MARRIED LIFE OF 'BRIDGES VIOLENT, . HE TELLS COURT San Francisco, Aug. 23 (U.R) Harry Bridges' married life was more violent than any of the waterfront strikes he ever led, the west coast labor leader testi fied at his divorce trial today. His wife, Mrs. Agnes Bridges, has accused Bridges of being the father of a child born May 26, 1943, to Nancy Feinstein, New York nightclub dancer. "My wife got drunk on the average of once a week since 1925," Bridges told the court. "She became profane and vio tk lent. She smashed furniture and 7 glass doors and attacked me. She ran into streets without any clothes on." Once Mrs. Bridges bit tow po licemen who had been called by the neighbors, the CIO longshore leader charged. Butcherknives, flatirons and chinaware served as alternate weapons for Mrs. Bridges' at tacks, he said. She was so jealous when he danced with other women at CIO union social affairs that'he final ly quit taking her to such gather ings, Bridges testified. "After all," the president of the International Longshoremens and warehousemens Union said. "the president of union has to dance with union members." Finally he requested a union committee to see that Mrs. Bridges didn't make a scene on the dance floor, he testified. OF OLD J08 RETURN Los Angeles, Aug. 23 (U.R) The Western Mechanics Union 700, CIO, today charged the Har vey Machine Co. with "red her ring tactics," in accusing the union of opposing the return to work of War Veteran Frank Btolo. "The union is not opposing him as a veteran and the Harvey Co. knows it," Attorney Leo Gallagher said. "It was the union that forced through provisions for returning veterans over op position by the company." Both the California Veterans of Foreign Wars and the com pany have announced they will go to court to stop the union from preventing Stolo's return to the company. "We are of the opinion that Stolo does not have seniority in the Los Angeles plant of the Har vey Co." Gallagher said. "When he left to go into the service he Lawrence's JEWELRY and GIFT SHOP 35 Yean in Medlord. Special!! ing in Fine Diamonds only.

"If he has seniority it Is there and not here." "When Stolo returned, he wasn't even placed back on the same kind of work formerly he operated a punch press, but he doesn't do that now," Gallagher said. "But that isn't the real Issue here. Stolo was very active in anti-union activity until the union contract was secured in the Los Angeles plant. Then he was transferred to Long Beach. "By attempting to put Stolo back into the Los Angeles plant, the Harvey Co. is simply trying to disturb the union," Gallagher accused. DICTATOR'S LIFE SPARED BY COPS IN STREET FIGHT Schierstein, Germany, Aug. 23 lU.R) The one man who might have averted World War II by shooting Adolf Hitler ad mitted ruefully today that he passed up his chance because the Austrian paperhanger was unarmed. The man who spared Hitler's life in the streets of Munich 22 years ago is Baron Michel Von Godin, who has just returned from exile to become chief of the rural police in upper Ba varia. Godin said he stood about 15 yards in front of his police platoon when Hitler and his storm troopers approached. He yelled to them to halt. "Suddenly, one of the Nazis fired." Godin said. "My men opened up. Four of my police were killed and three were wounded. Fourteen Nazis were killed and 60 were wounded. Among the wounded was Her mann Goering." Hitler fell flat on his face at the first volley. He wasn't hit, but he threw himself down so heavily that he broke his shoulder. The Nazis broke and fled, tak ing Hitler with them. No one had tried to shoot him as he lay in the street. Detroit, .

That Your Loved One Will Be Home Before Christmas PLACE YOUR ORDER NOW, for Flahrer's Old English Fruit Cah Wrapped and Ready for Mailing Oversea by September 15th $1.10 and $2.00 .Cl It Washington, Aug. 23 (U.R) Out of the hundreds of veterans' laws passed by congress and the scores now in the mill there emerged today a few things that the average soldier can depend on. Thoy boil down to this; 1. Mustering - out pay, from $100 to $300. 2. Disability compensation. If he needs it, ranging normally up to SI 15 per month for total disability, and hospitalization. 3. Education, at least a year, and more if his schooling was interrupted. M. Compensation, if unemploy ed, of up to S20 a week for as many as 52 weeks. (Up to $100 a month for the self-employed.) 5. Limited help on a loan for a home, a farm or a business. The government puts up no money, but guarantees half the loan up to $2,000. The tiling most soldiers want most a job is one thing no body has guaranteed. Under the selective service act the veteran gets a look-in on his old job: he gets it back if he still wants it, if it's still there, and if busi ness changes haven't made his re-employment impossible.
