L ' -si National Development Plan Indicated By Inspection Trip Of Officials Due In ' Medford This Week-End. Promulgation of ft national policy of airway and airport development la a major objective of the group of WPA and department of oommerce official coming here to Inspect the ' municipal airport Saturday, It U In d lea ted in preaa release from the army air corps. The air corpa haa provided the group with an army transport plane to enable the official "to make a 31 day flying Inspection trip for the pur pose of studying the work already acompllahed In the WPA airport pro gram and to consider future avia tion nerds In order to determine what la still necessary to be accomplished toward the development of a national program of airways and airport Im provement," the press release stated The Inspection tour appears to bear out the general contention of avi ation Interests that if airways and airports are to keep pace with air craft progress, the federal govern ment will have to shoulder the major part of the responsibility. Cities and private Interests are not financially able to carry out the ground dovel opment necessary to keep pace with the svlft evolution In aircraft, avt atlon Interests have maintained for some time. The federal government must help materially, It Is their con tention. Air Progress rast. Aircraft progress has been so rapid that ground facilities have lagged behind In many Instances, It la gen erally agTeed. This la said to be particularly true of airports, though control machinery along the airways has not always kept pace with prog ress in the air. As aircraft become larger and larger . and speedier and speedier, change must be made along the air ways and at the airports, aviation experts point out. Runways must be made longer and wider, more spa cious hangars are required, additional lighting must be provided and com munications systems must be expand ed, they emphasize. These developments are too ex tensive for municipalities and private companies to finance alone and so federal aid must be provided, It U declared. Military Use Seen. It Is pointed out that the nation has much at stake In these devel opments from a national defense point of view. All existing airports are needed for army and navy use and the private and municipal fields are required to round out a complete system of facilities for military use, aviation observers stress. In the case of Medford. the city has a large Investment In Its air port and although work has been done on the field almoat continuous ly, additional Improvements are re quired to handle the large transport planes now In use, It Is related. It Is too much to expect the city to shoul der the burden of Improvement alone, even If funds were available for such a purpose, It Is argued. It Is believed therefore that the group of officials to visit here Saturday will lend a sympathetic ar to Medford'a needs and It la held likely that additional federal aid will be granted. It Is pointed out that Medford has a strategic airport for not only pri vate and commercial planes but more especially for army and navy craft. It la the only developed airport be tween Portland and the Ban Francisco bay region and sometimes provides the only safe landing place between thorn two points. Fog Hits Portland. Fog not Infrequently blots out Portland ao that United Air Lines planes must fly over the city and make the run from Seattle to Med ford, shuttling Portland passengers bark from here In smaller planes Army and navy planes also are brought down here every once In a while be cause of fog at other ports to the north or south. Only last week-end several northbound army and navy planes were grounded here because of foul weather to the north. The group coming here Saturday Is headed by Corrlngton GUI. assistant WPA administrator In Washington. D. C. and Includes Col. Bumpter Smith. WPA aeronautical engineer: Howard Rough, assistant director uf the bureau of air commerce, and A B. MeMullen, chief of the airport sec tion, bureau of air commerce. The officials, making a nation wide tour, will Inspect the work al ready accomplished through WPA aid at the airport and go over plans for future dnvelupmenl. Committer tn Confer.

IS MARIHUANA DRUG By FEDERAL IN SAN FRANCISCO (AP) The fed eral government has formally entered the war against America's newest narcotic menace, the marihuana cig-aret. When the potent Harrison nar cotic act was panaed In .1014. "gig gle smokes" were known only to a nanarui or Mexicans In the south west ond escaped Inclusion. In the post-war Jan ago they attracted at tention of western peace officers as a frequent factor In Juvenile orime, and by 1937 their danger was so widely recognised that 48 of the 48 states had outlawed them. Now, under the form of an "exclhe tax law," congreas has empowered Uncle Sam's trained dope hunters to go Into action against marihuana. "Marihuana la rained largely by Mexicans In the midst of cornfields," says W. O. Walker, chief of the Cali fornia division of narcotic enforce ment. "Five hundred pounds may be grown In a patch 100 feet square and hidden in 160 acres of corn. "We havo found It among the plants of a man's backyard garden and a park laborer even sowed H among hla flowerbeds. The ordinary birdseed you buy for a canary is marihuana seed, so you see It la easy to start a crop." In late summer, the plant's nar row leavri exude a powerful narcotic resin. The branches then are har vested, dried In the sun, crushed and rolled Into clgarets. These nor mally sell for 25 cents each. A nationwide survey by Dr. Prank uomna. Now Or I onus com mis- i AKRON, O. (UP) Members of Oie Brazilian highway expedition, blaz ing a trail for a proposed Pan American highway from Rio de Janeiro to New York, visited nere as they neared the end of their nine-year trip across two con tin ents. Commander Leonldae Borges de Ollvelra, Francisco Lopez de la Cruz, Mario Fava, and S, W. White, who made up the. party, traveled through 16 countries in their survey. They prepared 34 maps and charts of the route, which will be turned over to the Pan-American Union in Washington. Ten thousand miles of the 18 ,81 a miles of the highway are open to motor traffic, they said. It Is ex pec ted that the route will be open ed south to Honduras within two years and that the entire project will be finished within six years. The exploratory expedition travel' ed across almost Impassable stretches of country I n Cen trai and Sou t n America. For weeks at a time they lived on parched corn, roots, and drank water from the stalks of the bejuco tree. When they had no gasoline they fueled the cars with a mixture ot kerosene and alcohol and lubricated them with lard. The Pan-American highway would enter the United Statea at Laredo. and extend from there to Austin Dallas, Little Rock, Memphis, at. Louis, Springfield, Chicago, Detroit, Cleveland, Akron, Pittsburgh, Wash ington, Philadelphia and New York, enabling South American visitors to this country to traverse the most Important industrial and commer cial centers. The expedition reported It had received both moral and financial support from all of the countries lu which it had made surveys ana studies of the route and several oi the countries have already improved their sections of the 16.000 mile highways. Where more than 30 similar ex peditions have attempted the samel undertaking and failed .the present expedition sees the end or the nine year trip already in sight. i y v a - i yy BIO APPLEOATE.
