Wilson Asks Senate Waive
Stock Disposal Rule For
Prospective Assistants
WASHINGTON, UP) — Secretary
of Defense Wilson has asked
members of the Senate Armed
Services Committee to waive their
stock disposal rule so he can hire
two more big businessmen as top
assistants.
L The Defense Secretary’s move
to reopen the touchy political sit
uation seemed likely to bring flat
refusal from Armed Services Com
mittee members. Senators willing
tor discuss the matter predicted
the committee will not relent in
its requirements that defense of
ficials 'dispose of their industrial
holdings.
The law says that no federal
official shall do business with any
firm in which he has even an in
direct financial interest.

Bridges Says Government
Wants to Destroy ILWU
SAN FRANCISCO, UP) —Harry
Bridges charges the government
wants to destroy the International
Longshoremen’s and Warehouse
men’s Union.
Bridges made the charge at the
union’s convention Wednesday
after Frank Maxey, a member of
Local 6 since 1939, alone opposed
a resolution pledging ILWU sup
port to Bridges and former union
officers J. R. Robertson and
Henry Schmidt.
In 1950 all three were con
victed of perjury and conspiracy
to commit perjury. A federal dis
trict court jury ruled Bridges had
lied when he swore, in obtaining
citizenship, that he was not and
never had a been a Communist.
Bridges told the 200 delegates
their responsibility was to “keep
the union going . . . the govern
ment is not concerned whether I,
Robertson or Schmidt were ever
members of the Communist party.
They’re concerned with breaking
this union.”
