(AP) The elements won in the battle for the $6,400,000 Narrows bridge, and the floor cf the world's third-longest suspension span lay in Puget Sound today.

But man and his science will try again. Agitated and twisted by a wind of gale- proportions, the colossal structure, which only four months ago was dedicated as a monument to engineering science, crumbled, then collapsed with a mighty roar yesterday into the white-crested waves of the sound. Dog Refuses Aid, Dies There was no loss of human life. Two men an engineer and a newspaperman who were on the bridge when it began to twist violently, miraculously escaped, even as sections of the floor began hurtling into the waters 200 feet below. Tubby, a cocker spaniel riding in the car with Leonard Coats-worth.

Tacoma newspaperman, was not so fortunate. Coatsworth had to abandon his car to save his life. And the terrified Tubby nipped at the knuckles of Prcf. F. G.
