Chief | * A-S QUAKE MAY AFFECT - GANAL PLANS FATE 1Speculation Widespread or Just What May Be Drawn From Earth Shock. Speculation was widespread in mili- tary circles today over what effect, if | any, the Managua earthquake would have upon the long-proposed construc- | tion of a canal across Nicaragua by the American Government. It was intimated in some quarters | that the temblor amounted to a death warrant for the suggested waterway. Other persons were equally insistent in contending the quake was “a mere act of God” and would have no bearing on the canal's legislative future. In any event, it was generally conceded the quake would not enhance the prospects of the engineering dream developing into a reality. Will Not Delay Report. War Department officials announced | the quake would not result in any de- lay of the report to be made by Army Engineers who have been conducting a comprehensive survey of Nicaragua for almost a year in an effort to gather technical information for Congress, such | @s the formation of the earth and | weather conditions. The engineering | party included some 175 officers and men, | nator McKellar. Democrat, of Ten- nessee, and other lawmakers have advo- cated construction of the canal for more than & decade. They have con- tended such a water course would be of inestimable aid to commerce and would provide auxiliary support to the Panama Canal in any future wars in which the United States might become embrofled. May Capitalize Quake, Most officials believed opponents of | the waterway would make political | thunder out of the quake. It was thought they would charge it would be folly to spend vast sums in building monster locks, only to have them de- stroyed by another earthquake. Even before the quake opponents of the plan contended the project would give the country the added burden of defending two canals instead of one in the event of war and would add little to the military defense, RICHMOND FIRM GIVEN KLINGLE SPAN CONTRACT New $450,440 Structure to Be Erected on Connecticut Avenue.
