meets the test of nobility by sailing
and splitting upon the great machine
to make it really useful. When the
oil we'll thereafter comes docilely
into being, the drilling crew thinks
the conquest is its own, but Joseph
knows better.
1t adds up to a far better story
than complex minds produce fol
movies that cost 10 times as much
and entertain 10 times as little.
One of its oddly dramatic ref1ec.
tions is Fqaherty's acceptance Of the
truth that Joseph and the oil COM
pany are equally American. He is
clearly happy to have them both
in his picture, and if he makes more
of Joseph, well, it is just that boy
has more dramatic possibilities un-
der the circumstances.

Louisiana Story" is almost super
naturally natural in it's devotion tc
its scene and the tempo of life upon
it. Flaherty's camera is content
just to look around, to catch the
ripple of sunlight on the giant
grasses of the swamp. the air plants
which dress the huge sweep OF
forest, the reflections of the snort
ing derrick upon the waters of the
bayou.
The ultimate object of its search
to be sure, is invariably Joseph and
the oil men. but Flaherty empha-
sizes that these are not indispen-
sable to his dramatic purposes. He
knows all the tricks of making the
camera talk when the sound track
is saying not a word, but is busy
instead with an arrangement of a

Louisiana Story" ends as quietly
as 1t begins, with the oil well work
ing, the huge drill on its way to an
other bayou beyond Petit Anse, and
Joseph and his parents with a bit OF
material riches to add to the spirit
ual fortune that is already theirs.
They will not come out to act in
other movies, nor will the oil crew
whose members played for Flaherty
but untold moviegoers will remem-
ber them long after they have for
gotten what Lana Turner looks like.

Other Unions 10 Help
Pay 100000 Defense
Cost in Bridges Trial
BY the Assoeioted Press

SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. al
Longshore Leader Harry Bridges
perjury trial, resuming today after
a weekend recess. will cost the
defense about 100000, the CLIO
Longshoremen's Union estimates.
Morris Watson, the unions pub
lie information officer. said long
shoremen would not put up all
that money. He said it is being
subscribed from many sources,
much of it from other unions.
Longshore locals, he said, have
voted assessments ranging from
81 to SIS member.
Australian-born Bridges, stormy
labor, figure for years on West
Coast waterfronts, is on trial in
Federal Court here charged with
perjury in denying Communist
membership at his naturalization
hearing in 1945. Two union Off
Gals. Henry Schmidt and j. r..
Robertson. are being tried with
him on conspiracy charges.
Government attorneys said they
expected to present their first
major witness today. When the
trial recessed Friday, Lloyd H.
Garner. immigration and natural
ization examiner who represented
the Government at Bridges ma
turalizetion hearing, was on the
stand. .
In his opening statement. Assis-
tant United States Attorney Rob-
ert Mcmillan said the Government
would prove that Bridges was an
active dues-paying member OF the
Communist Party of the United
States for years before his natu-
ralization.
Mr.. Garner. testified that
Bridges, Schmidt and Robertson
all testified that Bridges was not
and had not been a Communist.
On cross-examination, the de-
tense brought out that charges of
Communist membership had been
made against Bridges as early as
1899 and presumably investigated
by the Government before the
hearing.
Deportation hearings were held
in 1899 and 1871. However, Fed
eral Judge George B. Harris, hear
ing the present trial, has in
structed the jury to disregard
those hearings.
