BY the Associoted Press

SAN FRANCISCO. April l.
the jury in the Harry Bridges per-
jury trial but its finger on the nub
of the prosecution case today and
asked for a reading of the record.
The eight men and four women
who took the case under delibera-
ton yesterday sent word from
their room today: May we have
the testimony of John Scho-
maker?"
Schomaker. one-time active in
waterfront union leadership and
professed ex-CommuniSt, had tes-
tilted he solicited Bridges to Com
munist, had testified he solicited
Bridges to Communist member
ship. issued party member books
to him. and saw him pay dues.
Swore He Wasn't Communist.
Bridges. president of the CIO
Longshore Union. was tried on the
charge that he prejudiced him
self by denying at his 1945 citizen
ship hearing that he ever was a.
Communist. During his trial heI
swore repeatedly he wasn't and
never was one.
Federal Judge George B. Harris
asked the jurors if they wanted
the entire trial transcript.
Juror Glenn L. christensen,
who apparently has been elected
foreman, replied: what we have
in the mind is the testimony about
Schomaker and B. B. Jones, and
the (CommuniSt application card

examination on same"
Government attorneys appeared
pleased. They had made much of
Schomaker's testimony.
Schomaker's Story.
Schomaker had told the Jury
that in the autumn of 1888, he
and Jones, another waterfront
worker. went to the restaurant
with Bridges for coffee. There,
Bridges was asked why he didn't
join the Communist Party, the
witness said he acted kind of
coy" and discussed what party
name he could use. Schomaker
said they suggested he adopt the
name "T. G.. Plant" that chat
would be amusing" Thomas G.
Plant then was one of the water
fronts biggest employers.
Schomaker testified he was
called out of the restaurant.
Twenty minutes later, he said.
Jones came out alone, and showed

BALTIMORE, Oct. 14.-Senator
Tydings, Democrat, and his Re
publican opponent. John Marshall
Butler, are competing for favor of
10000 silent voters" in the re-
cent Democratic primary.
Maryland's senior Senator
claims them all. On the other
hand, Republicans are confident
OF victory on November 7 if Mr..
Butler gets even half of them.
What is meant by silent
voters?" Just this: In round
numbers, 100000 Democrats voted
for Gov. Lane and his four pri-
mary opponents last month. But
only 260.000 voted for Senator
Tydings and his two opponents.

is, what happened to the other

Justice Douglas Sees
World Government
As Indispensable

Supreme Court Justice William
o. Douglas last night declared
world government. with powers
exceeding those Of the United Ma
tions, is indispensable to sur
vival" now that atomic weapons
are a reality.
Justice Douglas outlined his
support Of world government as
he addressed the fourth annual
general assembly of the United
World Federalists. meeting at the
Shoreham Hotel. He is a vice
president of the organization.
In the Korean situation, the
United Nations was enabled to act
quickly and effectively to quell
aggression" Justice Douglas de-
clared. When aggression struck,
1t was apparent to all that the
only effective means of dealing
with 1t was strong United Ma
tions organization"
Cites Happy Accidents"
But, the Supreme Court Justice
said, the happy accidents"-the
fact that Russia had walked out
previously and was not attending
the Security Council meetings
that enabled the Security Council
to function free of the veto may
not occur again" even though the
need for speedy and effective ac-
ton may be acute.
Mr.. Douglas said the world gov
ernment idea was not antagoniStic
to the United Nations. It Is a
strengthening of the United Ma
tions, he stated, a grant to it Of
the power to meet and deal with
the pressing problem Of this CEN
tury-the problem Of war and the
waste caused by excessive arma-
ments.
Must Catch Aggressor.
Justice Douglas declared there
was one important and crucial
function to be performed by an
international organization. That
is to catch the aggressor before
he breaks loose. He added:
mo remedy has ever been sug-
geSted to meet the need except
world government. 1t is the only
possible check on the aggressive
potential of a country. Under q
system of inspection and enforce
ment, any accumulation Of arm
aments could be quickly discov-
cred, and the aggression could be
detected and punished before it
had laid low the nations Of the
world"
Before Justice Douglas spoke.
delegates saw a short play which
pointed out the objections now
raised against world government
were the same raised by those
who, years ago, did not want to
see the 13 States united in a Fed
eral Government to form the

immediate action on pay raise
legislation.
The AFL American Federation
Of Government Employees. q mem
Der union Of the council, and the
National Federation of Federal
Employees. recently set the ma
chinery in motion for new Gov
lernment pay raise campaign at
their respective conventions.
The Government Employee
Council recently decided to push
for legislation when the 81st
Congress returns on November n
for several weeks.
There's hardly q chance that
any pay raise legislation could be
approved during this lame duck
session.
However, the council feels that
the groundwork can be laid during
this period for the real pay raise
drive that will start when the new
Congress convenes in January.
STATISTICS-The unions are
now engaged in compiling stats
tics to support their request for
a new Federal pay raise. .
The Government E Employees
Council several days ago issued a
statement quoting Bureau Of La
Dor Statistics figures showing
that the food price index now
stands at 212, based on 100 for
1868 costs, wearing apparel Is
at 1859. and house furnishings,
at 1898.
Employe leaders declare that
Government workers "have fallen
far behind in their battle with
rising prices"
Despite four Federal pay boosts

is only a naturalization" of the
results. The Butler forces see the
vote-or absence of it-as a silent
protest" against the Senator.
Its all very simple" the Sena-
tor says. MY name was not on
the sample ballots given out in
Baltimore and Baltimore County.
Some were marked for Gov. Lane
and some were marked for Ma
loney George P. Maloney, the
Governors principal opponent in
the primary.
Stayed Out of Fight.
II wanted it that way. stayed
out of the gubernatorial fight and
could see no reason why I should
enter on either side because had
friends on both sides. There were
q lot of people who voted the
straight ticket and just pulled the
(voting machine) levers for those
candidates that were marked on
their sample ballots"
He said there was sufficient
difference in votes in Baltimore
and Baltimore County to con-
vince him this was the principal
reason.
The official returns show that in
the city and county 241 ,084 Dem
ocrats voted for gubernatorial
candidates while only 1851 bal
loted in the senatorial contest-a
difference of t04,773 who appar-
emily did not vote in the latter
bracket. ...
Buffers Reaction.
This lis Mr.. Buffers reaction:
THAT is a he'll of q commentary
on the intelligence and integrity
of the voter. He says. in effect,
that one-third of the Democrats
had to have it spelled out for
them-that they didn't know how
to vote until they had sample
ballots in their hands"
Those in the Butler headquar-
ters here sat down and studied
the figures.
'The Senator's explanation
might apply if there had been a
small vote when only the faithful
can be counted on to vote the
straight ticket, they say. But
look at the size of the turnout.
Big Vote Cited.
1.-THE total vote in the O'Conor-
Markey fight in 1916 for Demo-
Gratis and Republicans was nearly
100000 and the Democratic pri-
mary vote alone this year totaled
over 380, ,000."
The reference was to the elec-
ton Of Senator O'Conor, Demo-
crat, over D. John Markey, Re-
publican, by a margin of less than
1900 votes.
The Butler headquarters says it
has figured the chances are $3.50
for a COP victory.
Senator Tydings says he is not
the least bit worried.
But don't you say that I don't
know that I have a fight on my
hands" he adds. II never consider

contend.
They cite figures showing that
Federal employees have had their
salaries increased by about 56 per
cent since 1910. while living costs
have gone up about rs per cent.

SPONSORSHIP It's expected
that Chairman Johnston Of the
Senate Civil Service Committee
will take the lead in sponsoring
Federal pay raise legislation. Sen
ator Johnston already has de-
clared that he will sponsor such
a bill unless living costs take a
downward trend.
The various employe groups
have not decided on what amount
they will seek. The figure they
ask for will depend on what the
cost Of living index is in January
when the new Congress convenes.
