Woman "Fldbbergdsfed" When Statement Made,
 She Tesfifies at Hearing

SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 8--R-- Two more witnesses have testified Harry Bridges was active in the Communist Party.
 Bridges, CIO longshore leader, on trial in Federal Court for perjury. is accused of falsely denying he was a Communist at naturalization pro- ceedings in 1945.
 Two of his waterfront aides, Hen- ry Schmidt and J. R. Robertson, are accused of conspiracy in con- nection with his obtaining United States citizenship.
 The witnesses are Mrs. Irene Pat ti Harris, 63-year- wife of longshoreman, and Stanley Ben- jamin Hancock, fl, of Erie, Pa.
 They corroborated testimony of previous government witness. John H. Shoemaker, a former associate of Bridges.
 Mrs. Harris said she was "flabber- gasted" to hear Bridges say he was Communist at meeting she att tended in 1888.
 She said
 MT. Bridges, well, he made e report on the waterfront, talked about what the Communists had done. Then he made plea to those there to become members and also he stated he was member of the Communist Party"
 "Flabbergasted"
 Prosecutor George Gallagher wanted to know how she remember ed the incident.
 She answered:
 Why was flabbergasted when he said that"
 Hancock said he was a former Communist and had worked on many newspapers. He listed them as the San Diego Sun circulation department, Pasadena Star News, Santa Cruz Sentinel News, Union Sun and Journal of Lockport, N. r., Peoples World of San Fran cisco, and the Erie Dispatch.
 He said he resigned his position as puhlice relations director of the Erie paper last Friday.
 Hancock declared he left the San Diego Sun in 1882, quitting the paper to become a full-fledged functionary of the Communist Party.
 He asserted he had attended Communist Party caucus in San Diego in 1885 at which Bridges and Schmidt were present.
 The meeting, he said, was held at 18th and B Streets and was held to set up progressive" slate of officers for the state federation of labor, then in convention in the southern California city. i,

Boats Reported Built.
Boats for the crossing were re-

The three large cities today draw
40 per cent of their food supplies
from American aid. Their capture
would pose a food problem for
the Communists until crops are

Most observers guess the Com
muniStS will not try river crossings
until sometime next month, prob
ably the latter part.
Government commanders were
caught in the middle. To the
north were the Communists
hordes. To the south uprisings
led by Reds were reported in the
provinces of Yunnan, Kwangtune

Defeatism, Not Lack
OF Arms, Is Blamed
|For Chinese DebacIe
By John A. Giles

A defeatist attitude Through
out" the Chinese Nationalist Army
and not a lack of arms has caused
its defeat. in the opinion of the
now dissolved United States mil
itary advisory group to that
country.
Maj. Gen. David G. Barr, who
recently arrived here, told a news
conference yesterday that it was
a logical conclusion" that more
arms would not have saved Ma
tionalist forces and that he never
felt that ANY particular battle
was lost because of lack of arms. "
The "loss of the will to fight"
among the Nationalists, he said,
was aggravated by poor pay. poor
food, lack of medical facilities and
no provisions for the care of SOL
diers' dependents.
Reds Better Fed.
The Communists, better paid
and better fed than the National
lists, now use mostly American
made weapons, captured from the
Nationalists, he reported. How
ever, very little of the last $125,-
100000 worth of aid sent by the
United States to the Nationalist
government reached the front be-
fore the collapse of its army, and
most of it is held by the National
lists on the Island of Formosa, ne
added.
The Nationalist Air Force and
Navy, having 100000 and $4,000
men, respectively, are better or
ganized than the Army. the gen.
eral said.
Even now the Communists have
very few planes" while the Ma
tionalists had, at their peak, about
ago combat aircraft. OF these,
about 275 were in combat condi-
ton. he said.
Gen. Barr himself has never
seen any Russian equipment in
Chinese Communist hands nor had
any definite information that Rus
sian officers served with the Com
munist forces-only lust the nor
NAL rumors."
Poor generalship has been a

Give us an 30 acre site of farmland, partially cleared and not too far from water and sever lines, and it's possible we will rebuild Eklutna school in the Valley" Don Foster, Alaska Native Service head, told mem- oerS of the Chamber of Con- merce at a special luncheon last Thursday noon.

 lie offered the school as an alternative to the ANS hospital, which local residents have been attempting to swing to the Val ley.
 In outlining the advantages of Ezlutna School, MT.

 He said the school would house 400 children from first to eighth grade level. Some of the older children would be a poten- tial labor supply during summer months, when farmers need added help, it was pointed out.

 Glen Woods, chairman of the school board, told the committee that reasons cited in last weeks FrontierSman - namely, class room performance, loyalty, eff ciency and cooperation in the school system, were the only bases for dismissal.
 MT. Woods emphatically de- nied, and was as strongly back ed by C. w. Peters, that social or any other reasons were con- sidered in the diSmissals.
 The committee was told that each dismissed teacher had been invited to appear before the board for a special hearing. One, Charles Dillon, had presented new facts which had not been considered before," MT. Woods reported.
