Inferior Bureau
Endorses CVA
Washington, May 31 U.R The
Interior department endorsed
the proposed Columbia valley
administration today, but the
bureau of reclamation stayed
neutral.
Reclam a 1 1 o n Commissioner
Michael Straus said he was not
even consulted about the en
dorsement. The bureau is part
of the interior department.
Straus said his views on CVA
were not solicited by other in
terior department officials. He
told the senate public works
committee about the reclamation-army
engineer plan to de
velop the Columbia river basin
in response to Chairman Dennis
Chavez' request that he outline
the bureau's basin work.
"Our comprehensive plan has
no bearing on nor does it fore
close any action by congress on
the CVA," Straus said. "I want
this committee to know that
there is no opposition by the
commissioner of reclamation to
the president's CVA plan or to
the department's recommenda
tion of it."
The department's letter rec
ommending prompt enactment
of CVA legislation was signed
by Acting Secretary Oscar Chap
man. He said a CVA would fix
in a single agency responsibility
for development of the 259.000
square miles of the Columbia
basin. It would spur local ad
ministration of resources, Chap
man said.
Thomas is the senate sponsor
of the administration labor bill,
which now includes no seizure
authority.
The bill might come up for
senate debate this week. It would
repeal the Taft-Hartley law
a campaign pledge President
Truman made and re-enact
the old Wagner act with a few
changes.
The Utah senator told a re
porter today that a seizure pro-
Vision "might be part of the
procedure for getting rid of the
injunction" authorized by the
T-H law and opposed vigor
ously by union leaders.
Labor Bill fo
Get Priority
Washington, May 31 U
Senate democratic leaders de
cided today to give the adminis
tration labor bill priority over,
the North Atlantic treaty. They
reported that President Tru
man had "no objection" to their
timetable.
Their decision in effect reject
ed the appeal of Secretary of
State Dean Acheson and other
state department officials to
give the pact priority.
After a meeting of the senate
Majority Leader Scott W. Lu
cas announced that the labor bill
would be the next major piece
of legislation before the senate.
He said he believed debate
would start late this week.
The Illinois, democrat sail
bills to ratify the international
wheat agreement an dto sus
pend supreme court decisions on
fasing point pricing systems
would be considered first. If
either should threaten prolong
ed debate, he said, it would be
laid aside for the labor bill.

Darcy Called
In Bridges Case
San Francisco, May 31 VPi
Sam Darcy, who ran for gover
nor in 1934 as the communist
party candidate, is here to testi
fy before the federal grand Jury.
The Jury's probe of "the Har
ry Bridges case" will be resumed
tomorrow.
Bridges, head of the CIO Long
shoremen's and Warehousemen's
union, was indicted last week,
accused of perjury and conspira
cy in obtaining his naturalization
papers in 194S, He was born in
Australia.
There was speculation that the
new hearing would go beyond
the Bridges issue; that it would
open up the wider field of re
puted communist activities In
Pacific coast labor unions.
Darcy will be one of about IS
new witnesses.
Indicted with Bridges were
two longshore officials, Henry
Schmidt and J. F. Robertson.
They -were accused only of conspiracy.
Darcy, described years ago as
America's No. 2 communist, was
expelled from the party several
years ago on charges of "demo
cratic centralism." He refused
today to discuss what informa
tion he might supply the grand
Jury. But he confirmed he would
be a witness.
In Bridges' 1941 deportation
hearing, Harry Lundcbcrg, AFL
Sailors' union chief, testified
that Bridges and Darcy had once
tried to recruit him as a commu
nist party member.

Former Clerk of
Ickes Implicated
Washington, May 31 (UB The
name of a former secretary to
one-time Secretary of Intcrioi
Harold L. Ickes was brought in
to the Judith Coplon spy trial
today.
The prosecution introduced
an FBI report which stated that
Ruth Gruber, former secretary
to Ickes, was reported to have
been a contact of F. A. Garanin
of the Soviet embassy.
This information was con
tained in one of the 22 FBI "data
slips" which the government
claims were found in Miss Cop
Ion's purse when she was ar
rested March 4 in New York
with Valentin A. Gubitchev,
former Soviet employe of the
United Nations.
Government records showed
Mirs Gruber was a confidential
aide to Ickes in the interior de
partment at a salary of $6,000
a year. She left the government
service on February 14, 1946.
one day before Ickes quit in a
row with President Truman
Ickes, who lives in retirement
near here, was reported away
for the day. Miss Gruber s
present whereabouts could not
be learned immediately.
The data slip also apparently
concerned an FBI investigation
of one Ursula Wasserman not
Miss Coplon. It read:
"In March, 1946, subject (ap
parently Wasserman) had in her
address book the name of Ruth
Gruber.
"Gruber has been reported to
have been a contact of F. A.
Garanin of the Soviet embassy.
Washington. Gruber was sec
retary to Harold Ickes, secretary
of interior."
The government alleged that
Miss Coplon stole the secret
data slips when she was work
