Long-Dreamed Road From Rio Grande to Panama Canal Advanced by Defi nite Plan Take 3 Years PANAMA CITY (UP) Tba long-drenmed-of Intr-Amerlcsa highway from the Bio Grande to tha Panama Canal appeared nearer realization to day aa a definite acheme for con structlou by Central America "on lu own" took ahape. Assured that sentiment from Pan ama to Mexico la unanlmoua behind a plan to build a toll road by an In ternational highway corporation. Nel son Hounacvell, publisher of tbe dally Panama American, predicted actual construction would begin within a few months, and the 3216' mile project completed within three jeors. Where the project has languished under a decade of United States sponsorship. Rounsevell finds the even republics below the Rio Orande ready to Join In a cooperative effort to carry It out on their own re' sources, with the Yankee colossue onttrelY eliminated. During a recent 30-day airplane trip to Mexico City. Bounsevell dis cussed the plan with officials In seven capitals. Only final touching up remalna to be done, and next month, the Panama publisher plana again to traverse the route, in prepa ration for a conference at oan oai vador In March. Various plana to finance the pro jectfrom gasoline taxes, to oul rlgnt appropriations have kept the acheme In a blue print stage, due In great part to Central American aeusltlveness to any suggestion of Yankee domination. Vhe present plan cleverly makea the most of this in herent suspicion and prejudice, and turns an obstacle Into a force to unite the Interested countries. Shy ing at the allghtest trace of depend ence, Central America is ready to do It independently, and ''enow" the United States. Seven Countries Represented. The scheme, for which enthuslesm la gaining, envisages the formation of a glgantlo corporation whose In vestment would be amortized by tolls, set at a rate sufficient per mile to pay lor Interest and upkeep. Com mon or voting Block would be held by seven directors, representing each government with equal voices. The corporation would enter Into uni form contract with the government for concessions to build, maintain and operate a toll road from the Texas border to the canal. The tolls would cover construc tion ooets, maintenance, administra tion and Interest at not to exceed four por cent of the estimated cost of S50.000.000. Rounsevell believes amortisation would be complete, In 40 years. The corporation would Issue bonds, backed by the Integrity and legal re sponsibility of the seven govern ments, and forming a lien on the toll Income of the body. These bonds would be exchanged gradually for payment for exlaUng llnka In the project, cost of materlale. etc. Expect Approval. Rounsevell' expects official approval by April, and actual beginning of work soon thereafter, possibly In May. He bases his optimism on the response he has already found throughout Nicaragua, Cost Rica. Honduras, Guatemala and Salvador. P eacnt status of roads varies wldoly. and all countries are greed only a co-operative organisation can speed up construction. The easy financing apparently solved the chief difficulty, end the Idea. Kounaevell points out, 1 capa ble of extension to South America for the eventual 13.000-mlle high way connecting Alaska with Argen tina. Actual construction would be nec essary only from Mexico City south, as the section from Nuevo Laredo to the Moxloan capital Is practically completed. Construction Is advanc ing southward, and within two years should reach Aurora, Mexico. Com pletion of the Mexican section in volves 1728 miles, more than half of the complete crescent highway.

Mexico Is considered the logical leader for the project, because of Its ability to supply so many required products; because of Its established prestige and Influence throughout Central America, and because it itsr.rts to gain In markets opened UP-1 The highway has many miles of roAdwav ready to ne iorgei mw links especially In Guatemala and i ,nilima' 7'" "tt' -- " lert io vnemseives nuani nera tw vears. so little has been done.

Panama has 375 miles of all weather road finished out of a total of 367 miles. Nicaragua and Costa Rica have comparatively long and difficult stretches 314 and S.MJ miles respec tively. It Is hoped to change the ruiitlng laid out by the U. S. Bureau of Public Roads of the Department of Agriculture, and this might lengthen the Nlcaraguen atratch and the 87 4 miles In Honduras.

Motor transit serous the canal has grown more than 260 per cent alnce 1031, as Panama haa extended Its highway construction. In 1031 approximately 0000 automobiles crowd each month or 200 dally. This year the monthly average wan 16,100 or 63S dally. There are approximately 6800 auto mobiles, busses, taxlcaba and trucks In Panama, and more than 300 In the Canal Zone. Extension of the highway to other Central American countries and to Mexico would be ex pected to odd a tremendous Impetus to pleasure and business travel, at a nominal charge per mile. Estimates place the tolls at afi.OOO,- 000 a year, sufficient to distribute $600,000 for amortization and leav ing 2. 000 ,000 for administration and upkeep. The motorist would be able to hop Into bis car and drive for a neigh borly visit or for business to any capital In Central America, or to Mexico City. Prom the main arterial roadway would branch lateral roads In a network to smaller towns. The traveler would see not a single U. 8. Marine to disturb his progress. In stead there would be International police, employed by the corporation, to eupervlse traffic. The highway would belong to the govern mrnta, through their equal control of the directors of the cor poration. The public would be paying for It as It Is used. Its own police would remove any responsibility the United State would otherwise have to patrol the highway, and Central America would have no fears of being merely an extension of the Canal Zone, subject to the "Colossus del Norte."

Student Back Plea SALEM, Ore., Jan. 24. (AP) Two bearings on two separate piece of proposed legislation Introduced to the Oregon legislature attracted wide spread attention and filled the bouse of representatives chamber to over flowing Wednesday. Proponents and opponents of Sena tor Peter Zimmerman's bill, the first Introduced Into the upper houso. providing for the repeal of the crimi nal syndicalism law, were given two hours last night before the commit' tee on revision of laws to state the respective sides of the case. In defending bla measure, Zim merman declared the criminal syn dicalism law was the result of the world war, a law brought on by hys teria and fear, and un-American be cause It restricted the right of free speech. Grange Chief for Repeal Zimmerman was followed by Ste phen D. Kahn, University of Oregon student; Boy R. Hewitt, Salem attor ney; Ray QUI, State Orange master, and H. M. Easterly of Portland, all of whom backed up the senator's stand on repeal of the law. Tom Mahoney, Portland Legion naire, opened the arguments for op ponents of the bill, stating that "only communists have been hurt by the operations of this act." The law does not reatrlan the expression of po litical views or prevent advocating change. The only thing the law does Is to restrain the expression of opin ion calling for the overthrow of our government by force." Mahoney was followed In order by Tom Kerrigan. Portland: R. Van Hoo mlaon of Portland, and Ray Bassett or Salem. Bassett said he believed Senator Zimmerman would think dif ferently on his proposal If some farm workers on hla place would advocate destruction of his machinery because they disliked condition of their em ployment. Debate School t'nlt Bill Opponents and proponents of house bill No. 4, on the administration measures known as the county unit school system bill, related their opinion of the respective merits and faults of the measure, before the house tad uea t Ion committee earlier tn the day. Both sides of the question were al lowed 45 minutes In which to state their case. Representatives from those counties which already have adopted the county unit system spoke In favor of the measure, listing fig ures to show reductions In warrant Indebtedness, per capita yearly costs and greater efficiency. Opponents of the measure, lnclud lng Ray Gill, objected to the county unit system on the grounds that It would virtually set up a "dictator ship, that too much power would be vested In the unit board of five members, and that It would "destroy the greatest democracy In the world." It waa pointed out that, although for the present the counties could vote on the adoption of the system for the counties by gaining 100 slg natures on a petltton, If the bill was passed, the system "would be forced down their thoats," without the pos sibility of voting it out except by obtaining signatures of 20 per cent of the voters In the county.

OPPOSED TO LIMITED' POWERS FOREIGN AFFAIRS Proposal That Two-Thirds Senate Vote Be Required On World Court Proposi tions Meets Disfavor WASHINGTON. Jan. 34. (ff Flit opposition to the proposal of Senator Norm R Neb.) that a two-thirds senate vote be required on any propo sition affecting this country to be submitted to the world court, waa ex pressed today by President Roosevelt. At his press conference- the Presi dent said he regarded the proposal aa a definite limitation of the con stitutional prerogatives of the Presi dent. As for other proposed reservation to the world court pending In the senate, the President offered no com ment. He eald the constitution placed the conduct of foreign affairs entirely In the hands of the chief executive, with two limitations. One requires that when a. foreign settlement Is entered Into Involving appropriation of money It muat be passed upon by both branches of con gress. The other requires two-thirds approval of any treaty entered Into with another country. SKA Bill Tentative.
