Brazilian Scouts Build Air Strips In Deep Jungle
i By United Press RIO DE JANEIRO, Brazil, Aug. 18—A group of Brazilians thas completed an eight-year, penetration of the central Bra{sillan jungle. Their work opens the way for direct air service between Miami and Rio de Janeiro. It will cut iflying time between those points by several hours. i. Defying savages, wild animals nd disease, the Roncador-Xingu expedition of the governmentsponsored Central Brazil Founation has laid its 12th air strip the heart of the jungle on the fTapajos River, a tributary of fhe Amazon. \ * The achievement climaxed a $000-mile trek across some of the world’s wildest virgin territory and completed a chain of air strips from Golania, in Goias State. Strung on a diagnoal line, hey are designed to permit straight flying from Rio de Janeiro to Manaos, on the Amaon, opening the immense cen-| Aral area to civilization. i
{ * Shortest Route
| Eventually, this will bring commercial flights over the shortest ute from the United States,

The first of the jungle air strips) ‘was opened by the expedition at] JAragarcas in 1942, Recently the| Central Brazil Foundation’s| Jheadquarters wete transferred | ito Aragarcas to shorten the ex-| ‘pedition’s supply route and begin | Actual colonization of the area. + The latest base at Tapajoz, on| the 7th parallel south of the Equator and 58 degrees west dJongitude, appears destined to become the hub of north-south and east-west alr routes across South| America. It is only 1 hour, 40] ‘minutes flying time from Manaos, | «apital of Amazon State.
{ : Hampered by Rains * Other strips are located strateKleally at points on the upper, ingu River, Xavantina, Garapu ‘and Kuluena, this last one near ithe spot where semi-savage Kalaipalos Indians claim to have killed ‘the British explorer Col. Percy! Saucett 26 years ago. + Never numbering more than 24 Jmen, the expedition was able to) Advance only seven months each! year, The rest of the time they were marooned by torrential rains «which cause rivers to overflow ‘and turned tens of thousands of Jungled square miles into lagoons,
