IIn Senate Report on
Inter-American Road
ev the Associated Press

! Senator Ferguson, Republican,
of Michigan advised American
tourists today to give up any
thoughts about motoring to Pan
anna, either now or within the
immediate foreseeable future"
The Michigan Senator offered this
word to vacationists as he filed with
the Senate critical 82-page report
on the wartime Inter-American
highway project compiled by the
Senate War Investigating Commit
tee.
The report found fault with War
and, State Departments, Army en-
gineers and the Public Roads Ad-
n,inistration in connection with the
plan to complete the highway link
ing the United States and the Pan.
anna Canal by way of Mexico and six
Central American republics.
Says Work Only Halt Done.
Senator Ferguson said the total
cost was to be $40, 100000 but that
Army engineers had spent more than
S36, ,000, 900 before work was halted
and it Is not yet half completed
The report estimated that compile
rion cost would be at least $780,
100000"
Among other faults, the commit
tee said the project was conceived
hastily and founded upon an ab-
sence of sound planning and resson-
ing"
1t reported excessive rentals" for
obstruction equipment and high
profits for contractors with Army
engineers and public roads officials
battling over where the highway
should be built.
In speech prepared for Senate
delivery. Senator Ferguson told how
he had to use automobiles, jeeps
and even sirplanes to follow the
route of the highway that was TO
have been rushed to completion by
May. 1s43.
Ont to Dispel Tourist Hopes
Having driven, myself, over Al.
most all of the passable portions
of this highway, and having flown
over the entire route, believe 1t
is nv duty to dispel any false no.
ton that one can get in his car
and drive from any point in the
United States 10 Panama City.
either now or within the foresee-
able future" Senator Ferguson said.
UNLESS some program for flnan-
cial support by all of the American
republics is developed" he con-
tinued, this highway will not be
built for many years to come, I'M
less it is done by grant Of United
States public funds"
Senator Ferguson said there are
long stretches on the proposed route
where there is no road at all, and
these stretches happen to be the
most difficult terrain through which
to build a road"

|hi|Iikin Urges Start
On Work Of Setting
'1949 Budget Ceiling
BY the Associated Pres.

Republican leaders today dis
cussed the possibility Of rubbing out
their failure to agree on q 194o
economy pledge by starting work
now on 1949 figure or repeating q
portion of the Congressional Reor-
ganization Act.
Chairman Millikin of the Senate
Republican Conference told a re-
porter he believes the Congress
sional Budget Committee either
ought to get e. full staff at work at
once on next years expenditure pro-
oosals or wipe out q section of the
oct that requires Congress TO fix q
limit on the budget.
Houses Fail to Agree.
The two houses have failed to
agree on any compromise since the
House voted q pledge to. cut Presi-
dent >Truman's $37 SOC, 900 budget by
$4,000, 100000 and the Senate de-
cided on a $4,5O0, ,00O,0 900 reduction.
With several appropriations bills
still pending, final savings have not
been tabulated but they may run less
than the Senate's lower figure.
Declaring that Congress had to
work in the dark in attempting to
arrive at an overall spending figure,
Senator Millikin said that unless a
staff starts work soon the lawmakers
will face the same sort of problem
next January.
Independent Check Urged.
"If we had competent staff the
first thing it ought to do is investi-
gate the work load of Federal de-
partments," the Colorado Senator
said. "It should not be too hard to
determine how many workers are
needed 10 clear q certain amount of
material through department, but
no otltside agency ever has made a
stuoy of it.
"As result. we have to take the
word of department heads about the
number Of people they need to do
the job in hand. i think some large
savings could be made on that
score"
The Republican economy move in
this session faces it's stiffest test in
the Senate this week, with action by
the full Appropriations Committee
on a s6,160, ,0o0, 900 Army supply bill
A. subcommittee last week increased
by about $500, ,0o0, 900 the amount the
House had allowed for operating
funds, offsettipg this in part by vot-
ing to cut off s439, 139 600 more than
the House in previous years sppro-
pristions.

t1ict all equally"
