! U. S. And Canada ;
Are Dovetailing
War Industries
i
WASHINGTON. pP)—The U. S.
and Canada are taking steps to
dovetail their war industry plans,
just as they have their overall
military strategy.
M anpo wer, production, re
sources and other problems which i
each would have to face in event
of another conflict are to be tack
led cooperatively under arrange
ments made Wednesday by a new
joint industrial mobilization com
mittee.
Officials predicted the arrange
ment will largely restore the in
dustrial partnership which exist
ed in the final stages of World
War II. Since 1940 the two nations
have had a permanent joint board
on defense to carry out strictly
military planning.
The new' four-member indus
trial group agreed at its first
meeting to set up sub-committees
which w'ill exchange information
on subjects which traditionally
| are closely guarded national se
jcrefs.

In Bridges’ Trial
(Continued from Page One)
Francisco, an ILWU member.
Slaby was ordered by federal
judge Michael J. Roche to re-ap
pear yesterday and testify.
A key government witness Wed
nesday was Mervyn Rathbone, a
former associate of Bridges.
Bridges’ attorneys visited Rath
bone last week after Bridges’ in
dictment. Attorney general Tom
Clark has ordered a probe to de
termine if there has been tamper
ing with government witnesses.
Union headquarters last night
announced the vote re-electing
Bridges as president was 30,406
to 7,070 for Tommy George of
Portland. The two were nominated
last April, and voting had been
going on since.
SAN FRANCISCO, (/P)—A fed
eral judge Is expected to rule to
day on whether eight reluctant
pro spective witnesses can be
forced to testify before the grand
jury that indicted Harry Bridges.
Bridges, president of the CIO
longshoremen’s and warehouse- *
men’s union, is accused of perjury
and conspiracy to defraud in testi
fying he had never been a com
munist. He gave this testimony to
obtain his U. S. citizenship in
1945.
Frank Slaby, a union associate
of Bridges, refused for the second
day in a row yesterday to testify .
before the grand jury.
F. Joseph Donohue, special as
sistant to the U. S. attorney gen
eral, said a contempt citation
against Slaby would be presented
today to Judge Michael J. Roche.
Herbert Resner, attorney for
Slaby, asked Judge Roche to
quash the subpoenas for Slaby
and seven others on grounds they
failed to state the nature of the
action before the grand jury.
Resner said *‘The grand jury is
without power to swear or ques
tion an yof the eight.” The grand
jury recessed until Monday.
