of Deadly
Use i
Virus In Warfare
Held Possibility
mi
By Paul F. Ellis
(United Fnu Bolnc Wrlur)
New Yoik, May 27 (IPi One
quart of the virus that causes par
rot fever would be enough to In
fect seven billion persons, about
three times the total population
ot the earth, an expert in germ
wariare weapons disclosed today.
The scientist, Dr. Theodor Rose
bury, former chief of the air
borne infection project at the U.
S. biological warfare headquar
ters, at Lamp uetricK, Ma., out-
lined his views In a book "Peace
or Pestilence," published today by
wnittiesey House. I
The parrot fever virus, he point
ed out,' is cne of tha psittacosis
group and In case of a biological
war it might well rank as the No.
1 weapon, regardless in whose
hands.
- Carried by Birds ' '
Dr. Rosebury said that a single
ounce of the virus would be
enough to infect every person in
the United States and Canada.
The virus usually is transmitted
to man by birds, particularly the
parrot.
- The disease causes diarrhea
and a wasting away in humans.
Dr; Rosebury said that psitta-
: cosls is a "self -propagating dls
; ease," and that if biological war
fare Induced It to a high concen
tration of initial cases "severe
epidemlcity might result."
While one quart would be
enough to infect seven billion
persons, Dr. Rosebury said that at
the present "there is no conceiv
able way in which any particular
weignt or volume oi any agent
could be spread over more than a
very limited area of the earth."
He said such limits might be
overcome in the ease of BW bio
logical war.

Supreme Court Favorable
To Bridges, in earlier Test
By Lyle C. Wilson
(United Presi SUtf Correpondent)
Washlneton. Mav 27 IIP) The
last time the supreme court had
anvthlne to do with Harry Bridg
es, a majority found him clean of
communism and one of the sym
pathetic Justices set up the notor
ious fellow traveller as a great
martyr to American intolerance.
Bridges is the Australian-born
president of the International
Longshoremen's and Warehouse
men's union (CIO) on the west
coast. The court decision was in
1944 when Bridges was pleading
against deportation ordered after
long inquiry. The court held, in
effect, that Bridges was a desir
able alien and should not be sent
home. He came here in 1920.
Within three months thereafter
Bridges completed the short

course for aliens to become an
American citizen. A federal grand
Jury now has Indicted Bridges and
two union associates in San Fran
cisco on charges of perjury and
conspiracy by which they are al
leged to have concealed his mem
bership in the communist party
when he was naturalized. The in
dictment says Bridges was then a
communist, and still is, although
he swore he was not. Suit alsd has
been filed to revoke his citizen
ship. If that Is the way It goes,
Bridges will go back to Australia,
in time.
This Is the government's third
effort to deport Bridges whose
remarkable support to the com
munist party has left little doubt
where his sympathy lies.
The first move against Bridges
in 193a found him not guilty of
communism at a time when the
atmosphere of government, if not
friendly, 'certainly was far from
antagonistic, to communists and
fellow travellers. r 1
The' house then passed a bill
calling for Bridges' deportation.
It died in the senate. Then con
gress passed a bill which provided
that an alien who was a commun
ist when he entered the United
States or became one should ever
after be subject to deportation.
Bridges beat that rap in the
supreme court in 1944 by the
votes of Justices William O. Doug
las, Stanley F. Reed, Hugo L.
Black, Wiley Rutledge and Frank
Murphy. Justice Robert H. Jack
son did not participate In the de
cision because he had tried to de
port Bridges when he was attor
ney general.
The late Chief Justice Harlan
F. Stone, former Justice Owen J.
Roberts and Justice Felix Frank
furter filed a minority opinion,
holding that Bridges had been
proved in fair hearing to be an
alien communist and must, there
fore, be deported under the laws
of the land.
