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.

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.
