Bridges’ Attorney
Tries To Prove
Witness A Liar
SAN FRANCISCO, (/P) — The
! veracity of another government
witness in the Harry Bridges per
jury case was under fire of de
fense attorneys yesterday.
The witness, Lew Michener, 41,
a Long Beach official of a united
auto workers local, has had, testi
mony disclosed, a varied career—
from Montana bootlegger to com
munist party membership to mem
bership of the Tenth Regian war
labor board.
No longer a member of the
party, he testified he and Bridges
attended two communist meetings.
Defense counsel James M. Mac
Innis pounced on Michener’s ad
mission that he probably filled out
some sort of government docu
ment when appointed to the war i
labor board and asked:
“In the questionnaire you had to
fill out you were asked, ‘Are you
a member of the communist party
or affiliated with a communist or
ganization,” weren’t you?”
“I doubt it and I’ll buy you a
new hat if you can show me I ;
signed such a statement under
such circumstances,” replied
Michener.
Maclnnis immediately demand
ed a search be made of govern
ment records.

Coal Pile Critical
In States’ Cities
WASHINGTON, (/P)—The U. S.
Chamber of Commerce today re
ported a “critical” coal shortage in
36 cities, hard on the heels of
President Truman’s new denial
that the three-day mine week has
created a coal emergency.
The Chamber statement appar
ently was prepared before Mr.
Truman’s indication to his news
conference yesterday that he has
no immediate plans to force full
production in the coal fields by
using his Taft-Hartley act emer
gency injunction powers against
John L. Lewis’ United Mine Work
ers.
The Chamber reported that it
had surveyed areas in 10 ‘princi
pal bituminous coal using states,”
with this result:
“With an average of less than
seven days’ supply in dealers'
hands in 36 average sized towns
surveyed, telegraphed adv ices
from Chambers of Commerce in
these cities reveal that wide
spread suffering and hardship has
been averted so far primarily be
cause of the unseasonably mild
weather.”
The statement said that in some
places such hardship is "only a
matter of hours away.”
In Chicago, the American Retail
Coal Association said Mr. Tru
man’s statement came with sur
prise to those citizens who are
now burning wood because coal is
unavailable.”
