SAN FRANCISCO. Oct. 30.—San Francisco two

~ great bridges have long since ceased to be mere curi-

osities and are now faithful old work horses. So I thought it was time for me to go out and see how ~they are getting along. Well, in addition to carrying an awful lot of traffic, rearranging the living conditions of thousands of people; almost doing away with the ferries, and getting their pictures printed all over the world, they have been the scene of many ‘tragic and ~funny incidents. We'll have to take them one at a time, so today it will be the beautiful Golden Gate ‘Bridge, and tomorrow 1t will be the less beautiful but more<heavily traveled Oakland Bay Bridge. They started painting the Golden Gate Bridge the minut: they began putting it up, they've been painting it ever since, and they’ll continue to paint it till it falls down, if ever. Thirty ters are on the payroll permanently. They do a little better than one-fifth of the bridge in a year. It would cost half a million dollars to paint the bridge all over. None of the painters has ever fallen or been hurt. They've rigged up so many safety devices that the insurance rate is way down. The painters are idle ut 30 per cent of the time because they can’t paint “the fog. \ A

Suicide Rate High The Golden Gate Bridge has come off easy in bad trafic accidents. The first fatal one was about a month-ago. Cars collided head-on (one driving on the wrong side of the bridge) and two people were killed. But the bridge is fine for suicides. They don't know how many there have beer. Because sometimes you see them and sometimes you don't. Pedestrians are allowed on the bridge, so it’s easy enough to

walk-out and jump over. Many’ funny* things have happened on the bridge.

Going home from San Francisco late the other night,

IN 1869, PARKER BYERS, a citizen of Indianapolis and an ornament to society, won the billiard championship of Indiana. He .held it url Jake Schaefer, a mere kid, took it away from him. Even Hore ‘humiliating was the fact that Byers was - Tine man who brought the kid to Inidianapolis and taught him the fine points of the game. Mr. Byers ran across Jake in Louisville, and soon as he saw him he realized that the boy had the makings of a good billiard player. By dint of playing his cards right, he talked Jack Garrett into giving the kid a job in his billiard place which at that time was part of a saloon on the ; ground floor of the old Maennerchor Building on E. Washington St. It was there that Jake started practicing in secret under the tute-

lege of Byers. : ‘a = -

Match Is Arranged

After practicing & year, Garrett fixed up a match between Byers and ®chaefer. By that time it was 1875. . Garrett promi to give the kid $100 if he would lick Bye Schaefer turned the trick and when it came time for the pay-off, Garrett handed the kid a ten-dollar bill in full payment of the debt. Right then and there Schaefer got sore and vowed he'd get even if it was the last thing he did. As time went on, a match was arranged between Schaefer and Garrett who, by the way, also was some punkins around here as a billiard player. Garrett buttanholed all "his friends and tipped them off to bet every cent on him. He said it was a lead-pipe cinch this time because he had everything fixed with a to lose the game to him. As a matter of

Washington

WASHINGTON, Oct. 30. 1 get fed up on this talk about newspapel sensationalism. When it comes to sensationalism, newspapers can’t hold a candle to what the politician does. And so far as Washington newspaper, writing is concerned, the sensationalism which the thoughtless attribute to the newspapers will, if examined, be found usually to consist of sensationalism not by the newspaper but by the politicians. I'll grant some exceptions, such as the handling of the Supreme Court fight, the Supreme Court nomination of Hugo Black and the first Reorganization Bill fight. Even there a good percentage of the distortion and hysteria came right out of the mouths of the politicians who were Hgnling Mr. Roosevelt. Let's come down to cases. I am looking at a newspaper report of Senate debate which occurred Thursday. The news account runs down a whole column on Page One. Neither in the headlines nor in the text on that page is there even a hint of what I'm about to mention. The article jumps to an inside page and there again neither in the headline nor in the subheads is there any mention or hint of the matter. = = =

~ which seems to exist primarily for the production of

steel. There is 3 certain majesty to : -this industry which catches one’s imagination. We came out from a street to find ourselves looking down over what seemed to be an _ almost limitless array of factory buildings and chimneys. The driver of our car said: “That is the U. S. Steel Co. and it covers six miles.” Think of the investment represented and of the stake which the people working “here have in the success or failure of that business, not to mention the innumerable people who own a part of the invested capital. It takes your breath away just to think thgt amy human beings are responsible for anything so vast. I saw two PWA projects during the morning. One, a visual education project in a school, was turning out extremely good material such as posters, pictures of birds, samples of grass, trees, bugs, etc., for use in schools throughout the district. The other, an Ohio State project being carried on in several big cities,

a man stuck his head: out the car window to cough,

and lost his false teeth. They hunted around that night and couldn’t find them. Next day he came back and hunted some more. And there they were, lying along the, curbing. Noth- | ing had run over them. The number of people who show up at the toll gates without any money was astonishing ‘to me, It costs 50 cents to drive across the bridge, and there is a law against letting anybody across for nothing. It usually winds up with one of the toll collectors . personally lending the money. The sergeant in charge says he has loaned $20 since the bridge opened, and is out only $1.50. All the rest has been repaid. On week-days, when traffic is light, only a couple of toll gates are kept open. The others are closed by a large mechanical arm which swings across them. Every now and then some drunk will come along and smash through one of these arms. < There was one the other day who came weaving through at 60 miles an hour. He knocked down the gate, knocked off his headlights, tore off a fender and kept on going. When the police overtook him in the middle of the bridge he didn’t even know he had hit anything: ? 2 =z =» ®

Army People Go Free

If you gét a flat, the tow car comes and gets you. They charge a dollar for towing you off and changing your tire. An average of about three cars a day go dead on the bridge. The bridge is built with plenty of room for exXx pansion and contraction. In fact, the main span can swell as far as six feet in hot weather. And in this recent heat wave, it did expand five feet. That's getting pretty close to the limit. Because the land om hoth ends of the Golden Gate bridge is Army reservation (for defense of the harbor) they have to let Army people across for nothing, At first, anybody from a great-great aunt to a 64th cousin of an Army man could, and did, ge across the bridge for nothing. But they've got it down now to where only an Army man’s immediate family can cross free. His mother-in-law is the most distant relative who can come under the free status.

fact, Garrett had * approached Schaefer on the subject and history records hat the kid had nodded his head. Jake Schaefer told Albert (Al) Blake what Garrett was up to. Al was. also in on Jake's secret, namely that when it came time he was going to get even with his employer and double cross him: With the result that the betting fraternity, acting on Garrett's tip, found their money all covered. ' You won't believe it, but it's’ the gospel. truth that $100,000—every cent of betting. money in’ the city—was up on the contest. It was the biggest and most famous sporting event that ever took place in Indianapolis, barring none. { » » =

Revenge' Is Sweet Garrett bet his place of business and every dollar

he had. . Finally the match came off and amid the

wildest excitement Schaefer won. Garrett was ruined and lost practically everything he had. Schaefer left the city that same night with his: hunger for revenge appeased and his pockets full of money. He didn’t show up in Indianapolis again until 1890 —a matter of 15 years—when he and Frank Ives put on an exhibition here. By that time Schaefer. held the record for 14-inch balk line. By that time, :too, everybody called him “Jake the Wizard.” There were a‘ lot of people in the audience that night, however, who still remembered Mr. Schaefer as “Jake the Kid,” the name by which he was known all the time he lived in Indianapolis. The only thing left for me to record is the fact that, on the night of Jake Schaefer's revenge, the crowd around§{Garrett’s Billiard and Pool Room, was so dense that the Maennerchor couldn't ‘have its scheduled rehearsal. It was the first time since the foundation of the Maennerchoir in 1854 that such a thing had happened. .

United States.” Hale of Maine said that if Germany wins, “the next move by the totalitarian Governments 1d be against ourselves.” There is your sensationalism. If the press came out in screaming editorials and headlines that Hitler

planned to invade the United States if he won the war, it would be accused of trying to inflame public sentiment by wild sensationalism. But let a. United States Senator use the same tactics to try to grab headlines and he either misses fire as this stuff did, or else, if he makes 2 headline, then the press is accused of being sensational. Charges on-the Senate flocr that Hitler plans to wage war against the Unitéd States should be assumed to have importance. But the newspapers realize these gentlemen are talking through their hats and their remarks are recorded briefly down at the end of the news account—which, if anything, is still overrating them. . : = 2 ” s

Public Getting Wise

It is generally felt that our inierests are | vetier served by an Allied victory,-that British sea power happens to work out in our favor and that it would not be such a comfortable world if this power changed hands. But that is something entirely different from Hitler waging war against the United States. The type of newspaper writing that must make a thing either black or white, that must distort it out of all proportion, that takes a set of facts or circumstances and is impelled to throw in a dash of sensational overstatement, is an imposition on the public. But maybe the public is getting wise. By and large the press gallery here is doing what it can to tip off the ultimate consumer when there's nothing but baloney inside the package.” ’

I have never happened to come across anywhere else, though it is doubtless being done. Newspapers in the various cities are being indexed and microfilms of the pages are being made. These films can be stored and lent with ease, and the indexing material will make available information on the news for the years which these projects cover. Youngstown has a symphony orchestra which is entirely self-supporting and which was started by two young Italian boys. Many workers in the steel mill: play in it, for among our American citizens of foreign: nationalities we are more apt to find artistic

ability—one of their «ontributions for which we

should be grateful. I visited a slum clearance project in the afternoon which covers a large area and which they tell me replaces some long-condemned buildings, which had been 2 blot on the city and a danger to the health of the people. 1 also had a glimpse of the park, which is one of the most beautiful natural parks 1 have ever seen. We left Youngstown immediately after my lecture, spent a few hours in Columbus. O., yesterday and found ourselves engulfed in a football crowd. We were tempted to stay over to see the Cornell-Ohio State game so as to be able to cheer our own state “college. » Now, after a part of a day and another night on the train, we are in Birmingham Ala.

“Would you favor a conference of the leading nations of the world to try to end the present war and settle Europe's problems?” North and ‘South, East and West, more than two Americans in every three reached in the ‘survey ‘say they would prefer consultation to’ furi.aer. hostilities. Their attitude, which adds the weight of important neutral opinion to the peace suggestions of leaders on both sides of the Atlantic, is time and again compressed into the expression: “They’ll have to call a peace conference. sooner or later...Why not have it now?” While many Americans qualify their opinions by saying that sich a conference would have to avoid becoming “another Munich” ar that “Hitler couldn’t be allowed to dictate the peace,” the survey gives one more indication of the deep-rooted American desire for peaceful and orderly solutions tointernational questions, recalling the American-sponsored KelloggBriand pact for the “outlawing” “of war and numerous other ‘official pronouncements by American statesmen. At the time o: President Roosevelt’s message to Hitler in April, moreover, the Institute found, nearly. three persons in every four with opinions (732) in favor of a similar international conference to settle the claims of Germany and Italy around a table. » ” ”

After two months of war, majority opinion in a nation-wide survey by the American Institute of I Public Opinion

In other words, the sentiment of the voters reached seems to be about evenly divided between a policy of. aloofRess from European decisions and licy, of using U.

Recent Institute surveys have shown that nearly half of the voters - (46%,) think America will not be able to stay out if the war continues. | But the survey results do not ~mean an out-and-out indorsement of Chancellor Hitler's peace gestures to England and France.

be settled just as well around a

Circle Ready for Air Attack (Starling Army Is Back Again)

‘North Side Fireworks Portege Against Invaders We of Approach of Thousands.

By JOE COLLIER

DOWNTOWN: INDIANAPOLIS today made ready with all manner of traps, noisemakers, and lethal weapons for the anuual winter-long

with

mildly batty in the last ‘few weeks ngregations of the wvirds in stiade .rees, brought word to ihe

Circle that the birds arz on the way, Ahotsands. upon thousands’ strong.

The starlings have spent the summer, as usual, in the wide open spaces of the country where there was plenty of food and lots of room to nest and rear more starlings. When winter comes, they get cold. and flock together. When it gets colder, they recall that in he Circle they are Protected from winter winds. and besides get some warmth from the. electric signs and flashers. : » 8 = THEY ARE LATE: this Year, acy cording to L. H. Coleman. He is in- charge of the Soldiers’ and ‘Sailors’ Monument which is home plate for starlings and: pigeons. The starlings ordinarily arrive in flocks about Oct. 10. Mr. .Coleman said thet, due to a reduced operating budget, the sights around. the monument will not be on as late at night this year and he believes that will reduce the starling population there. He said that the caretakers have been . equipped with slap. -3 boards which théy will use wh-" the main body of birds arrive. Starlings, which make noise lenough for birds twice their size, don’t like foreign noises. The North Side, during the last few weeks, has-been popping. with firecrackers set. off by residents in a vain effort to discourage them. One householder hired boys to set off firecrackers every evening, and actually paid them for it. The starling is a growing menace. More are born every year than die. The birds occasionally rear two broods in one season. The average life of the bird is eight years. 3 8 8 =

FIRST STARLINGS came to this country in 1890, and were released in the east. There were -100 of them. They were imported. from Europe. Mr. Coleman said that when starlings are chased from ' the

Monument they usually go to:

agement smiled a little and said

that starlings will find no com‘fortable reception this year. That's as far as the management would go in explanation. - Starlings are speckled in the winter time. They are good to eat, and starling potpie’is considered a delicacy by some,
