lowing the steep coastline up the
island. At mid-morning we picked
up a radio message which, decoded,
told of heavy Japanese bombing OF
an oil terminal across the island.
At the next landing the village
magistrate said he had received the

Though the village was without
radio or wire communication, 1t re-

While flying only about 200 feet
above the sea we sighted an enemy
plane far to the rear, but escaped
detection by climbing quickly into
the clouds and flying blind for 80
minutes.
When we dipped down to see If all
was clear, rocket went up from the
island to indicate the enemy still
was about, so we ducked into the
clouds again until a second rocket
told us it was safe to land.
On aighting we learned that two
Japanese flights had been overhead
photographing and testing the anti
aircraft defenses. We enjoyed
good nights sleep in the home Of
a wealthy resident who had fed the
danger zone, and enjoyed a swim in
his shark-proof swimming pool.

endless rice fields. The natives fled
into the jungle as we hedge-hopped
over their straw huts, but several
water buffalo actually tried to
charge us.
Approaching the great city Of
Rangoon on the tip Of Ourma, we
picked up news Of a heavy raid

we saw the damaged docks, black

While we were refueling, the blast
Of nearby ships warned Of another

where we watched the American

nese finally reached their objective.
One bomber crashed with its full
load of explosives, causing terrific

DC, Retires From Role
As Convention City
In Wartime Policy
Greater Capitol Unit Of
Trode Board Discouroges
Large Gatherings

Washington is no longer a con-
vention city.
washington has voluntarily with
drawn from competition for con-
ventions so that the Governments
war effort will not be impaired, 3"
Russell Schneider, manager of the
Greater National Capita! Committee
of the Board of Trade, revealed to-
day.
Reasons assigned by Mr.. Schneider
for a lack Of conventions include
shortage of hotel facilities for large
affairs, desire not to be thought
unpatriotic by holding conventions
here when the Government does not
wish it, and the urging of other
convention cities"
The Government spoke in tine per-
son Of Leon Henderson, who last
August said that convention-holders
should find some other place besides
Washington. However, the Greater
National Capital Committee was
discouraging conventions of over 500
here before that time, according to
Mr.. Schneider.
IS Still on Schedule.
In August, $50 conventions were
on the schedule which the commit
tee keeps of future gatherings.
Seventy-flve Of these remain; Is
were Cancelled. This is about half
the usual number scheduled at this
time in previous years.
Most of the rs conventions COM
Ing up are small, but there are sew
eral large ones, including the D. A.
r. convention in April Tentatively
scheduled for Christmas week, when
hotels are invariably uncrowded,
ere the American Historical con-
vention u,500 expected) and the
Modern Language Association Q,80O
expected.
Recently Cancelled was the con-
vention of the American Academy
Of Orthopedic Surgeons. They moved
their convention place to Atlantic
City.
May Cancel Another.
The National Conference on
Weights and Measures may not hold
a 1912 meeting, originally scheduled
to have been held here, according
to DR.. Lyman J. Briggs, director of
the Bureau Of Standards and pres
ident OF the conference.
1t has not yet been decided
whether to cancel the meeting en-
tirely or to hold it in some other
city. Participation of the Bureau
OF Standards in a meeting outside
the District would be limited, DR..
Briggs pointed out, since defense
work at the bureau must take
precedence.
The Greater National CAPITAL
Committee is now accepting no more
conventions for its schedule, except
those Of military nature. The rs
now on the schedule-which con-
talns a convention of the General
Society Of the Cincinnati-are still
liable to cancellation, Mr.. Schneider
indicated, if the situation here be-
comes more acute.

New &-Mi|e Highway
To Safeguard Canal
Opened in Panama
Work Rushed to Complete
Loyine Of Concrete Before

Nv the AssnciatsS press

BY the Associated Press.
BALBOA, Canal Zone, Feb g.
A new Panama Canal safeguard has
been established In q 48-mile trans
isthmian highway. over which Army
machines can travel ocean-to-ocean
in two hours.
At places the route is only a one
way graded trail hacked through
dense tropical jungle, but Army
trucks traversed it for the first time
this week. demonstrating its avail
ability in any emergency involving
the vital canal and closely paral-
leling railway.
The highway adds a third and
well-separated route to the canal
and railway which hitherto were
the only avenues of heavy transport
across the Isthmus of Panama.
Plan to Lay Concrete.
Begun in December, 1910, as a
joint Canal Zone and Republic of
Panama enterprise. the highway
assumed enormous military signifi-
canoe after the United States and
Panama entered the war against the
Axis two months ago.
Canal defense authorities promptly
obtained permission of the United
States Public Roads Administration
to cleave trail across 7 miles
of jungle-covered hogback hills and
deep ravines-last portion Of a
right of way originally planned for
commercial traffic.
The Army engineers moved in and
after IA days of relentless labor con-
structed a trail over which Army
"jeeps" command cars) and peeps"
(quarter-ton bantams) can slosh
and powerhouse their way from At
lantic to Pacific or vice versa.
Now it becomes the job of the
Public Roads Administration, during
Panamas present dry season." to
lay a two-way 50-mile-an-hour con-
crete highway before arrival of the
"reiny season" which would speedily
reduce this strategic highway to the
jungle from which it was so recently
reclaimed.
Granted a full quota of dry
weather, the job will be done in
two months, John Hubbard, public
roads engineer in charge of the
project, predicts.
1,400 Men on Project.
The paving will cover a 27-mile
stretch from Atlantic Coast bases
to Madden Dam, there connecting
with an asphalt road which extends
to the Pacific Coast bases.

CALCUTTA, Feb. 6.-My three
day fight from a Sumatra village to
Calcutta got a jittery start in a
Dutch plane that made an unsched-
uled stop at about the same time the
jungle tom-toms beat an afraid
alarm.
Mountain spoilers said a japanese
plane had been sighted toward the
sea.
The planes crew fled to the pro-
lection of mangrove swamp, but
I was not greatly concerned after
having spent days on the Malaga
front.
I had been hustled aboard the
plane with two salvaged cameras
after explaining my predicament to
the crew. If they had not taken me
after landed from the ifeboat I
would have had to cross the island
on foot or gone to Batavia and tried
to reach Singapore from there.
Dodged japanese Planes.
The air trip developed into a con-
slant game Of hide and seek with
Japanese planes conducting extern
sive reconnaissance over Sumatra
and smaller islands of the west
coast.
Once we landed at an unimpor-
tant, undefended village where the
fires still were burning from q
bombing and machine cunning raid
earlier in the day. The pilot de-
cided it was too dangerous to spend
the night there, so continued on up
the Sumatra shoreline to sheltered
cove protected on three sides by
jungle-covered cliffs.
1t was a dangerous landing in
waters filled with coral rock, any
one of which could have ripped the
hull apart. We spent the night in
the plane, consuming canned ra-
tions and playing cards with the
aid of q shaded flashnght. We
feared to go ashore in the malarial
swamps.
