la policemen" In the development
of a nerve center for Scotland
Yard'a new war on crime.
With every bill sent to London
telephone subscribers goes a pam
phlet entitled, "Uae the Telephone
to Help the Police.' The telephone
users are asked to call Scotland
Yard'a Information department
whenever they observe suspicious
characters or circumstances.
Behind the "nerve center" scheme
is the plan of Lord Trenchard,
Scotland Yard's commissioner, to
make the hard lot of the criminal
in London even harder.
The public, according to the
plan, will cooperate directly wltn
Scotland Yard Instead of with the
local police stations.
The yard's Information depart
ment has the appearance of and
operates like the general head
quarters of an attacking army.
Large maps showing In detail every
part of London are laid out on
large tables. Brass weights of var
ious shapes designate police patrols
with flying squad cars and radio
equipped "Q" cars sprinkled every
where. Wooden miniatures show the ap
proximate positions of the police
launches on the Thames.
When news of a crime reaches
the information department the de
tails are flashed to every radio car
and within a few seconds the car
nearest the scene la racing toward
It. The patrolling cars are so dis
tributed that one always Is within
a minute or two of any part 01
London.

MEXICO CITY. (UP) The Panr
American highway, linking Laredo,
Tex., to Mexico City, 1b nearlng com
pletion. The department of communications
reports that work on the sierra be
tween Tamazunchale la scheduled to
tie flnlahed this month.
Bridges that remain to bo finished
re scheduled to be ready by April,
1036.
Unless something unexpected hap
pens. It Is the Intention of the gov
ernment officially to Inaugurate the
road In Mu, 1036.
Officially the road is not open now.
although It Is being dally used by
persons coming from various parts of
the United States to the capital in
their own cars. By having the road
officially "closed," the government
avoids any responsibility for delays or
discomforts which might be endured
ty tourists.
Engineers and motorists who have
made the trip In recent days told the
United Press correspondent that It
will require many months for the
gravel to settle. Landslides, they say,
re likely to occur for several years to
come In certain sections, but once
they fall, they can be rapidly cleared
away and should not Interrupt traf
fic High Speed Impossible
The looseness of the gravel makes
It Impossible to make much speed In
various sections. Nevertheless, there
are drivers who come through from
the border, 707 miles, In threo days,
and some in even 2 days.
Mexican officials here generally
deprecate reports that the road Is
complete, and that It Is smooth thru
out. Mexicans do not over-rate the
hlphway, so that anybody who suffers
several punctures en route, delays by
slides or In ferrying rivers, need not
complain of misinformation before
leaving home.
Some tourists have told the corre
spondent that they were unable to
find any good hotels en route except
at Monterrey and Victoria. Mexican
officials were asked if anything was
being done to remedy this condition,
and was informed that the govern
ment Is not doing anything directly,
but la giving all kinds of facilities
such as exemption from taxation to
any private concerns desiring to con
struct hotels not only along this road
but on any road which may be used
toy tourists.
Benefit Northenat Mexico
Mexico looks upon the construction
of the highway as a means of opening
up sections of the country In the
northeast which lacked good com
munications, and of further intensi
fying the already large current of
tourists from the United states.
The department of communications
and public works has done everything
possible to make the highway a first
class road. It has been praised by all
those who have been over It as a
monumental engineering feat.
In all the 122B kilometers (787
miles) from Laredo to Mexico City,
there are no grades of more than 6
percent, although peaks 10.000 fret
Jilfrh must be surmounted in some
places. No curves ore more than 28
det;ree. These specifications are the
name aa those prevailing In first class
mountain highways of the United
States.
United State Ambossndor Jiwephus
Daniels told the United Press that he
expect thoussnds of tourists from
a!l parts of the nation to motor to
Mexico nert summer.
"Americans are great travelers,
creclallv in the summer," he said.
'and I expect thousands of cara to
make use of the new highway.
Unfortunately, summer visitors will
encounter the rainy season, which
will make driving a little harder than
In the dry season (which extends
firm November to May). The road,
however, will be an nil-weather road,
and with good driving, la not consid
ered dan Re roil.
