SAN BERNARDINO DAILY SUN. FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 8, 1940 Governor's Bloc in State Assembly Shrinks as Result of Election PAGE TWO OLSON FORCES DEPRIVED DF EIGHT VOTES Republican Senate Additional Hurdle but Administration Rout Not Complete (Bv Asociated Press) SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 7. California voters who went for President Roosevelt by a majority of more than 520,000 elected, in ths 80 state assembly districts, only 24 assemblymen classed as supporters of Governor Olson, who in his gubernatorial campaign pledged he would, if elected, "bring the new deal to California." On this premise, the governor's dependable voting strength has shrunk eight votes from the top of 33 which he mustered on some of the cardinal measures of his legislative program equalization and increased taxation, public ownership of central valley power outlets, labor and social legislation. Forty-one constitutes a majority.

Further, the governor faces the additional obstacle of a republican controlled senate, as in the past, NOT COMPLETE ROUT However, the election was not a complete rout for the state administration. Although all eight of the so-called "purgee" Democrats who survived the August primaries were reelected, the administration forces apparently succeeded in electing their candidate in the Shasta county dis trict, site of the Shasta dam, and defeated Sacramento county State Senator Roy Nielson, ranked as one of the special thorns in the administration's flesh.

The "no" vote held a slight edge in both measures, but the margin was slight. Proposition 3 provides for legislative control of the California penal system, in contrast to present constitutional provisions vesting the prison board with that right. Proposition 6 would allow superior courts to review the acts of state boards, in contrast to current statutes which provided that under certain circumstances such reviews may be granted only by appellate and supreme courts.

S. navy yard at Bremerton, and there usually is a considerable space between cars because of the delay for tolls. The demolition of the bridge came in dramatic, progressive stages. First a 50-foot section fell, then the center span and at last the two approaches were twisted and bent.

Huge cracks appeared in the ruins which touched the ground in several places. The approach at one end was almost ripped away from the tower. It swayed In the wind and spectators believed it would soon fall completely away. "Never did I experience the feeling of helpless horror that gripped me when I was trapped on the bridge," said Coatsworth, a World war veteran and Tacoma News Tribune reporter. LOST CONTROL OF CAR "Either Just as I reached the tow ers, or just as I drove past them, the bridge began to sway violently from side to side.

This was some thing new in my experience with the bridge. "Before I realized it, the tilt from side to side became so violent I lost control of the car and thought for a moment it would leap the high curb I jammed on the brakes and got out of the car, only to be thrown onto my face against the curb. I tried to stand and was thrown again. Around me I could hear concrete cracking." He began to crawl and once had to stop to catch his breath. His hands and knees were raw, bleeding and swollen from gripping the concrete curb.

Toward the last he risked rising to his feet and running a few yards at a time. "Those who stood on the shore and watched the bridge in its death agony still have no conception of the violence of the movement felt by one out beyond the towers," he said. Professor R. V. Van Horn of the University of Washington engineer ing school at Seattle said that the peculiar topography of the narrows, over which the bridge was built, virtually doubled the wind velocity, creating a sort of wind tunnel.

Since its opening last July the bridge had been nicknamed "Galloping Gertie" by travelers because of its strange weaving motion in the wind. The motion was easily detected and some persons became "seasick" while walking across. SEE BOTTOM OF ROAD For several months engineers had been working on methods to eliminate or minimize the sway. Only a month ago attempts to take the bounce out of the bridge went awry when a 23-mile-an-hour wind snapped four temporary tie-down cables from concrete blocks. The highway bridge, generally considered an important defense project, shortened the distance from 80 to 30 miles between Fort Lewis, U.

S. army post near Tacoma, and the Puget sound navy yard at Bremerton. The central span was exceeded in length by only the Golden Gate bridge in San Francisco and the George Washington bridge in New York. 'TERRIBLE THING' Homer Tilley, a mining engineer, saw the collapse from shore. "It was the most terrible thing I ever saw.

First the bridge swayed and ') Meet in Washington to greet President Roosevelt upon the station plaza and along Pennsylvania avenue to the White House. then tipped from side to side at an angle of about 45 degrees, We could feel the shaking on shore where we stood Then at last the center span twisted and ripped away with a roar and fell into the sound, It was like a nightmare when everything is haywire." Governor Clarence D. Martin sped to the scene shortly after the crackup and announced that the bridge would be rebuilt immediately. In addition to insurance carried on the bridge itself, the governor said the state was insured against loss of tolls. In addition to the Atalanta, two other coast guard boats were sent from Seattle to warn shipping.

There was no indication whether any ships were landlocked in the lower sound because of the navigation dangers at the narrows. The bridge was built with a 880,000 public works grant and a $3,530,000 Reconstruction Finance Corp. loan. The center section of the 39-foot roadway, lined with steel-buttressed concrete, rose in a high arch 195 feet above Puget sound. ENGINEER PUZZLED (By Associated Press) NEW YORK, Nov.

S. Moisselff, consulting engineer and designer of the Tacoma, Narrows bridge which fell into Pu get sound today, said tonight "I'm completely at a loss to explain the collapse." "I have no explanation, none at all," hesaid. "I'm unable to understand how it could have happened." GOLDEN GATE SAFE (By United Press) SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 7. Col lapse of the Tacoma narrows bridge today recalled the engineering triumph of San Francisco's Golden Gate bridge.

The Golden Gate bridge, with a center span of 4,200 feet, is built to withstand a hurricane that would swing it 21 feet out of line without harm. Since it was opened in May, 1937, the most severe strain was in the gale of early 1938. Winds that reached 100 miles an hour on nearby Mt. Tamalpais left the bridge unharmed. Completed at a cost of $35,000,000, the Golden Gate bridge has a single deck which stands 220 feet above high tide.

Its total length is 9,266 feet. Six mile3 from the Golden Gate bridge and parallel to it is the famous San Andreas fault, rupture of which caused San Francisco's 1906 earthquake. Before his death, Engineer Joseph B. Strauss declared the bridge could withstand an earthquake of twice the intensity of the 1906 shock and a hurricane at the same time. 4 Couple Reunited by Their Child's Death (Bv Associated Vmv) NEW YORK, Nov.

There nothing to fight over now," said Miss Howard.

his return yesterday to the capital elect. Riding In an open car they EXPERT TELLS (Continued from Page One) to pay it much attention. Previously I had seen two men near the car. They were deathly sick. They stum bled and crawled to the Tacoma end.

I looked in the car and saw a dog in there. Then I went ashore to get some more films for my camera, and walked out on the careening span again. About 10 minutes later, as the pitching, twisting and rolling increased, the dog occurred to me again. Since I love dogs, I staggered out to mid-span again and opened the door and tried to coax him out. The animal was sick and terrified.

As I tried to calm him, he bit me on a knuckle. Then I gave up the attempt, deciding that even if I succeeded in getting the dog out he'd probably fall overboard. So he stayed and plunged to death a few minutes later in his master's car. A few minutes later I saw a side girder bulge out on the Gig Harbor side, due to a failure, but though the bridge was buckling up at an angle of 45 degrees the concrete didn't break up. Even then, I thought the bridge would be able to fight it out.

Looking toward the Gig Harbor end, I saw the suspenders the vertical steel cables snap off and a whole section of the bridge caved in. The main cable over that part of the bridge, freed of its weight, tightened like a bow string, flinging the suspenders into the air like so many fish lines. I realized the rest of the main span of the bridge was going so I started for the Tacoma end. Behind me, the rest of the bridge plunged into the sound. By that time I was between the tower on the Tacoma side and the Tacoma shore.

I thought I was out of danger, but suddenly the bridge dropped from under me. I fell and broke one of my cameras. I got up and started, only to have the bridge fall out from under me again. The part of the bridge I was on had dropped fully 30 feet, due to the sudden shift of weight on the main cable. It was one of those things that couldn't happen once in a thousand years, a combination ol conditions that no one anticipated.

Japanese Unit for Navy Militia Urged SACRAMENTO, Nov. to "preserve the patriotic feeling" held by Japanese-American citizens of the United States, Dr. M. M. Nakadate of Los Angeles asked Governor Olson today for authority to organize a division or battalion in the California naval militia.

"In this country, particularly in California, are a group of patriotic American citizens of Japanese ancestry who are ready and willing to answer the nation's call to arms," he wrote. "They are finding it impossible to enlist in both the active navy as well as the naval reserve." He said it is Important to preserve their patriotic feeling and "prevent them from becoming sour towards our country or towards Americanism." The request was forwarded-to Adjt. Gen. R. E.

BDOSTOFDEBT LIMIT SOUGHT iniGi 65 Billion Ceiling Proposed by Morgenthau, Which Will Be Fought by Economy Bloc (Continued from Page One) president in his third-term drive; and 10 states and 82 electoral votes for Willkie. The popular vote, with 120,444 of the country's 127,245 precincts counted, was 26,265,134 for the president, 21,787,102 for Willkie. Of 36 contests for the senate, the returns showed 22 Democrats, 13 Republicans and one Progressive elected, a net gain of four seats for the Republicans. To the house, 266 Democrats, 162 Republicans, one Farmer Laborite, one American La-borite.

three Progressives and one Independent Democrat had been elected, a gain of eight for the Democrats. One contest was still undecided. Mr. Roosevelt reached the city early in the day from his Hyde Park home, and found that Washington had organized a welcome home party. Union station plaza was jammed with a crowd which police estimated at 50,000 to 60,000 and the national guard was out.

All the way from the station to the White House, crowds thronged the president's route, sometimes as much as 20 deep. Another crowd was waiting at the White House grounds. But before proceeding, Mr. Roosevelt stopped on the plaza long enough to express his thanks. WASHINGTON SECOND "My old friends of Washington," he said.

"It isn't as if we (himself and Mrs, Roosevelt) were new people. Your turning out to see us means that we are getting on pretty well. And we are very happy to be back here for a little bit longer. You all know how very much we like farm life, but of all the cities, we would rather live in Washington, D. than any place else." A little later, Morgen thau met newspapermen at the treasury and announced the coming request to congress for an increase in the national debt limit.

It will be urged, too, to make future issues of federal, state and municipal bonds subject to taxation, he said. At the capitol, Senator Byrd lost no time in making known his opposition to the debt limit plan. However, he approved Morgen-thau's proposal that future security issues be subject to taxes. Shares of major corporations, prices of federal and municipal bonds, together with those of leading farm crops, shot upward in the nation's markets in the wake of Morgenthau's statement foreshadowing huge government borrowing and spending. INFLATION SEEN Prices in the New York stock exchange, paced by U.

S. Steel, had the sharpest advance in more than a year. Gains of $2 to nearly $8 a share made it the widest gain since a surge of war buying on Sept. 5, 1939. Wheat in the Chicago pit rose 3 to 3s8 cents a bushel, the grain for December delivery touching 87 cents a bushel, coming within i of a cent of the six-month top reached a fortnight ago.

Cotton at New York rose 70 cents to $1.05 a bale, and wool, hides, rubber and most other staples traded in futures exchanges were higher. Despite the expectation the federal government would issue many more billions of bonds, the treasury issues were heavily bought in Wall street at sharply rising prices. Demand for several existing Issues was spurred by Morgenthau's statement he would ask congress to remove from all future issues the tax exempt feature. Some of the treasury bonds gained $10 and more per $1,000 pat-value, a number reaching the highest prices since they were issued. Many Wall street analysts saw inflationary implications in the secretary's statement.

(Inflation means roughly a larger increase in the circulating medium money and bank checks in a given period than the corresponding increase In the production of goods, resulting in rising prices.) MORE AID FOR BRITAIN The president's conference with Purvis stimulated speculation that aid to Britain may be increased soon. Purvis, himself, told reporters he was flying back to England, and undoubtedly would return soon with more orders for war materials. Morgenthau also attended the conference, and all three lunched in the president's office. Few thought Ickes' resignation from the cabinet would be accepted, He took similar action after the 1936 election. "I for one," he told reporters, "believe the president should be left free at the beginning of a new administration to reshuffle, recreate or do anything he pleases with his official family, especially in view of the mighty task ahead of him."

Russia Popular This Year With Everybody Hundreds Jam Red Embassy to Celebrate; Last Year Reception Was Boycotted (By United Press) WASHINGTON, Nov. 7. Washington's diplomatic corps, including high-ranking emissaries of the United States, Great Britain, Germany, Italy, Turkey, China and Japan, jammed the palatial Russian embassy tonight for a reception celebrating the anniversary of the 1917 Russian revolution.

In contrast to last year when the annual affair was virtually boycotted because of Russian-American differences and Russia's war on Finland, more than 900 persons, including Undersecretary of State and Mrs. Sumner Welles, attended the two-hour event. Virtually every embassy and legation was represented by its highest ranking envoys, and all shook hands warmly with Ambassador and Mrs. Constantino Oumansky. VODKA AND CHAMPAGNE When the reception was supposed to have terminated, hundreds stayed on to drink vodka, Russian champagne, whiskey and cognac and to eat from tables heaped with rich Russian foods.

The guests crowded the entire three floors of the gaily decorated embassy. Many found it difficult to get to the bar 'and tables because of the crowd. Persons high in Washington's swank society rubbed elbows with the diplomats, including the Italian ambassador, the Turkish ambassador, ranking Japanese, the Hungarian minister and the Finnish minister. Great Britain was represented by a large group of embassy officials. Lord Lothian, the British ambassa dor, is in London.
