CASE RESUMING

Unwilling Witness Delays
Hearing Defense
Making Plans

SAN FRANCISCO, Cal, July 81.
Delay of a rather unwilling de-
Tense witness in starting for san
Francisco makes it certain that the
Harry Bridges deportation hearing
would not be resumed before Wed
nesday. The witness, former spec

The defense charges that Dayle as
sembled the evidence to show that
Bridges is a member of the Com
munist party.
The defense plans to attack
Doyle's motives and to attempt to
show that coast maritime employers
are back of the move to deport
the Australian born CLIO leader.
Doyle said in st. Paul that he
will come to San Francisco only II
he is guaranteed adequate expens-
es. Defense attorneys said they
had already posted an adequate
sum but understood Boyle demand

last week.
The Government closed its direct
case against Bridges Saturday, but
may call rebuttal witnesses later

words of extrasts from Communist
literature were inserted into the
record instead of being read. They
were intended to prove that a Com

by force and violence.
Bridges admits that ne is an alien
but denies being Communist. The
defense expects to take about six
weeks to present its case. The hear

fore October.

to be a keen student Of law

Expert Reaches Fairbanks

CATION of Tundra

FAIRBANKS, Alaska, July 81
Alaska, which has yielded the Unit
ed States millions in metals and
other natural resources, has hopes
for developing a new natural asset
in it's vast tundra areas.
Peat is a new potential source of
wealth in areas which hitherto were
considered hopeless wastes.
DR.. A. P. Stokes, peat authority
from Washington, is here investi-
eating the extent and quality OF
huge deposits.
Residents of General Alaska are
viewing with interest the possibility
the investigation might result in
Alaskan deposits supplanting Am
erican imports from abroad which
exceed two million tons annually.
The wholesale price is about SIS a
ton. Chief use is for soil rehabilita-
ton and fertilization.

a definition satisfactory to all par

as dangerous as direct aggression.
All three Governments desire to
find a satisfactory method provid-

For instance" said Mr.. Snyder.
"the Pacific Match company finds
that SIS per cent of the output of
the firm is sold in an eastern mar

sumers would greatly aid the pay

THE results of the educational

buyers and consumers of Washing

Lima, Peru, May 14.-Dr. Hippo
Tito Larrabure, chief surgeon and
director of the Lima Maternity
Hospital, said a 5.96-pound boy
was born today to an Indian
child mother just over five years
old.
DR.. Larrabure said one of the

the world was witnessed by 60
doctors when DR.. Alexandra Bu-
Salleu performed Caesarean
operation to deliver the child.
The child was declared to be in
perfect condition. The child
mother also was said to be doing

''The birth certificate of the
child mother, Lima Medina,
shows she was born in Septem-
Der, 1S2F" DR.. Larrabure said.
Her age also is correlated by
the fact she still has her first
teeth and is not more than three
feet, one inch tall. Her features
are perfectly childish and her
mentality corresponds to that of
a child"
Il am sure this is unique case
in worldwide medical history
