Miss Endicott to Visit White House Office
The report notes Miss Endicott will attend the White House with several lady assistants and accompanied by Mr and Miss Gardner of Boston. The State Department says two English engineers recently surveyed a proposed Acapulco to Mexico City narrow gauge line. A Mexican charter granted seven years ago to Sanchez is kept alive by formalities. An English driven survey is provisional. A Mexico to Yanquepes line could connect with the planned route. Congressman Lodge plans a House bill on undervaluation of sports goods and a customs court akin to the last Congress county bill, aiming to advance discussion in Committee before a Senate measure arrives.
