Asking dismissal of the suit. A ft P said there is "no justification in fact or in law for the drastic and confiscatory destruction" of the company. The company't 109-point answer said the justice department "is asking this court to adopt, by ju dicial fiat, new and extremist prin ciples of law which would result in a complete remodeling of the entire economic structure of this company."

He had no comment afterward, in contrast with his charge of "im migration frameup" at the end of his stormy, 81-day trial. His attorneys, both of whom were sentenced for contempt dur ing the bitterly waged trial, said they would vigorously oppose any move to revoke Bridges' citizen ship. They also said they would carry appeals to the supreme court, u necessary, contending that the trial was conducted on a "political" and even a "patri otic" basis. Judge Harris, in rejecting a motion for a new trial, denied that "the verdict was the result of hysteria" or thst the trial was "an oblique attack on militant trade unions." All three defendants were re leased on bail, but it was in creased. Bridges' was fixed at 125, 000 and the other two men at S10, 000 ipiece. Previously, each of the three had been under $5,000 bail. Court Again Assailed Defense Attorney Vincent Halli nan, under six months' sentence for contempt, and his colleague, James Maclnnis, under three months' sentence, made more charges of bias against Judge Harris yesterday while striving to arrest judgment and gain a new trial. When Maclnnis referred to "the indescribable bitterness and ha tred in this case," Judge Harris interrupted. "When you ascribe any hatred to this court," he said, "for the record I would like to say that I have felt no bitterness, hatred or ill will in this rase." Before paselig sentence, the judge observed: I say that the verdicts are fair and just. The verdicts will stand a courageous decision on the part of an intelligent jury . . . they will serve as a lasting memorial that the integrity of the naturaliza tion laws of these United States must be upheld."

They gave the site as Lepaya (Libau) on the Bal tic sea, and said the plane pene trated about 13 miles into Latvia, which is regarded by Moscow as Soviet territory. Foreign Minister Vishinsky, in his protest to U. S. Ambassador Alan Kirk, said the plane "bearing American identification marks" was sighted south of Lepaya last Satur day. "Owing to the fact that the American plane continued to pene trate into Soviet territory, a flight jof Soviet planea took off from a nearby aerodrome and demanded that the American follow it and ! land at the aerodrome," the pro j test added. I "The American pUne not only failed to comply with thia demand j but opened fire on the Soviet planes. Owing to this, an advanced Soviet fighter was forced to open fire in reply, after which the American plane turned toward the aea and disappeared." Vishinsky denounced the Incident I as a gross violation of the Soviet frontier and "an unheard of viola- tion of the elementary rules of in ternational law. - U. S. air force headquarters at Wiesbaden had no report that any U. S. military aircraft, aside from the navy plane, was flying in the Baltic area Saturday. Air force officers said that if the Russian report waa true, the miss ing navy plane may have been damaged by Soviet fighter fire to such an extent it could not reach a place of safety. The air force quoted a crew mem ber of the missing plane, who did not make the flight, as saying the craft did not have any weapons or ammunition aboard but that one officer may have carried a .45 caliber service pistol. Fliers said the navy's "Priva teer" bears some resemblance to the B-29, but that an experienced observer would not mistake the two.
