I Witness Testifies
Bridg es Was Dues
Paying Communist
(Continued from Page One)
he attended, he said, was in San
Diego in 1935, when the Califor
nia State Federation of Labor was
holding its convention. He said
Bridges and Schmidt were pres
ent at the party meeting which
discussed means of getting one of
their own number in as federa
tion vice president instead of Paul
Scharrenberg.
Scho maker’s testimony was
puctuated by a running fire of ob
jections from defense counsel. It
came after Judge George H. Har
ris rejected a defense motion to
rule it out on the ground that no
testimony should be -allowed on
events prior to June 18, 1945.
That was the date on which the
Supreme Court of the United
States said Bridges had not been
proven a communist and cancel
led an order to deport him.
In another offshot of the case,
attorney George Olshausen filed
a motion to vacate Judge Harris’
contempt judgment against chief
defense attorney Vincent Halli
nan. Hallinan last week was sen
tenced to six months in jail for
criminal contempt, but allowed to
finish out the trial.
Jolted a few times, but un
shaken in his main story, govern
ment witness John F. Schomaker,
who has testified Bridges was a
dues paying communist who took
orders from state communist boss
Sam Darcy during the great 1934
longshore strike. During that
strike Bridges rose from obscurity
to a power on West Coast water
fronts.
In his last direct testimony
Schomaker described a clandes
tine meeting in a Santa Clara
county prune orchard with Earl
Browder, then the communist
chief in this country, during the
1934 strike. Bridges was present,
Schomaker said. Browder talked
about police “terror tactics” and
advised the strikers to line up
more support.
Cross-examination began with
Schomaker detailing “lousy con
ditions” he said prevailed on the
waterfront prior to the 1934 strike.

Federal Alaskan
Agencies Seek
I Unification
—
JUNEAU (/P)—Federal agencies
in Alaska were launching a “uni
i fication” project of their own to
day.
Sixteen representatives of the
various agencies were starting a
three-day conference in an effort
to coordination of needs end
smoothing of construction and
building desires of each branch.
It is the first such session in
Alaska. The branches include
army, navy, air force, coast guard,
civil aeronautics administration,
civil aeronautics board, the Alas
ka Railroad, the mails, interior
department and communications.
Co-chairmen are Kenneth Ka
dow, chairman of the interior de
partment’s Alaska field commit
tee, and Lt. Gen. Nathen F. Twin
ing, who heads the Alaska mili
tary command.
General Twining said in ad
vance of the conference that large
parcels of land now held by the
military will be returned soon to
the public domain. He did not
mention any specific areas, but
said the armed forces now hold
too much land.
U. S. Commissioner’s Court
Andrew Eben was bound over
to the Grand Jury on a charge of
larceny.
examination, Schomaker slack to
his testimony linking Bridges with
the communist party and his dec
laration that the communists di
rected the 1934 strike. He said
they told Bridges what to do.
Defense attorney Vincent Halli
nan went over exhaustively a 1938
meeting at which Schomaker tes
tified Bridges spoke, saying he
was a communist and urging oth
ers to join. The attorneys brought
out that Bridges was then facing
a deportation action; had been
under investigation the previous
year and had sworn under oath
that he was not a communist.
Under such circumstances, Hal
linan implied, Bridges would not
likely have gotten up before a
gathering of communists and non
communists and proclaimed he
was a party member.
