Main Street Hod 1787 The resolutions Included: Walter S. Hallanan, Charleston, W. who read a statement of policy submitted by Wendell Willkie, the party's presidential standard bearer in 1940, who proposed to repudiate "the doctrines of isolationism." David S.

Ingalls, Cleveland, representing Senator Robert A. Taft of Ohio who advocated "unqualified and aggressive support to the president in the prosecution of the war." Resolution by Brooks Werner W. Schroeder, Chicago, who read a resolution by Senator C. Wayland Brooks of Illinois who urged the party to pledge Us "lives and resources to the efficient, complete and final wlnnnlng of the war for America." The three resolutions wore referred by Martin to the resolutions committee. Members of the national com It- fee gave Martin a vote of confidence at the outset of the meet- Ing, arranged to map strategy for the party's fall campaign.

The Taft and Brooks resolutions drew criticism from Sinclair Weeks, Massachusetts committeemnn nnd party treasurer. "This Is a chance nbove all others for the Republican party to take a clear-cut positive position on the great Issues which face this country," Weeks said in a statement. "I have seen the Brooks and Tnft, resolutions and do not consider them In any degree adequate from this I am also informed that Senator Taft said he did not propose to go further in his declaration than to declare for a vigorous prosecution of the war. Isolationism Is Dead "This attitude does not suffice to cover the proper presentation of the issues which confront us. "Isolationism, of course, Is dend.

but here is a vltol opportunity for the Republican party not only to declare that isolationism Is dead day but that it is dead for all time Brooks' resolution was not made public, but the only post-war reference In copies of the Taft resolution was for the restoration of all rights and freedoms surrendered to the administration during the conflict. Taft said, at a press conference, that "we are In no position yet to decide what kind of a peace there should be." Willkie, who was not here for the meeting, said in New York yesterday that "if the Republican party is to remain an effective instrumentality of party government, it must not only repudiate completely and absolutely the doctrines of isolationism, but it must also with courage and imagination recognize that America, after the war, must play its full part in world affairs and help lead the peoples of the world to peace and democracy." His resolution asks for a vigorous prosecution of the war, "at whatever cost in wealth, energy or human life," and urges the party to pledge no peace with the axis powers, except peace with victory, "however persuasive the propaganda in which such proposals may be clothed."

Surviving are a son, Richard; two i grandchildren, Betty Louise, and Henry Arthur: a niece, Mrs. John other Thirty-two years of operation of a railroad across the Andes between Chile and Argentina have provided neither the frequency of service nor the low rates needed to stimulate trade, so new motor highway facilities are being urged. The Andes system, extending 4,400 miles from Panama to Tlerra del Fuego, Is the longest and highest mountain range in the world, says the National Geographic society. It averages nearly 13,000 feet, a dozen peaks exceeding 21,000 feet.

Chile Needs Trade Chila extends for 2,600 miles In a narrow strip between the jagged heights of the Andes and the Pacific ocean. With no broad agricultural plain like the Argentine, it urgently needs trade exits through the mountain barrier for distribution of its timber and mineral borates, copper, iron and coal. Both countries have their busy network of rail lines, separated by the mountain wail. Since 1860, when the first line over the foot San Francisco pass between the countries was proposed a dozen trans-Andean rail routes have been planned. Several were partly constructed, but; only fcne, the narrow-gauge line from Los Andes, Chile, to Mendoza, Argentina was completed.

Disastrous Washouts in 1.1.14 Sponsored by the governments of the two. countries the line operated continuously from 1910 to 1934 except in heavy winter snows. Three trips a week in each direction was the maximum summer schedule, dropping to one trip a week in winter. In 1927 a part of the line on the Chilean side was electrified. Eight years ago.

heavy summer storms destroyed the Mendoza river valley section on the Argentine side. Bus service was substituted over a 100-mile stretch. Part of damage was repaired, and it is planned to resume all-rail service by 1943, but this depends in part on obtaining steel for bridges from the United States. The rail distance from Valparaiso to Buenos Aires is 888 miles and normally requires 34 hours. Business railroad has never been important men often choose the air lines.

The railroad has never been important for freight because of high rates necessitated by transfers at points where the rail gauge changes. Motor freight has been speeded since 1939 by the opening of a narrow highway beside the tracks in the railway tun- I nel. Other routes. In existence and planned, involve combinations of. railroad, highway and lake steamer.

Completion of 1,500 miles of good i trunk highway through the valley of Chile is proving to be a stimulant to freight and passenger I motor transport. It is seen as the spine of the Chilean network of highways from which will extend; new routes eastward through the Andes passes into Argentina. BULLFIGHTlS DULLJ NOVICE MATADOR SHOT BY SPECTATOR Mexico novice matador, already painfully gored by his bull, was shot and killed in a ring at Tampico by a spectator, according to an investigation filed with the Union of Matadors in Mexico City. The report identified the slain "novillo" as Omar Villalobos, one of six promising Monterrey youths being trained for the ring by the veteran Lorenzo Garza. During his corrida in a small ring at Tampico, Villalobos had been gored.

The report admitted the novice's performance has been desultory, but said the crowd failed to realize the extent of his wound. He was being booed and hissed, but nevertheless the youngster reentered the ring with his muleta and sword, determined to go on and make the kill. While passing the MINNESOTA COMMUNITIES TO PUNT TREES DURING MAY St. Paul, communities and counties will plant about 7,000,000 coniferous trees during May, The seedlings will be distributed free of charge by the Department of Forestry. An act of the 1941 legislature permits the state to distribute coniferous trees, without cost, for use as windbreaks on school grounds, roadside forests and parks, woodlots, and similar projects, providing the lands are set aside and dedicated to forestry or conservation for not less than 25 years.

Civic leaders point out many benefits to come from the plantings. As cities grow, they say, more and more people will demand woodlands for picnics and relaxation. They say the forests will turn into bird sactuaries and game refuges. Conservationists point out forested areas give watershed protection and help prevent run-off of excess moisture. Minnesota has 10 state nurseries to provide forest, plantings.

He applied for a new tire for a vehicle which he uses to haul to market. His vehicle consisted of an automobile chassis equipped with a wagon bed, to which he hitches a team of horses for motive power. The board was doubtful whether he could buy a new tire because they knew of no classification for that type of vehicle. His request was submitted to state headquarters. The stage route, started In between New York and Philadelphia, took three days to make trip.
