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

was working In the Long Beach
plant where we have no union
contract," the attorney explain
ed. "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, . Aug. 23 (U.R) The

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.

Housewives were assured today
that "fair" supplies of washing

The office of defense trans

strictions on retail delivery serv
ice would end Nov. 1, thus per
mitting department stores,
dairies, laundries and others to'
deliver their products as often
as they please. Limits on the size j
of packages that can be deliver-1
ed also will end.
ODT Director J. Monroe John
son warned, however, that the
relaxations do not necessarily
mean an immediate return to full
prewar service. Shortages of
equipment, tires and manpower
will force some voluntary re
strictions on deliveries.
