His idea is to bring social re-

this should not be allowed for
in a true democracy the people

Bridges Is
Released
From Jail

SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 25-tR-

Federal Judge Michael j. Roche,
acting on a u. S. Circuit Court
mandate yesterday. signed the pa
pers making the CLIO longshore
union President a free man again,
while he appeals his conviction of
perjury.
Twenty days ago Federal Judge
George B. Harris ruled that Bridges
$4,000 bail should be revoked on
the governments representation
that he was menace" to the
security of the nation.
The Circuit Court yesterday said
the order to Jail Bridges was i'm
proper.
He was taken to the office Of
U. s. Commissioner Francis st. J.
Fox where he signed the paper, al
ready prepared, admitting him
again to $4,000 bail.
at seems as though I've done
this so often, Bridges murmured.
The majority 2-1 opinion yester-
day described Bridges falling as
novel and startling"
There is no showing" said
Judges William Healy and William
Orr, that Bridges has in the pres
ent position committed any recog-
nizable crime, or that he has him
self counseled or advocated sabotage
or sought to foment strikes or the
establishment of picket lines on
the waterfront"
In dissenting, Judge Clifton
Mathews cited trial Judge Harris
statement that the Communist
PARTY is a conspiracy and members
of the party ARE parties to that
conspiracy"
In April, Bridges was convicted
of having lied-by swearing that
he never was a Communist-to OBJ
tain citizenship in 1915. He was
born in Australia.
He was freed on bond pending
appeal from that conviction.

most entirely with Alaska.
The Washington state Senator
said that the United States needed
Alaska both for the territory's re-

Governor Charges "StalIing'
Magnuson read to the Senate a
telegram from Gov. Gruening OF
Alaska in which Gruening said that
Senate majority leader Lucas OF
Illinois was "stalling" on bringing
up the Alaskan bill.
Senator Douglas (D-Ill) said
Gruening's statement was ''unchar-

He said Gruening acted improp-

The governors telegram, as read
by Magnuson, said:
"Gravely fear Scott Lucas is stall
ing us on bringing up the state

be shocking betrayal of democratic
aspirations, party pledges and pol
icy.
"At no time has action on state
hood been SO imperative as now.
Please do your utmost, including
seeing the President, to have these

Magnuson added: 1.-THE way we
