The club has no ac- curate t of the names of the navy wives in town, so if any navy wife fails to receive a letter she is herein invited to attend the week- ly meetings, which are held on Fridays, 2 p. m., Jackson Square, U.S. 0. A very special invitation - to those navy wives, who signified an impetus, the club by Judge Lord Eugene Gilbert Lor- performed | and Estela Acevedo stood | 32, of hip drive | By RAY PEACOCK AP Features Writer NEW YORK, Feb. 23.--The lit- tle old lady clutching a stuffed paper shopping bag walked excit- edly up and down the platform of Queens Plaza subway station. Her train stood empty, its side doors yawning. “Doesn't this train go to Man- hattan?” She whimpered. “Doesn't this train go to Manhattan?” “No, lady,” said a young man in a gray slouch hat. “There’s been some trouble at the station ahead. They’re routing the train through to Brooklyn.” The little old lady shook her head, bewildered. That train al- ways had gone to Manhattan. But now it was going a different way, and she was in the middle of a confused, uncertain throng of pas- sengers. She wandered along, the bag hitting people. “Doesn't this train go to Manhattan? It’s a Man- hattan train, isn’t it?” Routine Disturbed A moment before nearly a thou- sand persons had been riding the train, their minds on their news- papers or their private troubles— or in a state of suspended anima- tion. The subway trance, it’s call- ed. And then, suddenly, the rou- tine was interrupted; Queens Plaza station was filled with a thousand personal problems — dates to keep, trains to meet. Subway employes — emergency crews -with car jacks and tools and strong portable lights — ma- terialized from nowhere. “What’s happened?” | asked each other. | Outside the Ely station, | ahead, there were police cars and an ambulance. The crews went to work — on a job! people } | never a pretty sight. Somebody | under a train. Interrupted Crossing The power was off in the third rail. Passengers stood about, some eager to see what had happened, some with their backs turned.

It’s| Harbor Defenses of Key West where Corporal Argo is stationed | They got him out — a man who] last September. & had tried to get from the east- bound platform to the westbound platform by crossing the tracks. He didn’t quite make it. But he was alive, curiously twisted on the stretcher, babbling incoher- tently. A doctor bent over him. Policemen and subway officials took notes. Then they carried him away, still babbling, trying to get up. And then a subway official yell- ed: “Okay, get this train out of here!” People scrambled back into the cars. Most of them were indif- ferent. They didn’t know the man. He didn’t touch their lives. Another train which had been standing in the dark tunnel pulled in at the station. The people gaped out of the windows and doors. “Get it out!” the subway officials | balled again. Trains went through, one after another. A trainman called out to a subway official, “Man or wo- ; man?” | “Whadda you care?” The trainman shrugged. wanted to know.” | “A man.” The fied. It happens a couple of times a| week — somewhere in New York. But this is a big town. It’s some- thing that happens only to the other people — until it’s you who see it for the first time.
