Meanwhile, police officials asser-

that Harry Bridges, West Coast c.

overthrow the Government had
brought fresh demands for his de-
portation.
Informed of the allegation. Mr.
Bridges said in San Francisco it was
the silliest thing I ever heard"
The charge was made by Chief of
Detectives John j. Keegan of Port
land, Greg.
"If this fellow Keegan or any one
else had even the slightest evidence
of the things he accuses they
wouldn't waste five minutes in ar
resting me-" Mr.. Bridges declared.
Representative Thomas, Republi-
can, of New Jersey, member of
the House committee, and Stephen
F. Chadwick, national commander
of the American Legion, expressed
dissatisfaction over the failure of
the Labor Department to deport Mr..
Bridges.
Held in Allegiance.
Deportation proceedings were in
stituted some time ago against the
G. I. o. leader native of Australia
but have been held in allegiance
pending Supreme Court action on
another case which Secretary of
Labor Perkins has contended was
parallel
Representative Thomas asserted
that unless Miss Perkins acted quick
ly in the Bridges case after the Su-
preme Courts decision, he would
institute impeachment proceedings
against her. Chairman Dies of the
committee also suggested recently
that Miss Perkins might be I'M
peached because of her handling of
the Bridges case.
In an address prepared for a
meeting of the New York State Eco
nomic Council at New York today,
Chairman Dies upheld the House
committee against critics who de-
clare it has heard testimony from
unreliable witnesses.
Will Discard Some Testimony.
''The committee does not vouch
for the credibility of all the wit
nesses it hears any more than a
court" he said. Some of the teSti-
mony we will discard as false or
biased, or exaggerated. None of our
findings will be predicated upon such
testimony or upon opinions or
'hearsay."
