“Then maybe we will celebrate
a bit,” Grable added.
Grable said “no one turned
evangelist” during the long, wet
wait, “but .we all thought a lot
and prayed we would be picked
up.”
The pilot said after the plane’s
radio navigation equipment failed
Wednesday morning, we hunted
for the island (Bermuda) under
every cloud we saw, but had no
luck. It was pretty overcast.”
With their fuel almost out, “we
jettisoned everything we could
and prepared for ditching.”
When the big bomber hit the
water, the tail broke off, taking
one of the three life rafts aboard

Unions lialk At

Perjury Trial

Robertson, are being tried with
him on conspiracy charges.
Government attorneys said they
expected to present their first ma
jor witness today. When the trial
recessed Friday Lloyd H. Garner,
immigration and naturalization
examiner who represented the
government at Bridges’ naturali
zation hearing, was on the stand.
In his opening statement, assist
ane U. S. attorney Robert McMil
lan said the government would
prove that Bridges was an active,
dues-paying member of the com
munist party of the United States
for years before his naturalization.
Garner testified that Bridges,
Schmidt and Robertson all testi
fied that Bridges was not and had
not been a communist.
On cross examination, the de
fense brought out that charges of
communist membership had been
made against Bridges as early as
1939 and presumably investigated
by the government before the
hearing.
Deportation hearings were held
in 1939 and 1941. However, feder
al judge George B. Harris, hearing
the present trial, has instructed
the jury to disregard those hear
ings.

iLauder Still Jokes
Despite Illness
STRATHAVEN. Scotland, {JP)—
Sir Harry Lauder is still cracking
jokes during what may be his last
illness.
The old-time Scottish comedian
has been dangerously ill for three
months. He has thrombosis 'blood
clot) in his right leg and a severe
kidney ailment. He is 79, and for
many weeks friends have feared
for his life.
But the old man hangs on. The
doctors let him smoke his pipe
now and again. And he still gets a
bang out of cracking wise with his
close friend and physician, Dr.
John Stewart.
