Bitter Words Fly In Bridges Perjury Trial

SAN FRANCISCO, (P) - The weekend recess brought a tenn porary halt to bitter exchanges between lawyers giving their ar guments to the jury in the gov ernment's perjury trial of Harry Bridges.
 The CIO longshore president is charged with lying at his l945 naturalization hearing when he denied he had ever been a com muniSt.
 Chief defense counsel Vincent Hallinan Friday blamed govern ment prosecutors for melting "the hatred and rage of the court and causing Hallinan to receive six month contempt of court sentence. The contempt incident occurred four months ago, near the outset of the trial.
 Hallinan asserted prosecutor F. Joseph DOnohue sought to prove Bridges a communist by reference to the fact that Bridges former attorney, Richard Gladstein, had defended convicted communists in New York.
 The special prosecutor asserted shipping industry leaders who tes- tified for Bridges, under the lash of Lou Galdblatt, secretary treas urer of Bridges union, came here and sold their conscience and their soul for the dollars of pro- fit"
 He pictured Bridges as a "vain, egotistical, clever and dangerous man with a lust for power" call ed him "a fraud ana faker who prates of democracy in the union he has ruled with an iron hand" He said Bridges turned to the communist party for power as naturally as a flower to the sun"

Rescue All Of Crew Of Fire-Explosion Destroyed Elder

PEARL HARBOR (P)-The en- tire crew - 40 men - of the net tender Elder were saved Friday in a double featured rescue near the United States atomic testing area in mid-Pacific.
 TWenty-six of the little 163-fo. ships crew were picked up in the afternoon from a life boat and two rafts lashed together. They had been adrift in shark-infested waters for a week.
 The other 14 crewmen were reached Friday night, still man. inning the fire-blackened, explo- sion-Wracked Elder. They refused to leave their helpless ship which had five feet of water in her en- zine room.
 The twin rescue cleared up the mystery of what happened to the Elder since she last reported Mar. 2 on a 2,800-mile voyage from Ha- waii to Eniwetok, scene of forth coming atomic experiments.
 But still unanswered Saturday was how the military transport Gen. A. w. Brewster passed up the net tender after sighting her Monday. The Elders skipper said his ship signalled the Brewster

Jessup Is ''Not Communist;'' Plays Sen. Mccarthy

WASHINGTON, (P)-Ambassa- dor Philip C. Jessup declared to- day that Senator Mccarthy R.- Wis.,, by accusing him of "com- munist affinity" showed shock ing disregard for the interests of our country"
 With a sweeping denial of any communist sympathies, Jessup told a Senate Investigating sub- committee that it is a matter of utmost gravity" when an Ameri- can envoy is "held up before the eyes of the rest of the world as liar and traitor"
 The ambassadors at-large lashed back to Mccarthy after speeding home from a survey mission to the Far East. He said that during his absence his integrity was at tackled only by two sources-Mc- Carthy and the Moscow official newspaper Izvestia.
 Jessup added:
 Anyone who believes in the concept of guilt by association might draw some startling con- clusions from this fact. However, I do not believe in the concept of guilt by association.
 Moreover, I do believe that anyone who, without adequate proof, levels a charge of conscious or ignorant support of commun- ism at a member of the United

Johnson Against Civil Defense Plan

WASHINGTON, (P)- Senator Edwin C. Johnson D.-Colo0 said Saturday a vast civil defense or ganization against atomic attack is not only unnecessary at this time but might even prove harm ful.
 The Colorado Senator, a mem Der fthe Senate-H House atomic energy committee, spoke out against needless Harm and waste" at a time when there is no immediate threat of war.
 He told a reporter the govern ment should work out detailed civil defense plans and program should be ready for operation whenever there is real danger"

News of the World At A Glance ---
Saturday. March ls. 1850 CBy The Associated PreSS)

(By The Associated Press) The Belgian government resign ed today in a dispute over the re- turn of exiled King Leopold to the throne.
 Leopold earlier had urged the coalition government to call Par liament and settle the royal ques- ton, which has torn the nation for months.
 Premier GaSton Eyskens' gov ernment of Social Christian Cath olic )and Liberal representatives fell when the Liberal faction re- fused to support the Catholics in inviting the exiled King to return.
 The Catholics, although the largest party in Parliament, lack an overall majority without the Liberals.
 The fall of the government came after 100000 mining and metal workers staged a 24-hour strike in the French-speaking Wal loon area in protest against Leo pold These workers returned to their jobs today but labor leaders warned this was only the begin ming of widespread demonstra- tions. Antwerp dock workers and civil servants voted to strike Mon day.
 The advisory referendum last Sunday showed 57.68 per cent of the nation favors Leopold's re- turn. Leopold in Switzerland yes terday called this an "unquestion- able majority" but many political observers contend it Is insufficient for a monarch who needs to have an undivided nation behind him.
 Leopold, as commander-in-chief of the Belgian army, ordered it's surrender to the NaZiS early in the war and did not follow his govern men-in-eXile to London.
 
 The currency of communist controlled East Germany took a deeper nose dive today. There was near panic in Berlin as holders of East marks raced to Western exchanges to swap their money at the rate of nine East marks for one West mark.
 In the black market, the East mark was worth only one-tenth of a West mark Exchange officials said "there is no telling how far the collapse will go."
 The East mark began it's decline immediately after Moscow an nounced the revaluation of the ruble on gold basis recently. Re. ports spread that East Germany was to be included with Russian satellites in a ruble bloc. Germans feared for their currency and started dumping East marks.

Legion Auxiliary Reports On Its
Rehabilitation Projects For This Year

The month of December is des-
ignated by The American Legion
as Rehabilitation month so, at
this time, special attention is given
to this important work carried on
faithfully, diligently and lovingly
by the Legion and it's Auxiliaries
throughout the year.
Rehabilitation, states Mrs. F. W.
Frey, chairman of the East Cleve-
land American Legion Auxiliary
Rehabilitation program, consists of
activities for the welfare of the
sick, the disabled, and the needy
veteran of our two great World
Wars whether in his own home
town or in a VAhospital. Rehab-
ilitation and Child Welfare are
the two great activities for which
the money obtained by the sale of
American Legion poppies is spent;
the money which the members of
this community have so gener-
ously contributed during the an
nual Poppy Day drive each May.
eve, of East Cleveland Ameri-
can Legion Auxiliary No. 1853 are
proud of our rehabilitation work
which you have made possible and
we wish at this time to report on
our program so that you may
know how your money is being
spent.
eve got underway on our fall
and winter activities about the
first of October with the 'adop-
ton of ward at the Dayton VA
Hospital. This adoption means
simply that we supply each veter-
an in the ward with cigarettes
during the year.
eve have contributed to the
Christmas Gift Shops at Grille VA
Hospital and at Brecksville Vet
eran Hospital. The real joy of
Christmas is in giving rather than
receiving and these gift shops pro-
vide varied gifts which may be
selected by the veteran and sent
to his wife or mother or sweet
heart at home. Volunteers help the
veteran in his selection, wrap his
gifts attractively, and mail them,
if he so desires, and, in this way
the veteran is comforted by the
knowledge that his family is re-
membered at the holiday season.
eve have sent Christmas gifts
of money to forty boys at the Day
ton VA Hospital and a case of
cigarettes to Grille. We have pro-
vided Thanksgiving baskets to
needy veteran families in our own
East Cleveland Community and
have arranged for Christmas bas-
kets to these same families.
Our volunteer workers are
spending long and difficult hours
at Grille and at Marine Hospital
each week.
eve hope to provide much
needed wheel chairs for Soldiers
and Sailors Home at Sandusky,
as we'll as socks and toilet ar

January we will send 100 pounds

Canteen books and gum to Grille.
And so our work goes on! May we
thank you who have made it pos
sible and may we invite you to
join with us in bringing cheer and
comfort to our valiant soldiers
who have given so much for u.s."
