Developed Railroads
In Latin America
BY the Asseeiaied Press

NEW YORK, Aug. 5.-Percival
Farquhar. 88, internationally
known f1nancier, died yesterday
at the Hospital for Special Sur
gerry.
Mr.. Farquhar. a native of
York, Pa. was best known for
his development of railroads in
Latin American countries.
In 1900 he headed a group
which built the Cuba Railroad.
In 1903 he organized the Guate-
mala Railroad and acquired
other lines.
Unified Utilities.
Later, Mr.. Farquhar went to
Brazil, where, with associates, he
consolidated Rio de Janeiro's gas,
electric and telephone COM
panies, tramways and other
utilities into a public service
system.
Soon the interior of Brazil
began to attract Mr.. Farquhar'S
interest and he sold his utility
holdings to develop railways
there. In 1906 he founded the
Brazil Railway Co., which
acquired 38 subsidiaries includ-
ing what was said to be the
worlds largest chain of cattle
ranches.
When World War I cut off the
flow of European capital and
markets. Mr.. Farquhar'S busi-
ness collapsed and he went into
bankruptcy.
He returned to New York and
organized the International
Products Co. to deal in hides.
meat and other products in
Paraguay.
Invited Back to Brazil.
In 1919 President-elect Epi-
tacio Pessoa invited him back to
Brazil to undertake the develop
ment of a mountain of iron ore
at Itabira in the state of MinaS
GeTd1S.
When the State Legislature
blocked plans for the construc-
ton of a smelter, Mr.. Farquhar
established a smelter at Itabira
with the backing of United
States and Brazilian technicians.
Brazil awarded Mr.. Farquhar
the highest decoration it confers
on foreigners, the Order of the
Southern Cross, for his major
role in every phrase of the ma
tion's economic progress since
1906"
Surviving are his widow
Cathya, three sons, George, DON
aid and Gordon, and a brother,

Such certificates are required
before an airline can operate a

Mr.. Harvey apparently was
speaking of the Comet Mark III,
a 56-passenger transatlantic
plane still in the development
stage.
Several American airlineS re-

orders for the Mark III which is
expected to be in production by

that no certificate could be

IT feel I still need bit of
training here" Miss Chadwick
said. But I should be in top

Williams Goes Back Is Years
To Revive Baseball Dream
By Bill Fuchs

Ted Williams is having the
same dream all over again. He
wants to be the best hitter in
baseball once again.
And the former Red Sox bat
ting star who has just returned
from duty as Marine jet pilot
in Korea is just as insure about
the dream coming true this time
as he was years ago in San Di-
ego.
Even when I was in grammar
school," Williams said yesterday
before boarding a train for Gin
cinnati and today's All-Star
game, II dreamed of being a
good hitter - the best. It's all
I thought Of"
Ted, who has been assigned to
the Bethesda Naval Hospital for
treatment for an ear ailment,
was the leading batter at Herbert
Hoover High School in San
Diego. But he still doesn't think
he was the best hitter there.
Envied Roy Engle.
II wanted to be the best" he
says. I've always wanted to be
the best. But there was a catcher
on that team - big. rugged
boy who always hit that ball
hard. I was tall, skinny kid,
then, and envied him because
of the way he could hit"
That catcher was Roy Engle,
who later starred in football at
the University of Southern Cali
fornia. Engle now is a high
school coach.
So, in a sense, Williams is back
where he was Is years ago when
the Red Sox signed him to q
contract and assigned him first
to San Diego and then to Mime
apolis. He came up in 1899 to
Boston and was dubbed 1.-The
Kid" because of the handsome,
boyish face he still wears at "a.
But then he had a lifetime" Of
baseball in front of him. Now
he has just a few years at most
and is very insure of his ability
to become a top-f1ight batter
again, despite the fact he never
nit under .317 in his 10 seasons
with Boston.

Williams is suffering from an

which, he says. is not entirely

Between now and the time he
is discharged the Marine captain

he left off.
That would be April %, 1852.
