Manning Johnson's testimony struck a 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.
