Early AssaiIs Bridges
For Talk on Transfer
OF Ships 10 Russia
Presidential Secretary
Coils 1t Tuntumount
To Avoiding Censorship
By the Associated Press

Presidential Secretary Stephen
Early said today that yesterdays
Senate speech by Senator
Bridges, Republican, of New
Hampshire concerning re-
ported transfer of United States
naval units to Russia was tanta-
mount to getting information
out which would otherwise be
barred by the censorship code.
Asked at his press conference
whether he had seen the Bridges
speech, Mr.. Early said:
yes, saw it in the papers"
ANY reaction?" he was asked.
NO" he replied, but that is one
way certain people seem to have of
getting information out that is very
probably Of military value that some
other nations would like to have,
but can't get 1t from the executive
branch of the Government.
Refers to Presidents Statement.
They can get it to their friends
on the hill, who in turn will pass it
out as privileged matter, hence
making it publishable under the
code"
Mr.. Early added: ats a de-
velopment of the statement the
President gave you some time ago
in any event."
This referred to press conference
statement several months ago in
which the President said the Allies
were considering transferring to
Russia one-third of the surrendered
Italian fleet or its equivalent.
The prospect developed, mean
while, that members of the Senate
Naval Affairs Committee may ask
for an official report on the reported
transfer of cruiser.
One member, Senator Tobey, Re.
publican, of New Hampshire sale
that if the unofficial reports of the
transfer are true, ''it is matter thai
could and should be looked into" b,
the committee.
People Entitled to Know.
The ranking Republican membe
!, OF the committee, Senator Davis o.
/ Pennsylvania, said Congress ough
to be consulted about these things
: further, the people are entitled t,
know about them as long as tn,
facts don't violate military security.
Senator Bridges referred to it a.
"a wholly different story than sup
plying military goods to Russia. He
said the United States Navy face
largely naval war against japan
and that Russia isn't in the wa
against Japan.

Peter Gissibl. former Chicago
leader Of the German-American
Bund, the Governments first
witness in the sedition case, re-
sumed the stand in District
Court today as the Government
delved further into its evidence
of an alleged Nazi conspiracy in
this country.
Special Prosecutor Joseph w
Burns began asking the key ques-
tions, through which the Govern
ment hopes to show the Bund was
the spearhead of a movement to
overthrow the Government through
various other organizations in which
| the 20 defendants were active.

Chief Justice Edward G. Eicher hae
directed the marshal to go after
Mr.. Laughlin and bring him into
court, the attorney drove up in 9
| taxicab shortly before noon. Robert
Noble, one of Mr.. Laughlin's two
clients, had refused to consent to
having another defense attorney
represent him during Mr.. Laughlin's
absence.
Another Delay Occurs
Justice Eicher ordered a recess
until Mr.. Laughlin arrived.
After Mr.. Laughlin returned to
court and Gissibl took the stand,
there was another delay Of half an
hour while counsel on both sides got
into discussion of the Govern
ment's exhibits-how they were to
be numbered and preserved for in
spection of all attorneys. This de-
layed further testimony until the
afternoon session.

Democrats 10 Send
7 Texas Delegations
To Chicago Meeting
Roosevelt Forces Lose Tw
Test Votes on lnstructin!
States 4S Delegates
BY the Associated Press.

Texas Democrats posed q
tough problem today for the ma
tional convention in their split
into two fighting factions, one
choosing an uninstructed slate
of delegates and another picking
a delegation pledged to support
a fourth term for President
Roosevelt.
It will be up to the national
gathering at Chicago in July to de-
eide which group shall be seated,
and on the basis of yesterdays bit
ter proceedings at Austin that de-
cision will come only after many
more harsh words.
Fourth Termers Lose Twice.
Here's what the Texans, meeting
in separate chambers at the State
Capitol, did in their first split into
two conventions in SO years:
The pro-Roosevelt faction lost
two test votes on instructing the
States 48 delegates, withdrew and
named their own ito work and fight
for Mr.. Roosevelt's denomination.
Those in the original convention
voted to send an uninstructed dele
CATION, declaring in advance that
Texas electors should not vote for
the party nominee unless the ma
tional convention disapproves efforts
"to nullify State laws for segrega-
ton" between white and colored
school children and takes stand
against the Supreme Court ruling
that Negroes may vote in Texas
Democratic primaries.
Republican Convention Quiet.
BY contrast, things went quietly
in the Texas Republican convention
at Houston which voted to send it's
33 delegates to the national con-
vention uninstructed. Antiadmin-
istration speeches by Gov. John w.
Bricker of Ohio and others were
loudly applauded.
Gov. Bricker declared that ''if no
business in this country is immune
from seizure, then we no longer
have a constitutional President-we
have dictator" He criticized what
he called the Nations economic
autocracy" and contended the New
Deal intends ito retain these
totalltarian methods after the war"
The delegates caucuSed after the
convention and decided not to fol-
low the vote-as-a unit rule, indicat-
ing they would divide at least their
first ballot votes between Gov.
Bricker and Gov. Thomas E. Dewey
of New York
Bricker Forces Garry On.
In Washington, meanwhile, sup
porters of Gov. Bricker said they
would carry their fight for the Re-
publican nomination into the ma
tional convention despite the
formidable backing piled up behind
Gov. Dewey in State by State
choices of delegates.
Senator Taft, Republican, of
Ohio told a reporter there would
be no wavering in the Bricker drive
which Roy D. Moore, the candidate S
campaign manager, has predicted
will end with the Ohio Governor
in possession of 257 of the 1859
nominating votes by convention
time. Gov. Dewey now has 373 pub
licly undisputed votes while Gov.
Bricker has 62.

Endorsement of their favorite North
