Velde Ignores Threat
By Bridges, Pushes
Red Probe on Coast
sy the Assoeiassd Press

SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. a.
Ignoring threats Of Harry
Bridges longshoremen for a
stop-work protest march on its
hearing, the House Un-American
Activities Committee today con-
tinued taking testimony that
Communists are trying to infil-
trate this strategic area.
Chairman Velde said the prob
erS would turn today to Com
munist activity in the East Bay
area-Oakland Berkeley-site of
important military bases and the
University of California's atomic
research laboratories.
Mr.. Bridges international
Longshoremen's and Warehouse
mems Union ordered a stop-work
meeting at $3.50 am. tomorrow
at City Hall, site of the hearings,
after a friendly witness identi-
fed several Bridges aides as one
time Communists. Forty ships
stand to be tied up.
Wheeler Defies Quiz.
The committee also heard the
first witness of several who are
expected to refuse to testify on
constitutional grounds. The first
was Donald N. Wheeler, Sequim,
Wash, wartime OSS agent
named by FBI Director j. Ed
gar Hoover in Senate hearings
as a member of a Red spy ring
with Harry Dexter White and
others.
Wheeler, a dairy farmer, re-
fused to tell whether he is a
Soviet agent, whether he knew
White, his employment since
1888 or his present occupation
even when directed to do so.
Mr.. Velde dismissed the polite
but firm witness with the COM
rnent:
"ThiS refusal would only
lead any reasonable man to con-
clude you must be engaged in
some nefarious, some criminal
activity at the present time
this certainly does point up the
need for additional security
legislation"
This was considered a hint

Gen. Eisenhower had said in a
news conference last July % that
he would not dodge any Quarrels
with Senator Mccarthy on issues
but at the same time did not in
tend to crack down on him as q

Gen. Eisenhower emphasized
at that time that he was going
to stand for what he believes is
right and if that is in opposition
to what some one else says it's
just too bad. But he also stressed
that he never deals in terms of
personalities.
Mr.. Dulles news conference

the Mccarthy attack on ad-
ministration foreign policy stuck
to the issues and also avoided
even mentioning Senator Nc
Carthy by name.
