Court
May yUnsnarl
Bridges Case

Washington, June. 11-UP-The
case Of Harry r. Bridges is a five
year legal tangle which the Su.
preme Court may unsnarl today by
deciding whether the West Coast
labor leader is a communist, as
!, charged. .-,..
The court also will be deciding
whether Communists are just mem
bers OF anotheNpoliticsl organiza-
tion or whether they advocate re-
bellion against the United States,
The case against Bridges, an Aus
tralian, is for his deportation as an
alien Communist.
The high tribunal, which has al
ready delayed its customary sum
mer recess two weeks due to a
large number OF undecided cases,
Is expected to announce another
delay today. Still on the docket are
80 cases, including the govern
ments antitrust suit against the
Associated Press, labor suits test
ing regulatory laws OF Alabama and
Florida and the Bridges case.
Prior to Germanys invasion OF
the Soviet Union in June, 194l,
Bridges was a factor in some OF
the West Coasts most spectacular
labor disputes. He is president OF
the Longshoremen's and Ware
housemen's Union (CIO). The de-
portation case against him began
in 1889.
Upheld by Lands
James NJ. Lands, an original
member OF the 1882 Roosevelt
brain trust and later dean o' the
Harvard Law School conducted
an inquiry into Bridges political
beliefs. After II weeks Lands re-
ported in 1889 that Bridges was not
Communist and therefore not
subject TO deportation.
Lands report was referred TO
Judge Charles B. Sears Of the I'm
migration Bureau for re-hearing
Sears found that Bridges had been
Communist and issued an order
for his deportation. on Jan. .,

Risk Prestige

Washington, June IL ms -
President Truman's prestige with

this week - with administration
leaders admittedly doubtful wheth-

The Senate today moves toward
a vote on extension OF price control,

has been acted upon.
The price control test will be on
the controversial Thomas Amend

Chester Bowles declared would
involve the fate Of the whole price
control program.
This amendment, by Sen. Tho
mas (D) Okla, who headed the Sen
ate's meat industry investigation,
would require the OPA to give each
meat packer a price-or a subsidy
sufficient to cover his costs plus a
profit margin.
The Senate approached the test
under a limitation of debate that
may bring a vote today.

FDR Fovors Night Ball

Washington, March l2.-(UP)- Clark Griffith, owner of the Wash ington Senators, left conference with President Roosevelt today with the definite idea that the chief executive favors continuance of night baseball as recreation for war workers.
 Griffith paid his annual call to the White House to present season passes to the President and Mrs. Roosevelt. He said afterward that while he and the President had not talked much baseball, the President reminded him of his 1942 state- ment encouraging night baseball for war worker spectators.
 Does he still feel the same way about night baseball?" Griffith was asked.
 "Yes, he does" Griffith said.
 Asked what the President felt about the future of baseball in gen. eral, Griffith said this question should be directed to MT. Roosevelt himself at his news conference to- morrow.
 The veteran Washington baseball leader, as in past years, invited the President to attend the opening day game here April 16. MT. Roosevelt said 1t was not beyond the realm of possibility that he would be able to go and toss the first ball.

Ward Review Faces Delay

Washington, March l2 - (U.P9- The supreme court refused today to make an immediate review of a lower court decision holding that President Roosevelt was without au- thority to order army seizure of Montgomery Ward and Company's plants and facilities.
 The action meant that the case will have to be heard in regular procedure by the Circuit Court Of Appeals, before being taken to the -upreme court.
 The Justice Department asked for immediate review by the supreme court, stressing the cases interest to the war effort. Montgomery Ward joined in the request for a quick review over the legality of the seizure.
 The government argued that the lower courts ruling threatened to impair it's ability to handle future emergencies" growing out of work stoppageS.
 Montgomery Ward said that 1t felt thta the decision handed down by Federal District Judge Philip L. Sullivan in Chicago in January was clearly and inescapably correct" But, the firm added, the Army has retained possession of its property and there were indications that it might do so until the supreme court has finally acted.
 Sullivan ruled that the President had gone beyond the Smith-Con- nally Labor Disputes Act and his war powers in taking possession ot 16 Montgomery Ward properties in seven cities. The seizure was made after the firm refused to comply with 8 War Labor Board order.
 The government and the company asked the supreme court to take jurisdiction at once without wait ing for action by the seventh Cr- cult court of Appeals.
