Bridges Will Go
On Stand Again
In Alien Hearing
Prosecution to Use Him
AS Witness Before
Defense Presents Its Case

SAN FRANCISCO, July
81. (UP) Harry Bridges,
longshore leader, will re-
turn to the witness stand
on Wednesday as a govern
ment witness in his own deporta-
ton proceedings, it was learned
today
Dean James NJ. Lands, trial ex-
aminer, has agreed to government
contentious that the alien" is to
be placed on the stand by the
prosecution before the defense pre-
sents its case, it was said unof-
ficially. He will make his ruling
when the proceedings resume on
Wednesday.
Defense attorneys have objected
to the move, claiming that the
procedure followed so far is that
of a regular court, and demanded
the privilege of using Bridges as
his own star witness. They claimed
that as the defendant, Bridges
could not be forced to testify
against himself, although subject
to cross-examination if placed on
the witness stand.
The government had planned to
close its case Wednesday with the
introduction of a digest of Com
munist pamphlets. but if given the
right to question Bridges, may re-
quire another two days of direct
examination.
1t is the government contention
that Bridges is subject to depor-
tation to Australia as an alien be-
cause he is member of the Com
munist party.
