NEW YORK (.P What
will finally destroy New York
City?
Time has washed down the
drain the great metropolises of
many previous civilizations. And
in time this hubbub-on-the-Hud-son
probably will also be reduced
to the whisper that now echoes
from Sodom, Gomorrah, Nlnevah
and Tyre.
But how?
It is unlikely that atom bombs
will make it a wilderness again.
The pigeons may slowly cover it
up as the starlings are fast ob
literating Washington. D. C, or,
as some believe, the city may be
wiped out in a sudden mass out
break of violence by maddened
riders of the Long Island rail
road. Three-Hour Lunch
My own theory, however, Is
that Shangrl York will be done to
death by the three-hour Manhat
tan lunch. This is a spreading
epidemic that attacks our social,
economic and cultural structure
at the top.
The modern three-hour Man
hattan luncheon is the old simple
businessman's blue-plate special
raised to the stature of a Holly
wood production.
Its temples are the popular res
taurants of the midtown and fi
nancial districts places where the
waiters purr and the menu prices
look like a listing of the war debt.
Gathered around the table are
two to four people who ostensibly
(have met to undertake Important
; business, but whose real objective
lis to gossip, see, and be seen.
Ritual Begins
The ritual begins prompt!y at
12:30 o clock..
"Anybody going to have a
drink?" says the first man ten
tatively. "Think I'll pass myself."
"Pass," says the second, after a
pause.
"Well" hedges the third.
"Let's have one anyway," says
the fourth, mad because they
have all palmed the real decision
off on him.
So they all lap up a double
round of martinis extra dry.
And the first man orders a third
martini, wondering if the others
think he is drinking too much.
He bonders himself, too.
Cares Disappear
By then the havoc of the night
before and the cares of the morn
ing are gone. In a mellow glow
they go on to a half dozen oysters

lor clams for energy. Next comes
a huge plate of chicken au gratin
I with asparagus tips and a side or
I der of salad. Like women they
hestltate over whether to try a
I dessert. The answer Is always
'e.-." a chunk of pastry big
I enough to throttle a nlppo-
poiamus.
Then cpmes coffee and
"brandy?"
"Oh, why not?" and a double
round seems only sensible. Why
let a gooa lire die once it s burn
ing well?
The four gents by now are
cooking on 16 burners. If they
are radio writers they are pitying
Shakespeare. If they are bus
iness executives, they are agree
ing that J. P.Morgan would have
died a really wealthy man If he
hadn't made so many boners.
All Geniuses
A rosy glow wraps them In
goodwill, and they are all geni
uses together. Then someone
says:
"Good lord, It's 3:30!"
They waddle out and grab a
cab back to the office. There the
double martinis, chicken, oysters,
salad, coffee and French pastry
churn them Into a torpor. The
afternoon is lost. Until quitting
time they sag like sugar sacks
over their desks. They have to
stop off for a couple of quick
highballs on the way home to
Keep a live.
"Tomorrow I'm going to Just
have a snack lunch, they promise
themselves. But they don't. It's
bark to the same old trough for
another wallow.
Three-hour luncheons may take
a long time to destroy New York.
But they do a quicker Job on the
men who eat them.

Three States Agree
On Trucking Tax Law
SALEM UP Oregon, Wash
ington and Idaho have agreed
tentatively to recognize each
other's system of licensing com
mercial trucks, William E. Healy,
assistant secretary of state, de
clared. Healy said the agreement was
reached at Spokane last week
end at a conference of officials
of the three states.
Healy said the new agreement
provides that each state should
receive Its proportionate share of
license revenue from inter-state
travel In the three states.
Last year, Idaho cancelled its
reciprocity agreement with Ore
gon on grounds that Oregon's
truck taxing law penalized Idaho
truckers. The recent legislature
changed the law so that Idaho
now is satisfied.
Under the new agreement,
truckers will be able to operate
In any of the three states with
plates' bought In only one of the
states, provided that state is the
truckers headquarters.
Healy said California, Montana,
Utah, Wyoming and Arizona are
considering Joining the agreement.
Stubborn Ruhr Fire Guards
418 Victims Of Mine Blast
By TOM REEDY
KAMEN, Germany, Sept. 16.
(P) After three and one-half
years, a stubborn fire still guards
the tomb of 418 German minets
in this tiny Ruhr valley coal
town.
The men were entombed In Feb
ruary, 1946 by a mighty explosion
that never has been explained.
It was one of the worst mine
disasters in history.
The entire shaft was cut off.
Engineers flooded it in an effort
to halt the raging fire that fol
lowed the blast. Then It was seal
ed off to protect other veins.
Fire Never Stopped
The fire never has actually
stopped, officials .of the Essen
Steinkohle Werke said. Crews
have dug steadily from another
direction ever since to reach the
area and remove the bodies.
"It will take another year,"
said Director General R. J. Wern
lng. Eventually the bodies will be
extricated for burial in the vil
lage cemetery.
The disaster cost the company
an estimated ten million marks
($3,000,0001, without calculating
the unexplored coal veins which
I were blocked off.
The effect never has worn off
! in a community of only 8.OO0
fneonle. Trades union officials
said even now the young men
of Kamen are reluctant to be
come miners and risk such an
experience.
Werning said mine experts
have examined every possibility
to explain the blast that shook
the Ruhr countryside. They fi
nally blamed the weather.
"That is the only conclusion
we could reach," he said.
On that February night, the
Ruhr valley experienced a pecul
iar phenomenon. The air sudden
ly became heavy and hot. Then
it was split by a deafening thun
derstorm and a brilliant display
of lightning.
The mine men think some
thing In this peculiar combina
tion must have touched off gas
that otherwise would have been
harmless. The Kamen mine had
the reputation of being among
the safest In the Ruhr.
The United States has more
than a dozen communities named
Berlin.
CAR DRAGS BOY
PORTLAND, Sept. 15. l.
A 14-month-old boy, playing un.
der his father's car, was dragged
10 to 15 feet when the car started
up.
The father, Lt. Cmdr. Walter
P. Ramsey, drove away Tuesday
night without knowing that his
little boy was injured. He did
not learn of it for several hours.
