So wrote Ralph Bradford in

on his second trip across the
United States.
Bradford can neither hear nor
speak. He does not consider this
handicap to his travels for he
has moved over 503,553 miles
and is now enroute East. His
first trip began after he grad
uated from school and the
second trip began in September,
1852, at Los Angeles, Calf.
He has peen injured twice
during his travels. In 1949 he
was in bus that crashed a car
and a year later, he was struck
by a train.
He hopes to someday write a
book about his travels and ex-
periences. Presidents Coolidge
and Franklin Roosevelt are
among the famous men he has
interviewed. His living is made
by doing odd jobs, although he
says he is a skilled textile work.
