U. 5. Protests
 Chinese Firing On U. s. Ships

WASHINGTON, LP)-The state department drafted an energetic protest" to the Chinese nationalist government yesterday as a result of a second attack on an American merchant ship.
 The skipper of the vessel. the Sir John Franklin, declared shells from two Nationalist Warships struck his ship 12 times during a barrage of about an hour.
 The incident, piling up new troubles for the U. s. add China, occurred Monday at the mouth of the Yangtze River, near commun- ist-held Shanghai.
 It was virtually the same spot where another ship of the same line, The Flying Cloud, was shell cd by a Nationalist Warshlp un Nov. IS. An American prOtcst at that time has produced no reply from the Nationalist government which at the mement is shifting capitals again to escape the ad- vancing communists.
 The new attack brought new de- mands from the ships operators, the Isbrandtsen Co.,, of New York, that the U. s. government protest American commerce.
 Captain Warren Hardy, master of the Sir John Franklin, radioed in a message, relayed to The state department from Shanghai, that the two Warships opened fire from a distance of 500 yards without the traditional preliminary of a warning shot across the bow.
 Hardy reported that the war ships were destroyer escorts.

Witness Testifies
 Bridges Was Dues Paying Communist

SAN FRANClSCO, (A')-A one time associated of Harry Bridges threw the governments Sunday punch" at the CIO longshore leader Monday.
 Heralded as the person through whom the government hoped to establish Bridges entrance into the communist party, witness John H. Big John) Shoemaker told a federal court jury that Bridges had been a dues paying member of the party.
 Shoemaker, a member of the group which in 1883 put Bridges into power in the longshore union, testified he was a section organ izer for the communist party on the waterfront as his territory.
 Then he testified:
 He was present when an appli- cation for membership in the com munist party was given Bridges in 1883; he subsequently, saw the application, filled out in what he said was Bridges handwriting; he and Bruce B. Jones, who also was present when Bridges was given the application, handed the appli- cation 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"
 Shoemaker said he saw Bridges pay party dues to at least three different persons. He told of a speech in 1888 in which he said Bridges solicited membership 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 Brid- ges through Shoemaker, during the 1894 strike. "Mr. Bridges" the witness testified, twas under the discipline of the communist party and he had to carry them out"

News of the World At A Glance ---
Tuesday. November 29, l949 By The Associated Press


 Moscow may have set the stage today for the decisive assault against the fostering sore of Tito ism in Eastern Europe's solid com- munist bloc.
 The cominform Communist International Information Bur eau issued what unquestionably. was a long though-out blast, call ing upon all communists in the world to help overthrow the re- gime of the rebel of Belgrade, Premier-M Marshal Tito of Yugo- slavia.
 "A decisive struggle is neces- sary against the intrigues of these agents of the imperialists (Tito- ists( wherever they try to work in the workers and democratic or ganizations, said a resolution adopted by the cominform at meeting in Hungary in the latter part of this month.
 This apparently is call by Moscow to other communist par ties making up the cominform- Poland, Romania, Hungary, Cze- chOSlovakia, Bulgaria and the par ties of France and Italy-to finish the job of housekeeping begun with the recent purges of those suspected of leading Tito factions.
 Only last week in New York foreign diplomatic quarters said they had heard reports an anti Tito coup was planned for some time between Christmas and Eas- ter. These reports, necessarily un- confirmed, speculated that a coup against Tito would start with a staged revolt in Belgrade, brought about by infiltration from Yugo- slavia'S cominform neighbors.
 In New York, Soviet foreign minister Andrei P. Vishinsky pre- pared a final effort before the current session of the United Ma tions general assembly to convince the world the United States and Britain are plotting a new war and the Soviet Union wants only peace.
 Against this nervous background the 12 top generals of the North Atlantic Alliance met fin Paris to map plans for defense of Western Europe They are to outline a 3,000-mile defense barrier from the Norwegian Arctic to the Ae- gean Sea, past which no attacker from the east could march with out fighting the combined forces of all 12 member nations. The mil itary chiefs civilian counterparts ministers of defense of the 12 nations-meet in Paris Thursday.
 The immediate result of these talks will be to empower Presf- dent Truman to release nearly a billion dollars worth of arms aid funds recently approved by the U. s. Congress.
