(V WAGE CONTROVERSY
WASHINGTON. Aug. 30. Aa this U
printed, the Democratic voters of
South Carolina will be marching to
the polls, to choose their state's next
senator. Unless neither candidate gets
a clear majority and a run-off no
comea necessary, one purge primary
will be over and done with this eve
ning. The electorate of South Carolina
will suffer from no embarrassment of
choice. If they wish to distress the
president and his new deal advisers,
. they can plump for old, blowsy, rant
ing Senator Cotton Ed Smith, a rep
resentative of ancient, but unfortun
ate traditions of southland state
.manahlp. If they wish to please the
president, they can pick Governor
Olln Johnston, a natty, up-to-date
rabble-rouser. In fact, It's one of
, those primaries where the choosy
voter might as well stay at home,
Some time your correspon
dents visited the scene of carnage,
and found the goings on more enter
taining than Instructive. Subsequent
reports from the field convince them"
that, although the president has
directly Injected himself into the
situation, the level of controversy has
not risen much.
Before the president's intervention.
Cotton Ed was sticking close to the
three Issues which have kept him
In office for thirty years white
supremacy, the price of cotton, and
southern womanhood. Governor John
ston was denouncing Cotton Ed for
remarking. In a speech against the
wage-hours bill, that 50 cents a day
was quite enough to live on In so
gloriously beautiful a state as South
Carolina.
Although you might suppose that
In three decades the people would
have got a little tired of white
supremacy, the cotton price, and
even southern womanhood, Cotton
Ed was an odds-on bet to win. The
local party organization was split
wide open by a row between Governor
Johnston and Highway Commissioner
Ben Sawyer. The federal machine,

Un-Americanism Committee
Head Calls for Resump
tion Deportation Proceed
ings Against CIO Leader
WASHINGTON, Aug. 30. (AP)
Chairman Dies (D.-Texas) of the
house committee investigating un-
Americanism demanded today Secre
tary Perkins resume deportation pro
ceedings at once against Harry
Bridges, CIO maritime leader on the
west coast.
Your file discloses a number of
depositions of witnesses who testified
Harry Bridges was a member of the
Communist party." Dies wrote Miss
Perkins after studying labor depart
ment records.
Your file also discloses ample evi
dence the Communist party of the
United States of America advocates
and teaches the overthrow of th?
United States government by force
and violence."
Delay Not Justified
Declaring he would find no Justifi
cation for postponing the case, Dl?s
said delay might place witnesses oit
of reach. If this had not already
happened.
Proceedings against Bridges were
suspended April 20 by the labor de
partment pending a supreme court
ruling In a case Involving Joseph G.
Strecker of Hot Springs, Ark. Immi
gration Commissioner James L
Houghtellng had said that decision
might prevent Bridges' deportation.
The New Orleans circuit court had
stopped deportation of Strecker on
the ground the law does not forbid
aliens to belong to "the Communist
party or any other party except one
which teaches overthrow by force and
violence of the government of the
United States."
'I can not see how the Strecker
case would have any bearing upon
the Harry Bridges case since the facts
are dissimilar," Dies declared.
Records Quoted
The committee chairman, who said
majority of, the members had
authorized him to write Miss Per
kins, quoted extensively from labor
department records about Bridges
Names of witnesses were not dis
closed at the department's request.
Dies said R. P. Bonham, Immigra
tion director at Seattle, had pro
tested against suspension of the case,
but was reprimanded by Houghtellng
on the ground he had Imperfect
knowledge of the situation,
A letter from Bonham to Houghtol
ing lost May 11 was quoted by Dies
as follows:
"The witnesses we had assembled
for the Bridges hearing had among
them some formet functionaries of
the (Communist) party who x x x
would have testified to the Com
munist party being the Aim .-lean
section of the Comintern (Communist
International) and to the definite
commitment to force and violence
in bringing about the overthrow of
our government."
Files Open To Red
Dies said Bonham wrote Edward J.
Shaughneasy, deputy Immigration
commissioner, last September 23:
"I believe It proper I acquaint the
central office with the fact I Inter
viewed Mr. Bridges some time igo
x x x He boasted he had seen the
centra) office file relating to himself
and also 'they had an excellent 'in
telligence' organization of their own
that kept them well Informed."
Bonham urged Bhaughnessy to
guard names of witnesses to appear
against Bridges In order to prevent
any "leak." He expressed the belief
In other correspondence there wai
an "airtight" case against Bridges.

TOLLFSON SHOT AT

the Intended target of a mystery
shot, fired last Sunday night state
and city police revealed today. A
bullet hole In a "window pane, near
where Tollefaon waa standing, la the
only clue.
Tollefson, according to the report,
was engaged In clo.lng up for the
night, and while placing a battery
testing case alongside a wall, heard
the tinkling of glass. He thought
the glass bulb of a hydrometer had
exploded. Then he noted the bullet
hole In the window glass.
A test showed If Tollefson had
been erect when the shot was fired
It- would have struck him In the
hud. Tollefson waa allghtly stooped
when the bullet aped by him.
The police were called but no
clues uncovered. None of the nearby
residents, or Tollefaon heard any
shot.
The theory has been advanced that
the shot waa fired by a person hid
ing behind a nearby lllao bush, and
who roraped by a leap over a fence.
Tollefron says he has no known
enemy, and can ascribe no motive.
