--As Bridges stepped onto the
gangplank of a boat today for
the half-hour trip to the scene of
the trial, ne was served yfith a
complaint naming him co-defend-
nt with John U. Lewis and a
publication, the "Timber Worker"

the Oregon-Washington council of
"the Lumber and Sawmill Workers
of America, AFL. I.
I The complaint charged that
writings in the ."Timbep Worker,"
organ of CIO lumber workers, had
defamed the AFL group.
Landis, head of the Harvard
law school, disposed of accusa
tions of false testimony against
the first government witness, Ma

.'Ore., by discharging the witness
'and directing that his testimony

bor department's solicitor general
for a decision on whether crim

'' The Western Worker, organ of
ihe communist party which has
jbeen discontinued, was abandoned,
I Leech said, in order to create
If papers with an appeal to a great
fer mass of people."
"In this period (1934 to 1931)
She communists' papers were pab
llshed from , t biased point of
tlew, biased from a communistic
standpoint, and not always ap
tpealing to trade unionism and
other organisations.''

leech testified, in running eandl

"m'unlsts believed that even should
'party members be elected, they
'would be prevented by "macbina

Leech said he had attended the
193C national convention of the
'communist party in New York
'city at which he claimed Bridges
'was elected to the United States
central committee.
" "Today he said he did not see
Bridges at the convention, but de

Hoover Gives
Engineers Job
Getting People Back to
Work Is Their Task,
- He Declares
SAN FRANCISCO, July 13. -()
-Herbert Hoover told a group of
engineers at Treasure Island to
day : returning the American
people to work was "a vital emer
gency Job for the objective
minds of the engineers." .
"You are the diagnosticians of
industry," the former president,
honor guest at "engineers' day" at
the Golden Gate International ex
position, said. "Ton . are . the
trouble-shooters. Moreover, you
are the third party between capi
tal and labor. Tour profession is
to make things work. Something
has gone wrong in the functioning
of industrial life. Whether the
sociologists, the economists and
the politicians are wholly to blame
1 shall not discuss. But we have
gone through nearly nine years
with seldom less than 11,000,000
of our fellow citizens without Jobs.
"And unless there be a better
solution than the confused think
ins' now current, there are no
productive jobs in sight for them
And so long as they are unem
ployed, our farmers will suffer
also."
Hoover declared that unem
ployment, to the Individual man,
means justifiable discontent with
a system under which such misery
comes upon millions through no
fault of their own."
"Pending its (unemployment's)
solution," he continued, "the gov
ernment must provide against
destitution. Americans cannot al
low their fellow citizens to go
hungry. But support by the gov
ernment can offer no security or
hope for the future.
"And solution through relief
to both unemployed and farmers
cannot go on Indefinitely. We
are borrowing all the money to
pay these gigantic deficits which
unemployment causes. That road
leads to bankruptcy .which no
democracy has ever yet survived.
We still, have some economic fat
on our bones even after these
nine years, but It will not last
forever,
"It was predominantly unem
ployment, its causes and conse
quences, which drove a dosen
nations In the last 29 years to
abandon democracy and its sys
tem for tree men. The only al
ternative to long failure of em
ployment is dictatorship and A
system of forcible coordination
of a nation." ,
To remedy the situation. Us
causes must first be found, Mr.
Hoover said.
"And for those causes we
must go outside the field of
mechanistic economics and dema
gogic politics," he Eaid.
"I suggest to you that the real
cense lies in the emotional field.
Ours is a system of voluntary ac
tion on the part of Individual
human beings. Voluntary action
Is dominated by the emotions of
confidence in future or of un
certainty, and fear. 'There are
great uncertainties . a n d fears

House Voles
FDR Library
Republicans Object, but
Bill Sweeps Through
221 to 124
WASHINGTON, July 13-PV-The
house agreed today to estab
lish and maintain a library for
President Roosevelt's papers at
Hyde Park, NT., but cut the ad
mission charge from SO to 25
cents.
Over republican objections that
the president's estate - on the
Hudson river was "inaccessible.
administration forces swept the
bill-through, 221 to 124. It now
goes back to the senate for ac
tion on amendments.
During the bitter house de
bate. Representative Short (R
Mol asserted that the papers be
longed, in Washington, and add
ed: .
V. "Is he afraid to hare his docu
ments in the congressional lib
rary where the constitution and
the Declaration of Independence
are housed? Is he afraid to have
them in the Archives ; building
for tear they might be polluted
by contact with the farewell ad
dress of Washington, the Get
tysburg Address of Lincoln?"
Short said he was opposed to
erecting "memorials to living
men" and added that "only an
egocentric ' megalomaniac would
have the nerve to ask lor tnis
legislation."
The greatest of all men," ne
continued, 'the simple Carpenter
from Nazareth, left no libraries.
but of course he possessed mo
desty and humility. Franklin D
Roosevelt possesses neither."
Assails Admission Charge
Assajling the admission charge,
he said, "aad they're going to
charge the poor forgotten man
two bits to get Into the ground
and two bits to get into the lib
rary. The Roosevelt family Is an
unusual family. It is always so
licitlous of the underprivileged
classes but it is slso always sure
the kids don't marry any."
Representative Coffee CD-
Wash) said he was "ashamed
of Short's criticism of the presi
dent.
"Franklin D. Roosevelt will
go down in history as a great
humanitarian," he said. "All the
vindictive attacks on the presl
dent will not justify opposition
to this bllL"
The house majority leader.
Rayburn (D-Tex), appealed to
the republicans not to make the
library bill a "partisan issue.
Had a similar bill been proposed
by a republican . administration,
he said, the democrats would not
have opposed It.
Rayburn supported an amend'
ment by Representative Tread
way (R-Mass) to eliminate a 25
cent tee for admission to the
library grounds. The amendment
was adopted.
"If we're going to have this
library," Tread way said, "let's
have it with dignity. Let's not
make it a dime museum."
shot to death.
He received a letter from his
mother the day before the slay
ings, and in It she criticized him
for continually asking for money
and for his dissatisfaction with
college life.
. "I guess you will have to shift
for yourself," the mother wrote.
"Ton haven't been of much com
fort to me lately."
Mrs. Burgunder's testimony
completed the defense case, based
entirely upon statements of the
parents and the son. The state
did not cross-examine the mother.

Needy Aged Get f 25
A $25 per "month pension for
the needy aged. (This Is distinct
from the old age Insurance system
under which workers on retire
ment receive a -pension tor which
their wages have been taxed.)
The bill contained a provision,
adopted by the senate at the last
minute, requiring that for each
needy aged person receiving as
sistance, .the states should contrib
ute a minimum of $10.
. To this, the government would
add. $16. Yesterday the senate
wrote into the measure a provi
sion . that the government should
double state contributions up to
$5," and match them evenly above
that figure.
These two changes made by the
senate were expected by. the lead
ers to furnish the principal con
troversy when the time comes for
drafting a compromise between
the senate and house versions of
the legislation.
Twenty-eight states, it develop
ed, are now contributing less than
$10. -
The senate rejected proposals
that old age pensions, be increased
to $40 and $30 monthly and de
clined to recommit the bill, as
urged by Senator Downey (D
Calit), for a study of the Town
send old age pension plan.
