Human labor la not n commod

that one was pur politics and

Nobody denies that labor is
not a commodity. Except the
worker himself, no man owns It,
no man can buy and sell it or
send it to work where it does
not want to go. But price infla

itself. It can't be stopped with
out direct controls.
A PRINCIPAL element in price
Inflation Is labor prices. You
can't control price inflation
without controlling those prices
also, and to say that you can't
control the latter because labor
is not a commodity doesn't
make sense. Commodity or no

no more be ignored than you can

Survivors of Pink Star Tell
Of Second Officer's Heroism
By Draw MlddUton
Reyjavlk, Iceland. Sept. 24.
(Delayed) (JP) Th wooden
legged master of th torpedoed
freighter Pink Star told today
a story of self-effacing heroism
by the Canadian second officer,
J. L. (Jim) Cassldy, who gave
up his life so as not to over
crowd a lifeboat.
"Cassidy swam up to our only
lifeboat. He saw that it was full,
waved goodbye and swam away.
We never saw him again," said
Captain J. C. MacKenzie.
He looked around at th grim
fires of some of his 23 fellow
survivors' of th crew of 36. No
one said a word. You could hear
the wind beating against the
side of the Icelandic hut where
this tense interview was (rant

his tribute was for Cassidy.
"It was the finest thing I ever
saw," he said.
Of himself, MacKenzie said
"with two life belts to keep me
up and a bit of wood from a
lard box to paddle with," he had
managed to keep moving for
three hours. Two hours before
he was picked up, however, he
had lost the use of his good leg
and the stump of the other from
the numbing cold of the water.
He chuckled when he said
that the chill had no effect on
his artificial leg.
"I wasn't feeling a thing in
it." MacKenzie said.
Of the tense moments before
the Pink Star went down, Mac

LONGSHORE CHIEF
HELD AFFILIATED
Judge Sears Lists Three
Major Items In Decision
On Long-Drawn Hearing.
San Francisco, Sept. 29. (IP)
Deportation of Harry Bridges
to Australia was recommended
today by Charles B. Sears, spe
cial inspector for the depart
ment of justice who presided at
the longshore leader's 11 weeks
hearing In San Francisco this
spring.
In his findings announced by
the immigration departmtnt
here today, Judge Sears held
that Bridges was a member of
and affiliated with the Com
munist party and was also affil
iated with the Marine Workers
Industrial union.
Sears denied Bridges petition
to reopen the hearing on the
grounds that the department of
justice had tapped telephone
wires to obtain information to
present against him.
Albert Del Guercio, supervis
or of the immigration depart
ment's special inspection divi
sion, said Bridges would be
given 30 days in which to file
an exception. It was Del Guer
cio who directed prosecution in
Bridges second hearing.
Communism Defined
Sears found that the Commu
nist party of the United States
"believes In, advises, advocates
and teaches the overthrow by
force and violence In this gov
ernment. In regard to charges that
Bridges was formerly a mem
ber of the Industrial Workers
of the World Sears held that
there was no evidence that the
I. W. W. was of the type of
organization that was alleged
in the complaint.
Sears listed these as the three
major items in his decision on
Bridges connection with the
Communist party and th M.
W. I. U. -
1. Harry Lundeberg, head of
the Sailors Union of the Pacific,
who at the trial testified he was
urged to join the Communist
party while in a Bridges home;
2. James O'Neil, former pub
licity man in Bridges office,
who on the stand repudiated
the statement in which the FBI
quoted him as saying he saw
Bridges pasting dues stamps in
a Communist party book, and
3. The Inconsistence of Bridges
himself in detailing his connec
tion with the publication, "Wa
terfront Worker."
No Tapping Evidence
The denial of the motion to
reopen the case was based on
Sears' decision that there was
no evidence of wire-tapping In
regard to the deportation hear
ing Itself. He said there might
have been subsequent wire tap
ping.
Richard Gladstein, Bridges'
attorney, Issued this statement
in New York:
"We are deeply shocked at
the decision which will be re
ceived by thousands of union
men and women with resent
ment and indignation. Natural
ly we shall exhaust every legal
channel of appeal to remedy
the grav wrong that has been
done."

Italian mainland cities, four In

Rhodes. In addition, two persons
were killed in blackout.
London dispatches said the
RAF left great fires raging in
Genoa and at other points in
northern Italy.

despite earlier expectations that
the fascist capital might be
bombed in reprisal for an axis
attack on Cairo, Holy city of
th Moslem world but show
ered hlgh-explosiv bombs and
incendiaries on Genoa, Spezzia,
Turin and Savona Marina on the
Italian mainland. Some of the
casualties were at a fifth main
