GAVE DEPOSITION WHILE ON SPREE Cannalonga Changes State ments Not Sure of Any thing, He Tells Defense San Francisco, June 3. (.IP) Irate attorneys defending labor leader Harry Bridges in de portation proceedings directed a protracted barrage of cross-ex amination today at Morris Can nalonga, will o' the wisp wit ness who lias made signed state ments for both prosecution and c Tense, but who now appears to be on the government side. Yesterday Cannalonga appear ed in a surprise move by the government as a rebuttal wit ness, and repudiated a deposi tion he had given defense at torneys In Portland, Ore., early in May. The deposition retract ed statements previously made to the federal bureau of Investi gation branding Bridges com munist. ' He was drunk when he made the deposition, he said. Celebrated Birthday Richard Gladstein, defense at torney present in Portland when Cannalonga made his pro-defense statements, took the wit ness over and over the ground of that mee'.ing, seeking to win an admission the retraction had been In good faith. But Cannalonga Insisted he was so drunk May 3 and 4 he was "not sure of anything." May 3, Saturday, was his birth day and he began "hitting the bottle" in the morning. The next day he downed two quarts of mm, he said. With much waving of arms he gave such vague and indefi nite answers to Gladstein that Trial Examiner Charles B. Sears occasionally took a hand in the questioning. But all he could get was, "Well, you see, your honor, it's like I told you. Things were very hazy."
