PAN-AMERICAN VISIT 18 FIRST TRIPOUTOF U.S. Coolidge Will Go to Havana in January to Address Pan- American Union Washington, Dec. 27.—(7)—When President Coolidge leaves the United States to address the sixth interna- tional conference of American states in Havana, Cuba, Jan 16, he will’ be making his first visit to the Carribean region, and his first trip to another country since he became chief executive of the nation. fe Accompanied by Mrs. Coolidge, Secretary of State Kellogg and Sec- retary of the Navy Wilbur, the president will ‘carry a message from the United States to the rep-|~ resentatives of 20 other American republics which make up the Pan- American Union. Only a Day in Havana Because congress will be in ses-| sion and the White House social season at its height, Mr. Coolidge will be unable to spend more than a day in Havana. But this short stay, it is believed, will go a long way toward clearing the atmos- phere of a great deal of suspici of the United States’ foreign p: {cy and attitude toward the com- ponent states of the Union. _ Confronted with consideration of the report of the commission of ju- rists which met this year in Rio de Janeiro, the congress is expected to be charged with controversial material.

Washington, D. C., Dec, 27.—Fed- eral-aid road projects completed during the fiscal year, June 30, 1926 to 1927, increased the mileage of im- proved roads in the federal-aid high- way system by 8,306 miles. Commenting on the mileage com- pleted as set forth in the annual re- port of the bureau of public roads, officials of the American Automo- bile association today expressed satisfaction over the progress of the federal-aid system. The actual disbursement of fed- eral-aid funds during the year was $81,371,013. This is a reduction of about $6,000,000 below the disburse- ment of the preceding year, which, in turn, was $8,000,000 less than the ‘disbursement of the gear befote. The federal government paid $81, 330,857 or 44.5 per cent of the $182,770,089 expended on federal-aid projects during the yeai The year's construction bri the total length of roads imp! with federal assistance up to 64,210 miles, the A, #.

He is secretary of the group. " ae The Pan-American Union was founded following the first inter- national conference in Washington in 1890. Its avowedd aims include preservation of peace, facilitation of commercial, cultural and social intercourse between the American nations and development of all kinds of communication between North, South and Central America. " The Union is ruled by a govern- ing board with headquarters in the Pan-American Union building here. The building was a gift of Andrew Carnegie. The board is composed of the heads of diplomatic missions of American nations in Washington, and the secretary of state of the United States. Countries not hav- ing diplomatic missions here may appoint special representatives on the governing board. President Coolidge’s plans in- clude a trip in a special train to Key West, Fla. There he will board the U. S. S. Texas, flagship of the United States fleet, if it is; not raining, and proceed to Havana. If the weather is inclement, a navy cruiser will speed him on his way, @s the Texas is too large to enter .the harbor there and the trip to the battleship in an open boat would be too uncomfortable, After delivering his message, the president will start back as soon as possible for Washington.
