engineering principle from his
mind into something tangible.
There were no blueprints nor
other nonsense. McClain thought,
talked and supervised-an they
hauled the results away by the
truckload.
THEY ALL WORKED
The gadgets all worked as they
should and as Mccain modestly
admits he knew they would. Work
commenced.
Just for a starter. the steel
wrappings were removed by those
machines. Some $50 miles of
wire was salvaged right there.
At present the task of dismant-
ling the huge cables, strand by
strand. is in progress. Coinciden-
tally. the crews engaged on the
chore have fixed up a betting pool
az to when it will complete; a
favorite date is about three weeks
hence.
Each wire of the cables
stretches more than a mile
across the Tacoma Narrows
and there are 1900 wires.
McClain's m a ch inery drags
some 5000 feet of wire to reels
at this end about every 20 min

500 pounds of valuable high-ten-

Dismsntling of the defunct span
is being done by Woodwork a
Co. Of this city and J. Phillip
Murphy Of San Francisco. under
supervision Of the Washington Toll
Bridge Authority.

months from now the pier founda-

The complaint also charged
that the companies refused TO
hire any worker not an ALL
member or not holding an
ALL work permit.
The board said the complaint
alleged the companies signed AFL
contracts before there were any
employees in one yard and less than
one per cent of the ultimate crew
was at work in other yards.
The Kaiser company had 1s1
employees at its Vancouver yard
and none at Swan Island when il
entered an AFL agreement last
April. the complaint charged. The
Oregon shipbuilding corporation
signed a contract in May. 1e4i.
when 66 workers were on the Job.
Six months later. the complaint
said, more than 10000 employees
were on the payroll.

French army to fight the Axis in

pons on French fsscists. instead

at Algiers whereby they are con-

the French will control North AZ
RIGA and clean up fascist groups
in the territory with the silent
blessing of the Americans.
Capture of Oran was aided
greatly by revolt within the
French army. a revolt led by
some of Its highest officers.
The acting commander Of one
French army garrison sent his
men into battle with only three
bullets each. They surrendered
without a fight.
Some French soldiers, instead Of
firing upon Americans, seized the
opportunity to KIN number Of
fascist troops and officers who

Doriot. leader of the French fas-

AS for those who did resist, one
French officer explained it thus:

But lots of us tried to fight
as little rs possible"
An example was the case Of
some American soldiers taken
prisoner while attempting to land
in oran harbor. They were led to
a Zouave barracks, received as
guests and placed on parole with
out guards.
