VETS BENEFIT Sardine Life Led By New York Playgoers Is Alarm ing, According to Nelson 1J. Lewis, Who is btudy . ing Problem. MOW VOUK, April 5. This "sur dino". lifo led by plnyeoerR who nightly struirijlo their way in crowd ed subways to the Great White 'Way is jrraphically described and charac terised as "almost alarming" in. a report issued by Nelson P. Lewis, formerly chief engineer of the City Hoard of Kstimnte and Apportion ment, recently retained to study the problem. When, smilinjr Broadway manag ers banc out the "Standing Room Only" sign, as they frequently arc doing nowadays, it means not even . stunning room in the subways, the report discloses, with sometimes as many as UOO passengers over a ca pacity load trying to get on every train leaving through each of the five tunnels that lead away from Times Sauare. Failure of the city to limit the number of public halls in any given area, as is, done in London and other old world cities, is blamed by the re port for tho condition. "Between 38th and 51st streets and between Sixth and Eighth avenues," says the report, "there, are no less than 78 theaters. Their combined seating capacity is 95,000. Forty four of them, with a capacity of 56, 000, are within a circle having a ra dius of 1,000 feet from the center of Broadway and 42nd street- "Assume for a moment that of these 5i,000 amusements! seekers, 35, 000 come from the Times Square station between 8:00 and 8:30. From this station Interborough and Brook lyn Rapid Transit trains run both north and south, while a shuttle train runs to the Grand Central station and the eas-t side Interborough line. If these 35,00 people were equally dis tributed between these five routes, it would mean that 7,000 people would have to be accommodated by each. Now if two-thirds of thisKotal ar rived between 8:00 and 8:15 and one third between 8:15 and 8:30, it would mean that 4,700 people would arrive from each of these five directions in tiie latter quarter of an hour. "The performances are over very nearly at the same time, and the period during whjch the crowds wish to reach the subway trains is con siderably shorter. Let us assume, however, that they will be obliged to occupy the same half hour in dis persing. A ten-car train, loaded to capacity, holds about 1,300, while with all the standing room occupied to the limit of decency, it will hold 1,000. If, then, such ten-car . trains left in each of these five directions every three minutes, it would mean that 910 passengers would try to crowd into these trains witHout re gard to the number already on them. "The conditions are actually even worse than this, as the shuttle trains while they start from Times Square station and may be available for theiBiVe yon poss. ssion of this close-in BYPROV SIONS IF RELIEF ACT WASHINGTON'.
