Stephen F.. Chadwick. national
commander of the American Legion,
today rejected Secretary of Labor
Frances Perkins arguments for de-
laying deportation proceedings
against Harry Bridges, alien west
coast CIO leader, and renewed the
Legion'S demand that Miss Perkins
act promptly.
In response TO a previous demand
from Chadwick, Miss Perkins re-
Gently wrote him that the labor

ingS in Bridges case until the Su-
preme court rules on the pending
Strecker case involving the question
Of whether membership in the Com
munist party is sufficient cause for
deportation.
Replying to Miss Perkins in a
letter made public today, Chadwick
contended that many aliens have
previously been deported because
they were Communist members,
that the Bridges and Strecker cases
were not parallel; that the depart
,nent erred in trying to make the
otrecKer case conclusive test is
sue and that the question of whe-
Vner Bridges is or is not a member

Roosevelt Leads

Of Thanksgiving
Refugee Problem Mars

At Warm Springs

w ARM SPRINGS, Ga,

Mr.. Roosevelt. who tonight will
dine with the infantile paralysis
patients of the Warm Springs
foundation as he has done in years
past, spent his holiday awaiting
further reaction to the Jewish refu-
gee question after his formal state
ment last night.
In that statement he said that
"it is reported that the number
of refugees to be permitted in
Palestine will be materially in
creased. And in particular that
many children and young people
will be given refuge there. / have
no means Of knowing the accuracy
Of this report but 1 hope that it
is true"
Observers took it for granted that
the Presidents expression was i'll
the nature of an inferential hope
that Britain would greatly increase
the quota of Jewish immigrants
to the Palestine homeland.
Mreover, it was interpreted as
a notice that in spite of his SYM
pathetic interest in the refugee
problem that there was no immedl-
ate hope the administration would
sponsor any movement in the next
congress to remove present immi-
grafton quota restrictions.
