Highest Tribunal
Grants Review
Of Bridges Case

WASHINGTON, Jan. 30. CUPj -
The supreme court Monday granted
Harry Bridges, west coast CIO labor
leader, a review of his suit to eS-
cape deportation to Australia.
The court denied, however, a
petition of the communist political
association for permission to inter-
vene in the case. The association
formerly the communist party
wished to present material in OBJ
lection to a finding by Attorney
General Francis Biddle that the
communist party adhered to "viol-
ent overthrow of the U. S. gov
ernment."
Bridges was ordered deported by
the attorney general in May, 1912,
as an alien communist. He is seeking
to block expulsion through habeaS
corpus proceeding. He appealed to
the high court after the ninth cir
cult court of appeals affirmed
denial of the writ by District judge
Martin I. Welch of California. The
communist group then entered its
motion to intervene.
Biddle signed the deportation
order on a finding that Bridges,
head of the powerful longshore-
mems union, was affiliated with the
communist party and that the party
believed In overthrow of the U. s..
government By force and Violence"

Senate Approves
Rivers, Harbors
Postwar Measure

WASHINGTON, Jon. 30. (UP) =
The senate Monday passed and
sent to the house a bill authorizing
the appropriation of 1881, ,968, 1882
for the postwar construction of 291
river and harbor works.
The bill was passed in much the
same form as it was approved by
the senate last month.
The bill did net inciLGe tie FL
liott amendment providing that the
excess land provisions of the fed
eral reclamation laws shall not ap-
ply to land which receives federal
supplied water from the central val
ley project in California. This con-
troversal provision, adopted by the
house, prevented the river and har-
Dor bill from being approved last
session.
Because many controversial pro-
visions were excluded from this
bill, Senator john H. Overton, Cd,
Louisiana, floor manager, said that
he and chairman Joseph H. Mans
field, CD, Texas, of the house riv-
ers and harbors committee have
agreed that second river and har-
Dor bill will be drafted this session
to include these projects with others
recommended by the corps of army
engineers.

whose properties in seven cities
were seized December 20, were anx-
ious to get a high court ruling on
the decision.
Montgomery Ward officials were
particularly anxious to get ruling
by the circuit court of appeals since
Judge Sullivan specified in his de-
cision that the army should remain
in control of the seized properties
during the appeal proceedings.
Woll said he thought the neces-
sary papers to present the case To
the appeals court could be prepared
in couple of days and predicted
that the case would be before the
supreme court within a month. Both
sides previously had stated they
would carry the issue to the SUI

Decisive Battle

To Stem
Russ Onrush

LONDON, Jan. 20. (UP)-
Marshal Gregory K. Zhukov
plunged four armored spear
heads into the German prov
ince of Brandenburg on a
100-mile invasion front Mon
day and Moscow said the
Nazis had shown no signs of
being able to stem his onrush
short of the Oder river 40
miles east of Berlin.
Russian columns slashed
into Germany from Poland
on a broad arc, the center of
which was aimed squarely at
Berlin, and Zhukov's flanks
were firmly in the hands of
two other supporting Red
armies hammering at the
gates of Breslau and Danzig.
Final Battle
"As a result of Zhukov's
phenomenal advance across
the BrandenburgS frontier,
the march toward Berlin

as an immediate objective of the
Soviet invasion forces. They said
that Zhukov's tanks had been check
ed in the push toward Frankfurt.

Moscow dispatches said that in
Silesia the Russians were smashing
at the gates of Breslau, the provin-
cial capital, and expanding bridge
heads across the Oder on either side
of it.
The German high command said
that along the Oder southeast of
Breslau, repeated Russian attacks
were contained, and several Soviet
bridgeheads were eliminated or
narrowed down"

day as part of the governments
drive to eliminate black markets

previously established wholesale and
retail ceilings. The on-the-hoof
prices will be cut by SO cents all

SACRAMENTO, Jan. 20. (UP)-
Although the California legislature
Monday was in recess until March
5, considerable committee activity
was scheduled for state senators
and tassemblylren during the next
five weeks.
The interim committee on taxa
ton was considering a recommen-
dation that the present method of
allocating gasoline tax revenues be
revived after Chairman Senator H.
E. Dillinger, CD, Placerville, de-
clared the system new in effect
gave some areas more money for
road construction than they needed
and Others too little.
Under the current law, half of the
gasoline tax revenues are used for
state highways and the ot.er half
fer county roads, city streets and
highways within city limits.

mittee opened study of proposals
for diversion of the klamath river
