new aspect of the Bridges case
arose."

the waterfront union as one of
great power and influence, :"
Judge Mathews continued:
"A Communist Party member
could wish no better position
from which to sabotage the Amer
ican war effort and give aid and
comfort to his North Korean
Communist comrades.
THE danger here suggested is
not fanciful one. The ability
Of Bridges and his International
Longshoremen's and Warehouse

Coast shipping has been demon
strated more than once.
Called Agents of Soviet.
Judge Harris found and was
warranted in finding that Bridges
was still member of the Com
munist Party when the (baiD
order was revoked.
Communist Party members are
servants and agents of Soviet
Russia.
Ships transporting American
men, munitions and supplies to
the Korean war front are NOV

from Pacific Coast ports, includ-
ing those of Hawaii.
Employed at these ports are
thousands of workers who belong

subsidiaries of the International

and has been for many years the
president. This is a position of
great power and influence"

The majority opinion said:
"A Bridges singled out and
jailed by arbitrary judicial action,
while he is prosecuting with dill

to our minds a more serious men

tablished rules of law and the
decisions and practices of the

I'm the eyes of large number
OF well meaning people, as well as

Negro Doll Sale Held Up
After NAACP Protest
BY the Assoeiaied Press

NEW YORK, Aug. 25.-A dane
ing Negro doll, from Japan, is to
be withdrawn from the market
here as result of protests by the
National Association for the Ad-
vancement Of Colored People.
The toy represents a Negro
standing beneath 'Lenox Ave
125th St." sign. When wound
the figure dances a jig.
Yesterday two Broadway shops
received letters from the NAACP
requesting that sale of the dancer
be stopped because it serves to
|perpetuate an old stereotyped
conception of Negroes which re-
cent developments in race rela-
tions have all but banished."
Sidney Rothenberg, manager of
Ross Products. one of the import

call back the toys still on the
shelves of it's customers and will
import no more.

McGrath Saw Duty.
Attorney General McGrath said
It was "the clear duty of the JUS
tice Department to move to revoke
Bridges bail, "but we must accept
the decision of the court"
The Bridges case, Mr.. McGrath
said. differs sharply from the
Governments action in New York
in seeking revocation of the bail
Of the II convicted Communist
Party leaders.
In that instance, the Court of
Appeals granted bail after it had
been refused by Trial Judge
Medina and the appellate body
consequently can revoke it if it
sees fit. ,--.
Mr.. McGrath pointed to the
fact that whereas Bridges had
been convicted of perjury, the New
York Communist had been found
guilty of teaching and advocating
overthrow of the Government by
force. -

Mr.. Donohue, who took leave
from a lucrative law practice to

to turn in his letter of resignation

When Bridges appealed it was

under bond pending decision on
his appeal.
1T was my judgment and the

He was freed on bond pending
appeal from that conviction.
Three weeks ago, United States
Prosecutor F. Joseph Donohue, of
Washington D. C., demanded that
Bridges bond be revoked and he
be jailed as "a threat to the Sc
curity Of the United States" Fed
eral Judge George B. Harris
agreed, and sent the union presi-
dent behind bars.
Donohue's Argument.
MIR. Donohue argued that
Bridges speeches opposing United
States Intervention in the Korean
war followed the Communist line.
The majority opinion freeing
Bridges on bail, described Bridges
'jalling as novel and startling"
There is no showing" said
Judges William Healy and Will
liam Orr, that Bridges has in the
present position committed any
recognizable crime, or that he
has himself counseled or advo-
Gated sabotage or sought to To-
ment strikes or the establishment
Of picket lines on the waterfront
or to impede by other means the
prompt loading and dispatch of
ships for the Far East.
"The whole matter appears
finally to boil down to the conten-
ton that Bridges is a proven
Communist in that he was found
guilty of perjury for swearing the
contrary in his naturalization pro-
ceeding: and that the subsequent
development of the Korean crisis
renders him per sc a menace to
the public security. hence the Dis
trict Court was. right in revoking
his bail and ordering him con-
fined"
In dissenting, Judge Clifton
Mathews cited Trial Judge Har-
ris' statement that the Com
munist Party is a conspiracy and
its members "are parties to that
conspiracy"
THE danger here suggested is
not a fanciful one," Judge
Mathews wrote. r 1.-THE ability of
Bridges and his International
Longshoremen's. and Warehouse
mems Union to paralyze Pacific
Coast shipping has been demon
Strated more than once"
The majority opinion said the
decision to free Bridges was based
on the two judges conviction that
the judiciary must remain firmly
Independent of the executive
branch Of the Government.
However hard and disagreeable
may be the task in times of, popu-
lar passion and excitement. it is
the duty of the courts to set their
faces like flint against this erosive

OF that experience took deep lodg-
ment in the hearts of English
