Germans Admit Shortage
OF Fuel in Paris Area
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press
PARIS Via Berlin), Feb. s
(DelayedD Absence Of workmen.
flooded Lorraine coal mines and
crippled transportation have made
fueling of the Paris district ex-
tremely difficult this winter, a Ger
man economist admitted at a press
conference today
But he said Germany was making
long range plans to keep dwellers
of Paris and Northern France
warmer next winter.
The Lorraine mines. which were
abandoned by the French Army last
June, were quickly flooded and now
are only up to 20 per cent of their
productive capacity, he said. Many
other coal mining sections are up
to only 80 per cent.
A limited number of private homes
and apartment houses in Paris are
heated. but the economist en-
phatically denied the shortage was
due to absorption of coal by the
occupying German forces.
Only 8 per cent OF the French
coal production is used to heat mill
tary barracks, hotels and other
buildings used by the German
forces, he said.

At Son Francisco
March 81
BY the Associated Press.


Deportation proceedings against
Harry r. Bridges, West Coast labor
leader, were ordered by Attorney
General Jackson this afternoon on
the basis of an F. B. L report that
Bridges was a Communist.
The Attorney General said that
a warrant of arrest would be issued
and served on Bridges and that
hearings would be held al San Fran
cisco beginning March 81. Bridges,
head of the c. I. o. Longshoremen's
Union of the Pacific Coast, is an
Australian.
The F. B. 7. investigation, on
which a report was made to Mr..
Jackson by J. Edgar Hoover. F. B I.
director last November declared
Bridges was a Communist and that
the Communist party advocated
overthrow of the United States Gov
ernment.
Mr. Jackson said this evidence
provided a basis for legal action
under the Alien Registration Act
of 1910.
This action does not imply that
the department has passed on the
merits of this case" Mr. Jackson
said in a statement announcing the
proceedings.
The report of the Federal Bureau
Of Investigation was purely factual
and quite properly, contained no
conclusions or recommendations"
Evidence Faxed, Bridges Said.
At the time the report was given
TO Mr. Jackson. Bridges commented
that the F. B. I. evidence was
faxed" and had been obtained by
bribery and intimidat ton
On previous occasions he has de-
MED that he was a Communist
At a West Coast hearing held by
Dean James NJ. Lands of Harvard
! law school by direction of Labor
Secretary Perkins. Bridges also said
/ that while there were Communists
! In the labor movement he had
never heard" them advocate the
violent overthrow of the Govern
ment.
IF I did" he declared. Il would
certainly oppose them. openly, pri-
vately or any other way"
In his statement Mr.. Jackson
commented on the Lands proceed
ings. He said that as the law stood
then. Dean Lands was concerned
only with the question whether
Bridges had been affiliated with an
organization advocating violent

had instituted deportation proceed

Dean Lands conclusion" Mr..
Jackson stated was that the evil
dence failed to establish that Harry
R Bridges was either a member Of
or affiliated with the Communist
party of the United States al the
time deportation proceedings were
instituted.
Since that time. however" Mr..
Jackson continued. in the Alien
Registration Act of 1910. Congress
enacted legislation to make
deportable an alien who at any time
IN the past has been member or
affiliated with a SubverSive organi-
zation as described in the act"
Mr.. Jackson then related that hs
ordered the F B l. investigation in
August. 1910. and that lin the light
of new and additional evidence con-
tanned in the report and in the light
of the new provisions of the law, I
have approved the institution Of
