World War veterans. The Army,
Navy and Marine Bands are to play.
At the end Of the procession there
will be tank battalion and a pro-
visional battalion from Boiling Field.
So far as it. is feasible, the troops
taking part in the great military
pageant are to be of local origin. AS
civilians many Of them made their
homes in Washington. The parade,
therefore, will be in certain sense
"a family affair" and the people of
the community should be quick to
realize that fact concerning it.

Medical Rutionino

In an address to the Massachusetts,
Medical Society at Boston a proni-
nent physician sounded an ominous
note. With so many doctors being
assigned to the armed forces. he
said. there may not be enough to
60 around for civilian use. unless
they are rationed.
Here is headache for physicians
and Government alike. What, in the
name Of Hippocrates, should be on
an A card, the kind that Citizen John
Smith gets after waiting for hours in
line? AS the head of a family, prob
ably it will be good for a case of
measles, mumps and chicken pox for
each child. Also. if the race Is not to
die out. it should be good for the
birth Of at least one more child. So
much for reasonably foreseeable
demands-but what of the rest?
Every man, if he is true patriot,
will try to cut down on the luxury of
illnesses. He will endeavor to stay
well for the duration, even if it kills
him. But perhaps fate will interrupt
his patriotism. If he is stricken with
appendicitis at time when his card
is all punched out. will he apply to
the medical rationing board for a
B-3 card. or will he get a bootleg
doctor?
And think of the suffering Of
chronic hypochrondriacs unable to
get X cards, and forced to choose
painfully between scores of ailments
ranging all the way from fiat feet
to dandruff? This decision alone
may worry them into an early grave.

Harry Renton BRIDGES

SAA SAASAAAA6 WAC 0CpOA tQulOl1 VI
Harry r. Bridges. thereby reversing
a ruling by the Board Of Immigra-
tion Appeals. Attorney General Bid
die has taken what seems to be the
only course that is consistent with
the facts Of the case.
The question Of Bridges status as
an alien has been hanging fire for
six years. Proceedings to deport him
were instituted four years ago. but
were dismissed after a hearing pre-
sided over by James M. Lands, then
dean of the Harvard Law School,
who followed the Supreme Court
ruling in the Strecker case that,
under the law. past" membership
in the Communist party was not a
ground for deportation. Congress
promptly amended the law to make
such membership "at any time"
deportable offense for an alien, and
a second proceeding against Bridges
was instituted.
This hearing was conducted by
Charles B. Sears. presiding inspector
TOR the Justice Department, and a
former member of the New York
Court OF Appeals. After a lengthy
hearing. Judge Sears held that
Bridges had been affiliated with the
Communist party and recommended
that he be deported. This finding
was reversed by the Board of Immi-
grafton Appeals in an opinion which
ignored the evidence submitted to
Judge Sears by the Government and
undertook in seemingly arbitrary
fashion to pass upon the integrity
OF witnesses who had not been before
the board. The effect Of the Attorney
Generals action is to uphold the
finding by Judge Sears, a result
which appears to be fully warranted
by the evidence and which is certain
to strengthen public confidence In
the departments immigration pro-
ceedings. Bridges, of course. has a
right of appeal to the courts.
1t Is stating the obvious to say
that this case has assumed an i'm
portance out of all proportion to the
question OF whether Bridges. as an
individual, is in this country unlaw-
fully. Many Americans are convinced
that he is dangerous radical and
that his continued presence here is a
menace to our form of government.
Others believe just as firmly that
the Committee for Industrial Organ
ization union leader has been perse-
cuted because Of his political beliefs
and his militant labor activity. Still
others will wonder why the Govern
ment, in the name of national unity,
should pardon Earl Browder, Com
muniSt party leader. after he had
been convicted Of a passport fraud,
and move at the same time to deport
Harry Bridges because. he has been
affiliated with the same Communist
party.
The answer probably is that In
each case the rise and fall of public
opinion has been only remotely
related to the facts and the law.
Browder, an American citizen, actu-
ally served Jail sentence appro-
pirate to the specific offense for
which he was tried and convicted.
Bridges. an alien. will not be deport-
ed without having full opportunity
to exercise all Of his legal rights.
If, in the end, he is sent out of the
country, it might be well to remem-
Der that he has been in the United
States for twenty-five years, that on
three occasions he has initiated citi-
zenship proceedings, but that he has
never been sufficiently interested in
becoming a citizen to see any of
them through.

Pleads for Prayers
To Strengthen People.

To the Editor OF The Star:
As we approach Memorial Day and
pay homage to our soldier dead, let us
re-dedicate ourselves, not only to the
task of preserving a government of
the people, by the people. for the people"
but also to the task of establishing
better social order, and the advance
ment of spirituality.
To that end let us have special prayers
in churches of all creeds, and also in
our homes
1t is very fitting at this critical time,
that we should turn reverently to God
for strength and guidance In order that
each one may have help to do his utmost.

For Girls Working Evenings.
To the Editor Of The Star:
Girls are being brought to this city by
the hundreds for war work, and at the
same time the city Is being infested
with criminals.
Some of these girls are placed on
night shifts and let out at midnight to
60 to their homes without escort. 1t
occurs to me that something should be
done to protect these midnight work.
ing girls, some of whom, am told, must
walk as much as eight blocks to reach
their homes.
Why not provide buses, station wag-
ons or other vehicles to pick up those
who have no conveyance or escort and
take them to their homes?

inquiries About Pooling
Delivery of Milk.

To the Editor Of The Star:
1t appears that we are to have our
milk deliveries cut to one every two
days All right, We say, if that helps
the war effort.
If you should look out the window
on our street about II any morning you
would see at least three different milk
delivery trucks meandering up the
street, pausing here and there to deliver
milk at three or four housess
Is there some very good reason why
these companies could not pool their
deliveries?
Probably we would feel better about
this reduction In service, too, If We did
not wonder why there are so many ice
cream trucks, and even why there Is
house-to-house bread delivery.

Newton, Tacoma tile mason, IN
his $4,000 suit against Pacific
Highway Transport Co., a verdict
reached late Friday afternoon by

department of superior court.
The jury arrived at its verdict
in about two hours after the case
was submitted in mid-afternoon.
Newton was represented by
Attorney Samuel Crippen. who
said he had been informed it was
the largest verdict here since 1928.
Newton was badly smashed UP
one evening last summer when the
car he was driving crashed into
parked tractor and trailer unit of
the company.
He charged that the big freight
unit was backed into a warehouse
at McCleary on the Aberdeen
Olympia road without any lights
showing to approaching traffic on
that side of the highway, and that
the forward part, including the
tractor cab. extended over into
the highway.
Ben Alexander of Tacoma. rid
ing with Newton. was killed in the
