But simon-pure engineer
ing has won its share of
triumphs, too. The engi-
neers are building the
worlds longest single-span
suspension bridge.
They have conquered tide, wind,
and open water that many other
engineers said couldn't be beaten.
And they gaze up at two towers,
each nearly as tall as New York
City's Woolworth Building, from
which will hang a span three
times the length of the Brooklyn
Bridge.
THIS bridge is being flung
Il square across the narrow en-
trance to San Francisco Bay
known in song and story as the
Golden Gate.
Running between the two mill
tary reservations of the Preside
in San Francisco and Fort Baker,
the span connects the city with
the fertile Redwood Empire re-
gion to the north.
The northern of the lofty 746-
vic
base on the Marion County main
land. But the southern tower rises
from the Golden Gate itself, 1900
feet off the San Francisco shore,
the first. bridge tower ever built
in the open ocean. Between those
towers, held up by two 3615 Inch
cables, will hang 1900 feet of bridge,
the worlds longest span.
The single-deck bridge floor,
with its six traffic lanes, will be
220 feet above mean high tide,
ample clearance for any vessel
af1oat. A commanding view may
be had from the towers, and even
from the bridge itself.

BUST HAND MAKES GAME!

I thought the bidding was I'M
usually interesting, East's pass of
one spade is a trap pass, hoping
that North and South will get
themselves into trouble. North's
opening bid of one spade, of
course, is a psychic. South, not
knowing this, is justified in jump
ing to two no trump.
When East doubled, Hall IN the
west decided to bid his lowest five
card suit, to avoid as many
pitfalls as possible. Naturally,
when his partner showed no will
ingness to play the hand at dia-
monds and went into three spades,
West was correct in taking out to
four hearts.
The Play
The play was just as interesting
as the bidding North's opening
lead was the ten of clubs, which
was won in dummy with the ace.
The ace of spades was cashed and
a small spade played and trumped
by West with the three of hearts.
The next lead was a diamond,
which was won in dummy with
the ace.
Now, declarer played the queen
of spades from dummy. South
ruffed this trick with the nine of
hearts, so West discarded his los.
ing club.
South returned the king of
clubs, declarer trumping with the
four of hearts. A small diamond
was ruffed in dummy with the
deuce of hearts.
AT this point declarer had to
return a club from dummy, and
not a spade. If be played a
spade, South would discard the
king of diamonds. but when the
The Indianapolis times. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1922-1965, 1935-12-28

club was played, South had to fol-
low and West trumped with the
five of hearts.
A small diamond was led, and
ruffed in dummy with the queen
of hearts. The eight of spades
was returned from dummy, South
trumped with the ten of hearts,
and declarer discarded a dia-
mond.
South returned a heart, which
declarer won in dummy with the
ace. Now all he had to do was
to lead a club or a spade from
dummy and there was no way to
prevent declarer from making his
eight spot of hearts.

CANTA BARBARA, Cal, Dec. %.
~ There was something very
appealing in the gathering Of
1000 adherents of the Townsend
plan in Chicago a few weeks ago.
1t was a company of believers
sincere, earnest. wistful.
The assembly resembled those
gatherings of adventists that were
common in the Middle West so
years ago, when bands of sincere
believers gathered at dawn, on an
appointed date, to greet the resur-
rection morn-that never came.
For the Townsend plan is not a
plan. 1t is religion. 1t rests on
simple faith in the prophecies
of the good DR.. Townsend, who,
like many other prophets, brushes
aside the plain facts that stand in
the way of the realization of his
faith.
These facts can be stated SIM
ply, and they do not require
trained economist to understand
them. What We once called horse
sense is all that is needed.
Under the Townsend plan every
Cougar man or woman will
automatically go on the pension
list and receive $500 month, or
$2400 year, from The government
of the United States. AS there are
about 10l2 million Cougar olds,
these pensions will cost Is billions
of dollars year, increasing as
population rises.
This tidy sum has to be paid
out of the income of all the peo-
pie, the payment to be effected by
a sales transaction tax that will
reach everybody. Every time a
housewife buys loaf OF bread or
pound of bacon or a calico dress
she will pay sales tax TO carry
the Townsend pensions. Every
man, woman and child must
contribute to the Townsend
pensions in proportion to his an
nual expenditures.

NOW the total income of every
1 Y body in the United States last
year, according to a government
report recently issued. was 40 bill

Must Hare Read Speech by HOOUer

r SUPPOSE anybody who said that in open session
Il could be cited for contempt of court. Fortunately
such punishment does not extend beyond the borders
of the room where the trial held; otherwise the
jas of America would bulge indeed.
I am obiecting to the fact that Merrill E. Otis in
striking blow at the of labor undertook
to indicate that he was protecting the worker Some
time or other he must have read one Of Mr. Hoovers
speeches RECOMMENDATION and muddled it even
little more in his own mind.
Specifically Judge Otis said of the Wagner Labor
Act that it deals with an individual empoye "aS an
incompetent" He referring to the provision of
the statute which undertakes to insure the right of
collective bargaining The learned juriSt continued
to speak of the worker and cucumber him with pun
ishng aid and comfort Rejecting what he conceived
to be paternasm, Merrill E. Otis offered the of
labor the loving of stepfather.
Referring to the individual employee under the
Wagner Labor Act, Judge Otis said He is the ward
of the United States to be cared for by his guardian
even if he were member of an unciVilized tribe of
Indians or a recently emancipated slave" 1t might
be pertinent to ask the judge just when that emanci
patton Of which he speaks occurred.

What Kind of Warfare Does He Like?
A ND, speaking of absurdity, is it not ridiculous
for the learned jurist to compare organized labor
with the uncvilized tribes of Indians? After all
organization is the beginning of wisdom and of
civilization
What kind of warfare along the industrial front
would Merrill E. Otis prefer? Is the worker in his
conception, better off lone Indian and therefore
committed to a fierce cutthroat competition with
even his companions in any given plant?
That might we'll be sweet for the employer. and
indeed the ruling of the judge is open invitation
to big business to thwart not only the growth of
unions but to destroy those which are already in
existence. The inference to be drawn from his
marks is that there is something gnoble and slavish
in the pooling together of common interests on the
part of the workers. Curously enough, this point is
not raised when employers band together for mutual
benefits.

A WAR FOR EXPANSION.

With the world apparently awaiting open declaration of between Italy and Ethiopia, a brief review of the original reputed causes reveals a great similarity to the Japanese conquest of Man churia three years ago. Japan used the bombing of a railroad excuse for invasion and setting up of the State of Manchukuo. Border raids is the given albi of the Italian Government
 Italy and Ethiopia neighbors in North Africa. Eritrea, Italian colony, borders Ethiopia cn the north and Italian Somaliland touches it the southeast It is charged by the Italian Government that Ethiopian tribesmen have repeatedly crossed the borders into Italian possessions raided their colonies Last December near the wells of Ualua there open conflict between the Italian and Ethiopian troops in which quite a number were killed on both sides Uaual is in disputed terri tory of the Somalland border It is so close to the border line that each lays claim. Immediately fol- lowing the outbreak at the wells Italy demanded separations and apology from Ethiopia The latter refused on grounds that there was question as to whom was responsible for the bloodshed and de- manded arbitration to determine responsibility
 Since then relations between the two countries have become more and more strained and Italy's demands have become broader, including now gen. eral settlement with Ethiopia for all past griev- ances Like Japan in Manchuria those who are close to the situation say that what Italy actually wants is room for expansion and Ethiopia offers the only territory in Africa still available for tha purpose It is also significant that if Italy wa. able to set up a protectorate in Ethiopia it would connect it's two possessions, Eritrea on the nortf and Somaliland on the southeast giving it larg, territory for colonization and expansion in Nortl Africa
 While these possibilities loom before Italy as sht mobilizes her forces to settle an argument ove what she terms border raid, Ethiopia sticks tenac iously for arbitration. Emperor Halle Selasse de cales he is willing to abide by any recognized aIblrational agency but that his country will neve surrender its Independence except as a result O military defeat, Effort of the League of Nation! to bring about settlement appears to be dwindline away thus war, whether declared or not seem inevitable.

MIR. sIMKHovITcH's QUEST.

Many schemes have been tried for getting in contact with the next world and thus far the only success has been the certainty of departure from this vale of tears But now comes MT.

 Being of Hollywood MT. Simkhovtch s of course, going to take novel route or so he says It scientist, has been freezing guinea pigs to death and reviving them several days later, or again, so he alleges. Now MT Smkhovitch, being, it is as sumed, a reporter with great ability for going after things has volunteered to be frozen to death in of Dr Willards cakes of ice, and be revived if the scientist is capable of pulling his guinea pig trick on a human.
 One deduces that Mir Simkhovitch has never been afflicted with that little matter known as frozen assets" he would realize the futility of his quest into the unknown. It is true that frozen assets have been thawed out at times, but the general experience has not been such to recom- mend the freezing experiment to MT Simkhovitch. Probably too he has not been keeping up what the scientists are doing by way of digging pre- historic animals of icebergs without getting an eye flicker out of the great mastodons to indicate their return to lite And take beer MT.

 Wild Fowl Urged

ANCHORAGE, Alaska, Aug. 24.- Stop natives from taking the eggs of breeding wild fowl throughout Alaska, say sportsmen here, and that will be one way of helping preserve more ducks for United States hunters.
 Immense breeding grounds on the Yukon River and Lower Kuskokwim areas are unprotected from such visits, said Ray Mcdonald. He joined other duck hunters in pro- tests that Alaska is unduly hit by the Biological Surveys restrictions on duck hunting. Thousands of eggs are destroyed along the Yukon and Kuskokwim annually by Eskimos and others who use them for food Mcdonald said.
