FARMERS view UN.AMERICAN
INVESTIGATION With
UNUSUAL INTEREST

For during the Pacific coast hear
hearings, according to Congressman
Martin Die sof Texas. chairman of
the house committee, a searching
inquiry will be made into charges
that Bridges is an active Commu-
mist, carrying out a program of
sabotage and class warfare die
tated and directed by Communist
agents, bent on overthrow of Am
erican government.
The committee also will probe
charges that officials of the United
States labor department aided
Bridges in escaping deportation
several months ago and that he
was contacted at that time by an
immigration service official who
called him into his office. where
he read to him a confidential let
ter of instructions on his future
behavior"
And the congressional investiga-
tor board will likewise have before
it, when it meets here, report of
its special investigator, Edward F.
Sullivan. charging that large per-
centage of the strikes which have
paralyzed California and other Pa
cific coast states were melted by
Communist leaders in the CIO.
The charge has been made re-
peatedly-and this time, apparent
ly, by persons who are prepared to
back up their accusation with fac
tual evidence-that Bridges is an
active member of the Communist
party under the name of "Dorgan"
and that Soviet influence has been
in the background continuously
during the strikes which have been
directed by Bridges on the Pacific
coast. ...
And the further charge has been
made before the house committee
now meeting in Washington, that
one Irving N. Markheim, a Los
Angeles Communist VINO asserted
ly had knowledge of Bridges Com
munist connections, was offered
$500 and expenses by a Los Angeles
attorney to go to Ensenada, Mex,
and stay there until Bridges was
no longer under fire.
California farmers-and the peo-
pie of California generally - will
welcome a showdown on these
charges.
That Communists and other rad
icals have used the CIO in many
instances for their own purposes,
seeking to fan the flames of dis
content and TO incite acts of law
lessness which fall into the pattern
of revolutionary tactics, has be-
come clearly evident during the
hearings in Washington.
If Harry Bridges has been the
spearhead of that attack on Ameri-
can government, and if Bridges,
the alien, is also a Communist, his
deportation should be carried out
without delay and without pussy
footing on the part of the United
States labor department.
If Bridges is not a Communist,
then he certainly should welcome
a chance to clear himself, rather
than to fall back on the aid and
comfort of un-American officials
in the employ Of the labor depart
ment, the immigration department,
or any other department.
California farmers, who have seen
their crops rot on the docks, or in
the fields. while Bridges arrogantly
tied up Pacific coast shipping and
boasted that he would soon march
inland, cannot be placed in the
category of "red-baiters".

 According to the letter from Mrs. John D. Moynahan, the former Miss Helen Hurley, secretary of the Wa terbury Chamber of Commerce, the floor was made by the American Brass Co.,, of Waterbury. The floor, Mrs. Moynahan writes, is made of solid sheet of copper formed in the shape of a horseshoe and the decorations of the room are in cop per tones.

 How to face this problem of in- creasing production and a declining market is one of the major features of the annual convention of the Connecticut Vegetable Growers asso- citation which will be held in the Willimantic state armory on De- cember 2 and 8. Experts in their re- spective fields have been secured from throughout the east to ad- dress the convention on practically every subject of primary interest to vegetable culture.
 Prof. A. E. Wilkinson, extension vegetable specialist of the Connec- ticut State college and secretary of the committee in charge of general arrangements believes that the sit- uation is so serious that the best minds available must be put to work. With this in mind practical growers as well as scientific men hav3 been secured to speak Prof. Wilkinson, however, is pointing out to Connecticut growers that even though the best authorities may be secured, maximum benefit cannot be derived unless the majority of the growers attend the session and par ticipate in the discussions.
 Speakers who have been secured include Dr. George B. Clarke, mar keting specialist of the Connecticut

Even her friends gave her five CT at the most ten years = party strife, the old Polish spirit of in- dividualisrn, would destroy her, 1t was believed, if her enemies on all sides did not.
 But Poland still lives. The na- tion has held together through bitter crises. its greatest triumph this very holding together. For the good of the state, is the watch word of the nation, as the policy slowly elnerges that will provide Poland with the mission" her de- vout, romantic nature requires. At its heart is the ideal of making Poland a strong, Christian bul- wark, a refuge for Christian civil lization ernbattled on both sides of her borders. In peace her policy will flourish, but if war comes that policy will only become the more fixed. For Poland, independent for twenty years, is still on the march, determined to be what she has al- ways been, the great western eiyi- liking agent on the frontier of the east.
