NCISCO, Oct. 31.—In the three years since pened, 27,000,000 cars have crossed the San kland Bay Bridge. Auto traffic over ge is just a shade less heavy than through nd Tunnel in New York. : There have been 160 traffic aceidents. Fight people have been killed in smashups. Considering the traffic, they say this record is good. The wind Blows mightily across the bridge, and it is often hard to drive in a straight line. Friends tell me many collisions are caused hv this. The bridge people say no. Most. of the accidents are after midnight, in cars going east.

Grandmother, 3 S home was less than a block away from ours, was £5 ‘subscriber to the Tribune, the German daily run by Philip Rappaport, Leo's father. It was my daily chore to keep the two papers in circulation. Every noon when School 6 let out, I called on grandmother =p brought her a copy of e Tribune home with me. On my way back to school after dinner, I again drepped in on grandmother and brought her our copy of the Telegraph. All of which puts me in the rather enviable : position of giving you the lowon eafly German journalism in Indianapolis. Bo two papers, I remember, were very serious. Grim is the word. Only once a week—on Sundays, of ‘days—was there any sign of humor. ‘On ‘that day . Rappaport ran a column called “Plauderei” in g. whith he allowed his pen to skip the surface of sehse * | and poke fun at people. Mr. Seidensticker went a bit } farther. Indeed, he went so far as to give the Sunedition of his paper an entirely different name. - he couldn't have picked a prettier or more. transmt name to show what he was up to.

Most real believers in democracy consider it especially necessary now to expose and root out subversive alien influences. That makes all the more tragic the methods being used by Chairman Dies, which involve the smearing of the Roosevelt Administration. In order to arouse the public sufficiently to press the House to vote a new appropriation—which would not be a matter even for debate if the investigation of unAmerican activities had been id with reasonable judgment—Chairman Dies ing to raise the national gooseflesh.

? The bridge police make about 90 arrests a month. In August they haled in 50 drivers for speeding. 14 for drunkenness, 12 for reckless driving, eight for disobeying bridge traffic rules, one for a stolen car, and 13 for miscellaneous offenses.

There have been two suicides from the Bay Bridge. Would-be suicides don’t usually choose the Bay Bridge. cops usually catch them before they get far e ough

out to jump. ”

What's the Rush?

If you've ever driven over the bridge you may have noticed those rows of wire at the toll station, sticking up from the road like cat’s whiskers, where your axle will brush them.

Well, they're there because cars seem to pick up a great deal of static going across the bridge. And when the toll collector reaches out for your money, and your hand touches his, the sparks jump and give you both a shock. | It got so bad that women drivers were writing in and complaining about the toll collectors. carrying a Joke too far. So they put up these cat’s whiskers to “de-static” the cars. Traffic is terrifically heavy during the going-to-work hour in the morning. People have their Shange ready. and just drop it into the collectors’ ha as they roll by. It is all very swift and efficient. | But one morning, in the middle of the rush, came an’old broken-down jallopy full of farmers from North Dakota. When they got to the toll station, Papa shut off the engine. Then he pulled up his overalls, took off his shoe, rolled down his sock, unpinned a big safety pin and, from somewhere down in his sock, pulled out a $10 bill. When he got his change he went through the whole operation in reverse. _At long last, he cranked up the engine and chugged away. The whole thing took about five minutes. The people behind .nearly went crazy.

Father, I remember, always picked the supper ‘table to tell what he thought of the Tribune. And it always ended with father’s branding Mr. Rappaport as a So cialist, than which there was nothing worse in his opinion. Before he was done he always: brought grandmother into it, too. He said grandmother could keep her old paper for all he cared. The amazing thing about it was that father lived long enough to see most of Mi. Rappaport’s outlandish ideas enacted into laws. Even then father wondered what the world was coming to. On one point, h wever, the two editors agreed. They ran the same . nd of advertisements. For the most part, they were pretty grim, too. Even on Sundays. ”

Solring: a Mystery

The ad that fascinated me most, I remember, was always on the last page—in thé first column, as a matter of fact. It was headed “Hebammen” and consisted of a series of little one-inch ads incorporating in every case the name and address of a persen. Not a thing to tell you what business they were in. For a long time it ‘had me completely baffled. In the first place there were no illustrations to help a boy hungry for information. The German undertakers, for instance, always had the picture of a horseless black hearse in their ads to tellyyou what they were up to. Even more steriols was the fact that all the names: noted under. the eryptic heading were those of women. At a time, mind you, when women were supposed to be at home tending to business. Certainly not in the advertising columns of a newspaper. When my curiosity got the better of me, I remember taking up the subject with mother, She said, the advertising women were nurses which was more or | less the truth, but certainly not the naked truth. The] naked truth came out later when, in the course of my | "enlightenment, I learned that the word “Hebammen” was the German connotation for midwives. It was the only time I can recall that mother tried to fool me.

By Charles T. Lucey

Times Special Writer VV ASHINGTON , Oct. 31. —When the order to cease firing rolled out over the mud of France from the Vosges Mountains to the English Channel 21 years ago this November, America went mad— joyously mad. The United States had got out lightly, with its 126,000 dead and 234,000 wounded in a slaughter of 8,500,000 killed and 21,000,000 wounded. The country had known no Marne nor Verdun; it had no thousands of acres of shell-holes

and naked tree stumps, and no giving up for years afterward pieces of skulls and skeletons and rusted helmets and rotted old uniforms. It could bring its boys home in victory, and that was the end. It looked that way then. We had spent, on Col. Leonard Ayres’ estimate, about 22 billion dollars through April, 1919, and while it seemed a huge public debt, there was little worry but that a country with our momentum could take it in stride. Collect the war debts, pay off the Liberty loans and coast in—to all but a few, probably, it appeared about that simple to this nation bursting with war-built prosperity and bulging with mighty victory. But it should be a wiser Uncle Sam today, a more internationally sophisticated one, who studies/the still-mounting costs of such a “victory,” who under= stands these costs make mere wartime bills for guns and munitions look - puny, who sees the world wasn't made safe for democracy after all. And, say Army officers here as a new war rumbles in Europe, it should be a more: enlightenedly selfish Uncle Sam today, who must know that modern war allows no victory and who sees the aftermath of war crushing out the. pride of mere military achievement, ” ” ” HE United States didn’t stop paying at the Armistice. Government men in a dozen different departments point out today the mountainous costs and losses involved in these aftermaths of the war: . Failure to collect $13,000,000,000 of war debts. Expenditure of some $4,000,000,000 in World War veterans’ compensations and pensions. Expenditure of nearly another $4.000,000,000 in 'soldiers’ bonus. A $600,000,000 outlay for a veterans’ vocational rehabilitation program in which there was much lost motion. About $200,000,000 spent for veterans’ hospitals. Total veterans’ expenditures to date of $11,792,000,000.

mean a loss of billions of dollars to the nation.

Economic dislocation in many industries which helped breed a decade of the most serious depression in the country’s history, and which in agriculture especially brought widespread distress” which is lasting to this day. All that and vastly more. The costs are not ended in 1939. They run on and on, mounting in some cases rather than diminishing so that some Government officials and economists agree that it virtually is impossible to place any accurate estimate on the United States’ total: payment for ‘entry

into the war on the sidé of the. of

Allies in 1917..

‘There is the system of veterans’ hospitals, for instance, where 21 years later lie the sick and blind and broken men who came out of Belleau Wood, Chateau. Thierry and the Argonne on stretchers. A responsibility resting on the: citizenry to provide for disabled soldiers has been recognized in this country since a veterans’ aid law was enacted in Plymouth Colony: in 1636, but it tock the World War to produce a nationwide governmental -hospitalization plan such as the United States has now. The veterans’ pension Svslet, expanding steadily for decades after the Civil War under the pressure of the politically potent Grand Army of the Republic, already had become a tremendous tax burden before the World War began. But there was no veterans’ hospitals at all, as such. | True, there were soldiers’ homes, but there were only 10 of these,

and what hospitalization there

was came only as a part of these homes.. In 1916, the year before this nation entered the World War, they housed only about 17,000 veterans and cost less than $4,000,000 to operate. Today there are 84 veterans’ hospitals and homes, and the $200,000,000 spent in building

them since the war still has not v

provided all the facilities deemed to be necessary.

There still are about 17,000 beds.

in the soldiers’ homes, but nearly 55,000 beds are in hospitals built since the war; 2700 beds in Army, Navy and other Government hospitals are being utilized by the Veterans’ Administration, and

provided in new veterans’ institutions under construction. And still they build. If the laws for veterans’ aid are not liberalized further, according to Brig. Gen. Frank T. Hines, Veterans’ Administrator, the present. goal of 100,000 domiciliary and hospital beds may be. reached in 10 years. of veterans’ relief is constantly onward and upward, and there is no assurance thereymay not be a. new drive for a further expansion even before today’s goal is reached. ; : It will cost an estimated $30,"000,000 more to buiid up to the 100,000-bed level. ” ” ”

HERE in 1916 the country was spending about §4,000,000 on its veterans’ institutions, in 1939 it spent nearly $51,000,000. Of this $45,650,975 was spent for maintenance of the hospitals built since ‘the last war and $5,218,000 for soldiers’ homes.

reached the sinzzering total of x

$23,000,000,000. This sum is not" the cost of our wars, but the cost of one phase of the aftermath of ‘war. It represents the cost of veteran aid alone, and takes no account of the dislocation of the country’s economy. Consider these figures: The .United States spent $9, 706,000,000 up to Aug. 1, of this year on compensation and pensions for wars prior to the World War. "It spent $3.859,000,000 on World War pensions and -compensation.

More than 6700 checks, sighed by Uncle Sam, go out each month to soldiers ‘of the Indian wars or ~their dependents. Forty years ‘after the SpanishAmerican War, pensions are being paid 221.882 veterans of that war or their dependents. Only 3231 of this number result from disability received in that war. Compensation benefits are going to 441.863 service-connected World War disability cases and te 65,830 non-service-connected cases. There are 44,000 pensions being paid in “regular establishment” or peacetime benefit cases, and altogether 842,000 checks go out monthly as a result of all past wars. The total for last June was just short. of 35 million dollars. Meanwhile, advancing age .increases disability among veterans and turns expenditures steadily upward.
