(AP).-The 109-year-old Gen.

was first opened to New York
through the bridge from which
one of its commuter trains
plunged into Newark Bay yes

The bridge, supported above
the oily bay on piles. spans
a distance of nearly is miles
between here and Bayonne, N.

1t was one of these lifts,

train dropped.
The bridge provided the final
link in 1854 in the continuous
route to New York by WY of

Warning Signals
The trestle approach to the
open drawbridge was strung
with warning signals. An am
Der caution signal was a mile
from the draw, A quarter of a
mile closer to the draw was
another. And $50 feet from
the draw was red stop signal.
Railroad officials said all
three were working.
Engineer Wilburn's train ig-
nored all three signals, ripped
through an automatic derailing
device and bumped on for 500
feet over the ties before it
plunged off the lip of the 216-
foot drawbridge.
Estimates of the trains speed
varied. Under normal circum-
stances, with all signals in its
favor, II was limited to As
m.p.h. A towerman said it hit
the draw at about 30 m.p.h.
Passengers aboard estimated its
speed at UP to so m.p.h.
Even then. but for a caprice
of timing, the train might have
escaped its watery plunge. The
huge concrete weights of the
drawbridge normally block the
tracks when the bridge is wide
open. But they had started to
rise as the bridge was being
lowered back into alignment
with the trestle. Through this
gap the train plunged.

For Jack Lotto, the shoe was
on the other foot Sunday night
when an effort was made to
eavesdrop by microphone on
conversations in his hotel
room.
The public relations man for
Bernard Goldfine, central figure
in the sensational hearings on
Capitol Hill, has engaged IN

On Sunday night, Baron I
Shacklette, then chief invests
gator for the House Subcom-
mittee on Legislative Oversight,
and Jack Anderson. an assist
ant to Columnist Drew Pearson
sought to eavesdrop on Mr..
Lotto's room at the Sheraton
Carlton Hotel by placing a
microphone beside the door to
an adjoining room.
AS an aftermath to that in
cident Mr.. Shacklette was fired
by the House committee and
Mr. Lotto, expressing indigna-

Iof three newsmen stationed
outside a room in the Commo-

A House committee, then

Mr.. Nixon was among those at

quoted Mr.. Lotto on, the subject
as follows:
ITO this day Nixon probably
doesn't know how we knew what
was going on inside.

by the third reporter, pressed
it to the door, turned up the
