Final Link Started
Of Highway Going

BY sILER FREEMAN

With the tire situation what
l. is and gasoline rationing just
around the corner. this would
seem a poor time to plan a trip
which would take you through
Mexico and then down to the
Panama Canal Zone, all by auto
mobile. But you can dream,
can't you?
That is why il is interesting
to note that arrangements have
been made TO start immediate
construction of the final links
Of the highway from the Mexi-
can border TO the Canal Zone.
1t will 60 through Guatemala.
FL Salvador, Nicaragua, Costa
Rica and Panama.
Surveying operations are al
ready under way and the entire
construction cost will be borne
by the United States. The new
roadway will join with existing
Mexican railways 10 provide a
co-ordinated truck and railroad
transportation service.

Oil Shipments
To Fast Decline

WASHINGTON. Oct. 20. - The
Office of Petroleum Co-ordinator
for war expressed concern as rail-
road tank car shipments of oil TO
the East Coast declined 10 776,410
barrels daily during the week
ended October 10. the lowest for
any week since July Is.
The decline was the third in a
row from the peak of $50, ITO bar
relS daily attained in the week Of
September 10. The drop averaged
2,514 barrels less per day than
during the preceding week.
although we are still hopeful
that we may be able to maintain
n daily average OF 100000 bar
reIs through the winter. Ii IL be-
coming increasingly evident that
the assignment will be a most
difficult one fof the oil industry
and railroads." Deputy Co-ordi-
nator Davies said. "a number Of
factors, including necessity Of
diverting tank cars for essential
military use as well as to other
special services are operating to
retard the movement Of oil to
the Atlantic seaboard, and may
be expected to continue to oper-
ate in that fashion. What the
result will be when there Is
added the factor Of winter
weather no one can predict"
he said.

When Washington turns TO

IFS production Of steel il isn't
news 10 those who know Julius
Clauss or the Great Lakes Steel
CORPORATION.
All too few realize that De-
troit has in its own back yard
a steel company which has set
the pace for mills the world
over.
The 13-year-old Great Lakes
Steel Corporation blew in the
worlds largest blast furnace
last year. Production records
are taken as a matter Of course,
and the company set the pace
for the industry again in con-
verting its 96-inch continuous
hot mill for manufacture of steel
plate for ornaments.
No small part of the credit
for these achievements should
