Fight on Communists
Pushed yRight-Wine
Electrical Union
BY the Associated Press

PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 29.-Pol-
fcymakers of the new CIO Elec-
trical Workers Union set out
anew today to give American
labor a blueprint for fighting
Communism in its ranks.
The union. successor to the ex-
PEELED United Electrical. Radio
and Machine Workers Of Amer
ica (UE). started the second day
of its founding convention with
the pattern sharply drawn by
|CIO President Philip Murray.
Speaking for full hour yester-
day. Murray-his face flushed
and shis tongue bitter - attacked
Communist leadership in the
labor movement and warned that
other 1eft-wing unions, now af11li-
ated with CIO. would 60 the way
of UE.
He did not name them, however
"Your greatest enemy Is COM
munism." he shouted.
Pledges All Efforts.
II have come here definitely
committed to support you against
all your enemies-and I care not
who those enemies may be.
IT swear to you that I will fight
them with every ounce Of energy
and wisdom which the Infinite
Being has bestowed upon me-"
He warned the fight will be
long and hard. and that trick
cry will be used against u.s." But
he said he was sure Of victory.
An uproar Of applause and
whistling greeted his words.
Again and again the theme was
taken UP by other speakers. In
preliminary committee meetings
in lobby talk.
Not fractional Fight.
James B. Carey, acting leader
Of the self styled right-wing TUE
expressed what appeared to be 6
general convention view-that thi'
is not regarded as a factiona
fight in the labor movement, bu1
a struggle against Communist in
filtration into trade unionism.
But Mr.. Murray's lashing Of th'
UE's leadership did prompt repl!
from Albert J. Fitzgerald, presi'
dent of the ousted union.
Terming the IUE "compan!
union in the electrical industry,
Mr.. Fitzgerald asserted "for
considerable period now the VI

from notes made eight months

Bid 10 Lease Space
For District Court
Is Rejected by GSA

Federal rental agents nave re-
jected the public bid of the Wash
ington Housing Corp. to lease
buildings at 515-19 Fourth street
NV, to provide additional space
for District Court and have en-
tered into private negotiations to
rent the top floor OF the Standard
Oil Building, it was disclosed to-
day. ...
Frank Fuller, attorney for the
housing corporation. said he re-
ceived a letter this morning from
the General Services Administra-
ton informing him that his bid
to lease $4,000 square feet of space
in the buildings formerly occupied
by st. Patrick's Parochial School
and the Ursiline Convent had been
rejected. The corporation offered
to lease the buildings for $14,40O
a year.
Mr.. Fuller said GSA informed
him that the law restricts ex-
penditures for alterations to leased
building to Is per cent of the
first years rent. It would cost
more than the permitted Is per
cent to remodel the Fourth street
buildings into courtrooms and
quarters for judges, GSA wrote.
I'VE could pay the cost Of some
OF the alterations and think the
figure could be brought within
permitted limits If GSA wants to
negotiate" Mr.. Fuller said. Il just
received their notification a few
hours ago and I have asked our
broker to communicate with them
We have only had very general
conversations about the proposed
alterations so far" r a..
Meanwhile, John L. Magic, dep
uty GSA administrator In charge
OF real estate management, has
assumed personal charge Of the
hunt for District Court space. He
said he hoped a rental deal would
be made later this week, but re-
fused to confirm that he was

avenues From other sources,
however. it was learned that q
proposal to lease space In the
Standard Oil Building has been
submitted to the legal department
Of GSA.
GSA spokesmen said It is Gus
tomary for Federal rental agents
to enter private negotiations when
public bids fail to produce the
space the Government seeks. No
indication of the amount offered
as rental for the Standard Oh
Building space could be obtained
at GSA.

perjury in testifying at his 1945
naturalization hearing that he had
never been a Communist. With
two union aides, j. r. Robertson

scused of conspiring to defraud the

Tells of Application.

group which in 1888 put Bridges
Into power the longshore union,
testified he. was section organ
-izer for the Communist Party
with the waterfront as his terri
tory.
= Then he testified:
: He was present when applica-
lion for membership in the Com
munist Party was given Bridges
in 1888; he subsequently saw the
application, filled out in what he
said was Bridges handwriting; ne
and Bruce B. Jones, who also was
present when Bridges was given
The application, handed the apph-
tation to Sam Darcy, then head
of the party in California.
The 1884 waterfront strike. he
said, was guided by Communists
= and twas largely Sam Darcy's
brain child"
Schomaker said he saw Bridges
pay party dues to at least three
different persons. He told OF q
speech in 1888, in which he said
Bridges solicited membership In
the Communist Party.
Schomaker said he attended nu-
merous Communist Party meet
ings at which Bridges and Schmidt
were present.
SAYS Bridges Got Orders.
Darcy, the witness went on. pc
riodically sent orders to Bridges
through Schomaker. during the
1884 strike. Mr.. Bridges" the
witness testified, was under the
discipline of the Communist Par
ty and he had to carry them out"
One Of the Communist meetings
he attended, he said, was in San
Diego in 1885, when the Califor-
mia State Federation Of Labor was
holding its convention. He said
Bridges and Schmidt were pres
ent at the party meeting which
discussed means Of getting one Of
their own number in as federation
vice president instead OF Paul
echarrenberg.
Schomaker's testimony was
punctuated by a running fire OF
objections from defense counsel.
It came after Judge George B.
Harris rejected defense motion
TO rule 1t out on the ground that
no testimony should be allowed on
events prior to June Is, 1896
That was the date on which thel
Supreme Court said Bridges had
not been proven a Communist and
Cancelled an order to deport him.
Judge Harris also held that de-
lense counsel had not followed the
proper legal course In seeking to
disqualify him from continuing
with the trial.

ATLANTIC PACT Generals
|Repofed in Accord on
| Defense Unification
By the Assoeiotsd Press

PARIS, Nov. 29.-Chiefs OF
stats of the armies of IL North
Atlantic treaty nations met here
today and were reported to have
reached agreement on unified de-
fense against any future foe.
The military experts, a reliable
source said, have now only to put
"the technical experts to work"
to complete North Atlantic de-
fenses.
Most of this work. he said,
would be done here in the next
two days, before Atlantic pact ma
tons defense ministers meet
Thursday to approve the plan.
Draft to Be Completed.
The military delegates remained
in the French Naval Ministry for
lunch and are meeting again this
afternoon to finish the draft of
the plan.
Their meeting followed yester-
days conference of the Big Three
chiefs of staff here. It also COIN
cides with talks which Defense
Secretary johnson is having in
London with British government
and military officials.
The military chiefs main task
is to outline q 3,000-mile
defense barrier from the Norwe-
gian Arctic to the Aegean Sea,
past which no attacker from the
East could march without a fight
with the combined forces of all
IL member nations.
Communique to Be Delayed.
No communique on their talks
is expected, however. until after
their civilian counterparts-the
ministers Of defense of the IL
nations-meet here Thursday.
The immediate known result Of
these top-level talks will be to
empower President Truman to re-
lease nearly a billion dollars
worth of arms aid funds recently
approved by the United States
Congress.
Well-informed circles believe
one of the first things the chiefs
NJ sto n will do IL anprove a svstpm
of interlocking defense groups in
Europe. They may also decide
whether the principal line of de-
fense will skirt the boundaries of
the iron curtain through the
center of Germany; will be set
back at the French border on the
Rhine, or will permit invaders to
go as far as the Pyrenees at the
Franco-Spanish frontier before
meeting all-out defense.
