PWA. BLAMED IN SPAN COLLAPSE
Loan Depended on Design, Chief Engineer at Tacoma Says.
TACOMA, Nov. 9 (U. P.).—Clark H. Eldridge, chief engineer of the Tacoma Narrows Bridge, yesterday laid blame for the span’s collapse upon the Federal Public Works Administration which contributed $3,530,000 toward financing the structure. “The men who held the pursestrings were the whip-crackers’ of the entire project,” Mr. Eldridge said. The New York engineering designers appointed made the plans for a similar long and slender susnension bridge in New York which 1 as displayed the same characteristic motion that wrecked the Narrows Bridge, Mr. Eldridge said. “Fundamental factors of design, which causes that motion, were exaggerated in our design and the Narrows Bridge was made even slenderer and lighter, in the interests of economy and cheapness,” he said. “But, in order to obtain Government money, we had to do as we were told.”

Simms:
Administration Urged to Help Britain More Before It's Too Late
Today the Administration is being urged to assume that job without loss of time. Revelation that Nazi sea-raiders are loose in the Atlantic, playing havoc with shipping between American, Canadian and British ports, is cited as proof that unless the situation can be got under control soon, American aid ta Britain may. be too late. What good will it do to turn over to Britain 50 ver cent of all the warplanes turned out in this country, it is asked, if the ships carrying them to England are sent to the bottom in mid-Atlantic? . Only bombers can be ferried ‘across on their own wings. Unable to invade England, Hitler is now believed to be planning to strike at the British Empire at several different places at once, thus scattering her fleet all over the map. Meanwhile he is said to hope to force her to her knees by cutting her off from food supplies and war materials from overseas. The Kaiser came within an ace of simjilarly defeating Britain during
Mr. Simms
By WILLIAM PHILIP SIMMS Times Foreign Editor : WASHINGTON, . Nov. 9.—Painting a somber picture of Britain's plight, powerful influences are working on the Administration here to extend vastly increased help forthwith. | - It has been indicated that the United States might soon take over the task of preventing the spreading of the war in the Pacific, thus relieving much-needed units of the British fleet for duty in the Atlantic and along Britain's threatened sea lanes.
the World War. Some historians say that but for American intervention the U-boats would have succeeded. Now, however, Britain's predicament is far graver than in 1917. Then France, Italy, Belgium, Japan and China were on her side, The Mediterranean was just a friendly lake. The Pacific offered no menace whatever. Today Britain is isolated from the continent of Europe. From Norway, perhaps, even to Dakar, Nazi searaiders are able to find shelter. The Mediterranean is closed to her merchant shipping. Italy and Japan are enemies while Spain is proAxis and Russia is playing both ends against the middle. In all the world, the United States is Britain’s one powerful friend. Willing as the British Dominions are, they simply have not got either the manpower or industrial equipment to contribute more than a modest amount of help. Accordingly ‘+ the Administration here is being pressed to take immediate steps in at least three directions: First, to extend more help to China. Second, to cut off Japan from all trade with the United States. And third, to send part of the United States fleet to the Far
East to discourage Japanese aggression in the South Seas.

MINTON DEFEAT RETIRES SNAPPY SENATE FIGURE
Some Critics Say Hoosier ‘Taiked Too Much’; Loyal To FDR Policies.
By DANIEL M. KIDNEY Times Staff Writer
WASHINGTON, Nov. 9.—Defeat of Senator Sherman Minton takes from the Democrats the snappiest Whip they have had in the Senate since the Wilsonian era of the late Senator James Hamilton Lewis of Illinois. \ During his early days here, Senator Minton universally was conceded to be the most promising of the first termers. He became a second Assistant Majority Leader under the then failing Senator Lewis, and
rounding up Administration votes. When Senator Lewis died, Senator Minton took over the fu. title of Assistant Leader and Whip. He was in the midst of all the
from his senior colleague, Senator Frederick VanNuys, conservative Democrat. But although he now is serving his second term, Senator VanNuys remains silent on the Senate floor. - Critics Say “Too Much Talk”
Not so Senator Minton. His critics claim that he “talked too much.” There was no stopping him. Friends pleaded with him not to take such foolhardy steps as introducing a bill to require newspapers to be sure everything was true before they printed it. This prought condemnation not only from the press but from the American Civil Liberties Union. The latter pointed out that such a a bill would violate the freedom of the press as guaranteed by the Constitution. So the bill was born and died with no effect except to tarnish the Senator’s shield. A more recent example of such rashness was his bar-roomlike prawl with Senator Rush Holt, Democratic lame-duck from West Virginia. They stood on the Senate Floor and exchanged such epithets as “liar,” “rat” and the like while other Senators sat blushing. The episode was as dignified as a dogfight. His Stock Slumped
It was such things which caused Senator Minton’s stock to slump somewhat before the end of his term. Yet his good fellowship and forth-rightness, particularly with members of the Press Gallery, brought him great toleration. At one time, Senator Minton received a long letter from a former Indiana University classmate, now a practicing psychologist in New York City, who urged that he calm down, quit fighting and not lose his temper. In reply, the Senator wrote: “I do not know how things have been .with you since we left school. But so far as I am concerned, I never got any place without fighting and I intend to keep it up.”
May Get Judgship
It was this spirit of “do-or-die” which endeared him to the New Dealers in general and President Roosevelt in particular. And it may result in the reward of a Federal judgship or other appointment from the latter. While he fought the Hatch Act and defended the Two Per Cent Club, Senator Minton was far from being a simon-pure political opportunist. He put the defense program above his future and when other Hoosiers in both the House and Senate (except Reps. William H. Larrabee and Eugene B. Crowe) opposed selective service he both argued and voted for it. “I believe that the people back home do not understand this issue and are generally opposed to the draft,” Senator Minton said at that time. “But I think that it is so necessary I want to support it if it is the last thing I ever do here in the Senate. “1 seems silly to me to vote for 15 billions for rearmament and then be afraid to vote for men to man it.”
Senate Will Miss Him
A World War veteran with A.E.F. service, Senator Minton pledged his service to his country on the Senate floor, should the need again arise, and also that of his two boys. His most bitter enemies would not deny that he meant it. The Senate will miss Senator Minton. So far as Indiana is concerned there will be a great silence in the chamber. Neither Senator VanNuys nor Republican Senatorelect Raymond E. Willis are as colorful fighters as Senator Minton. The state can count on two conservative votes.
Did Draft Beat Crowe?
Considerable significance is being attached here to the defeat of Rep. Crowe, Ninth District Democrat. Since he was one of the two Indiana Congressmen who voted for the selective service law, many are wondering if that brought about his defeat. ; Rep. Crowe was serving his sixth term here and when he left Wash-
trict he did not consider himself in any danger of defeat. Rep. Larrabee, the other Democrat who voted for the draft, was re-elected in the Eleventh District.
It's Non-Explosive
Somewhat sinister smiles were engendered here by an Indianapolis Times headline over a story of the new powder mill in Indiana. The headline " read: “CHARLESTOWN AWAITS BOOM.”
DIDN'T GET ENOUGH VOTES, MINTON SAYS
Times Special WASHINGTON, Nov. 9.—Senator Sherman Minton returned here today and took his defeat for re-elec-tion very philosophically. “I’m another lame-duck and just waddled in,” he wisecracked. When -asked the reason for his defeat, the Senate Whip and outstanding New Dealer declared: “As near as I can figure it out, I just didn’t poll enough votes.” The Wendell L. Willkie favorite son movement swamped him in Indiana, he added,

MNARY HINTED FOR FARM POST
Report Circulates Although F. D. R. Scoffs; Wickard Now Holds Job.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 9. — Although President Roosevelt has scoffed at rumors of Cabinet changes, a report circulated today that he would offer the post of Secretary of Agriculture to Senator Charles I. McNary (R. Ore),
minority leader of the Senate and lately the running mate of Wendell L. Willkie. Whether the Senator would accept is problematical. The present Secretary of Agriculture, Claude R. Wickard, an Indiana dirt farmer and life-long Democrat, was appointed when Henry A. Wallace resigned to campaign for the Vice Presidency. Indiana voted for the Willkie-Mc-Nary ticket Tuesday; Oregon, Mr. McNary's state, voted for Mr. Roosevelt. Other Cabinet rumors today included Mayor Fiorella La Guardia of New York to replace Henry L. Stimson as Secretary of War, and President A. F. Whitney of the Brotherhood of Railway Trainmen to replace Secretary of Labor Frances Perkins. 3
