Attack Judge In
Bri»lges’ Case

tion of attorneys who vigorously
defend their clients.”
The trial of Bridges resumes
Monday after a Thanksgiving re
cess. lie and two associates are
charged with conspiracy to com
mit perjury in swearing during
naturalization proceedings the
CIO longshore leader was not a
communist.
The holiday week-end gave
Judge Harris an opportunity to
review a defense contention that
events prior to June 18, 1945, date
of a Supreme Court decision on
Bridges, fall under the doctrine of
res adjudicata—things already de
cided.
If the defense wins the argu
ment, the prosecution will have to
confine its case to events between
June 18 and September 17, 1945,1
date of Bridges’ naturalization.
The trial will resume Monday I
with John H. Schomauer, former
Communist and former waterfront
associate of Bridges, in the wit
ness chair.

Construction of operational fa
cilities in Alaska, including a tele
phone system, maintenance racks
for bombardment aircraft, warm
storage for vehicles, several radio
installations, a power steam plant:
and other utilities needed by the
Alaska Air Command at various
installations will cost $12,160,187.
At Okinawa’s Kadena, about 425
family units will be built at a cost
of $8,833,075. BOQ’s and enlisted
men’s barracks there will cost
$7,439,199.
Alaska ad Okinawa work will
be done by private contractors as
the result of lump sum bids. A to
tal of $24,689,567 will be available
for Alaskan construction and $24,-;
145,203 for Okinawa.
The higher cost per unit for
family apartments to be built in
Alaska, as compared with Okin
awa, is caused by higher labor
costs in the Territory and the Ter
ritory and the necessity of thor
ough insulation, heating, and
greater cost of transportation for
materials to Alaska.
The Alaska housing will be
p e r m a n ent-type construction,
while Okinawa buildings will be
the minimum required, although
typhoon resistant.
Alaska construction is to start
early next spring and should be
completed in slightly more than
two years. Okinawa construction
will start as soon as possible and
be completed in two years.
Some Alaska housing units will
be ready for occupancy next fall
while some Okinawa family apart
ments will be ready within four to 1
six months after construction is
started.
Alfalfa does not produce seed
abundantly when planted on east- '
ern U. S. farms and most east- i

Locomotives To

(Continued from Page One)
contract for the Alaska Raliroad.
The contract includes conversion
of 23 army hospital cars to pas
senger coaches.
The locomotives had been gath
ering rust in yards at Camp Hola
bird, Md., and Bethlehem, Pa.,
since the end of the war when
they were acquired from the army
by the department of the interior
as port of a multi-million dollar
rehabilitation program for the
Alaska Railroad.
The conversion includes com
plete overhaul of the power plans,
boosting output from 650 to 1,000
horsepower, installation of elabor
ate insulation and temperature
control equipment and shrouding
the engines with Vfc-inch steel
plates. A snowplow will be affixe
ed to each locomotive.
When the engines reach Alaska,
they will be operated under direc
tion of the same man who ran
them in Iran.
John P. Johnson, general man
ager of the Alaska Railroad, as a
wartime colonel, commanded the
army transportation troops that
manned the lend-lease railroad.
The general superintendent at
the marine yard commerrted: “We
bid against the biggest locomotive
builders in the country for this
job. and they said we couldn't do
the job at the price we fixed. But
we are. There’s nothing about this
that a good crew of marine work
ers can’t solve.”
The first locomotive is sched
uled to be “launched” by the end
of the month. It’s expected to do
up to 60 knots.

For Settlement
| ((Ah Special Washington Service'
WASHINGTON, bP)—1The mte
j rior department said today it is
going to open 2,000 acres of pub
lic land southeast of Anchorage,
to settlement early next year.
The land has been part of the
Fort Richardson reserv a t i o n .
Homesteads and business site*
will account for 860 acres of the
offering.
Most of the remaining land will
be divided into tracts of five acres
or less, for sale or lease as sites
for houses or cabins. In answer to
the people’s request, 20 acres of
land along Campbell Creek will
be used for the public recreational
area” assistant secretary of the
interior William E. Warne said in
a news release.
The small tracts area is east and
southeast of Anchorage postolfice
and most of it accessible to the
Campbell airport road. The other
lands will become accessible upon
completion of the Potter road.
“The land is generally level to
gently sloping,” Warne said.
“Soils are silt or sandy loam,
shallow and incompletely devel
oped.”
Veterans will receive preference
in distribution of the tracts. Prices
and rentals will be nominal. Win
ners of land units will be deter
mined by a public drawing a: An
chorage after all the units have
been classified.
HARMONICA EXCHANGED—
THAT'S FLAT
WASHINGTON. {&> — Richard
E. Volland. 19. bought a harmon
ica. Some of the notes sounded
flat to him so he took it back. The
store wouldn’t do anything about
it. Volland went to court.
Judge George D. Neilson re
quested him to, play the harmon
ica. He did. Judge Neilson said it
sounded pretty bad.
“Let’s have another try,’’ he
said. Volland obliged. The judge
said it‘still sounded bad. He gave
the store two weeks to make good,
or else.
