months ago, connecting the main land with Olympia Peninsula.
 At Seattle. the Coast Guard said one boat of the service is in the NarrowS and two others are being rushed there to stop all water traf- fic in the vicinity.
 Leonard Coatsworth, Ia com a News Tribune reporter, was the last person on the structure. He abandoned his car and crawled 500 yards on his hands and knees to shore while the bridge tipped as much as 45 degrees.
 The bridge, since it's opening, has been nicknamed "Galloping Gertie, ? because of it's strange weaving mo- ton in the wind
 Travellers over the span usually expected the swaying motion and at times reported seasickness from it's motion.
 Collapses
 The entire bridge, except two 425 feet tall steel towers sunk deep ly below the water, collapsed
 The bridge is insured against all risks
 State patrolman Don Johnson ar rived on the scene soon after the span began it's terrific sway. He intended to cross the span, but by the time traffic was halted, he said the deck seemed to ripple
 Hundreds of spectators stood on the shore near the east approach watching the dancing structure. When steel cables suddenly gave way, a huge block of concrete be- gan to fall in a hundred-foot sec ton. The first fall was followed by a weird roar as the rest of the sus- pension cracked and collapsed fall l ing 190 feet to the water. Reporters Experience Reporter Coatsworth said he stopped his car on the bridge, got out and started back to pick up little spaniel dog, but he was thrown from his feet before he could reach it.
 He crawled on his hands and knees while crowds held their breath. Gasping, his knees raw and bleeding, his hands bruised and swollen, he grasped a concrete curb, struggling to stay himself from certain death. Exhausted. he lay in the roadway clutching the curb until he could i breathe again and then resumed his torturous progress, toward the last rising to his feet and risking a run for the last few yards. A few seconds later, the bridge fell com pletely behind him.

They are not 30 bad as they have

the crow to come SO close to the

5000 Hear Dewey
Al Denver's S LARGEST
Rally Since 1896
New Deal Accused Of
Turning Progress Into
Economic Stugnotion'

By the Associated Press.
DENVER, April 24.-Between 5000
and 10000 people, Denver's largest
politically rally since President
Roosevelt spoke on the Statehouse
steps in 1896, packed the auditorium
last night to hear Thomas E. Dewey
accuse the Roosevelt administration
of turning American progress into
economic stagnation and defeat
ISM"
The New York district attorney,
Republican presidential candidate,
said the New Deal administration
has attempted to persuade us that
we must resign ourselves to a per-
manent depression, so that there
may be permanent excuse for the
New Deal.
Here is an example. On Novem-
Der II, 1885, Harry Hopkins, as ad-
ministrator of the w. P. A., said: I
believe that under our present sys-
tenn We will have to face indefinitely
the fact that many people will want
jobs who cannot find them -
Prophet of Despair
"On whose authority did that
prophet of economic despair speak?
Certainly not upon the authority of
the history of the American people.
~" We have had our ups and downs
but We have always continued our
progress. The New Dealers have
transformed that progress into eco
nomic stagnation and defeatism.'
you will recall that Harry Hop
kins blamed our present system for
what he said would be our perma-
nent unemployment. 1t would be
interesting to know what other sys-
tenn would be preferred by our non-
commercial Secretary of Commerce. +"
Mr.. Dewey directed much of his
attack against the Roosevelt admin
1stration's "vengeful policies toward
business" which. he said, strike par
tlcularly at small businesses.
Cites Treasury Figures.
Citing Treasury Department fig
ures for the years 1931-1937 for busi-
nesses with assets of less than $780,
600, he declared: 1T is safe to say
that small business as a whole has
lost money every year under the
New Deal"
The greatest proportionate def
cheney of jobs" he said, is in this
economic field
BY destructive taxes on individ-
uals," Mr.. Dewey said, the Demo-
cratic administration has driven
investors of large means into tax
exempt bonds" depriving the small
businessman of funds for expan-
sion.
Mr.. Dewey and his campaign
party will rest at Colorado Springs
