Truman Ask Highways
To Link Americas

President Truman today met auto
mobile representatives from through
out the Western Hemisphere and
told them he was anxious to see
inter- highways from,
Alaska to southern South America.
The President met 125 delegates,
representing 19 countries, attend
ing the seventh annual General
Assembly of the Inter American
Federation of Automobile Clubs.
Mr.. Truman told the delegates
he wants to see people able toI
travel between countries. When
they cannot travel freely, misunder-
standings arise, he said.
Committee and commission meet
ings were held this morning by
delegates. At meeting Of the Pan
American Highway Commission. the
Argentine Auto Club advanced a.
proposal for Standardization OF
highway signs and signals through
out the hemisphere.
Yesterday the delegates heard
Senator Brewster. Republican, of
Maine outline a program to promote
foreign travel by United States cltl-
zens, while their wives met Mrs |
Truman at a Carlton Hotel luncheon. |
Seen as Trade Boon.
The Senator said he thought en-
couragenent of travel by all coun-
tries would promote trade, economic
iot n
cultural and scientific achievements.
Indeed, l believe that travel can
provide a possible alternative for |
large part of the billions of dollars
poured into loans and gifts Senator
Brewster declared AT the same !
time, travel dollars can serve to
balance our export and import
trade"
He recommended these steps in
proposed program of travel legisla-
ton which, he said, he hoped the
United States Congress would "see
fit to enact:
/. Raise the exemption on per-
sonal purchases by American tour
lists returning to the country from
500 to at least 5000. perhaps as
high as $500. American dollars
spent abroad could be used to
finance imports of American goods, |
he pointed out.
Would Drop Tax.
q Eliminate the IS per cent tax
on transportation fares for foreign
travel from Canada and Latin
American countries 10 which it still
applies.
g. Adopt an inter- American travel
card, as recommended by the Ameri-
can Automobile Association, to re-
place passports and visas for tourist
and business visits of less than six
months within the Western Hemi-
sphere.
4. Establish a Federal interde-
partmental committee or central
agency to coordinate the activities
of five Government departments
that now share jurisdiction over
foreign travel.
Senator Brewster said he hoped
the legislative authorities of all
countries in the Western Hemi-
sphere would join the United States
in establishing free and unhampered
travel.
The luncheon for wives of the
foreign delegates yesterday was
sponsored by the Women's Safety
Committee of the District division
of the American Automobile Asso-
citation. Mrs. George c.. Thorpe,
chairman, acted as hostess.
