 FOR PERJURY.
James 0'Neil Is Sentenced for Lying at Deporfa-
 lion Hearing

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 8-James ONeil, former C.fO. publicity man, was convicted today of purjury in his testimony at the Harry Bridges deportation hearing and was inn mediately sentenced to three years in prison and fined $1oo by Federal Judge Welsh.
 Judge Welsh brushed aside at tempts by defense attorneys to gain a delay with an argument for a new trial, but after hearing their protests, he said he would hear such argument Saturday.
 When the defense indicated that it wanted to move for probation the court commented:
 T can tell you now the Court is not disposed to grant probation.
 From the witness stand at his trial and at the Bridges hearing ONeil denied he ever had seen the California CI.O. director paste dues stamps in Communist Party mem- berShlp DOCK.
 F.BI. agents testified at both the hearing and the trial that ONeil had told them of seeing Bridges paste the stamps but had refused to sign a statement to that effect and said he wouldn't give such testimony from the witness stand.
