up those surpluses his financiers have been telling us about.
 One. Third Present
 The newspapers told us that the additional water supply commis- sion held its quadrennial meeting last Friday and approved the bond issue. On reading through the &C., count of the meeting, 1t appears that there was some exaggeratlon there. Only one-third of the com mittee, the Chase Companies was represented. The other two-thirds, American Brass and Scovill did not put in appearance. All the talking was done by the administration's yes men, and they of course were for the bond. Well, since silence is at times defind to mean consent, the claim can be made that the whole commission approved the bonds. But the indifference of the other two-thirds of the commission is peculiar, to say the least.
 Many people were surprised to also read that the Republican Town committee also approved the bond issue. To many of us 1t was no surprise, for it has been a common talk on the streets the past few months htat the Republican or- ganization has returned to the place 1t held during the double machine era and is now the tail of the Democratic machine kite. And that 1t has already decided to adhere to the best double machine traditions by planning to nominate an ap- proved setup to oppose Mayor Scully this coming fall.
 Its action the past week supports this view. It made 8 little variation by going on record as favoring the earmarking the bonds, that is in- serting a provision that the money derived from their sale be used only for the pipe line, etc. That would be about as effective as Sprinkling salt on 6 cats tail. Anyone who is at all familiar with legislative mat ters knows that such provisions are not worth the paper they are written on.
 In Agreement
 can agree with Mayor Scully on one point, and that is that the public should attend the hearing. will therefore ask as many or you who can conveniently attend the hearing to do so. But am also asking ycu in the interest of the city in general and for your own private interests to oppose the bond bills.

He charged that 5.500,0O0 copies

said in part:
Our charges are based on
such premises as their attacks
on American loyalties; the in
doctrination of youth against
traditional ideals and institu-
tions: lack of emphasis on true
American life and too great en-
phasis on the unfavorable
aspects; failure to give acknowI-
edgement to the deeds of our

tioning private ownership; too
favorable emphasis on what has

the creation OF doubt In the

dissemination Of alien propa-
ganda, and statements that the

the first time the Legion attacked
the use of allegedly subversive
books in the schools.

Red Writer Calls
Bridges Member
Of Communists
international News servi.e Wire

SAN FRANCISCO, April %
Testimony that Harry Bridges at
tended more than a dozen secret
Communist meetings in San Fran
cisco, and that he was known to be
a member of the Red party. was
offered by a key government wit
ness today at the Australian-born
Go leaders deportation hearing.
The new witness was Nat HONG,
Seattle newspaperman. who testi-
fled that he belonged to the Conn.,
munist Party from 1887 to 1889,
had held high editorial positions on
various Red publications. and had
been sent to Moscow in 1894 by
Earl Browder, to give Red leaders
expert advice on Red infiltration
into American labor unions.

He said it was generally known
in Moscow that Bridges was a

Cross-examination was largely
confined TO Honig's personal his

that several weeks ago Honig was
questioned by Seattle police re-
garding theft of books from a book
store-an incident which HONG
said was a misunderstanding.

Frank Says Courts !
Don't Want Judges
Who Yes Executive
Newly Appointed Justice
Honored at Dinner of
Chicago U. Alumni

Declaring the independence Of
the judiciary is one of the great
virtues of our form of government, "
Justice Jerome Frank, newly ap-
pointed member of the Second Fed
eral Circuit Court of Appeals in New
York, told fellow alumni of the
University of Chicago law school
last night that we don't want
judges who will yes everything that
the executive suggests"
Justice Frank, who went to the
bench from the craftsmanship of
the Securities and Exchange Com
mission, was the honor guest of
Chicago alumni at a dinner at the
Carlton Hotel and spoke briefly in
response to eulogies by a group OF
friends and former associates, in
cluding Justice William o. Douglas
of the Supreme Court.
Court Functions Discussed.
While bespeaking the need for
independence of the judiciary, the
new justices nevertheless warned
against attempts by courts to "frus-
trate" other arms of the Govern
ment.
The function of the courts is
not to lay a dead hand on what
the legislature does; on what the
executive does, or on what the
administrative agencies do he en-
phasized. 1T is to give citizens
their due"
Justice Douglas, a former COL
league OF Justice Frank in the Sc
curlties Commission praised his
Government service. calling it "the
kind of public service on which our
democratic form of government is
utterly dependent" He predicted
