Harry Bridges, West Coast Boss Of Longshoremen, In Nevs Again WASHINGTON l'PI Harry RiMilon Bridges, whose record of Communist front performances is as long as your arm, is in the news again with a challenge to U.S. law. Bridges is the fellow-traveler hoss of I lie West Coast Long shoremen. He has just "respect fully declined to comnly" with a federal request for a list of Com munis! s and ex-convicts in his im on. The request was made un der authority of Section 5(14 of the new Labor Ileform Law. The tederal governme.it already is a two-time loser to Bridges in r.'atters of law. In June, 1953. the Supreme Court relieved him of a prison sentence and restored his citizenship. Tlrs decision was based largely 01 technicalities. A lower court had convicted Bridges of perjury and fraud in obtaining citizenship by naturalization. The offense charged was that he had On Bomb Prank School Calls, What Does The Principal Do?

The Supreme Court in 19i3 held that the statute of limitations had outlawed the perjury charge of which Bridges had been found guilty. The Communist party, thereby, triumphed in a contest hich began midway in Franklin D. Roosevelt's second term. On March 2, 1938, the Labor Department ordered Bridges' ar rest and deportation to Australia on charges that he was an alien Communist. The Communist party supported Bridges in legal ma neuvers until that order was car ried to the Supreme Court and cancelled. Bridges then obtained naturalization. Attorney General Francis Bid die officially tagged Bridges a Communist on May 2. 1942, in support of the 1938 deportation order which then was bogged in long hearings.

The 4.700 students under Lewis' jurisdiction lost a day of school ing this week because of a tele phoned bomb threat, the latest in a scries in the five-county area which includes the Dayton and Cincinnati metropolitan centers. The first scare occu-red in North College Hill, a suburb of Cincinnati, in September. Offic'als closed the schools for a day but reopened them tbe following Sat urday and made attendance man datory. The school received no more threats. Woman Phones Threat A woman telephoned police in Carlisle, a small town 10 miles south of Dayton, Monday aid said a bomb had been planted in a school. About 1.400 students were sent home. Police searched all schools in the town but found no bomb. Tuesday, a caller telephoned the Sugar Creek School in Bell brook, near Beaver Creek Town ship, at 12:15 p.m. He said a bomb would go off within 45 min utes. School was dismissed for the day. Lewis said he thought the call his school system received was just the beginning of another rash. One threat inspires another somewhere else, he said.

Wallace's Communist sparked presidential campaign. Over the years the House Com mittee on Un-American Activities and Biddle cited Bridges as a Communist, as an advocate of class warfare and ot the over throw of the U.S. Government by force. The commitave named the Communist party as directed and Bridges as sponsor of the 1934 San Francisco .general strike. Revolutionized Workers After that strike. Jack Stachel, Communist trade union specialist wrote: "What will happen it the workers elect not only one Bridges, but hundreds of Bridges in section and district leader ship? There will be big struggles The workers willl become revolu tionized." The committee reported that from the moment of the 1938 deportation order, the Commu nist party sponsored Bridges' de fense, assessing members and otherwise raising funds and mak ing propaganda. Bridges reached for strategic Hawaii. When FBI agents in Aug ust, 1951, arrested seven persons described as Hawaii's top Com munists, one of them was Jack Wayne Hall, a regional director of Bridges' longshoreman's union. When Nikita S. Khrushchev vis ited the United States, the lone labor leader he sought out with whom to exchange kind and com radely greetings was this same Bridges in his San Francisco headqua'ters. The foregoing are some of the notable aspects of the career of technical citizen Bridges.

U.S. Farm Workers Double Productivity Last WASHINGTON ITI '-The Ag multure Department said loJay the productivity of the ration's farm workers had nearly doubled in the last 10 years. Another report showed that pro ductivity in agriculture had risen more than twice as fast as pro ductivity in industry. The Agriculture Department's index of production for each man- hour of labor in agriculture stood at 104 in 1948. four per cent nliove the 1947-49 average. A new report placed the index at 188 in I9."8. a gain of 84 per cent in the last 10 yea's. A labor Department study, meanwhile, showed that between 1948 a:id 1957. the productivity of manufacturing werkers roe 26 per per cent while the productivity of larm workers went up mo e than til per cent. WASHINGTON UTI'-The Ag riculture Department announced plans today to buy an undisclosed Leading Moon Expert Says Russ To Land LONDON H'PIi One of Brit ain's leading moon experts said Im! ay that Russia will land an instrument rocket on the moon "in the very near future."' Such a landing may even be "imminent," said sclenographer 'moon scientist i Patrick Moore, who has many contacts among Russian space scientists. Moore said the moon landing was part of a comprehensive Sov iet plan to carry out so much basic research on the earth's own satellite that it will, in effect, "become Russia's own scientific preserve." '"There won't be much left for the United Stales or anyone else to do on or ulwut the moon if the Sov iet program proceeds on sched ule." he said. Moore said the Russians had completed two phases of their four-part program with Lunik II which hit the moon and Lunik III which photographed it. Lunik IV will carry instruments to the moon and then, he said will come the great adventure of trying to land a man on the moon. "The manned flight is some years off." Moore said. But the instru ment rocket is ready right now. Lunik III proved the Russians had everything rocket power, guid ance, telemetering devices they need for such an effort except, perhaps, the reverse rockets for slowing up the space station at the moment of impact on the moon's surface. "Compared to what they have already achieved, this is a com paratively simple technical prob-. lem. Once such a station reaches ' the moon in operating condition the only thing left for the United States will be to beat a Russian man on the surface. And that will take a lot of doing." j CELEBRATE ANNIVERSARY SAIGON.

WASHINGTON 'ITI' The Ag riculture Department's research chief says improved enforcement of animal and plant quarantines would pay rich dividends for the nation's economy. Dr. Byron T. Shaw told a con ference on agricultural quarantines Tuesday that when plant or ani mal pests from abroad enter the United Sta'es they're expensive to eradicate. Kr.r instance, he said, the khanra beetle, a stored-grain ix'st which got into the country is eradicated at a cost of about sev en million dollars. The government has spent 18 million dollars to eradicate the Mediterranean fruit fly, he said. The European com borer still docs -about 350 million dollars in damage to crops annually.
