Riding with the President to the

sive and charming Harry Nice,
then Governor of Maryland And
Harry put up great talk to Mr..
Roosevelt on national defense. He
had with him a detailed map show
ing a traffic bottleneck for auto
mobiles and trucks coming from
the South through Washington and
Baltimore. He pointed out that in
time of emergency, Washington
would be damned with military and
commercial traffic. He further
pointed out that any sabotage
against the other bridges across
the Potomac would leave the cap

predicament.
Harry talked fast and furiously.
Roosevelt listened. The President
always has been intensely inter-
ested in the problem of national
defense. Even as early as 1888 he
was thinking in terms of the pres
ent national emergency. So, Gov
ernOr Nice's sales talk struck
home. Roosevelt returned to
Washington and gave Secretary
Ickes, then Administrator of Pub

coed with the bridge

One of the chief subjects of dis
cussion at the very charming
luncheon given by the Bennett
Grains at Mount Victoria previous
to the Potomac Bridge ceremonies
was what name should be given to
the new span.
For many years prior to the Nice
Tydings-Lewis strategy which fl
nally brought the bridge into be-
ing, many people hal labored for
its nth. Back in 1925 when the
late Robert Grain was urging the
Maryland Legislature to finance
the Grain highway, there came up
from Richmond, Charming Ward, |
now 85 years old, who sold young
Bennett Grain the idea of drawing
up contract whereby a proposed
toll bridge across the Potomac
would net $4,000 900 in only few
years. Hard boiled engineers es-
innate that even in today's heavy
traffic the bridge tolls on the new
bridge span would be no more than
100000 in five years.
After the Grain highway became
an assured thing, Bennett Grain,
John Mackall of Baltimore and DR..
Hugh Young, Grains father-in-law,
drew up an Incorporation known
as the George Washington-W Wake

 Another member of the faculty explained that a board of exemp- tions was set up a few days after registration.
 "But that board has had relative ly little business. The vast majority of our students are behind the de- fenSe program, body and soul.

AT RUSSELL SAGE THEY'LL BE READY
 IF WAR COMES
By MARIAN YOUNG lNEA Service Staff COrrespOndentl

(NEA OeIVICe SIdH OOFTeSpOHuenI)
 Troy, N. Y.-If war comes to the United States, at least one group of women will be prepared to play an active, effective part in home de- fense.
 The young women who registered for the defense program at Russell Sage college on October 16, the day that young men all over the coun- try were required to register for the draft, are conscientiously engaged in strengthening the home front, from every angle.
 Lessons in plumbing, electric wir- ing, how to fix a broken gas main or repair telephone line have replaced thirty traditional but merely social, clubs on the campus of this impor- tant college for women.

 Open forums to discuss world events, the meaning of Democracy, the full meaning of what it might mean to live under totalitarian rule, how propaganda moulds public opinion and equally provocative sub jects take up much of the time that used to be given over to "bull ses- sions."

An action-filled wrestling card
that will feature a bout between
Dick Lever, the Tennessee Terror,
and Johnny Mars, former world

Officials of the American Legion,

night.
Mars is one of the cleanest
wrestlers who has appeared in the
ring here and has a pull with the
fans that assures him of the cheers
while his opponent will definitely
be on the defensive as far as the
audience is concerned.
In the preliminary match of the
night John Grandovitch, a man of

tomorrow night and officials said
today they have instructed him to
see the matches are fought as they
should be, using whatever means
he needs to carry out this mission.
