Bridges Says
Senate Probe Is
Aimed at Union
HONOLULU UPV—Harry Bridges
contended yesterday that a sena
torial probe into Communism in
Hawaii was aimed at his Interna
tional Longshoremen’s and Ware
housemen's Union and would hin
der the islands’ drive for state
hood.
Sen. James O. Eastland (D-Miss)
said his subcommittee was “just
seeking informalion ... on tne
Communist conspiracy” and that
“statehood has absolutely and ut
terly nothing to do with these
hearings.”
Eastland opens the hearing Fri
day. It may continue 10 to 14
tiays.
Bridges, in a bristling talk to
newsmen, asserted the hearings
were concerned with statehood.
He noted that Eastland had said
nothing would divert the Senate
group from the “isstie that brought
us here” and declared:
“I don’t think anything but a
white America and a white Ha
waii would divert Eastland.”
The labor leader called the sub
committee hearings “a combina
tion junket during the winter at
the expense of taxpayers, mixed
with Eastland’s avowed opposition
to statehood for Hawaii.”
Bridges’ union has planned a
territory-wide strike against the
hearings by its 24,000 members in
the pineapple, sugar and dock
industries. Union leaders said that
there would be a mass demonstra
tion in front of the hearing room
Friday.

Russia Interferes With
Allied Train Movements
In and Out of Berlin
FRANKFURT, Germany, UP*—
Western officials refused today to
say whether they considered seri
ous the sudden Russian interfer
ence with movement of Allied
military trains in and out of Ber
lin.
The Russians turned back a
British train from Berlin to ihe
West Sunday night, held up a U.S.
train for two hours, and delayed
another U.S train Monday night.
Allied officials said the Soviets
had introduced new document
procedures, but what they were
they did not say.
The free movement of allied
military trains thru Communist
East Germany was guaranteed by
Russia in a four power agreement
signed after the 1948 Berlin block
ade attempt by the Russians had
failed.
