Soviet Zone Fugitive Tells
OF Uranium Mine Fire
BY the Associated Pres,

FRANKFURT, Germany, Dec.
6.-The Lueneburger Landszeitung
declared yesterday that 3,700 per-
sons died in a uranium mine fire
in the Soviet occupation zone on
November "a. This is the highest
figure yet published, the previous
high being 1000. The Russians
say only one man perished.
The Landeszeitung said the new
estimate was given by a Soviet
zone fire chief who fed to West
Germany. The British licensed
Berlin Telegraf last week said the
dead numbered several hundred,
then boosted the total to 1000.
The Lueneburg newspaper said
the fire chief fled to Fallersleben in
the British zone Sunday rather
than obey orders to take a job as
a flreguard at the Johanngeorgen-
stadt mine.
1t said he showed his identity
papers, but asked that his name
not be made public because his
family still is in the Soviet zone.
The chief said his fire brigade
was one among those called to the
fire from Western Saxony. He said
he learned that 1000 workers were
underground when an explosion
started the fire, and that only 800

.Ex-Communist Faces
Third Day Of Attack
BY Bridges Defense
By the Associotsd Press

SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. g.
Henry Schrimpf, second ex-Com-
munist called as, Government
witness 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 natural
ization hearing that he never was
a Communist.
Schrimpf. longshore walking
boss and political opponent of
Bridges in the union, has testified
Bridges was active in Communist
Party councils in the 1884 mari
time strike. He has not testified
he knew Bridges was Communist.
Defense Attorney James M.
MacInnis sought yesterday to tear
down Schrimpf's testimony that
Communists met in great secrecy
during the maritime strike to plan
strategy.
He asked if Sam Darcy. head of
District 13 of the Communist
Party, appeared openly before the
Strike Committee and offered the
services of the Western Worker.
the Communist Party paper.
Schrimpf conceded he might.
Mr., MacInnis asked if Elaine
Black, a representative of the In
ternational Labor Defense. "a dl-
rect branch of the Communist
Party" also appeared 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
Committee were very cautious
about accepting aid from the Com
munist Party"
Schrimpf couldn't recall who
these conservatives were.
The fourth week of Bridges
trial opened yesterday. Two
union associates, Henry Schmidt
and j. r. Robertson. also are on
trial charged with conspiracy to
defraud the Government in their

Back Plan for COP.
50 Policy Statement
By the Associated Press

Two Republican Senators said
today the Republicans are going
to draft a 1850 congressional cam
paign platform despite the diff
Guilty Of agreeing on issues.
Senator Brewster of Maine, who
heads the party's Senatorial Cam
paign Committee, told reporter
he thinks congressional leaders
will fall in line behind the pro-
posal of Guy Gabrielson. Repub-
lican national chairman, for a
statement of party principles.
Senator Brewster said that even
Senator Taft of Ohio, who has
opposed the move, has agreed to
draft a brief statement of his
ideas for study by committee
which Mr.. Gabrielson is expected
to name soon.
Senator Taft heads the party S
Senate Policy Committee and dis
agrees sharply with some of his
Republican colleagues. particularly
on foreign policies.
Butler Backs Plan.
In a separate interview Senator
Butler of Nebraska threw his sup
port to the policy statement plan
Senator Butler was named. along
with Senator Lodge of Massachu-
sets, earlier in the year as a Sen
ate representative on policy
committee which former Repub.
lican National Chairman Hugh D
Scott, jr., was forming when {

mittee cost Mr.. Scott his job.

platform is a slogan that we car
take to the people in the election
something that will put our ideas
across Senator Butler said. "Wel
have to draft statement of prin.
ciples, too, but it should be brie1
and to the point"
Senator Lodge recently called
on Republicans to adopt posi-
tive" program, asserting that the
party can't win next year if it has
a "say-nothing" attitude ano
merely opposes Democratic pro-
posals.
Some of the pressure for a Re-
publican statement apparently is
coming from potential contribu-
tors who have demanded that the
party say what it stands for be.
fore they decide to support it.
Oppose Whole Fair Deal"
Most of this group are said tt
want a statement attacking abou
everything that President Truman
has included in his Fair Deal
program.
In this they have the supporr
of such party members as Sena'
tor Bricker of Ohio, who has tole
colleagues here that he is coming
back to Washington in Januar!
with both political fists swinging
against 'SoclallStlc' proposals.
On the other hand, Senator
Taft is likely to fight vigorousl!
any Republican attacks on public
housing, aid to education ane

ment of principles in hand. Sena
