Bridges Hawaii Agent
Refuses 10 Answer if
He Was Communist
BY the Asseeietsd Press

HONOLULU, April IA men,
ber of Hawaii's Constitutional
Convention refused to tell the
House Committee on Un-Ameri-
can Activities yesterday If he Is
or was a Communist.
Thus Frank G.. Silva, business
agent at Kauai for Harry Bridges
CIO International Longshoremen's
and WarehouSemen's Union, be-
came the fifth witness to defy the
committee at its hearing. Repre-
sentative Walter. Democrat. Of
Pennsylvania. chairman OF the
investigating subcommittee, said
contempt citations would be filed
against them in Washington.
Others Face Action.
Open to contempt action along
with him are Jack Hall, Hawaii
boss of Bridges union; Wilfred
Okla. Democratic Party secretary
and former HWU organizer;
Charles K. Fujimoto, chairman of
Hawaii's Communist Party, and
Ralph Tokunaga, former president
of an ILWU local.
Attorneys for the union have
announced the contempt citations
will be the basis for q new chal-
lenge OF the committees right to
ask the Communist question.
This right was upheld Monday by
the United States Supreme Court
In the case Of 10 Hollywood movie
writer's.
Silva hurried to the hearing
from the constitutional eonven-
ton hall.
Communist Testifes.
After refusing 10 answer, he
handed the press q statement
denying he ever had been a Com
munist. He said q denial before
the committee would be useless
because "perjured testimony by
witnesses out to get me could
still cause q lot Of trouble"
Then Communist Ichiro Izuka
returned and testified Silva once
showed him q party card and told
him he (Silva) had been q Com
munist for some time.
Fujimoto himself had an
nounced In 194S that he was TAX
ing over the Craftsmanship of the
Communist Party. Yet he re-
fused to tell the committee If he
was or had been q Communist.
