HARRY BRIDGES DEPORTATION That Harry Bridges deportation case in San Francisco is now closed and awaits decision by the trial Jjudge. Only he knows what the out- come will be. But near the very close something happened which nearly upset the Government's applecart. Richard Frankensteen, CIO Auto Worker official, who tried to stop the North American Aviation strike, was put on the stand as a Govern- ment witness. { The idea of having Frankensteen testify was proposed by Director of Immigration Lemuel Schofield in charge of the deportation proceed- ings. But it was opposed by FBI As- sistant Director Earl Connelley, who asked if Schofield knew what Prank- ensteen was going to say on the witness stand. Schofield indicated that the United Auto Worker Vice- President was going to tell about Bridges' communist background, but groups clashed face to face at a| admitted that he had not gone into the details of his testimony. | “I'm absolutely against any wit- ness going on the stand until he has reviewed his testimony in advance,” Connelley remonstrated.

Later Connelley saw Frankensteen talking with Bridges in the corridor and warned Schofield to be careful. The Immi- gration director, however, insisted that he be put on the stand. Almost immediately after he was arguments with the following telling | sworn in Frankensteen pulled a pre- pared statement out of his pocket | and proceeded to berate the Justice Department for irying Harry Bridg- es twice.

A Re- publican National Committeeman from Florida, he is a 100-percent supporter of defense and all-out iturns on a stereotyped speech of |aid to Britain, is extremely critical welcome—the same speech, word for word, every time. AUTO SHOWDOWN Behind that demand of Under- secretary of War Patterson for a 50 percent slash in auto production is a head-on showdown in a long un- dercover inner Defense battle be-| tween the “business as usual” and the military chiefs. It never leaked out, but befare Patterson sent his letter to OPM in- sisting on the auto cut, the two boys meeting in his office. Among those present at this meet- ing was OPM Director General Knudsen.

He holds that similar action now would again solve the critical steel problem. ! NOTE.—Some Defense chiefs fav- |or dealing with the auto issue by a |different method than cutting pro- |duction.

Under such |a system, alto production might be |cut to 25 percent, or less.

Arrests and trials of sus- pected traitors will be of slight avail, the seers declare, unless sweeping changes are made in the personnels of certain crews, and harbor employees.

"MONDAY, JUNE 23 f This is not an important day in planetary government, but benefic aspects are. discerned. It is a fa- vorable date for making plans &nd for signing contracts. s Heart and Home: Women are under a favorable direction of the stars today, but the afternoon should be more fortunate than the morning. There is a sign presaging success to girls who are employed in newspaper work. A few will gain fame as war correspondents and many will engage in political com- ment. This is a lucky day for those who seek employment in any form of public service. The stars prom- ise good fortune to actresses and women musicians who provide en- tertainment for soldiers. This is an auspicious date for, weddings. Business Affairs: charges of graft may be made as Government expenses for defense and war activities pile high.

International Affairs: Like a prairie fire sparks from world war battles will ignite distant countries in the terrible war. The outlook for the future includes years of diffi- cult readjustment after world peace is attained, so it is well to pre- pare for economic as well as an arms conflict. This is a time of be continued opposition in Con- gress as Administration plans u.re.’ presented. Persons who birthdate it is have the augury of a year of fair finan- cial success. Deals in land should be profitable. Children born on this day prob- ably will be popular, but as they develop into promising artists they should be exacting about the right sort of publicity.
