The W ashington Merry Go Round
By DREW PEARSON :

H-nnvrient. lS4s. by Bell Syndicate. Incl WASHINGTON = Senator Pat McCarran of Nevada, No. enemy of Europe's homeless refugees, has now set himself up as chief vol- unteer public relations counsel to Europes No I Facist Dictator.
 On his latest junket abroad, sup posedly to investigate the current refugee situation" McCarran gave Spain's Francisco Franco some shrewdly cynical advice on how to make friends and influence people. In the course of two lengthy inter views, the Senator from Nevada assured his attentive host that with a little smart handling at this end, Spain can be right back in the front parlor by this time next year"
 McCarran happens to represent a state containing less than one tenth of one per cent of the U. S. population, and most NevadanS are not the slightest bit interested in Franco. Nevertheless, McCarran did not hesitate to speak for all the American people.
 The overwhelming majority of the American people" he said. "are convinced that your country has been given a raw deal. It's just a question now of pounding the point home and getting enough pressure put on enough Congressmen to whip the State Department pinks.
 A healthy bloc of Senators" Mo- Carran added, are prepared to ad- vocate, early in the next Congress sional session, that the United State sponsor Spain's admission to specialized agencies of the United Nations. '"They are also prepared to put the heat on a few of our European charity patients so that

ATTORNEY IN BRIDGE5' CASE
 IS FAMED MAN
Gets Into Arguments Again But Is Polite and
 DeferentiaI
By KATHERINE PINKHAM

- SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 23-tR- Harry Bridges chief attorney, whose caustic arguments got him a six months jail sentence for contempt of court yesterday, looked and acted like a tanned man today.
 The usually militant Vincent Hal linan was polite and deferential when the Bridges perjury trial re- sumed. He had objections to make but he made them quietly and carefully
 The trial of the West Coast Longshore leader got going again in a calm, judicial atmosphere There was little reminder of the uproar,ous session yesterdays ses- sion in which Hallinan and US. District Judge George B. Harris clashed with a Bitterness rare in a Federal courtroom.
 Again, though, the jury didn't remain long. The veniremen missed all the verbal fireworks yesterday Today, they were sent out whil. attorneys argued legal point.
 Judge Harris, who had lashed hallinan in caustic terms and then meted out the six months contempt sentence, at one point agreed with the defense attorney that chief prosecutor F. Joseph Donahue had not laid the proper foundation for questioning.
 This came on test .mony by a government witness, ex-longshore- man John H. Shoemaker, on his first meeting with Bridges. He saic he went to Bridges home in 1893 accompanied by Herman Mann. a fellow stevedore and fellow Com n,unist.
 The jury, which got in for only IS minutes yesterday. was ex- cused for the argument on the legal point.

EISENHOWER N07T0 RUN,
 PRESIDENCY
Puts Thumbs Down on Any Proposal Suggesting
 Him as Candidate
By JACK BELL

WASHINGTON, Nov. 23--tR-- Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower's latest thumbsdown on Presidential can- didacy found about as many be- lievers as cynics in Washington today.
 Eisenhower told reporters at Cin- cinnati yesterday that he is de- voting all of his time to hls joo as President of Columbia Univer- sity and has no intention of seek ing political office. ss4 ys1s
 Politicals wiling to take the Gen eral at his word argued that Eisen- hover seems to be pursuing the course least likely to win him "a .omination by repeating this state ment.
 Cynics contended that the Gen. erals words left him open to a possible draft by the Republican National Convention in 1852. They said such draft movement might grow by leaps and bounds.

 CHANG REGIME
 IN U. N. COUNCIL

NEW YORK, Nov. 23-tR-Rus- sia's Andrei Y. Vishinsky an- nounced today Russia no longer recognizes the Chinese Nationalist delegation as the spokesman for China in the United Nations.
 This means that the Soviet Union will not consider the Chiang Kai-shek regime as proper mem- Der of the Security Council, where China shares the right of veto with the other big powers-Russia, the United States, Britain and France.
 Recently Yugoslayia was elected to the Security Council, over Rus sian protests, but Yugoslavia will not share the right of veto when it takes it's seat in January.
 The Soviet Union previously broke diplomatic relations with the Chiang regime and accorded re- cognition to the Communist regime at Peiping.

Proposed Strike Of Sailors Seems AuertedN Nol
BRIDGES TRIAL LAWYER MISSES
 JAIL SENTENCE
Judge Stays 6-Month Con- tempt Chdrge-Bridges
 Takes Back Seat

SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 23.-R- With Harry Bridges taking a back seat, almost forgotten amid the tu- mutt, the longshore leaders at torney in his perjury trial yester- day drew six months for criminal contempt of court.
 The lawyer narrowly missed hav- ing to go to jail immediately Federal Judge George B. Harris imposed the jail sentence on at torney Vincent Hallinan after bit ter, scathing excoriation, the like of which probably never had been paralleled in local federal court history.
 The judge ordered the colorful and stormy figure of the San Fran cisco bar taken into custody i'm mediately. But he later relented and granted a stay to permit Halli- ran to continue to represent Bridg- es for the duration of the trial.
 Bridges, 48, naturalized Austra- lian, is head of the left wing CIO Longshore. Union, is charged with falsely swearing at his 1945 natur- alization hearing that he never had been a Communist. He and two un- ion aides, J, R. Robertson and Hen- Try Schmidt, are charged with con- spiracy to defraud the government.
 Two Failures
 Bridges would be subject to de- portation if convicted. Two previous government attempts to deport him failed, in 1889 and 1941. The Sup reme Court of the United States held in 1945, as an outgrowth of a deportation order based on the 1941 hearing, that Bridges had not been proved a Communist.
 Although Hallinan was granted stay of sentence, he probably will have to serve it once the case has been decided. Judge Harris original order also directed that Hallinan's name be stricken from the roll of attorneys in his court.
 His face dark Witk anger, the Judge raked fIallinan over the coals for improper and "inflam- natory' conduct during the first week of the trial
 He oeciuea to stay the sentence only after urgent pleas by Hal linan's associate, James MacInnis, and after Bridges himself had ex- pressed doubt he would get "a square deal' if he had to change counsel Bridges wanted the case put over until Hallinan would be available.
 It would have marked the second time that Bridges had to get new attorney in this case. Richard Gladstein, who usually represents the union leader, withdrew as coun- sel after receiving six-month con- tempt sentence in New York, where he served as counsel for the defen- dants in the Communist trial.
 Announcing his decision to let Hallinan continue, Judge Harris called for a forgive and forget attitude, and the discarding of vrangling and i'll will.
 Let's try this case like gentle nen; like lawyers; like Americans, he said.
 Hallinan said the Judges act was 'magnanimous" as far as his client was concerned.

all sides that Britain and the
sterling area generally must sell
more goods for dollars, meaning
mainly to the United States, and
cut down at least temporarily on
imports for which they pay dol
lars. The British government al
ready has decided to cut their
dollar imports by about rs per
cent, and more drastic measures
may be necessary.
Increasing exports Of British
goods for dollars, it also is agreed
generally, will require measures to
boost production and cut costs
This, along with lessened imports,
will mean a lower standard OF
living in Britain.
There is no prospect of further
loans to Britain or extension OF
the Marshall Plan beyond its pres
ent scope. This Governments po-
sition is that the problem must be
considered within, the framework
of existing United Nations foreign
economic policy, in the light of the
need for adjustment to a declin-
ing level of American assistance.
There is room for some addi-
tional American financial aid in
the form of Export Import Bank
loans to India and other countries
in the sterling area that would
help relieve the demands Of those
countries on Britain for dollars.
