Sen. Neuberger Opposes
Limiting Importation of
Frozen Tuna From Japan
WASHINGTON, {3—Sen. Neu
berger (D-Ore) opposes efforts to
limit the importation of fresh
frozen tuna from Japan.
He wrote Undersecretary of
State Herbert C. Hoover Jr. Fri
day that such a move would be
contrary to a “sound application
of our principles of international
trade.”
“Purchases of tuna from Japan
ese fishermen make available to
Japan dollars which can in turn
be spent for grain, timber and
other products,” Neuberger said.
“The frozen fish purchased by
American canneries in turn pro
vides employment for cannery
workers as well as for workers in
the industries furnishing cans, oil,
and transportation for the finished
product.”
He said he had been advised by
the Columbia River Packers Assn,
temporary dislocations in the
market for tuna caught elsewhere
in the Pacific “is not the result of
imports of frozen tuna from
Japan.”
Admitted Communist
Didn’t Think Bridges
Was Party Material
SAN FRANCISCO, (JV-An ad
mitted former Communist says he
didn’t think Harry Bridges “was
suitable material” for the party.
Herbert Mann, 48, a San Fran
cisco longshoreman, made the
statement in denying testimony of
a key government witness that he
had known Bridges as a. fellow
Communist.
Mann, testifying as a defense
witness in the government’s civil
suit to revoke the U.S. citizenship
of the Australian labor leader,
said he had opposed trying to re
cruit Bridges into the party.
“I didn’t think he was suitable
material,” Mann said.
Mann contradicted testimony by
government witness John Sho
maker, a former Communist func
tionary, who said Mann advocated
recruiting Bridges into the party.
The government charges that
Bridges obtained his citizenship
fraudulently by swearing at his
naturalization hearing that he had
never been a Communist.

posed on all minors, in uniform

cation at the First Methodist
Church. The teen-age committee
