HI, HI! GOLD NOW
 BEING WASHED OUT ON COLUMBIA RIVER

UMATILLA, Ore, Dec. 6-H- Gold is being washed out of the sands of the Columbia River-But it's only a by-product of $227,- 100000 operation.
 The big operation is construc- tion of McNary Dam. The gold mining is combined with the pri- mary job of mixing sand and gravel for the dam.
 Col. William J. Ellison of the Corps of Engineers, in charge of dam building, said fine flour gold ranging from two to six mills in each ton of gravel is being reclaim ed. It just about pays the wages Of one of the mixing crew workers.
 E. Goody of Tacoma, Wash. runs the operation and gets the gold. But under his contract he gives 10 percent of it to J. G. Shot, well of nearby Hermiston, whc produces the sand and gravel mix and 10 percent to the government
 More than 50 years ago some gold was banned from the river sands here, but nobody got rich.

S(HR1MpFUp FOR THIRDD BRIDGE5' CASE
Cross Examination Goes 0n-Three Witnesses
 in Four Weeks

SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 6-lR- Henry Schrimpf, second ex-Com- munist called as a government wit ness in the perjury trial of Harry Bridges, faced a third day of cross examination today.
 Bridges, President of the CIO Longshoremen's and Warehouse mems Union, is accused of perjury for testifying in his 1945 naturali- zation hearing that he was never a Communist.
 Schrimpf, longshore walking ross and political opponent of Bridges in the union, has testified Bridges was active in Communist party councils in the 1884 maritime strike. He has not testified he knew Bridges was a Communist.
 Defense attorney James M. Mac Innis sought yesterday to tear down Schrimpf's testimony that Communists met in great secrecy during the maritime strike to plan strike strategy.
 He asked if Sam Darcy, head of District 13 of the Communist party, appeared openly before the strike committee and offered the services ot the Western Worker, the Com munist party paper.
 Schrimpf conceded he might have.
 MacInnis asked if Elaine Black, a representative of the International Labor Defense, "a direct branch of the Communist party" also ap- peared and offered its services.
 That could very possibly be true," Schrimpf said, certainly the Communists were out to rule the trade union movement"
 Later the witness testified:
 Conservatives on the strike com- mittee were very cautious about accepting aid from the Communist part"
 Schrimpf couldn't recall who these conservatives were.
 The fourth week of Bridges trial opened yesterday Two union asso- ciates, Henry Schmidt and J. R. Robertson, also are on trial charged with conspiracy to defraud the government in their testimony at Bridges naturalization hearing. In the four weeks of trial, only three witnesses have been heard.
 Defense attorney James MacInnis today got before Federal Jury his version of what caused the til
