will call a witness today in the
Harry Bridges perjury trial who
will “carry a leal punch.”

day os both prosecution and de
fense made opening statements to
the middle-aged jury of eight men
and four women
First witness called for today
when defense chief Vincent Halli
nan finishes his opening statement,
was Lloyd Garner, examiner be
fore whom Bridges appeared for
naturalization. F. Joseph Dono
hue,, chief prosecuting attorney,
declined to name his next witness,
but members of his staff said his
testimony “would carry a real
punch.”
The government, charging that
the West Coast longshore leader

was not a communist in his 1945
naturalization hearing, will at

secret member of the communist
party’s powerful central commit

The defense will attempt to
prove that the present trial is part
o fy conspiracy to get the Austral
ia n-oom Bridges out of the coun
try.

145 MPH Typhoon
Hits Guam; Does
Much Damage
(Continued from Page One)
ed the typhoon would be 300 miles
northwest of Guam this afternoon.
The storm covers a 360 mile radi
us.
(Last direct communication be
tween the Associated Press bur
eau in San Francisco and its Guam
correspondent said civil authori
ties on Guam had checked homes
and business houses for safety
measures before the storm struck).
GUAM. i/P* — This huge U. S.
base today emerged battered and
bruised from a typhoon with 115
mile winds or more which wrought
damage possibly high in the mil
lions.
No deaths were reported. There
were few serious injuries.
0 The all-clear came at 9 a.m. af
ter a night of howling winds, and
the repair of the damage began.
Both civilian and military proper
ty was hard hit. Communications
have been partly restored.
Rear Adm. Edward C. Ewen,
commander in the Marianas, said
that damage was “very extensive.”
Ewen’s headquarters was badly
hit, as were warehouses and quon
set housing. A stockpile of paint
at the Marines’ fifth service depot
burned at t.ie height of the storm.
Report of heavy damage came
from the naval supply center, and
Camp Witeck, home of the Fleet

Before World War II, U. S.

dustries had 50 million horse
power available and U. S. agri
culture had 97 million horsepower.
