today after a weeks absence amid
reports that IT had started for
the Panama canal but had turned
back because of Far Eastern de-

However. Admiral J a mes o.
Richardson, Communicated chief of
the fleet, said: Regarding the
departure last Monday Of the

this was merely a routine training
exercise stimulating wartime SAIL
ing without prior notification.
Such exercises have taken place
in the past and are an essential
part of training. They may be
expected. TO reoccur at irregular
intervals"
Regarding reports circulated In
the United States last week that
the fleet was bound for the canal
and possibly for a temporary base
in the Atlantic because OF the
European situation, Admiral Rich
ardson said. "the nature OF the
exercise precluded the use Of the
radio, otherwise / would have cor

TACOMA vision and Tacoma

ton this week two factors of
immense potential value to
the community, to the state
and to the nation-the COM
pletion and opening of the
Narrows bridge today and
formal dedication of Nc
Chord field, Northwest army
airbase, Wednesday.
1t took vast amount of
aid from other communities
and from many private and
public agencies to realize to-
day what were little more
than dreams yesterday. Yet
the initial impetus for both
the bridge and the airbase
came from without our own
Tacoma citizenship.
Plans for a bridge across
the mile-wide Tacoma Mar
rows of Puget Sound were
considered by several gener-
atoms of Tacomans because
Puget Sound geography just
naturally suggested such a
span. Engineers eyed the
idea, as did private finan-
ciers. Net result was legis-
lative action providing for a
toll bridge authority, which
with city and county govern
ments assisting financially,
the state obtained loans and
grants from the federal gov
eminent and with the money
it put out itself, the s6,700,-
600 structure dedicated Mon
day was erected.
NOTABLE records in con-
~ struction were achieved,
both in speed and in safety.
But one workman was fatally
injured a remarkable record
in itself.
The bridge dedicated today

and county, but indeed the

 Hugh nodded, as Sidney joined him at the window.
 'Togi said he closed all the win dows, but this one may have blown open. When the house was modernized Adam had all the old windows replaced by this kind that swung out rather than lift. The catch may have slipped"
 A sudden flash of lightning illuminated the scene below them. Trees bent under the rain. There was no trace of any human out there in the storm.
 A hurried search of the room revealed no sign of fire. Other than the open window, there was no indication that the room had been entered since they had gone into dinner. They turned to the second floor of the house.
 Adams room and that of his wife were in the front part of the house. Nella occupied 8 suite in the rear. Braitwood, himself, had been n- stalled in the guest room at the head of the stairs.
