Govern m eni 'Su!ndaYpunth' Hits Bridges
Says 1884 Strike Run by Communists-Saw Long,
 shore Leader Pay Dues

SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 29--lR-- A one-time associate of Harry Bridges threw the governments Sunday punch" at the CIO long, shore leader yesterday.
 Eeralded as the person through whom the government hoped to establish Bridges entrance into the Communist party, witness John H. Big John) Schomaker told Fed eral Court jury that Bridges had Teen dues paying member of the rarty.
 The Australian born Bridges, who twice won out against efforts to deport him, is charged with perjury in testifying at his 1945 naturaliza- ton hearing that he had never teen a Communist. With two union aides, J. R. Robertson and Henry Schmidt, he also is accused oi con- spiring to defraud the government.
 Shoemaker, member of the group which in 1893 put Bridges into power in the longshore union, testified he was section organizer for the Communist party on the waterfront as his territory.
 SAW APPLICATION
 Then he testified:
 He was present when an applica- ton for membership in the Com munist party was given Bridges in 1853: he subsequently, saw the ap- plicat on. filled out in what he said was Bridges handwriting; he and E{aruce B. Jones. who also was pre- ysent when Bridges was given the application, handed the applica- tion to Sam Darcy, then head of the party in California.
 The 1884 waterfront strike, he said, was guided by Communists and was largely Sam Darcy's brain child"
 Shoemaker said he saw Bridges pay party dues to at least three different persons, He told of a beech in 1888 in which he said Bridges solicited memt ership in the Communist party.
 Shoemaker said he attended numerous Communist party meet ings at which Bridges and Schmidt were present
 Sam Darcy. the witness went on, periodically sent orders to Bridges through Shoemaker, during the 1884 strike. MT. Bridges the wit ness testified, was under the dis cipline of the Communist party and he had to carry them out"
 AT PARTY MEET
 One of the Communist meetings he attended, he said, was in San Diego in 1885, when the California State Federation of Lator was holding it's convention. He said Bridges and Schmidt were present at the party meeting which dis cussed means of getting one of their own number in as Federation Vice President instead of Paul Scharrenberg.
 Schomaker's testimony was punc- tuated by running fire of ob- jections from defense counsel It came after Judge George B. Harris rejected a defense motion to rule it out on the ground that no testi- mony should be allowed on events prior to June IS, 1S45 That was the date on which the Supreme Court of the United States said Bridges had not been proven a Communist and cancelled an order to deport him.
 In another offshoot of the case, attorney George Olshausen filed a motion to vacate Judge Harris contempt judgment against chief defense attorney Vincent Hallinan. Eallinan last week was sentenced to six months in jail for criminal contempt, but. allowed to finish out the trial. tkSst

8-Foot Fence
Not Spiteful,
Jury Rules

A common pleas court jury
found nothing spiteful yesterday
in a West Side fence that lowered
eight feet into the air just three
feet from a mans home.
The jury returned a verdict
against Mr.. and Mrs. James Par
sons, 749 Dennison Ave-, who
protested construction of the
fence along the south side of their
land.
Victorious were MI. and Mrs.
A. P. Richardson, 22O1 Lakeview
Ave., who erected a two-foot
stone wall with a six-foot fence
on top in rear of their property.
The Richardson's claimed the
fence was erected as a scenic
background to a flower garden,
to provide privacy, and to protect
the Parsons from ball-playing boys
They pointed out the fence was
no higher than a hedge row orr
ginally located in the same area
and maintained by the Parsons.
The Parsons contended the
the stone wall forced water to
damage their foundation and base
ment for which they sought $1,000
They also asked for possession
of a narrow, angular strip Of land
on which the fence now stands
and which was occupied by the
hedge row.
The Parsons charged that the
hedge row was put IN by the
! people from whom they bought the
home and that they had main
tanned the hedge until it was cut
down recently, thus gaining pos
session.
"A hedge row doesn't necessar-
lily establish a property line," Ma
son Douglas who represented the
Richardson's, contended. "My eli
ent paid the taxes on that proper
ty for all these years."

John Wayne Gets

HOLLYWOOD, Dec. 24-tR,-
John Wayne isn't looking for
Santa Claus tonight; he already
has his Christmas gift.
Being nominated as number
two on the box office is the best
Christmas present / could get"
Said the rangy star.
Wayne is philosophical about
his success and attributes it to
the fact that his films show "hon-
est emotion"
1.-THE reason some pictures are
so bad" he declared. "Is that the
director or writer or actor is a.
fraid to show sentiment. They'll
twist the plot around to avoid it.
And they are wrong. The world
loves sentiment.
Gall my successful pictures
were hits because they were
frankly sentimental. The women
in the audience cried, and they
loved it.
There will be sentiment in my
present picture, Jet Pilot too.
I'll play some scenes with a
baby. People will be curious to
see how big bruiser handles a
baby"
Acting, he continued, doesn't
require any formal lessons.
Wayne received his dramatic
training on the use football
team.) s
"Of course, an actor has to
acquire poise-either through
dramatic schooling or by working
in quickies. But lessons don't
make an actor.
1--WE learned that what's being
said in a scene isn't so important.
It's the reaction to what's being
said. The more natural the re.
action, the better the actor.
That's why kids are so good on
the screen-their reactions are
completely natural"
a SMART ACTOR ia. nn
Without appearing so, Wayne
is one of the smartest actors in
the business. He is aware of his
limitations and will not under.
take anything that is over his
depth. He is also not afraid of
work.
81 have four pictures already
lined up for next year, which
means I'm not going to have any
time off. But" he added hastily,
I'm not complaining"
Rejecting on his 20-year career
in films, Wayne recalled that he
