Grandma Tests
Great Highway
Adventurous MotoristF F inds
Pan-American Road
Is Practical.

LIMA, PERU.-Mrs. A. S. Hen
ley, 58-year-old grandmother from
Glendale, Calf, has proved to the
world at large that the Pan-Amer-
lean highway, connecting the Unit
ed States and Argentina, is some
thing more than charts in govern
ment Offices, or mule trails through
jungIes and over mountains.
Nearly a year ago Mrs. Henley
started driving from Rio de Janeiro
on a pleasure trip. Today, after
having explored much Of Brazil,
Uruguay, Argentina, Chile, Bolivia
and Peru, she figures she still has
ahead of her four months Of driving
through Ecuador, Colombia, Vene-
zuela, parts of Central America, and
Mexico before reaching home.
The adventurous Californian, who
learned how to drive when she was
43, and who never has been east
Of the Mississippi in her own coun-
try, has become quite a booster for
the highway. The idea Of using
her trip to advertise the highway
was first put to her by United States
Ambassador Claude G. Bowers in
Chile. Since that time she has
spoken in public and over the radio,
written for newspapers, and, in gen.
eral, become one of the hemisphere
roads leading promoters.
Highway Practical.
Current opinion maligns the
highway" she says with some heat.
''The general impression is that it
is very difficult. We are finding
that it is not difficult, but very prac-
tical especially if you stick to
the highway"
Mrs. Henley can proudly claim
that she knows South America bet
ter than most South Americans do.
She has rounded the Horn" by
automobile, taking side trip to
the worlds southernmost settle
ment of Aushuaia, Argentina, far
below the Straits Of Magellan. She
has crossed the 15,805-foot summit
of the worlds highest highway near
Ticlio, Peru, on the way to Lima.
She has motored through the flow
ering Brazilian tropics, across the
rolling cattle plains OF Uruguay,
through the heart Of the Chilean
lake country, and over the wild Bo-
livian Andes"
No Flat Tires.
So far, Mrs. Henley estimates
that her 1910 American station
wagon has covered about 10000
miles Of South American roads. In
all that distance she has had no
punctured tires, although she had
two punctures driving from her
home in Glendale to New Orleans
where she boarded ship for Rio.
She has had no motor trouble and
no accidents. She had a new set Of
larger tires put on her car to raise
it higher of the road, and had the
brakes refined twice.
Since Santiago she has done all
the driving. The only time her
nerves fail her is when she reaches
large city. She then moves over
and lets Hector Burr, her travelling
companion, take the wheel
She said the trip so far has been
neither unduly expensive, nor dam

Motor Trouble
 Forces Two Army Transports Down

BIG DELTA, Alaska, (P)-Two planes carrying army personnel and equipment used in Alaskan maneuvers of the 2nd infantry di- vision have been forced down by motor trouble without injury to occupants or damage to the craft, army officials announced here yes terday.
 Faulty carbureatiOn was respOn- sible for a forced landing last Fri day at NorthWay, of a C-82 packet ship carrying fl soldiers and a four-man crew.
 It. Col. Roy E. Moore, an ob- server with the Fort Lewis troops engaged in the maneuvers, said the first warning of danger came with the ringing of an emergency bell, exhaust flashes from a fal- tering engine and a rapid loss of ] altitude.
 Soldiers who had experienced great difficulty during practice donning of parachutes were all ready to jump within 20 seconds after the pilots order to prepare to jump had echoed through the ship" Colonel Moore said Lieut.. R. A. Keller, of Tacoma, the plane pilot, safely landed the big flying boxcar" within four minutes, however, realizing that parachute jump would be danger ous in the frigid, uninhabited country.
 Troops aboard the plane have been transported to Big Delta in a relief plane.

Congress Wants Information On
 Greek Situation

WASHINGTON, (P) - Official Greek secrecy over the number of casualties in the campaign against Communicated guerrillas drew the ire of Senators yesterday.
 The refusal of the Athens gov ernment to provide casualty lists to members of the appropriations committee who toured Europe last fall was cited by some of the law makers as indicating there has been little real fighting.
 They said the 125,000-man Greek army compares with about 15.000 guerrillas.
 This was one aspect of the Sen ators' findings which may touch off fireworks when the appropria- tions group is called upon to vote funds to finance long range for eign aid.
 Committee members told a re- porter that, in addition to further information on the anti-Commun- ist fighting in Greece, they want

One Or Two Atom Bombs Could Grip ple Pacific Fleet

WASHINGTON, (P) A House m d services subcommittee said today that one or two atom bombs dropped in the San Francis co Bay area probably would be enough to "cripple, and perhaps fatally, all American activities in the Pacific"
 Referring to the location "virtu- ally side by side' of the army and navy supply bases in Oakland, the marine corps supply depot in San Francisco, the naval shipyard at Hunters Point and the navy air base at Alameda, the group said:
 We believe atomic weapons could destroy them all, and fur thermore, they are so constructed that modern weapons could easily be able to reduce them to rubble." '"
 The subcommittee, which in spected the area last September, said the armed forces should con- sider relocating the supply cen ters and eliminating duplicate fla cilities.
 The report said subcommittee members "surmised that consid- erations of economy now are gov erning-to perhaps too great an Continued on Page Six)
