While the report contained no indications of the costs of new construction and Improvement of existing facilities, tt was believed that much work along these lines ls contemplated and in his transmittal message Mr. Roosevelt called particular attention to virtually self liquidating methods of acquiring land for highw’ay building.
The report dealt at length with the "excess-taking” of land. Under this plan the government, which builds the highway, would purchase substantial strips on either side of the arteries, at first renting the land on a concession basis and then selling it over a period of years to homebuilders and others NATIONAL ROAD SYSTEM “Thus the government gets the unearned increment and reimburses itself in large part, for the building of the road,” he said.
He said the report might be regarded as a “master plan for the development of all of the highway and street facilities of the nation,” one which Is "designed to meet the | lequirements of the national de-! fense and the needs of a growing peace-timt traffic of longer i range.”
| The report recommended a five-point program entailing an interregional network, using present routes to a large extent, and earning them directly through large | cities by construction of “de-| pressed" thoroughfares—main

The economics professor declared that although a year ago public opinion was ln favor of neutrality and peace at any cost, current sur-veyi have shown a shift to the other side. The American people would like peace, but have already decided they would rather aid the allies against the totalitarian powers for ideological reasons than be passive in case of war.
“War ln Europe might bring us business prosperity through trade in raw materials with Great Britain and France. Though we might not participate in the conflict dlrecUy because of pecuniary interests, these might be translated through rationalization, Into spiritual motives,” Dr. Pettengill stated.
Despite dissenting opinion, which the speaker admitted, he maintained that the decision of entrance Into a war should be placed ln the hands of the people through ferendum.

New Bill Introduced To Give President Wide Economic Power
WASHINGTON. April 27—(I'.PI— Acting on the eve of Chancellor I Adolf Hitler's reply to the no-war ! plea of President Roosevelt, the ; administration proposed today that . congress farther Implement the na-j tlon’s pressure against totalitarian | governments with an economic wea-! pon designed to cripple the Japanese arm of the Berlln-Rome-Tokyo axis.
| The proposal, which occasioned I no surprise except for its timing, was contained ln a bill by Senator Key Pittman. D., Nevada, chairman of the senate foreign relations committee and administration spokesman. It would permit the president to place embargoes against shipment of American goods to Japan or any violator of the nine-power treaty.
HIGHLIGHTS LISTED
It highlighted a series of swift developments bearing on foreign policy and national defense, including:
1.	Indications by high government officials that the administration officially wlll snub the Hitler reply because of the form In which he is making it—a speech to the Reichstag rather than a regular diplomatic message through ordinary channels.
2.	Appointment dT 58-year-old Brig. Gen. George Catlett Marshall to succeed Gen. Malln Craig as United States army chief of staff when the latter retires August 1, and a request by Secretary of War Harry Woodring that congress enact legislation to permit the retirement of over-age officers unsuitable for wartime field duty.
ROOSEVELT SPEAKS
3.	A declaration by Mr. Roosevelt ln his relief message that totalitarian nations mask their unemployment and relief problem by counting all workers receiving government relief work as regularly employed, a practice not used In this country.
4.	Disclosure by the war department that contract awards for 571 plane* under the army air corps expansion program represents a balanced plan to acquire huge bombers and the newest type of swift pursuit and so-called Interceptor planes believed capable of a 400-mile-an-hour speed.

Beers Links Flies, Humans
The significance to mankind ot the transmission of physical characteristics In black fruit flies, was explained by Dr. Catherine V. Beers of the zoology departent yesterday afternoon at a lecture ln room 151 Sclelce building.
“These files," Dr. Beers explained, "breed very rapidly, thus making them applicable to the situation at hand,” “Our problem lr this work of producing thousands ol generations, in order to observe In herlted characteristics, ls solved by the use of these files."
Dr. Beers links the fly with a human by comparing the similarities within the chromosomes, which when taken from the cells of the fly and from man appear under the microscope as tiny black strings bent In characteristic patterns.
Dr. Beers remarks that the appearance of blue eyes in a famiy of brown-eyed people, or the continuance of curly hair ln a family for several generations ls due to the carrying power of these microscopic. genetic fragments.
It Is the belief of the speaker that ln this method of tracing obvious characteristics in many generations of the fly, It may be deduced that the same trends are taking place ln the similar function ln man.
Such diseases, she says, as cancer and such abnormalities as missing bones and teeth which have been attributed by science to the dominance of a weak trait carried by heredities messenger, the gene, may in time be traced back In man by observing similar condiUons in the fly, averra Dr. Beer*.
