defense Army to provide
the roads that will make it most
effective in case the emergency for
which it was created materializes.

America needs the United States,

Court Aids
City Gas Fight
Times star Correspondent

WASHINGTON. March 4.-The
Supreme Court has given Detroit
helping hand in its fight to
secure lower gas rates in a de-
cision allowing the city to partici-
pate in nterstate pipeline
litigation.
The decision gives Detroit the
right to press antitrust proceed
ings against the Columbia Gas
and Electric Corporation. which
controls the Panhandle Eastern
Pipeline Company and the Michi-
gan Gas Transmission Company.
the pipeline firms which link De-
troit with the southwestern gas
fields.
The city has long contended
that if il could force its supplier
to increase the flow of gas to De-
troit it would expand the market
for industrial gas and so lower the
rates for household users.

PART-TIME JOB

Following this a woman arose
from the audience and asked:
Does Mr.. Voolfolk only
work for the Michigan CONSOLE
dated Gas Company on a part
time basis: II so, how much
time does he spend on this job"
Montgomery declined TO answer
this but promised that he would
ask Mr.. Voolfolk how he divided
his time and would report back at
meeting.
Council President Smith was
asked by a heckler why the adj
vent Of natural gas to Detroit in
1886 failed TO bring about any i'm
portant rate reductions.
Smith denied that he had ever
specifically promised a lower rate
and placed the blame for the
present rates on the company and
on the Michigan Public Service
Commission.
There Is not a single pro
public rate-finding body in the
United States in my opinion,
Smith declared.
He blamed the present rate
structure on the "inordinant greed
of the utility operators" and the
resultant "syphoning of profits
into a pyramid of holding COM
panies.'
His heckler. who ADMITTED that
he was once employed by the gas
company. declared that the deal
under which natural gas was
brought here in 1886 was so rot
ten that it Stinks."

CITY'S REPLY

To this the city answers:
'If the city's determination TO
end the long abuses inflicted by
the gas company Is causing
financial embarrassment TO Mr..
Voolfolk, the embarrassment
probably arises from the knowl-
edge In Wall Street financial
circles that Detroit has suffered
from a domineering gas utility

DSR RIDE COSTS

At the conclusion of an expla-
nation covering three typewriter
pages. Rodney Baxter, chief coun-
sci for the DSR. finally admitted
for Montgomery's benefit that the
average cost of a DSR ride had
increased from 5.35 cents in 1922
to 705 cents in 1910.
However. Baxter denounced the
question as unfair because the
1910 figure included the DSR mo-
torcoach fares and the 1922 figure
failed 10 include the high fares
charged for private motorcoach
transportation. jitneys and the
d. u. r. interurban operations.
Both questions and answers at
last nights session proved useful
to the participants as Springboards
from which to launch abusive and
eloquent speeches.

Town Meeting Widens Split
Between City, Gas Co.

The breach between city Off
Gals and gas company represen-
tatives over the conduct of the
"town meetings" widened today
after another session which failed
to produce clear-cut facts on the
question and answer basis.
Citizens speaking from the floor
continued to demand factual in
formation on which TO base their
decision at the April 7 election
when the municipal ownership
issue will be decided.
Apparently dissatisfied with the
answers which have been forth
coming from the gas company.
Council President John w. Smith
challenged William G.. Voolfolk,
president of the company, and
John w. Batten. vice president, TO
appear in person for questioning.
TO ATTEND MEETINGS
Henry A. Montgomery. attor-
ney for the gas company. prom
ised that Batten would appear at
the next meeting and that Wool
folk would appear as soon as he
has returned from an out-of-town
triD.
Detroit evening times. (Detroit, Mich) 1921-1958, 1941-03-04

At the same time Montgomery
denounced the town meetings as
a farce" and repeated his asser-
ton that the public was receiving
no enlightenment from them.
He charged that city officials
were attempting to throttle all
criticism of the municipal owner
ship proposal and were intimidat-
ing would-be questioners with a
show of police force and threats
of election.
In last nights question and
answer period Montgomery con-
tinued TO prod The DSR with ques-
tons about fares and past policies
and the city officials attempted TO
delve into Woolfolk's personal en-
richment through his holding COM
pany positions and his ownership
OF gas wells.

INTERRUPTED BY SONG

The best laugh of the evening
was produced when a Western
Union telegraph boy walked up
the aisle and sang a singing
birthday telegram" to Councilman
Henry S. Sweeny, the chairman of
the meeting.
In answer TO questions by the
city Montgomery denied that
Voolfolk had ever been in bust
ness with the late Samuel insult.
but admitted that Voolfolk had
headed an engineering service that
had some insult operating COM
panies for clients.
Montgomery defended the De-
trolt gas unit as a means Of meas
uring heat and denied that there
was anything new about measur-
ing gas in "therms."
In answer TO one OF the city's
questions about Woolfolk's holding
company income, Montgomery
listed the local gas company head
as receiving $4,000 from the
American Light and Traction
Company. S13.500 from the United
Light and Railways and $4,000
from the United Light and Power
Company.

p. J. M. Hally. attorney for
Elmer Buff" Ryan, centered his
attack upon former Inspector
Raymond w. Boettcher. principal
witness against Reading, and
Hally said, only witness against
Ryan.
"HOw CAN YOU BELIEVE"
'Boettcher admitted being q
liar and person who mouthed
falsehoods for 10 years. How
can you believe him when he
says, Now I'm telling the
TRUTH especially when he has

Boettcher, a self confessed
thief. failed to report money from
numbers and policy houses on his
income tax and is now trying to
place it in other hands than his
own, Hally SAID.
II was for this reason. Hally
said, that Boettcher claims to
have given Ryan 81 900 OF his COL
lections for undisclosed purposes.

position In the history Of juris-
