Bridges Says He Likes US
San Francisco, Feb. 16 — (U.P.)
Harry Bridge, who may be deported to his native Australia if he is found guilty of denying he was a Communist, says he likes the United States well enough to stay here.
Mr. Bridges went through a second day of cross-examination Wednesday at his perjury-conspiracy trial. Prosecutor F. Joseph Donohue asked him his opinion on Communism, Fascism, Democracy, the world's situation and trade unions.
situation and the examination gave Bridges a chance to unleash a torrent of words. His longest answer lasted 14 minutes.
The prosecutor read a state department description of collective bargaining in Russia. He asked Mr. Bridges if he knew unions in Russia were forbidden to strike.
The government was trying to prove that Mr. Bridges committed perjury at his naturalization hearing in 1915 by denying he was a member of the Communist party.
Two union aides, J. R. Robertson and Henry Schmidt, are accused of conspiring with him.
"It may be true of Russia," Mr. Bridges replied. "... It sounds more like a report from England. I know you can't strike in England. They call out the troops if you do."
When Mr. Donohue asked him what he thought about the possibility of war with Russia, Mr. Bridges answered:
"The state department doesn't believe, and I don't believe, that Russia intends to make war on us. But if she does, it doesn't matter what I think. The American people will determine what to do, and if we fight, I'll fight too. You just can't turn the other cheek."
can't off the troops.
"However, I am interested in
America," he said. "I like it and I
hope to stay here."
Mr. Bridges sidestepped questions whether he thought Russia was a totalitarian state or whether it was a democracy.
Supervisors Attend Business Institute
More than 70 small business supervisors in the Pittsburg area attended a Management Training institute held by the University Extension in cooperation with Kansas State Teachers college.
"This institute was an experiment," said Dean F. T. Stockton, of University Extension division, "and if we think it was a success, similar courses may be given throughout the state."
The course lasted three days and consisted of five classes conducted by Tom Hutsell, supervisory training specialist of University Extension.

Serving KANSAS
. . . by making business
BETTER FOR EVERYBODY!
The Kansas Power and Light Company is serving Kansas in many ways . . . in addition to supplying utility service for more than 375 cities and towns in the state. Every dollar of payroll or taxes, every dollar invested in construction or development by KP&L means more money in circulation for all to share. Last year, for example, our Company spent approximately $17 million for expansion of plant facilities in Kansas, thereby broadening the tax base which helps relieve the real property burden of the individual taxpayers of Kansas.
In addition, our Company paid more than $4 million in taxes and approximately $5 million in wages and salaries, and that made jobs for you and your neighbors, and made business better for everybody.
We ask you, our neighbors, to consider these benefits resulting from the operation of a private enterprise.
