Bridges Twiee
Elected To Red
I (Central Committee
SAN FRANCISCO, </P)—A for
mer Red leader, once imprisoned
' for trying to communize U. S. sol
| diers, says Harry Bridges twice
was elected to the communist par
ty's powerful central committee.
Bridges is on trial in federal
court on a perjury charge—ac
cused of lying when he swore, to
obtain U. S. citizenship in 1945,
that he never had been a com
munist. Australian born, he is
president of the CIO International
Longshoremen’s and Warehouse
men’s Union
The witness who testified that
Bridges was a member of the cen
tral committee was Paul Crouch.
He testified yesterday that Bridges
was elected to the committee in
1936 under the name Rossi; and
that he was elected again in 1938
under the name Dorgan.
Both times. Crouch said, the
communist delegates cheered wild
ly when Bridges’ asserted “nom
de-red” names were placed before

| the convention.
Crouch said he was high in U. S.
| communist circles 17 years until
. he finally withdrew He was a dis
trict organizer in 12 states, editor
of party magazines and newspa
pers; a leader in numerous com
munist front organizations.
And at his height as a Red,
Crouch added, he was sentenced
to 40 years in federal prison for
tryig to communize the U S. army,
but served less than three years,
Crouch is the sixth government
witness to testify that Bridges was
high in communist circles. Pre
vious witnesses also have said the
labor leader used his mother’s
maiden name, Dorgan, and Rossi
for party membership.
Crouch said there was some
criticism of Bridges’ work at the
1936 convention but that William
Scheiderman, identified as a dis- j
trict bureau party leader, “said the
name of Harry Bridges should be
on the list’’ or committee nomi
nees.
Crouch quoted Schneiderman as
arguing that Bridges had made
important contributions to the
party.
Communist party leaders Earl
Browder and Jack Stachel “agreed
and at the end Browder stated
‘well, we’ll put on the list com
rade Bridges’,” the witness con
tinued.
Bridges smiled faintly at
Crouch’s testimony.
The defense lost two legal skir
mishes. Federal Judge George B.
Harris overruled a motion for a
mistrial, and another to strike out
a portion of Manning R. Johnson’s
testimony.
The defense argued that the
court constantly criticized Bridges’
attorneys and made ‘‘thinly veiled
threats against them.”
CHILDREN IN BAR*
HAVE VIDEO PARTY
CHICAGO, (/P)—A dozen chil
dren, each carrying a balloon,
trooped into a west side saloon.
They climbed up on stools and or
dered pop. The afternoon habitues
asked ‘‘What goes?” The bartend
er explained. This lady was giving
a birthday party for her son. She
wanted to treat the guests to a
television show. She didn't have a
set. The tavern did. So she made
arrangements to bring the young
sters over for 20 minutes.
