MKCFORD MAIL TRIBUNE. MEDFORD, OREGON, FRIDAY, JANUARY 27, 1933. E HOBOES STUDY TECHNOCRACY! A oaoi ODOl OE301 00 tODOi STARTS BUILDING PAGE TWO BAY BRIDGE S Eight-Mile Series of Spans Will Link City With Neigh bor, Oakland Project Long Under Discussion Energetic San Francisco Is about to begin work on one of the largest bridge projects In history. Next month bids will be opened (or the construction of it series of mighty pans which will lln downtown Ben Francisco with Its neighbor, Oakland, eight miles across San Francisco bay. Frederick Blmplch. In a communi cation to the Washington, D. 0., headquarters of the National Geo graphic society, describes the pro posed bridge end the teeming city which will realise oo-yesr areara when the span Is completed. "Remember that San Francisco stands on a peninsula," he writes, "North and east of It spresds the great harbor: to the west the Pacific So most travelers reacn it oy waier. -Its Voice the Ferryboat Whistles. "San Frsnclsoo's voice Is the hoarse blast of ferryboats on the bay. That sound never cesses. Counting com1 muters. nearly 85,000,000 people i year pass through the vast Ferry building at the foot of Market street, a cltv within itself. "For years men have tslked of a bridge across the bay tylnc San Fran' Cisco to Oakland. Now it is as' sured a toll bridge, to be pnrt of the state highway system. An engineers' boat loiters near Verba Buena Island On board are world authorltlea on foundations and bridge bullldng. Deep borlnga are made to determine tne structure of the earth far under the bay. for this will be a colossal feat. Nearly eight miles long and rising to a height of 080 feet, the bridge will take five years to build. The estimated coat Is 78,000,000. "Planned as a double-decker, It will carry nine lanes of automobiles and two tracks of street cars. At present the bay ferryboats haul about four and a half millions of vehicles each year The new bridge will be able to handle 18.000 vehicles an hour, at the peak or traffic, and may carry as msny as 40.000,000 a year, the en gineers estimate. i Another rianncd for Golden Ofite "Still another bridge, higher but shorter, U also being surveyed, ac tually to span the picturesque Golden Oste Itself, that speotacular breach In the coast range through which, long ago, a great river flowed and which still forms the only flood gate for draining the vast Inland valley of central California. - "You can think of this bsy as a great turntng-around basin for ships of all nations. In a year, between 000 and 8000 vessels sail In and out of the Golden Oate. Once Cali fornia was the union's greatest wheat exporter; now, on boats from this bay you find the first 10 Items In point of vstue to be mineral oils, dried frutte. canned fruits, barley, cigarettes, automobiles, canned milk, eardlnes. redwood lumbor, and wheat flour. "Rlchsrd Dana, writing a century ago, said: 'If ever California be comes a prosperous country, this bsy will be the center of Its prosperity.' A bold prophecy then, for the land was empty. Now more than 1,780,000 people live about the bay In Ala meda, Berkeley, Oakland, San Jose, San Francisco In all the sixty-odd towns and cities that cluster on the peninsula and along the bay shores. "San Francisco Is one of our rich eat cities, percaplta. In real and per sonal property; yet one of the most democratic. Tou may see a fastidious old gentlemen buy flowers from a street vender, then climb on a tiny csble car for a five-cent ride to club or mansion Up the hill. At sea-food lunch stands millionaires stop for a crab-meat cocktail or a hot clam broth, rubbing elbows with newsboye "To boisterous San Francisco of gold-dust days, muslo and drama were bom In those noisy nights when shouting miners threw miggets at the twinkling feet of Lotta Crabtree, and Lola Montex danced "The Spider to forget her romance with Ludwlg. mad King of Bavaria. "Now new stars rise on bigger and better stages to entertain the grow ing city. In the civic Auditorium, where opera la sung, 11,000 people find seats: end the city's symphony orchestra ranks with America's beat. It has an opera association which supports a permanent ballet, chorus, and Its own scenery painters; Its Chamber Music aocley tours the na tion." . 1 S r - , r." ,'i 1 '""J 'I1' ' 'fayM " iuutu..uu.

R. s Advisors NEW YORK, Jan. 27, (AP) The World Telegram, In a copyrighted atory today, quoted Dr. Rexford Guy Tugwell, one of Preside nt-eleot Roosevelt's economic advisors In the outline of a seven-point national pro gram which the paper said would "very likely form the framowork of the Incoming administration's re storative policies." The Tugwell plan, as set forth In the story, follows: 1 Drastically higher Income and Inheritance taxes, particularly In the upper brackets. No sales tax. 3 A widespread public works pro gram, possibly entailing 10,000,000 000 at the start: direct relief to the Indigent unemployed; Intense stimu lation to seml-publlo works projects, such as slum clearance, through the R.

The farm allotment bill, whloh already has passed the house, Is expected to accomplish this for the farmer, 7 Rationalizing the Intergovern mental debt eittlements perhaps by remitting the Interest Items In the total sums due and by basing the debtors' capacity to pay upon their ability to transfer goods or money in relation to gold reserves and value. Also rationalising foreign trade ar rangements such as tariffs, and per haps seeking a vast new outlet for American raw goods and manufac tures In Russia.

By ROBUIN COON'S. HOLLYWOOD It may be more dif ficult than It sounds for a writer to work out a situation in which a giant octopus snd a diver fight to the death on the ocean floor, but translating that scene from words Into screen pictures Is a problem only directors know. Writer Jo Swerllng depicted such a scene as a thrill In an undersea story, and the script lay about a long time because of the dlfflcultlea this and other scenes presented. Not long ago he snd pirector Al Rogell had lunch together, started talking about It, and now "Beneath the Sea" r It may be called "Salvage" or something else Is In production. Filming of the picture will require a collection of apparatus foreign to most movls productions, and not the least Important member of the cast will be the live octopus. Fishing octopuses from their sea homes is not the complicated business it seems, but keeping one alive In captivity to date has been a real job. The lateat had Just succumbed, in its huge oceanstde tank, the day Rogell told. me about his new sastgnment. Diving bells and a special under water camera booth bottomless like an inverted water tumbler under which the cameraman wades about, have been ' constructed for the film, and all the neweet devices for under water photography will be employed. - Homer Scott, underwater camera man, who used to photograph Annette Kellerman, and more recently did the submarine acenes for "Tiger Shark." will be the olnematographer in a div ing suit, and handling the technical end of the production are Charles Plummer, oceanographer, diver, spec ialist In marine life I assume he will take hero Ralph Bellamy's place In the battle with the octopus and Fred Franks, who knows about air pumps oxygen tanks and underwater con struction. ' Besides Its views of undersea life, In natural color, the picture will of fer thrilling melodrama and romance that Is, If the demands of Its script csn be met and Rogell Intends to meet them "You don't really appreciate direct ing drawing room comedy, or dry land melodrama until you've tried a sory like this, In which everything la physical, massive, hard to stage," he suys. "If our plans work out, we'll havo a great picture. But It's going to be tough the toughest Job I ever tackled In pictures."
