Dy the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
Senator Copeland, Democrat, OF New
York proposed last night a broad in
vestigation into "subversive activities
At sea-" The inquiry would be con-
Quoted by special Senate committee
financed with $25,000.
The New Yorker made his an
nouncement shortly after he had pre-
dicted that the Labor Department
would order deportation Of Harry
Bridges, West Coast maritime union
leader.
Mr.. Copeland said he would offer a
resolution in the Senate and that 1t
would cover "subversive' activities In
the merchant marine and Navy.
He said evidence in the Bridges
case and other documents before his
Senate Committee on Commerce indi-
Gated searching investigation" was
needed.
Grounds for Deportation.
Confidential data in the hands Of
the Government, Senator Copeland
asserted. indicates that there is suffl-
cient legal ground to deport Bridges,
who was born in Australia.
The Senator said his committee has
. "photostatic copy of what is alleged
to be Bridges membership in the
Communist party under the name Of
Harry Dorgan"
The Labor Department, Mr.. Cope
land added, was gathering evidence to
show whether Bridges was Illegally in
the country and whether he had en-
gagged in subversive activities"
Il am satisfied the department is
making a genuine effort to get the
truth" Mr.. Copeland said, adding that
Bridges should have been, and
should be deported,"
The New Yorker said the depor-
tation would make for peace of the
West Coast maritime industry
Bridges name has been mentioned
frequently before the Senate group
while it studied maritime labor un-
rest
Linked With Communists.
Mr. Copeland said that an afidavit
obtained in December Of last year by
Charles c. Blair chief of police at
Beverly Hills, Calf. linked Bridges
with Communist leaders during West
Coast labor strikes.
Quoting from this AFFIDAVIT, Mr.
Copeland said:
Bridges had been a member Of
the Communist party since 1894 on.
Bridges had no book in the
party, but he lost book, which was
In the name Of Dorgan"
The Senator said the anidavit
linked Bridges with numerous Com
munst leaders. including several who
attended the Seventh World Congress
OF the Communist International In
Moscow in 1895.
Mr.. Copeland said other material be-
fore the committee showed tha: re-
ports on the West Coast strike were
made at the world Communist session.
The Senator said both East and
West Coast maritime troubles had
been linked to Communist leaders
Il think there is no question that
eome Of the leaders of the National
Maritime Union (afiliated with the
Committee for Industrial Organi-
zation have intimate relationship
with the Communist party" he said.

armies in headlong retreat.
Ofacial insursent dispatches de-
scribed the fighting as "veritable
butchery" of government troops. Gov
ernment advices said there was
great calm" in military circles and
added that government forces were
resisting desperately"
Yesterdays advances by Insurgent
Generalissimo Francisco Frances war
riors won them So new positions and rs
villages and relieved partially a threat
against the insurgent eastern COM
munications.
Madrid-Valencia Link Menaced.
The fighting was along the eastern
fringe Of the insurgent salient pointed

tween Valencia. Mediterranean port,
and Madrid. Teruel, 100 miles east
of Madrid, was the southern tip Of the
salient until it was conquered by gov
ernment forces in December.
Early today the front extended
north from Teruel to a point few
miles due west of Montalban, with a
17-mile advance marking the longest
point OF the insurgents gains, which
have given them nearly 400 square
miles Of territory in four days.
Airplanes pursued fleeing govern
ment troops. machine-gunning thou
sands along congested roads. the in
surgents reported. In air battles near
Teruel. insurgents said they had shot
down seven Martin bombers and one
Curtis" Government sources asserted
six insurgent craft had been shot
down.
Foreign Troops Go for Rest.
Members of the governments Inter-
national Brigade, weary after a month
on the Teruel front, passed through
Valencia in the last few days on their
way to rest camp.

were not made public, but it was
known that SIS requirements had been
ordered from training camps to bring
the unit to the normal strength Of

were injured, said the Teruel fighting
was more intense than any the unit
mad seen since it participated In the

complaints of delay by the District
government In making inspections of
electrical wiring installations also took
up part of the morning session.
Chairman Thomas indicated it mad
peen brought to the attention Of the
subcommittee that there have been
instances in which inspections had
not been made within IL years after
inspection fees had been deposited as
required.
Senator Thomas instructed District
officials to submit recommendations
TO correct any delay that may pe

The subcommittee was told there
are not enough men in the inspection

Park Filtration Plant during periods
OF peak consumption in what ID
known as the first high service area.
In further explanation Of the esti-
mates, the Budget Bureau stated:
But the engineers of the Water
Department and those of the United
States Engineers ofnce in chsrge OF
water supply feel that this condition
must be remedied as soon as possible
by the construction Of a reservoir
relatively near the Mcmillan and
Bryant plants, for the storage Of Al.
tered water in off-peak periods tc
serve this area during peak periods
They represent that such a reservoir
will not only remove the danger OF
overlooking the Mcmillan filters, but
also lead to more efficient operation
by reducing the peak demands on both
the Mcmillan and Bryant street plants
"Ihis item was considered for IN.
clusion in the 1899 budget. At tha,
time. however. negotiations had moi
been reached between the District o1
Columbia government and the Boarc
Of Commissioners Of the Soldiers
Home which would allow the location
Of the reservoir within the Soldiers
Home grounds. said location offerins
the only suitable site at the proper
elevation. Mere recently, such nego.
tiations were concluded and in order
not 30 delay unduly the construction
Of the reservoir this estimate Of ap.
preparation is now SUI 1mitted."
