Welsh took un der submission a petition for a writ of habeas corpus to prevent Bridges' deportation to Austra lia as an undesirable alien. Bridges' three attorneys ar gued two days that previous de portation hearings were unfair. They contended U. S. Attorney General Francis Biddle ignored an earlier immigration board of appeals ruling in Bridges' favor when he ordered the alien labor leader deported in June. Bridges was not present in court. Biddle in his order said it had been proved Bridges had been affiliated with the Communist party which Biddle declared ad vocated overthrow of the U. S. government by force and vio lence.

The foreign office announced that its minister at Washington has been instructed to ask the state department to ban exhibi tion of the movie, or at least to order changes in it. The picture has not been ex hibited here and is not likely to be. CO ORDINATOR CONFERS Panama City, Sept. 26.
