...sharp blow for the Government in its effort to prove Harry Bridges had lied at his naturalization proceedings in 1945, when he denied he was or ever had been a Communist. When Johnson stepped down, the U.S. trotted out ex-Communist No. 6 from its stable of witnesses. Paul Crouch, a tall, black-haired Miami newsman who had spent 17 years in the party, backed up much of what Manning Johnson had said, added that he had heard a party leader in 1938 recommend Bridges for another term on the national committee although "he was temperamental and hard to work...

...year is estimated at 11,500,000, or only one-quarter oyster for every man, woman & child in Great Britain. There is a shortage, blamed on the weather and U.S. invaders.
