SAN FRANCISCO, June 1
(P) Sam Darcy, who ran for
governor in 1934 as the Commu
nist Party candidate, is here to
testify before the federal grand
jury.
The jury's probe of "the Harry
Bridges case" will b resumed
todav.
Bridges, head of the CIO Long
shoremen's and Warehousemen's
Union, was indicled last week,
accused of perjury and conspira
cy in oblaining his naturaliza
tion papers in 1945. He was born
in Australia.
There was speculation that the
new hearing would go beyond the
Bridges issue; that it would open
up the wider field of reputed
Communist activities in Pacific
Coast labor unions.
Darcy will be one of about 13
new witnesses.
Darcy, described years ago as
America's No. 2 Communist, was
expelled from the party several
years ago on charges of "demo
cratic centralism." He refused to
day to discuss what Information
he might supply the grand jury.
But he confirmed he would be a
witness.
In Bridges' 1941 deportation
hearing, Harry Lundeberg, AKL
sailors' union chief, testified that
