AIRLINES 10 LINK
AMERICAS SOON
Lindbergh Hop to Panama
Will Open New Units of In
ternationa! System.
Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, January 30.—The air
mail route from, Miami to Panama,
which will be operated next Monday
with Col. Charles A. Lindbergh flying
the first plane, is to be a link in a
commercial aviation system by which
Pan-American Airways, Incorporated,
Is planning to connect the United Slates
with the principal cities of South
America, it was learned yesterday.
Pan-American Airways is the holder
of the Miami-Panama contract as well
as the Miami-West Indies contract.
The proposed main air route to South j
America, which lias been surveyed in;
its entirety and over part* of which
planes are already in operation, leads
from Panama down the west coast
through Guayaquil, Lima. Antofagasta,
Valparaiso and intermediate points and
crosses the Andes Mountains from San
tiago, Chile, to Buenos Aires.
Montevideo and Rio de Janeiro are
within easv water and rail distance
from Buencs Aires and a French com
pany is planning an air service serving
these points.
East Coast to Be Served.
On the cast coast the Pan-American
Airways recently obtained mail con
tracts from Panama through the coast,
cities of Colombia and Venezuela to.
Port of Spain, in Trinidad, and south- j
ward to Paramaribo, in Dutch Guiana. .
That route, it was stated by Airways |
officials, is now in the process of organ- j
ization. , .. , ..
From Paramaribo a projection of the
East Coast route has been surveyed to
Pernambuco, Brazil, half way arounci
the continental shoulder toward Rio
de Janeiro. At Pernambuco this route
would connect with the proposed
French lines connecting Paris with Rio,
Montevideo and Buenos Aires.
Either route, it is estimated, would
bring Buenos Aires within 4 or 5 J
days of Eastern cities in the United J
States, as against 14 to 17 days now
required to make the trip by sea. Dur
ing the recent visit of President-elect
Hoover to South America, aviation pro
moters there predicted a 72-hour serv
ice from Washington to Buenos Aires
within a short while.
Pan-American Airways contemplates
an arrangement with North American
railways whereby it would be possible to
purchase through tickets from any
place in the United States to any point
along its South American air routes.
Such an arrangement already exists in
connection with the lines now operated
from Miami to Nassau and down the
West Indies to San Juan, Porto Rico,
West Coast Route First.
The Airways officials expect that the
West Coast route will be the earlier
through route completed to Buenos
Aires. It will also be the more direct
route, since the West Coast, of South
America is virtually an extension of the
Eastern Coast line of North America.
The West Coast route would consist
of five links, the first being the new air
mail line from Miami to Panama, which
touches at Havana, Merida, Yucatan,
Balize, British Honduras and Puerto
Barrios, Guatemala, where the route
divides with a western branch running
through Guatemala City and San Sal
vador, the capital of the Republic of
Salvador, to Managua, in Nicaragua,
while the eastern bronch goes through
Tegucigalpa, Honduras, to Managua.
From Managua the course follows a
single route to San Jose, capital of
Costa Rica, and to David and Cristobal,
Panama.
The second link, which had been sur
veyed, would run southward from Cris
tobal to the cities of Jurado, Buena
ventura and Tumaco in Colombia, and
Bahia do Caraques and Guayaquil in
Ecuador. ,
Scadta, the German aviation com
pany which for nearly a decade has op
erated profitably in Colombia, also has
survey this route with a view to ex
tending its lines.
Through Peruvian Territory.
The third link swings southward from
Guayaquil through the Peruvian cities
of Talara, Turjillo. Lima and lea to
Mollendo at the Chilean border. Peru
vian Airways, a company owned jointly
by Pan-American Airways and W. R.
Grace & Co., already is operating
planes over- virtually the entirety of this
link..
The next section, over which Chilean
military planes are operating a tenta
tive service, has been surveyed by Pan-
American Airways through Arica,
Iquique, Antofagasta, Caldera, Serena
and Valparaiso to Santiago, the capital
of Chile.
The last and most difficult section
consists of the trip over the Andes to
Buenos Aires. Scout planes have fol
lowed a route, via San Juan, Cordoba
and Rosario in Argentina, which is to
the north of the Trans-Andean Rail
way Line. It is said to be possible to
obviate the difficulties of mountain
flying by a combination air-rail service,
going by plane to Los Andes, at the
foot of the mountains on the Chilean
side and thence by train over the crest
to an Argentine base in the neighbor
hood of Mendoza on the’ edge of the
pampas.
An alternative is a southerly route
crossing the mountains through a 6,000-
foot pass at Laguna Fria, flying am
phibian planes which could utilize a
chain of lakes and rivers for landing
purposes. Due to the fact that most
of the South American routes follow
the coast, it is planned to make general
use of amphibians.
Amphibians to Be Used.
Pan-American Airways expects in the
near future to send a plane over the
entire route from Miami to Buenos
Aires. Officials of the company denied
that Col. Lindbergh has any arrange
ment with them to fly farther than
Panama, though it is reported he may
make a similar South American flight
when he has completed his trip open
ing the Miami-Panama service.
The plans for the East Coast service
would permit a traveler to choose be
tween a flight byway of Panama or
down the Windward Islands to Port of
Spain.
The Panaman route would be the new
Miami-Panama mail route as far as
Cristobal, whence amphibian planes are
to follow’ a line through Turbo, Car
tagena and Barranquilla in Colombia,
and Maracaibo, Curacao and Maracay
In Venizuela to Port of Spain. From
there the two routes will proceed to
Georgetown, in British Guiana, and
Paramaribo.
The West Indian route is under oper
ation from Miami to Havana, Cama
guey and Santiago in Cuba, Port au
Prince, Santo Domingo and San Juan.
The service is being organized from
Porto Rico to Guadeloupe and Mar
tinique. from where the planes will
make the short sea jump to Port of
Spain.
Pan-American Airways also is a bid
der for the air mail contract from
Brownsville, Tex., to Tampico, Mexico
City and Vera Cruz, with the option of
extension of the service to Merida,
w’here it would tap the Miami-Panama
route. The contract is to be awarded
In Washington this week.

CIVIC CENTER BILL
ACTION IS DELAYED
i
: Senate District Committee
Considers Measure —To In
spect Proposed Site.
The Senate District committee yester
day afternoon considered the bill to
j authorize the municipal center develop
ment to house District activities, but
postponed action until its next meeting
to permit members to inspect the pro
posed area on both sides of John Mar
shall place.
The committee members debated the
question of whether to confine the pur
chase of land to the two squares facing
the District Supreme Court or to in
clude also the two squares facing Penn
sylvania avenue. The bill, as transmit
ted by the Commissioners, provided for
only the northern two squares, but the
House District committee amended it to
take in the entire area.
Sackett Says Economy Caused Action.
Senator Sackett, Republican, of Ken
tucky said he thought the House de
cision was in the interest of economy,
because the value of the remainder of
the area would increase if only half is
acquired now. The Kentucky Senator
also wanted to know if the United States
is going to pay for the present District
Building when that structure becomes a
part of the Federal group. Commissioner
Dougherty said he did not know, but he
assumed that would be done.
Senator King, Democrat of Utah, said
his mind was still open on the question,
but that he cmild not see why the Dis
trict government could not remain in
its present building and construct an
addition on the south. Commissioner
Dougherty said that would not take
care of dll the municipal housing needs,
because it is advisable to keep the sev
eral courts and the recorder of deeds
near the District Supreme Court struc
ture.
Highway Bill Report Favorable.
The committee ordered a favorable
report on a bill which would enable the
Commissioners to abandon proposed
streets shown on the highway plan
when it is found inadvisable or un
necessary to open and grade them.
The committee discussed the neces
sity for obtaining Senate action at this
session on the bill which has passed
the House to give the Federal Govern
ment a better method of condemning
land it needs in Washington for Federal
buildings and parks. It was decided
that if the measure cannot be passed
on the unanimous consent calendar,
Chairman Capper should make a mo
tion in the Senate to proceed to the
consideration of the bill.
MAJ. YOUNG TO INSPECT
AIRPORTS IN EUROPE
Director of Aeronautics, Com
merce Department, to Fly Over
Airways in Own Plane.
The first official American inspection
of European airways and airports will
be made during the coming two months
by Maj. Clarence M. Young, director of
aeronautics of the Department of Com
merce. Maj. Young is sailing from
New York a week from today, taking
with him his own airplane, a Depart
ment of Commerce open cockpit biplane,
which he will reassemble at Southamp
ton.
By actually flying the European air
way himself, Maj. Young expects to ob
tain first-hand information on behalf
of the Department of Commerce and
the aviation industry of this country
concerning the important airways of
England, France, Italy, Austria and
Germany.
It is believed that Director Young,
who, himself is a pilot of war-time ex
perience, not only can make the in
spection of foreign air establishments
with greater speed by using a plane,
but also that he will obtain better re
sults. A departmental statement ex
plained that “making his inspection
as a pilot, rather than as a passenger,
he may see the entire system from
the viewpoint of the operating per
sonnel.”

STRESSES LOW EBB
OF NAVY STRENGTH
Admiral Hughes in Statement
Compares U. S. With
British Personnel.
By the Associated Press.
The enlisted personnel of the Navy,
outside of its aviation branch, has
been reduced to a point where it is
seriously affecting the efficiency of the
United States fleet, in the opinion of
Admiral Charles F. Hughes, chief of
naval operations.
Testifying before a House subcom
mittee on the naval appropriation bill,
Admiral Hughes described the present
situation as acute and declared an in
crease to 88,500 from the existing
authorized strength of 84,000 men
would be necessary to meet require
ment sduring the next fiscal year.
He said the non-aviation enlisted
personnel had been reduced by 7,000
men since 1923 through a curtail
ment of 2,000 of the total strength
and increase of 5,000 men assigned to
aviation.
“As new ships have been completed
or old ones recommissioned.” he
added, “crews have been provided for
them by decommissioning older ves
sels and by reducing the crews of
vessels already in commission.”
“Now, however,” he continued, “the
number of ships to be maintained in
commission cannot, consistently with
the purposes and requirements of the
Navy, be further reduced. Therefore,
as it becomes necessary to provide
crews for new construction there is
but on emethod remaining under the
limitations of 84,000 men—that of re
ducing enlisted personnel allowances
of vessels in active operation.”
Admiral Hughes submitted a table
to the committee showing the com
parative strength of the naval per
sonnel, in which Great Britain's force
exceeded the United States by more
than 10,000 officers and men. Japan
ranks third.
Great Britain’s strength was shown
as 104,431; United States, 93,036; Ja
pan, 81,595; France, 60,834, and Italy,
45,397.
The “United States exceeds Great
Britain, however, in the number of
Marines, the former having 18,807 and
the latter, 10,454.
CRUISER BILL INDORSED.
President’s Own Garrison Scores
* Opponents of Measure.
At a meeting of President’s Own
Garrison, No. 104, Army and Navy
Union, Monday night at Pythian Tem
ple, resolutions were adopted indorsing
the cruiser program as outlined by
President Coolidge.
The resolutions set forth, in part,
that “naval armament is the outstand
ing question at the present time, and
that organized propaganda is dissemi
nating its pernicious influence at the
seat of our Government in an effort
to defeat the cruiser bill. As a result
of the Washington Arms Conference the
United States scrapped 19 vessels and
canceled the building program of 13
others that were under construction,
thereby casting aside the world naval
supremacy, as the ships scrapped were
to be the most powerful in the world.”

While it is a tradition that the an
nual dinner of the trade body be
“speechless,” it is likely that Capt. Fried
will be asked to speak briefly of his
experience at sea in rescuing the crew
of the Florida. Also, motion pictures
will be shown of the rescue of members
of the Antinoe crew at sea by Capt.
Fried and his men three years ago.
Capt. Fried will be seated at the
guest table, above which will be a model
ship about 40 feet in length, containing
a great searchlight. The entertainment
program, which will include many acts
representing countries to be visited dur
ing the “cruise,” will be presented on
a deck of a ship, to be constructed
in the place of the Tegular stage of the
main ballroom.
Following an assembly at 6:45 o’clock,

NEW YORK, January 30 OP).—ln
response to a popular demand, the
United States Shipping Board yester
day ordered Capt. George Fried, hero
of the Antinoe and Florida rescues, to
relinquish command of his ship tem
porarily and prepare to make a tour of
several of the country’s larger cities.
When the rescue liner America leaves
for Europe tonight it will be under
command of Harry Manning. Fried’s
32-year-old chief officer, who was in
command of the lifeboat that saved
the Florida’s crew.
Manning will be the youngest man

temporarily placed in command.
The announcement of Capt. Fried’s
“inland voyage” was made at a luncheon
given by Charles V. Bob at which the
rescuers from the America were the
guests of honor. After Capt. Fried and
Manning had told of the rescue, George
S. Mabee, assistant general manager of
the Untied States lines, mada'the an
nouncement.
The orders from the Shipping Board
were the result of thousands of letters
from all over the country asking that
other cities than New York be given
a chance to see Capt. Fried, whom
Mabee called “the greatest officer the
American merchant marine has ever
developed.”
“They say that the radio has removed

HE NAVY FUNDS
HELD NECESSARY
Addition of 8 Ships in 1930
Will Raise Expenses, House
Committee Suggests.
By the Associated Press.
The prospect of adding eight ships to
the Navy in 1930 has brought from the
House appropriations committee the
suggestion that funds for that arm of
defense must be greatly increased or
the operations of the ships must be cur
tailed.
In reporting the annual supply bill
carrying $347,000,000 today the commit
tee said it had provided for the addition
of 500 men to the enlisted personnel of
the Navy and had made other efforts
to meet the situataion. The estimates
look to the addition of eight ships dur
ing the year, it said, bringing the total
to 327 ships in operation. The eight
new ships would be five first-line cruis
ers, one first-line submarine ( and two
first-line fleet submarines.
Need More Men.
“No diminution is contemplated in'
the operation of this force," the com
mittee said, “and yet, in view of that
fact, there must be need for additional
enlisted personnel, for greater outlays
for maintenance and upkeep, and for
operating expenses. For the latter we
find an additional allowance for fuel
requirements;. in other respects nothing,
or practtically so.”
“If it be the intention to operate all
of the ships now in commission as well
as those new ones approaching comple
tion as and when ready for commission
ing, it follows that there must be ex
pansion in personnel and for the added ■:
expense for operating and for the proper j
upkeep of that part of the establish
ment maintained for the support of the
1 Navy afloat.
“The committee seriously questions
the wisdom of keeping in commission
and operating all of the ships embraced
by the operating force plan. It has
found, however, that curtailed appro
priations have little influence on the
; policy in that regard.
“There are two courses open to us.
1 Either adequately to provide for oper
’ ating everything at tremendous extra
• cost. Or, if the Navy itself will not tie
up ships, for the Congress specifically

to provide what ships shall be oper
ated so that the savings thus effected
may be used properly to take care of
the vessels remaining in commission,
which includes, of course, additional
outlays for the shore establishment."
$15,000,000 Decline.
The bill’s total Is almost $15,000,000
under the amount provided for this
fiscal year.
The decrease was caused largely by
smaller appropriations for increasing
the Navy and modernizing battleships.
The amount for Increase of the Navy
was cut to $34,750,000, or $14,895,000
less than for this year.
Other increases in various appro
priations along the line, however, trim
med down the saving by several mil
lion dollars. At the same time, the
committee said that it might be neces
sary to provide additional money during
the year to complete the fleet sub
marines V-4, V-5 and V-6. This would
require almost $3,000,000, which already
has been authorized.
The decrease in the cost of modern
izing battleships resulted from the
virtual completion of work on the bat
tleships Nevada and Oklahoma. Previ
ously $13,150,000 had been provided for
the purpose and the cost limit was
raised by $450,000, which is carried in
this bill.
Among the principal outlays were
Bureau of Engineering, $20,171,460;
Bureau of Construction and Repair,
$18,316,080; Bureau of Ordnance, $13,-
277,020; Bureau of Supplies and Ac
counts, $175,035,400: Bureau of Yards

nautics. $31,645,420; Naval Academv,
$1,986,930: Marine Corps, $24,981,877;
increase of the Navy, $34,750,000.
