MOSCOW, Oct. 6-Tass, ofdcial
Russian news agency, charged today
that Germany was making use OF
Bulgaria's privileges as a neutral
nation to further her own war aims.
Quoting very reliable sources,
the agency said in a dispatch from
Istanbul that German and Ru-
manian warships and merchant YES
sells were plying the Black Sea under
the Bulgarian flag.
The dispatch said several Ru-
manian tankers recently landed oil
products at the Rumanian ports of
Balcik and Mangalia under the pro-
lection of the Bulgarian nag and
that five German cutters had been
observed patroling the Rumanian
coast under Bulgarian colors.
Thus the privileges and advan-
tages of neutrality enjoyed by Bull
garia have in practice been placed
at the service of German war in
terests," Tass declared.

Government Begins
Deportation Case
Against Bridges
u. 5. Seeks to Prove Claim
Of Communism in
Second Hearing
BY the Associated Press

SS tne Associated Press.
SAN FRANCISCO, March 81
Treating Harry Bridges strictly as
an alien law violator, the Immigra-
ton Service today undertook to
prove that the militant c. I. o.
labor leader had been a member
of or affiliated with the Communist
party and, therefore, should be de-
ported to his native Australia.
Going to bat for the West Coast
longshore official with all their re-
sources-as they had done when he
came up for a similar Labor Depart
ment hearing in 1939-Mr. Bridges
supporters stressed their contention
that he was being prosecuted and
that the whole procedure was &C
tually IAN attack on labor"
The immigration Service was
ready with 20 WitneSSes-assembled
quietly from various parts of the
eountry-and was basing its case
on a voluminous 2,500-page report
of the Federal Bureau of Investi-
cation.
At the 1899 hearing the presid-
ing examiner, Dean James M. Lam
dis of the Harvard Law School,
heard enough evidence to convince
him Mr.. Bridges was Theoretically
radical" but insufficient to show he
actually was a Communist party
member at the time of the proceed
tngs.
This time the Government seeks
to establish that the slender, per-
suasive-voiced water front labor
leader, despite his repeated denial,
is or has been affiliated with the
Communist party, an organization
accused of subversively working for
the violent overthrow of the Gov
ernment.
Under the 1910 Alien Registra-
mon Act, it is grounds for deporta-
tion if the Government can prove
that Mr.. Bridges has been affiliated
with a subversive organization, be-
lieving in violent overthrow of the
Government, at any time since he
came to this country 81 years ago
Presiding is Judge Charles Brown
Sears, 70-year-old retired jurist from
New York, who said proceedings
would follow a very liberal inter-
pretation of the rules of evidence,
with relevancy as the principal con-
sideration.
The hearing will be open to the
public. The 1889 hearing was at
Angel Island in San Francisco Bay
and spectators were barred.
The first hearing took nine weeks
Judge Sears said he hadn't dared
to ask" how long this one would
last. He said he favored relatively
long court hours through the week.
Mr.. Bridges, who achieved COM
manding position in American labor
during the 1884 waterfront strike,
is California director of the c. I. o.
and president of the International
Longshoremen's and Warehouse
mems Union. He has twice filed for
first citizenship papers, but both ap-
plications were allowed to lapse
The Justice Department arrested
him February IA. He was released
on $4,000 bail.
Speaking at dinner attended by
G. I. o. leaders, Mr.. Bridges criti-
cized the procedure of the Justice
Department. He said the Govern
n1ent declined to make known the
particulars of It's case against him,
and added, 'I think we'll knock the
Governments case for loop"

lister of the YugoSlav government

The result of that talk was not
disclosed. German circles declared.
however, Yugoslavia's position re-
manned very vague" despite Ger
man attempts to obtain definite
statement of the governments pol
icy toward the alliance.
The Belgrade press described Yu-
goslavia's two big factions, Serbs
and Croats, as closer together than
ever before since the formation OF
the new government.
Drive in Albania Indicated.
German correspondents continued
to report, however, that the Croat
peasant leader Vladimir Machek, who
carried over into the new govern
ment as Vice Premier, still was
awaiting clarification of the govern
ment's foreign policy before giving
it his support.
One of the last stories sent out of
Yugoslavia by German correspond
ents limited that Gen. Simovic was
considering drive through Albania.
These stories quoted the Premier
as telling the Italian Minister:
"Yugoslavia is not going to be in
closed. If the Germans go to Salon.
ika (Greece) the YugoslavS must
get to the sea by way of Albania" I"
Yugoslav official circles said there
was absolutely no confirmation that
such a statement had been made.
