Turkey reaffirmed Thursday
her mutual assistance pledges

Egypt put all her air and naval
bases and ports at Britain's dis

The action i of the Turkish gov-
ffernanent did not mean an immedi
ate entrance into the war; the
plan was to await developments
in the eastern Mediterranean, not
taking an active part if that area
unexpectedly remains quiet.

of Act Affirmed
WASHINGTON, June 13-P)-The
house approved 329 to 42,
today a bill directing the attorney
general to deport Harry Bridges,
CIO west coast maritime leader,
to Australia, immediately. The
measure now goes to the- senate.
As originally Introduced by
Representative Allen, the bill was
aimed at possible deportation of
Bridges as an undesirable alien,
but provided for a hearing and
trial. . , !...
At the last -minute, however.
Representative Van Zandt (R
Pa) secured a revision providing
for mandatory deportation of the
Australian born . labor, leader
"whose presence In this country
congress deems . hurtfaL" The
phrase was taken front: a supreme
court 1 decision dealing with the
powers of congress to: enact leg
islation for the deportation of
aliens. "....V-W. i"
When Van Zandt .proposed the
revision. Rep. Mlchener (R-Mich)
arose to inquire what would hap
pen if Australia refused to' ac
cept Bridges. Van Zandt replied:
"That would be a problem for
the justice department," ' but a
moment later he added that the
United States had not encounter
ed difficulty In inducing Great
Britain, or any of its dominions
to accept deported aliens.
Rep. O'Connor .(D-Mont) said
mat unaer - the procedure pro
posed, you could. keep (Bridges)

' To i Which Rep. ' Johnson (D
Okla) retorted from his seat:

Rep. Leland Ford (R-Calif)
tola tne nouse tnat srtdges was
a "fifth columnist," 'a ,law
breaker," and was guilty of
"moral turpitude." .
A little earlier. Rep. Marcan
tonlo (AL-NY) read to the house
a letter Bridges had sent sever
al members denying charges that
his citizenship application papers
were irregular.
Votes for the bill Included
that of Angell (R-Ore) and the
"no" votes included that of
Pierce (DtOre). Mott (R-Ore)
was not listed as voting or
