THE DAILY ALASKA EMPIRE VOL. LXXIV., NO. 11,380 PICKETING CASES UP, HIGH COURT WASHINGTON, Dec. 19—(M— ‘The Supreme Court today agreed to consider a three-way attack on a Washington state law which curbs union picketing activity. Three unions — two them ordered to pay a total of $750 aamages—appealed to the tribunal in an effort to upset the law’s ban against picketing when there is no immediate employer-employee dis- pute. ‘The unions claim this violates the free speech guarantees of the Fed- eral Constitution. In one of the three cases which the court agreed to review for later decision, a Bremerton, Wash., local of the Building Service Employees International Union was ordered to pay W. L. Gazzam, owner of the Enetai Inn, $500. The State Supreme Court in up- holding the damage award found that none of Gazzam’s workers was a member of the picketing union and none had expressed a desire to join the union. In other actions today Ltefore declaring a two-week holiday re- cess, the court: Held in effect that automobile clubs are not exempt from Federal Income and Excess Profits Taxes. Ruled in effect that the Army was within its rights in arresting| in this country a former civilian employee of a post exchange in Germany for removal there on a charge involving improper use of cigarette coupons.

The Washington, Merry - Go-Round By DREW PEARSON ICopyrignt, 1949, by Bell Syndicate. Inc.) of t ASHINGTON—President Tru- man is still brooding over the lick- ing he took trying to reappoint Le- land Olds to the Federal Power Commission. Though it’s too late to change[ the results, the President found! another letter endorsing Olds and sent it right up to the Senate the other day. He scribbled an ac- companying note to Vice President Barkley, asking him to insert it in the Congressional record. The letter in favor of the lost cause was written by Senator-elect Lehman of New York to Ed Johnson of Colorado, Chairman of the Sen- ate Commerce Committee which finally vetoed the Olds appointment. Johnson, who was against Olds, never made the letter public. But when the President got hold of a copy, he sent it to, Barkley with a note “to the Vice President” scribbled on yellow scratch paper. “This is a copy of a letter Gov- ernor Lehman wrote Ed Johnson about Olds,” wrote the President. “I don't think it saw daylight. Will you see that it goes in the Record? We must have a complete record on this event.—HST.” Note—Since his appointment to the Federal Power Commission re- placing Olds, Truman’s old friend, Ex-Senator Mon Wallgren, has gone back on him. Recently Wallgren voted to give electric power from Kingman’s Canyon, in the Central (Continued on Page Four) .

Govt. Witness Which Prove fo Be False SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 19—(P— The government charged today that al. attorney for Harry Bridges was wrong last week when he intimated that the government witness had been convictd of a liquor law viola- tion. The witness was Manning John- son, a Negro, and professed ex- Communist. His testimony had placed Bridges, head of the CIO ‘ongshore union, in high councils of the Communist party. - Bridges is charged with perjury, accused of swearing falsely in his 1945 naturalization hearing that he was not and never was a Com- munist. Johnson had testified he once ran a pool hall and restaurant in Alliance, Nebr, and had never been convicted of a crime. James Meclnnis, attorney for Bridges, asked him “Isn’t it true that on the PFirst day of December, 1926, you were found guilty of posuulon iof intoxicating liquor?” Federal Judge George B. Harris cut off this questioning and there was a demand that MacInnis get a certified copy of any conviction. He said he would. Today, F. Joseph Donohue, head of the prosecution staff, told re- { porters out of court that he had re- ,colved records showing that the Johnson convicted in Alliance was ‘nat Manning Johnson, the witness, but a man 14'years older, who sub- sequently was killed by a woman. Donohue declared he would ask Judge Harris to clear up this mat- er of identity, but the court set it over a day. u smned that Paul Crouch, an COMintnist “member-for- 17 years, would be on the stand most of the day under Ccross« examination by the defense. He testified today, as the defense Guestioned him, that the highest number of Communist dues-payers in this country was 92,000 in 1939.
