The photographic work 1is being carried on with new five-lens cameras from an altitude of 5000 feet, as compared with the usual mapping altitudes of 10,000 to 15,000 feet. The result is an unusual amount of de- tail in the finished map. Virtually all the personnel of the section has been assigned to the mapping task except a detachment of Bombardment Wing on Southern ma- neuvers to photograph landing fields and other essential points and develop & new type of film for gun cameras, Daring Driver Hurt. ‘While riding a motor cycle in the “ride of death” on the inner wall of a huge barrel in Nicosia, Cyprus, Ted Gunn crashed to the bottom when his machine skidded on the wet surface and he was seriously injured.

President Roosevelt'’s recommenda- | i tion yesterday that Congress favor-| & ably consider United States mem-|§ bership in the Pan-American Insti- | tute of Geography and History, with an annual contribution of $10,000 for. $ our share in the institute's expenses, | § today was considered in many circles, ° 1o be an important step forward in furthering cultural and peace rela-! : tions between this country and the pan-American nation. |1 In Washington, diplomats of the| Central and South American coun-| i tries have looked forward to United | States entry into the institute, which | would collect, co-ordinate and dis- seminate valuable geographical and historical data to ali its members, since its organization during the Sixth International Conference of American States in Havana, Cuba, in 1928. While the primary function of this institute would be of great im- portance to explorers, road builders, | historians, transportation and com- | | merce, the Latin American countries | also looked to it as an agency which | would further friendly relations. | Invited to Meet Here. In a special message to Congress,, % accompanied by a statement from § Secretary of State Hull, the Presi-' dent urged that an invitation be sent to the institute, which has Mexico City as its headquarters, Lo hold its next general assembly in ‘Washington and that another $10,000 be appropriated to pay the expenses of the conference while here. | “I commend to the favorable con- sideration of the Congress,” Mr. Roosevelt wrote, “* * * that legis- lation may be enacted providing for an annual appropriation of $10,000 | for the payment of the share of this Government in the expenses of the | Pan-American Institute of Geography and History and requesting the President to invite the Pan-American Institute of Geography and History to hold its second general assembly in the United States in 1935, and providing an appropriation of $10,000 for the expenses of such a meeting." Already the institute has completed & topographical map of Honduras, the first authentic work of its kind. Close on the heels of this the insti- tute plans to survey the entire length of the proposed Pan-American highway, which, if built of concrete from the Unilted States border to Panama alone, would cost a total of $159,000.000. Members Noted Specialists. Members of the institute are noted specialists in the field of geography and history, with Dr. Wallace M. At- wood of Clark University, Mass., as its president, elected in the 1932 conference in Rio de Janeiro, when the organization first planned its next conference, to be held in the United States. Dues of each country were figured on the basis of $200 for less than 2,000,000 inhabitants. The United States, therefore, would have to pay $10,000 each year for this material “good will.” Mapping of the entire Western Hemisphere is one of the principal undertakings of the institute. The American Geographic Society of New York several years ago had to col- lect and compare maps from each of the pan-American nations in order | to construct a map of the world on the scale of 1:1,000,000. This map, which has been under way for many years, would be materially assisted, the institute believes, if each country | contributes its share toward its| construction. Many other geograph- | ical and historical problems remain | to be solved in the future. United States agencies, educational institu- | tions and interested scholars will be | greatly assisted in these problems. Hull Issues Statement. Secretary Hull, in his statement to | Congress, told of the erection of a handsome building in Mexico City to house the irstitution. Of United States support and membership, he‘ 3-Pc.
