Bridges Trial
San Francisco, Dec. 15 W)
Angry arguments and name-
calling broke out In the Harry
Bridges perjury trial in the nor
mally sedate federal court again
Wednesday. Above the rumpus
was heard the implied threat of
another contempt ot court cila
tlon.
It occurred when Defense At
torney James Maclnnis asked
8 government witness if the man
ever had been convicted of a
felony.
The witness was Manning R.
Johnson, a Negro and professed
ex-communist. He answered
"No," as F. Joseph Donohue of
the government's legal staff
leaped to his feet with an objec
tion. He assumed, he said, that Mac
lnnis would produce a certified
copy of a conviction ot felony,
Maclnnis retorted '-'You may
be sure of that."
Johnson had testified that he
had seen Bridges at meetings of
top communist officials. Bridges,
head of the CIO Longshore un
ion, is on trial for perjury, charg
ed with swearing falsely at his
1945 naturalization hearing that
he wasn't and hadn't been a
communist.
Later, after more questioning,
Mclnnis admitted that he didn't
have a certified copy of con
viction, but "I have here a tele
gram from the chief of police
(at Alliance, Neb.) who promis
ed that a certified copy was on
its way."
Judge George B. Harris shook
his head ominously at Maclnnis
"I want, in fairness to you, coun
sel," he told him, "to say I be
lieved you had a certified copy
in your possession. I think it was
a fair inference from what you
said." .
Tuesday the trial was rock
ed with laughter as Beezlcbub,
the evil one of the Bible, was in
jected into the trial by Johnson

4 Escape Injury
As Ship Sinks
Brunswick, Ga., Dec. 15 (U.R)
Four persons escaped without
injury and then drifted 15 hours
on a life raft after their shrimp
trawler burned and sank in the
Atlantic south of here, the coast
guard reported today.
The survivors were identified
as Henry Morison, captain and
owner of the 50-foot trawler Ma
ria; his wife, and two crewmen,
Buster Symons and Dan Brown,
all of Charleston, S.C.
The Maria caught fire and
burned to the waterline about
10 miles off nearby Cumberland
island Monday afternoon, the
coast guard said. The four per
sons aboard barely had time to
float a life raft and salvage
boards to use as paddles.
Morison said they drifted all
night. Early Tuesday morning
they sighted Cumberland island
and paddled ashore about 4 a.m.
They made their way to a
telephone and called an inter
island air taxi service, which
picked them up and flew them to
nearby St. Simor island. From
there they were Uown to their
homes in Charleston.
Milligan said. Materials will be
provided at cost by local air
services. A twin-engine Cessna
is now under option.
Bobby, 11, Will Get His Wish
For Christmas for Dead Mother
Montoursvllle, Pa., Dec. 15 W) Eleven-year-old Bobby Lovell,
is going to get his Christmas wish a tombstone for his mother's
grave.
Bobby's mother died in October, 1948, and was buried in
the Montoursviile cemetery.
Several days ago, the young
ster who lives in a trailer camp
with his father, an unemployed
laborer on relief decided to
find his mother's unmarked
grave.
His' search proved successful
Tuesday after he had enlisted
the aid of Police Chief Stanley
C. Zartman.
"Some day I'll have enough
money to buy a marker for my
mother's grave," Bobby told
Zartman.
The police chief related the
story to a newspaper and the
J. E. Gibbons company offered
to donate a tombstone, engrave
it and have it in place by Christ
mas. Bobby examined the firm's
stock, passed by a number of
ornate stones and selected a
two-by-three foot marker.
"I would like very much to
have that one," he said. "Now
I can find mother's grave and
put flowers on it."
Meanwhile, local merchants
promised Bobby's Christmas
would not be without gifts, in
cluding a permanent movie pass.
And Zartman said he was mak
ing arrangements to find Bobby
a new home "under different
environment."
Formosa Last
Hope of Chinese
Taipeh, Formosa, Dec. 15 U.R)
The battered Chinese nation
alist regime today shook up its
military and political arms in
the hope of getting American
aid for a "live or die" stand in
Formosa.
As Chinese communists rush
ed preparations for an amphi
bious assault on Formosa from
the Chinese mainland, nation
alist military and political dead-
wood went into the discard.
Imaginary army group com
manders have been dropped
from the payroll.
Personnel of various branch
es of the central government
have been whittled down and a
blueprint has been drafted to
strip quasi-political and mili
tary figures of their authority.
When the purge is completed,
provincial authorities will be in
complete control of Formosa it
self with the central govern
ment's functions limited strict
ly to national and international
affairs.
NLRB to Press
Enforcement
Washington, Dec. 15 (U.R) The
national labor relations board
said today it will seek federal
court enforcement of its order to
the International Typographical
Union (AFL) to stop violating
the Taft-Hartley act's ban on the
closed shop.
The board said its enforce
ment division will prepare the
case to take it to the U.S. circuit
court of appeals. In such cases,
the board asks the court to adopt
the board order as its own.
The board's action followed a
request for enforcement filed
December 1 by Elisha Hanson,
general counsel of the American
Newspaper Publishers' associa
tion, which brought the charges
against the ITU.
The board made public today
a letter to Hanson, dated De
cember 8, saying it has "deter
mined to proceed with enforce
ment" and has started to take
steps.
Mrs. Piatt Faces
Forgery Charge
Bremerton, Dec. 15 (U.R)
Prosecutor James Munro today
revealed he has dismissed grand
larceny charges against two men
a pert young housewife admit
ted hiring to kill her husband
because of his "15 years of
nightly love-making."
Mrs. Margaret Susan Piatt,
31, Bremerton, told Munro she
had hired Hollis D. Scott, 23,
and Wallace Mottern, 22, also
of Bremerton, to "get rid" of
her husband, Wilford, 34.
"I have dismissed charges of
grand larceny by embezzlement
against Scott and Mottern on
the statutory ground of lack of
witnesses," Munro said. He said
he made the motion in Judge H.
G. Sutton's court in Port Orch
ard, Wash., yesterday.
Mrs. Piatt originally charged
the two men had "welched" on
the deal after she had given
them more than $1,500.
A charge of attempted mur
der against the tiny, blue-eyed
housewife was changed to one
of forgery after she had spent
two weeks in jail awaiting ar
raignment. Since then she has
been free on $1,000 bail.
The new charge is based on
the allegation she forged title
to her husband's car and sold it
to pay Mottern and Scott. Munro
has served written notice in
Kitsap superior court that he
will appeal the action of Judge
Sutton in dismissing the at
tempted murder charge.
Meanwhile, Mrs. Piatt, who
charged her husband "wanted to
make love every night for 15

Recent shortage of cane sugar helps kill
old prejudice against beet sugar
Recently there was a shortage of cane sugar on the West Coast.
Millions of housewives bought beet sugar for the first time.
Many had their doubts. Was beet sugar as good as cane? Was
it as pure, as sweet, as white? Could it be trusted in baking and
jelly-making?
Well, as far as we can find out, the cakes and jellies were mighty
tasty. These Western housewives were thoroughly satisfied. They
proved to themselves that the old-time prejudice against beet
sugar is just an old wives' tale.
These new users of beet sugar now know what food experts
have known for a generation that there is absolutely no differ
ence between beet sugar and cane sugar. They are identical in
sweetness, purity, whiteness, and fineness.
Here's what the U. S. Department of Agriculture says:
"Beet and cane sugar in refined, granulated form give equally good
remits in jelly-making, canning, or cooking. The two sugars are
chemically the same." -o.s.D.A.SwnN,.im-u
