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

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

sonal property; yet one of the most
democratic. Tou may see a fastidious

"Now new stars rise on bigger and

7 Point Relief Program
Drawn byF. 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. P. O.
8 Reduction In Interest and pub
lic utility rates.
4 Bound ourrency. No Inflation.
fl A budget balanced as to our
rent expenditures, with repeal of the
18th amendment a factor In raising
revenues.
6 Restoring the balance between
wholesale prices, especially for agrl
cultural products and retail prices
to consumers. 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.

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
