Bridge Approach

Five Union Pacific section crews
resumed work at am Thursday
near the Columbia River railroad
bridge east of Hedges with the
cheering prospect that they would
soon have 10000 pounds of en-
CINE back on the tracks and rolling
again.
The engine, pulling a Oscar
freight train, ran through the de-
rail at 4:2O Wednesday morning
and toppled to its side 200 feet
short of the Columbia river, draw
ing one box car with it, partially
derailing another, and tieing up
traffic for Is hours ...s -.
Bridgemen Claude Robertson,
Maurice Foley and George Mill
gan had opened the bridge span
to permit passage of the Inland
Chief, down-river bound for Una
tilla, thus automatically setting the
derailing devices on both ends of
the bridge. Misunderstanding the
report of his head flagman, En-
gineer Davis made his eastward
approach to the crossing, believing
that his way ahead was clear. Up
on seeing the signal set against
him, he set his brakes only to have
the following weight of his train
push him through the derail.
Engineer Davis and his fireman
rode the engine through until il
came to a halt on its side on the
road bed along the track, and
climbed to safety through the side
window with only minor cuts and
bruises.
Most seriously injured of the
train crew was Head Brakeman
James Cole, who incurred a GU,
on his hip, and was rushed to Ou1

emergency treatment. He was dis.
charged after ten stitches were
taken in the wound.
Cyle Allen, foreman of section
311, and residents of the entire

the scene of the wreck by the sus-
tanned sound of the whistle
through which steam escaped fol
an estimated half hour after the
crash.
| Warned off by the sound of the
crash and the sight of escapins
steam, the crew of the Inlanc
Chief at once put back up the
river, but returned and cleared

some one Is sure to put this ques-

If you don't, the tone implies, there's
another treat in store.
For Mamie Eisenhower is not only
the wife of a popular hero-she has
natural charm that wins hosts of
friends wherever she goes.
So far as the Eisenhowers are con-
cerned, she thinks the spotlight
should be on the supreme Allied
commander of World War II who is
now Army Chief of Staff-with per-
haps a share on her son. She's
immensely proud of Capt. John
Sheldon Doud Eisenhower, who is
named for her father. In Vienna
for some time, he recently was
transferred from the Allied

French Chic
In Mime. Blum
By Katharine NJ. Brooks

French chic is exemplif1ed in Nine.
Blum, wife of M. Leon Blum, now
visiting the French Ambassador and
Nine. Bonnet. Those who have met
her here have found her quiet, re-
tiring and charming. She has ex-
quisitely delicate skin and the direct
gaze of her eyes, which are such a
dark brown they appear black, in
idicates her sincerity. She arranges
her black hair, rather generously
streaked with gray, parted on the
left side, the natural waves falling
into a small roll at the back.
Nine. Blum was wearing a black
tailored suit when I met her the
other day at lunchtime. With this
she had white crepe blouse made
with turnover collar which she had
pinned at the throat with a diamond
studded pin. This was her only
ornament, except for the large link
silver Identification bracelet on her
left wrist. The bracelet belonged to
her son, the late M. George Torres,
one of the war casualties. On the in
side of the identification band he had
etched with a nail the name of his
wife. Nine. Torres and their IA
month -old son Dominique are living
in Paris and this young man is
one of the reasons Nine. Blum will
be glad to return home.
Her hands, in spite Of the work
that must be done in her apartment,
are soft yet capable looking. She
wears no rings and her nails are
without polish or color.
Nine. Blum is enjoying thoroughly
this trip with her husband. 1t is
a delightful rest and almost a
honeymoon. They were married
little more than a year ago in the
German prison camp where he was
held. Nine. Blum, then the widow
of Henri Torres of Paris, gained
permission to join M. Blum and be
married in the camp. They were
released shortly after.
Nine. Blum's conversation is
mostly about conditions in France.
For instance, she tells of calling on
friend in Paris and finding her
trying to dry sheet-a feat next
to impossible in heatless rooms, but
at least there are sheets in Paris.
After Nine. Blum offered to help,
she and her friend stood on oppo-
site sides of the room to wiring out
the dampness. Since there is no
modern household equipment. IRON
ing sheets is well-nigh out of the
question. Owners of sheets often
are forced to press them with their
hands and this is frequently done
on the floor.
This petite Parisienne takes no part
IN politics, preferring to be only
Nine. Blum, wife of the French
leader. But she talks considerably
about the work ahead for French
women who were permitted to vote
for the first time in the past elec-
tions.
