Indications are that a large
number of valley people will
gather in Jacksonville this eve
ning to hear Gov. Earl Snell
speak. The governor is sched
uled to talk from the steps of
the old courthouse at 8 p. m.,
following a dinner sponsored by
the Sons and Daughters of the
American Revolution.
The dinner and talk, com
memorating Bunker Hill Day,
were planned by the S.A.R., as
first step in a campaign to have
the old courthouse in historic
Jacksonville set aside as a coun
ty museum. Leaders of the or
ganization believe that the town
and the building make an ideal
spot in which historic objects
could be p r e s er v er and dis
played. With the opening of. the road
from Annie Springs to the head
quarters of Crater Lake National
park Sunday, preparations are
now being made by Superintend
ent E. P. Leavitt and staff mem
bers to move to headquarters
next Monday for the summer.
Leavitt stated today that sev
eral cars made the trip up to
headquarters Sunday and a num
ber of persons hiked one and
one-half miles over the snow to
the lake rim. The superintend
ent warned that those planning
the hike should wear suitable
footwear.
Workmen will continue with
the task of clearing snow away
from the headquarters' buildings
and will then plow the' road to
the rim, the superintendent
stated, but it is not known when
the work will be completed
Snow is still eight to ten feet
deep in some places, but on ex-
nosed sections of the road may
have melted to two or three feet,

Majority Court Opinion.
San Francisco, June 18 (U.R)
Jubilant over cancellation
of his deportation, Harry
Bridges, west coast labor leader,
today said he would apply for
American citizenship immedi
ately. But he predicted that "the
same forces which were back of
his deportation proceedings
would again try to delay his
efforts to become a citizen.
Washington, June 18. (U.R)
The supreme court today can
celled an order calling for the
deportation of Harry Bridges,
west coast labor leader, to Aus
tralia as a communist. The de
cision was 5 to 3.
The ruling brought to a close
the long series of hearings over
deportation proceedings started
against Bridges in 1938.
Bridges, who has remained an
alien since coming to this coun
try In 1920, turned to the fed
eral courts after Attorney Gen
eral Francis Biddle on May 28.
1942, ordered that he be sent
back to his native land.
Claimed Communist
Biddle held that Bridges, head
of the powerful longshoremen's
and warehousemen's union (CIO)
was an undesirable alien as a
member of the communist party
which taught overthrow of the
U. S. government by "force and
violence."
The supreme court reviewed
the entire proceedings upon
Bridges' bid for freedom through
a writ of habeas corpus. Bridges
appealed after Federal Judge
Martin I. Welsh in California
refused to- iesue the habeas cor
pus writ and his 'refusal Was up
held by the ninth circuit court
of appeals.
Membership Denied
Before the high court, counsel
for Bridges denied he had ever
been a member of the commun
ist party or its affiliate, the
Marine Workers Industrial
union. The deportation order,
they charged, was contrary to
the bills of rights of the federal
constitution which guarantees to
aliens and citizens alike the
rights of free speech, thought
and assembly.
The government claimed con
gress had provided for the
classification of aliens and that
this function was not up to the
courts. It contended the evidence
was "overwhelming" in support
of Biddle's findings against
Bridges.
Justice William O. Douglas de
livered the majority opinion for
himself and Justices Stanley
Reed, Wiley B. Rutledge. Hugo
L. Black and Frank Murphy.
"The associations which Harry
Bridges had with various com
munist groups seem to indicate
no more than cooperative mea
sures to attain objectives which
were wholly legitimate," Doug
las said. "The link by which it if
sought to tie him to subversive
activities is an exceedingly tenu
ous one, if it may be said to exist
at all."
