Bridges Prosecutor
Denied Resignation,
Renamed for Case

The resignation of F. Joseph
Donohue as a special assistant has
been declined by Attorney Gen
eral McGrath.
Instead. Mr.. Donohue, previ-
ously appointed special United
States attorney to prosecute
Harry Bridges, has been reap
pointed in the event he is needed
again in the Bridges case, it was
learned yesterday.
Mr.. Donohue had offered his
resignation simultaneously with
Bridges recent release from
prison.
Mr.. Donohue had successfully
prosecuted the West Coast labor
leader of having had Communist
affiliations, and the labor leader
was free on bond, pending an ap-
peal, when West Coast judge
revoked his bond and sent him to
prison in the interest of national
security. The United States Court
OF Appeals, however, reversed the
order and released Bridges.
Confirms ReappOintment.
Mr.. Donohue confirmed his re-
appointment when questioned fol-
lowing his talk on the country's
Communist menace before the
Washington Building Congress in
the Mayf1ower Hotel.
Stressing the dangers of a fifth
column here, the attorney re-
minded the builders there are
$1,000 known Communists in the
country and that for each one
there probably are 10 satellite"
Communists.
Their objective is to overthrow
the United States Government. he
said, and added:
These $4,000 Communists are
more than there were in Russia
when the Communists took over
that country in 1917"
DiscloSeS Growth.
Mr.. Donohue also drew on his
prosecution OF Bridges to disclose
the growth of communism.
One witness before the Bridges
grand jury, he said, was a one
time District Negro who, after
graduating from Armstrong High
School, was sent to Russia by the
Communist Party to study in their
school for world revolutionary
agents.
The witness testified he at
tended the school in 1884 when
5000 students were enrolled. Of
these, the witness said, 4,500 were
Chinese.
Mr.. Donohue pointed out that
now-15 years after these $500
Chinese studied Leninism-Russia
has taken over China and soon
may control all of Asia.
Control 80 Per Cent of World.
I'm fact" Mr.. Donohue said, "a
few men in the Kremlin now con-
troll the lives of 80 per cent of
the earth's population.
Communism has so expanded,
he said, they probably would con-
troll italy. France probably would
not be able to restrain them and
sit is doubtful where the sympa-
thies of the present labor govern
ment of England would lie" in the
event of showdown. I
The attorney also laid consid- |
cradle emphasis on the need for
haste in preparing for war. Citing |
the comment of Senator Long,
Democrat of Louisiana, that Rus |
sia can be expected to drop bombs
on this country within the next
year or two, Mr. Donohue said:
II hope Senator Longs timing
Is right. We need the time to
prepare"

GRUEN|NG HOME
 FROM CONFERENCE

Washington officialdom looks upon the explosive Korean situa- tion as extremely grave. and "an anything may happen" attitude was being taken as Gov. Ernest Gruening took off for home, he said this morning.
 The governor arrived here last night after attending the annual governors conference held in White Sulphur Springs w. Va, and a White House conference with Presi- dent Truman.
 The conference, attended by 43 state heads and the governors of Hawaii and Alaska, was of particu- lar importance to impending issues here, Gruening said. Main topic was Organization and Re-organi- zation of State Governments"
 Of six resolutions adopted by the group, two bore directly upon Alas kan affairs, he said. One was re- commendation to the Senate h. terior Committee to report out fav- orably the statehood bill now pend- ing before it, and the second urged that defenses be made adequate in the Northland, "the strengthening of which is so essential to the safety of the entire nation"
 Streamlined procedures adopted in New Jerseys new constitution were discussed by that states gov- ernor, and other subjects of im- portance to Alaska were taken up.
 One of these was the care and custody of the insane. New methods of handling those committed to asylums were discussed. Improved techniques has led to an 30 percent cure in many cases, the governor learned.
 Uniformity in load requirements for trucks using state highways was asked, to save the nations highways, was taken up at the meet, with all governors urging that some method be adopted to bring load requirements to a na- tional. rather than state, level.
 Water resources, flood control stream pollution, and availability of drinking water were also discussed

Congress 0ks
 $50 Million
 To Aid Korea

WASHINGTON. June 26 - R - A compromise s653, ,76l .8O8 appropri- ation bill including $50,OO0,OO for economic aid to embattled Korea was passed today by the House and returned to the Senate.
 The bill also includes funds for a speedup in programs for develop ment of faster airplanes and new weapons to combat submarines. It had passed both the Senate and the House previously. but disagree ments over amounts made the com promise necessary.
 The S50.000,000 for economic help to South Korea, which was invaded over the weekend by Communists, was not in controversy. The Presi- dent had requested s60,0OO,0O0 but the House Appropriations Commit tee said on May 19 the lesser sum was adequate in view of sufficient uncertainty in certain phases of the program"
 Most of the money in the bill IS for deficiencies incurred by mis- cellaneous federal agencies during the present fiscal year.

NEW STATE BILL EXCELLENT, WILL
 PASS: BARTLETT

WASHINGTON, June 26 - R -
 Delegate Bartlett of Alaska said today he considers the Alaska statehood bill as revised by the Senate Insular Committee "an ex- cellent measure"
 T believe the committee will ap- prove it at its meeting Wednesday and believe the Senate will pass it." he told a reporter.
 Bartlett said the Senate com mittee provision giving Alaska 400,- 900 acres of land when it becomes a state and 20,0OO,OO0 more acres in five years is an improvement over the House-approved measure.
 The House voted to give the new state 3l,000,000 acres over course of years. Under the Senate bill. Alaska could select its 10000, ,Cv0 acres from the best land and not have to take four sections in each township as under the House bill. If Congress passes the statehood bill and President Truman signs it, Bartlett figures the Territory could not become a state until late in 1852.
 If the state is organized by 1852" Bartlett said, T will think we would have made good time.'

SEATTLE, June 26-tRt-The gov- ernment's antitrust suit against Alaska Steamship Company, if suc- cessful, could mean the "end of water transportation to all the Ter ritory by private enterprise" G. w Skinner, President of the ship line, says in statement.
 The antitrust division of the US Attorney Generals office filed a civil injunction suit in Anchorage, Alaska, June 9 against the Alaska Line and it's officers.
 Skinner, in letter to the con- pany's personnel and customers termed the suit "an unwarranted attack" on the company and sim ply another strand in the moose being prepared by certain elements in government to hang so-caileo big business"
 Skinner denied that the ship line "conspired" to destroy compe- tition or to "monopolize" the Alas ka trade. All ship line operations, practices and rates are subject tc regulation under Federal shipping acts, he said.
 "The suit, if successful could mean the end of water transporta- tion to all the Territory by private enterprise" Skinner said. Tt is the next step toward socialized gov ernment operation of steamship service to the Territory, the con- mercial operation of the govern ment-owned and operated North Star being the first"
