Regular Veterans We'll Led And Prestige Is Gro'oing
Regular%

The small but strong Regular Veterans Association is establish ing an enviable record for promot- ing the passage of veterans legiS- lation and for leading fearless at- tack against the spread of Com munist doctrines in America.
 Under the leadership of energetic National Commander William Mo- Kinley Floyd, the R. V. A. is rec ognized favorably on Capitol Hill. Tt takes an act of Congress to get things done" says Floyd.
 The R. V. A. is no newcomer as veterans organization. It has had it's national headquarters in Washington since the early 193Os, but the organization is much older than that, tracing its origin back to 1880, when small groups of veter- ans organized for the purpose of representing the interests of mem bers of the Regular Establishment. The growth of the movement was slow and fitful, finally eliminating in the R. V. A., hard-hitting veterans outfit organized along modern lines to stay and grow.
 Unique among veterans groups, it did not spring out of any war. It was founded with the express pur- pose of helping to maintain the rights of regular service enlisted men, who served their country both in peace and in war.
 Boldly Anti-COmmunist
 A resident of Unalaska, Alaska, Commander Floyd is presently seeking improved conditions for veterans who wish to settle in the Territory Masks offers opportun- ities for the veterans, he says, but he declares that it will take legis- lation, time, and money to realize those opportunities to the fullest.
 Quick to recognize the threat of Communism to America, the R.V.A. has been conducting a jealous an- ti-Red campaign in Washington for the past two years. In August 1945, the R. V. A. demanded that

Kentucky with l28 bridges and ferries leads the field, with New York State having 78 tolls of vari- ouS types, in second place. :. Pennsylvania, of course, has the longest toll parkway, 160 miles, on which for a payment of $1.5O you may make the full trip at seventy miles per hour.
 Connecticut has two toll park ways, the Merritt and the Cross, under the jurisdiction of the High way Department. and two toll bridges, one the Charter Oak under the Hartford Bridge Commission, and the Groton-New London under the Commission of that name. There is another now. under construction by the Highway Department for the Old Lyme-Old Saybrook Bridge Commission.
 In general, tracing be transaction from no bridge to a bridge, the State moves step by step through study of the traffic need, the ad visibility, the financial aspects, particularly as to the solvency of the big business proposed.
 When all of these questions are satisfied the steps prior to actual construction of the necessary Struc-

the Department of State, the House Committee on un-American Activi- ties and the Department of Justice and it's FBI conduct immediate in- vestigations of all Communist ac- tivities in the United States.
 Tn March 1946, Commander Floyd and the R. V. A. called on the armed forces to throw out all Com munists. Communists should be kicked out of the Army and Navy and be forced to wear red dis charge button," Floyd declared at that time. Charging the Reds with instigating World War II and plan ming to sabotage American indus try Floyd asserted, We Regulars don't want any Communists or other subverSives in the postwar military or naval establishment"
 In February 1947, the R. V. A. demanded that the administration clamp down on admission of alien subversiveS to the U. s. Charging the immigration service with Seri- OuS AdA11y HI dA1OWAAS oAACl SNS versives free entry to the country, it now calls on the 80th Congress to effect sweeping remedies.
 Appearing before the House committee on un-American Activi- ties recently, Commander Floyd urged passage of a bill which would abolish the Communist Party in the United States.
 Pointing to State Department and Justice Department inaction, despite repeated requests from R. V. A., Floyd called for congress sional action to eliminate the scourge of Communism. As addi- tional safeguards, the R. V. A. has strongly recommended that uni- versal fingerprinting be required, that lists of known Communists be published for information of the general public, and that all aliens in the country be required to register.

ture are those pertaining to the legal or legislative allowances, the governmental acceptance of plans particularly as to clearance, the floating of the bond issue, the sale of which is competitive, and the letting of the contracts.
 The construction is followed by the organizing of the administrative set-up, the planning of operation covering the handling of traffic and collection of revenue, to meet the biennial obligations, recurring expenses, fixed charges, etc.
 The Groton-New London Bridge deScends from an interesting line of railroad and highway bridges.
 In October 1889, the New Haven Railroad completed a dual track bridge at a cost of $1, ,30O,0O0.0O across the Thames River. Prior to this time all traffic, rail or other wise, moved east and west between New London and Groton by ferry or flat
 Later, the need for a heavier structure to carry the increased weight becoming apparent, the rail road thirty years ago in 1916 let the contract for more rugged type bridge to replace the one in op- eration. This new bridge was built at a cost of $2,5O0, ,0O0.00 and was opened to railroad traffic in 1919.
 At the same time the old railroad bridge was donated to the state through the Highway Department for use as highway bridge, and after an expenditure of $100,O00.OO for reconverSion it was opened in November 1919 as toll facility.
 This bridge in time superseded the ferry transportation arrange ment the last of the ferries, the old Mohicsn, having been sold in Au- gust 1929 and later used on the wn-Newport run.
 On January 1, 1924 the collection of tolls, such revenue averaging $7,OOO.OO monthly, was discon- tinued. Some of the communication books used at the time are still in circulation and are being presented for passage today.
 Te reconverted bridge served as best it could; however, so made quately that back in 1927 a group of civic minded champions of the district, many of whom are daily users of the present structure, en- deavored at that time to have . new bridge built.
 Repeatedly these far-sighted men sought year after year their goal until 1937 when the State Legisla- ture passed a bill sponsored by Representative w. Ellery Allyn to direct the Highway Commissioner to investigate the need of new bridge and to determine its location and type of construction, and to submit a report to the 1889 session of the General Assembly.
 An exhaustive study proved without question the acute need for a new bridge The growth of the area, the increase in traffic to the almost unbelievable figure of 18,- 900 cars day, together with the need for expeditions movement o& lend-lease products of New Lon- don County industrial area, proved conclusively that a new high level

Since the first toll bridge was opened in 1854 at Row ley Massachusetts, Newbury River the collection of tolls throughout the country from motorists has graduated to the realm of big business and because they levied to meet apparent need they ordinarily paid with feeling of value received.
