B—6 SOVIET HAS HUGE HIGHWAY PROERAM Hopes by Aid of American Skill to Solve Communica- tion Problem. By the Associated Press. MOSCOW, August 14.—Belleving that Russia’s communication problem can be solved only by a gigantic arterial network of low-priced roads, construct- ed by American skill, the Soviet gov- ernment has embarke.. on & huge road- bullding campaign. It will involve an ultimate expend- fture of $1,250,000,000 and the laying ©f 5,000,000 miles of roads. Not only will these highways have enormous commercial importance, but they will, according to Soviet officials, bring the tens of thousands of back- ward towns and villages in the remoter districts of the vast Soviet Union into closer touch with the cultural life of the cities and greatly improve the liv- ing standards of the masses. | American Experts Employed. Much of this enterprise, which will occupy five years, will be under the supervision of American road-building experts, headed by Charles F. Sea- brooke of Bridgeton, N. J., formerly | highway commissioner for the State of | New Jersey. He already has a contract | with the Soviet government to direct | the laying of $75000000 worth of | asphalted roads in the city of Moscow. | With Seabrooke are associated H Fldridge Breed, professor of high engineering in New York Unive and Charles Melville Upham of Raleigh. N. C., chief engineer of the North Caro- lina State Highway Commission, who are said to be two of the greatest rpad- building experts in the United States. Assisting them are 35 other American | specialists. To lay 5,000,000 miles of roads, as | eontemplated by the government, will require about $500,000,000 worth of road-building machinery. Mr. Sea- | brooke expects most of this will be pur- | chased in the United States. Invest $2,000,000 in Machinery. Already the government has imported about $2,000,000 worth of road-build- | ing machinery from the United States and dozens of streets in Moscow are be- ing repaved under Mr. Seabrooke's di- rection. He said that 165000 square of road surface had llutfi{nbee? aid in this city and that within th next three years 900 miles of earth, gravel and low-cost roadway and 360 miles of asphalt and bituminous sur- ‘mtwoum be added to Moscow’s equip- ment. “No country in the world offers such road-building opportunities as Russia,” | said Mr. Seabrooke. ‘When it is re- called that the Soviet territory is three times that of the United States and that hitherto roads have not existed or been only primitive in form, some ides 15 gained of the magnitude of the task.” METHODIST EDITOR DIES Dr. Lyman E. Davis Expires Sud- denly at Baltimore Home. BALTIMORE, August 14 (#).—The Rev.

RAIN CHECKS FIRES IN MICHIGAN AREAS Favorable Winds Also Aid Fight- ers to Control Most Serious of 80 Blazes. By the Associated Press. STRONGS, Mich., August 14—The roar of forest fires gradually subsided in the smoke-fogged Upper Michigan Pen- insula today after rain and favorable winds aided more than 1,000 men to control the most serious of almost 80 blazes, one of which threatened to de- stroy the village of Strongs. Only a few new fires were reported, and they were considered harmless. As residents prepared to desert Strongs, threatened by fires advancing over an 1l-mile front yesterday, rain and wind combined to check the fiames. The arrival of a tank train of from Marquette_ completed relief, and | fire-fightersdir streams_of from force pumps to quench the blazes. | Rain fell genérally over the blazing | drought-stricken peninsula.
