Dave Beck Is Connected in
 Bridges Case
Claim Made Seattle Labor Leader Financed De-
 porfdtion Hearing

SAN FRANCISCO, Cal, Sept. B. The head of the powerful Teamsters Union, Dave Beck of Seattle, was named yesterday as helping finance the deportation case against Vest ern CIO leader Harry Bridges.
 Defense attorneys said evidence of Beck's activity against Bridges was obtained in deposition by former Portland secretary of the Teamsters Union, Al Rosser.
 The deposition will be offered to- day as evidence.
 Rosser is serving long term for arson and labor terrorism. He de- clared that Beck ordered Teamsters Union money furnished to the Port land Police Department and to the American Legion. The funds were to be used to investigate Bridges and Communist activities.
 The man the defense charged built up the case against Bridges, former Portland attorney Larry Doyle, advised Federal Agents in Minnesota that he will leave for San Francisco today. Doyle will testify Monday as an adverse defense wit ness. Attorneys for Bridges charge that he assembled the evidence against Bridges in a move to dis credit the labor movement.
 Another rebuttal witness, Mrs. Cleo Wanazzi. testified yesterday that she saw Harry Bridges enter the back door of place allegedly used as Communist meeting place. She was a former waitress at Pierres Chateau. Bridges has testified that he has never been in the place.
 The defense presented several CIO union leaders to attack the story of Miles Humphreys, a former Conl- munist organizer and CIO business agent. Humphreys testified that he attended 20 or 30 Communist meet ings with Bridges. The defense wit. nesses said Humphreys was expelled from his union for advocating ter roristic attitudes and methods. One witness quoted Humphreys as de- claring at union meeting: T don't know what Harry Bridges policies are and I don't care.'

 EMERGENCY
President Orders Meas ures 10 Safeguard Neu-
 fraIify : Defenses

WASHINGTON, Sept. 8. = Presi- dent Roosevelt today proclaimed a limited national emergency to safeguard United States neutrality and strengthen the national defense.
 Emphasizing at his press confer ence that under no circumstances would the nation be put on a war time basis, the President said the proclamation would involve increas- es in the military branches but not to the extent of full authorized peacetime strength.
 The President said four executive orders would be issued by Attorney General Frank Murphy later author izing the following four steps under the proclamation:
 Increase Army, Navy
 1. Recruiting for the Army-call- ing back first line reserves and in- creasing enlisted strength, but to nowhere near the full 280,000 peace time authorization. The actual in- crease has not yet been decided upon.
 3. Increase Navy personnel-but not to the full extent of the 180,000 peacetime authorization. The Navy now has between 115,000 and 100000 men. Increases would also affect the National Guard and Marine Corps.
 Bring Americans Home
 3. Authorize the State Depart ment, under it's emergency funds, to use $500,000 to assist Americans to come home from the war zone.
 4. Increasing personnel of Fed eral Investigating agencies to pro- tect the United. States against sabo- tage, propaganda and other subvers- i've activities.

Rising Price 0fFoodsfuffs
 Condemned

WASHINGTON, Sept. 8.-Govern- ment officials and economists have joined in denouncing the sharp rises in certain foodstuffs as profiteering.
 The rush of housewives to lay in heavy supplies of staple groceries is termed as senseless and likely to further aggravate the situation.
