THE STATE JOURNAL, LANSING, MICHIGAN, FRIDAY, AUGUST 16, 1935 BILLJSEXPECTED Guffey-Snyder Measure, However, Faces a Number Of Tests in Congress 12 PASSAGE OF $37,500,000 HUDSON RIVER TUNNEL LINKS NEW YORK WITH JERSEY IN RECORD TIME WASHINGTON. Aug. 16 (INS) Enactment of the Guffey-Snyder coal bill, which attempts to mke the lngs of the blue eagle flutter again and may irame a constitutional Issue for the next campaign. Is freely predicted on Capitol Hill. As the measure was thrust before the house, with a final vote expected on Monday, friends of the measure were confident It will race under the wire.

The measure admittedly face high hurdles. There is serious opposition In the house, with leaders admitting possibility of defeat. It also must hurdle a senate legislative Jam, ith the membership anxious to go home. But senate leaders had made a definite promise that the measure will be brought to the floor. The Issues In the bill split both More and more Manhattan becomes an Island In name only.

First the Holland tunnels, then George Washington bridge linked New York city to New Jersey. Now the first mldtown tunnel under the Hudson river has been "holed through" to connect the Times Square area with the mighty Parades. Made passible by PWA funds, the tunnels will cost $37,500,000 when completed. Intended for vehicular traffic primarily, each of the two tubes will be 32 feet in diameter. Their Immense size can be Judged by comparing the workmen with the great steel circle being installed at the portal above.

It will accommodate several cars abreast. A mile and a third 7,000 feet under the Hudson goes the newest link between New York and the mainland. Working under terrific pressure to keep back the Hudson rivers water and quicksand, 8.000 men dig the opening, then line the monster hole with steel rings. Here they tighten bolts on the rings. This view down the ventilating shaft gives another vivid impression of the Immensity of the project.

On the temporary roadbed are two tracks for work cars. Here are brought the thousands of tons of excavated rock and mud to be hotted by powerful cranes to the river bank high above. At the New Jersey terminus, a similar scene gives evidence that the tunnels are being dug from both ends simultaneously. Four months ahead of schedule, after only 18 months' work, the actual "holing through" of the new link between New Jersey and New York was accomplished 102 feet below the surface of the river. Here Is one of the first workmen to crawl through the opening.

Although It now connects the two states, about two and one-half years will elapse before the first cars can make the journey. To dare seven men have been killed on the project. 'Christopher Columbus of Yukon' Is Welcomed at Alaska Stampede democratic and republican parties In the house, and may precipitate a bipartisan cleavage in the senate. President Roosevelt, toeether with oreanlzed labor, provided the driving force which blasted the hill from an unfriendly house ways and means committee. It was to come before the house under a rule allowing eight hours of general debate before amendments are considered.

Thus It seemed Impossible to bring the bill to the point of passage this week. President Roosevelt's request that the bill be approved despite "reasonable doubt" as to Its constitutionality, and the prediction of President John L. Lewis of the United Mine Workers that It Is the beginning of governmental control of all natural resource lnriustriei made the bill of major Importance.
