DECATUR DAILY DEMOCRAT WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 16, 1938.

URGE BRIDGES GO ON TRIAL Legion Demands Secretary Perkins Push Early Trial Indianapolis, Nov. 16. — (U.PJI — Stephen F. Chadwick, national commander of the American Legion, today demanded of Secretary of Labor Frances Perkins that the trial of Harry Bridges, west coast committee for industrial organization leader subject to deportation as an undesirable alien, proceed without delay. The demand for action came as a result of resolutions adopted at the national convention in Los Angeles, which charged that "certain officials of the department of labor have failed miserable in enforcement of the laws relative to immigration and deportation.” They named Bridges specifically because of his alleged communistic aetlvties. Chadwick told state department commanders and adjutants assembled in conference here that the demand was sent to Miss Perkins yesterday. In the message the national commander stated that “we do not pre-judge any situation but we do demand that the orderly processes designed for the protection of our country, its peace and happiness, be pursued. “We are interested that every person subjected to charges which might warrant deportation should have the legal benefit of these legal lower chamber may have considerable difficulty getting its officers elected, committees appointed and patronage dispensed. Unofficial tabulations reveal°d that the house will be composed of 51 Republicans and 49 Democrats. The Democrats may contest the vote in one or two counties in an effort to even the number or gain a slight advantage. With Tucker presiding, the Republicans will be in an advantageous position during the organizing days, even though the me.ibership is so close, for he will control parliamentary proceed ings. Democratic leaders are wait) tg for the final tabulation by the secretary of state before deciding whether to file contests for Koenemann. If Tucker's majority is narrow, it is likely that Dem> cratic contests will lie launched. If the margin is wide, the recount demands probably will be dropped. Democratic state headquarters have Tucker elected by 989 votes on the basis of tabulations they have made and are ready to concede Koenemann’s defeat while maintaining that all other Democratic state candidates we-e elected.

rights which all people charged with offenses against our government are Jrotected.” West coast Legion departments have charged since 1984 that Bridges is subject to deportation as an undesirable alien. Chadwick said the demand was made after the elections so that it would not be considered “as a matter of political Implication." Sam W. Reynolds of Omaha, Nebr., chairman of the Legion's national finance committee, told the conference that the Legion would reach its membership peak in 1944 and that by the year 2,000 taps will have been sounded for the last member. About 700,000 veterans have died since the war, he said. His report followed the annual telegraphic membership roil call which revealed an advance membership of 1939 or 532,082, a new all-time high. This was 88,732 greater than the advance membership for 1938 and indicated that the Legion's enrollment next year would go above the 1,000,000 mark. Indiana ranked among the first 10 departments in fulfilling tbe 1939 quotas with an advance enrollment of 25,125, or 80.05 percent of the quota of 31,211. The annual conference closes at noon today. o TO MAKE PROBE OF COMMITTEE Dies Committee Votes To Probe LaFollette Committee Washington, Nov. 16 — (U.R) — The house committee investigating un-American activities prepared today for the almost unprecedented action of investigating another congressional committee. The committee voted last night to investigate the origin of the senate inquiry into civil liberties, headed by Sen. Robert M. LaFollette, Prog., Wis. It also issued a subpoena for Henry Zon, Washington correspondent of the Federated Press and author of an article in the magazine “Fight,” published by the League for Peace and Democracy, in which the alleged “birth” of the LaFollette commit tee was discussed. The action was taken upon the demand of Rep. Harold Mosier, D„ O„ who was defeated in this fall's primary for renominatioa. Rep. Noah I. Mason, R., 111., seconded Mosier's proposal, adding that he thought “the people should know” that a group of outspoken and known communists” were present at the inception of the senate committee. Mosier's first suggestion of such an investigation came at public hearings yesterday. He said that he had read Zon's article which, he alleged, said that the “investigation was born" at a meeting attended by Chairman John L. Lewis of the committee for industrial organization, LaFollette. Gardner Jackson of the American Civil Liberties Union. Dorotny Detzer of the Women’s International League for Peace anti Freedom, and “other liberals and socially minded people.” Today the committee will decide whether to hear Zon. when he appears, in public or executive session. It also is scheduled to hear two Detroit members of the United Automobile Workers union. Chairman Dies, D„ Tex., said that he did not want a dispute with another congressional committee but that his group wanted ,to know whether communists were pi esent at the alleg 'd “birth" meeting. o PRESIDENT ASSAILS (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE) months, some of them insist. Back of it all are hope and belief that a continental partnership would be too imposing for any aggressor to dare adventure in the new world But battleships are rising from their cradles in the shipyards and more are to be built. "Educational orders" shortly will be accustoming more peace time manufacturers to the requirements of army material. New anti-aircraft defense is in the making: a new automatic rifle for Infantrymen has been devised. The 20th anniversary of the Armistice finds the nation arming as in 1916—one year before we entered the world war. Powerful minority voices may be raised in congress to extmd "continental defense” even further. One influential senate foietgn relations committee member told the United Press that Mr. Roos 0 veil should emphatically re-affirm the unilateral Monroe doctrine in all its particulars but without presuming any United States right or obligation to interfe.a in internal affairs of any aiatsr republic. Significantly — probably tomorrow —the United States will sign trade agreements with Canada and Great Britain. There will be a ceremony and speeches so

that the world will not fail to mark the economic—possible political —Importance of the signing. And, shortly, King George VI and Queen Elizabeth will be Mr. Roosevelt’s guests. All of that may be coincidental. But some persons feel that it ties in with the parallel course of action now frequent between London and Washington. Scarcely remarked at yesterdays White House press conference was Mr. Roosevelt's prompt “No," in reply to a question whether national defense plans contemplated a United States navy capable of defending both Pacific Gid Atlantic coasts simul taneously. The currently projected navy is said by experts to be too small for that double task. Notable, therefore, is the consistent basing of the United States fleet in Pacific waters although a small detail is assigned to the east coa«t. Battle station for the British grand fleet is in North Sea waters.

Early'season catches i rarely bring top prices as the fur is usually of poor quality, the best I prices being realized on pelts taken during the iater part of the winter.
