...Pacific Coast's Australian-born International Longshoremen's Boss Harry Bridges, who rocks with the Reds but enrolls with the Republicans, hove into a California court and met an old acquaintance, Restaurateuse Sally Stanford (real name: Mabel Janice Busby), now retired from a crimson career as one of San Francisco's red-hot madams (her once-elegant Pine Street hostelry is now a booze dispensary called the Fallen Angel). At the Valhalla, Sally's fancy restaurant in Sausalito, Bridges was caught in the men's room last September by two seamen, both unfriendly members...

Still to be settled is the union's demand-vigorously opposed by the shipping association on the ground that it can only bargain for shippers in its own area-that the I.L.A. be given a master contract covering all Atlantic and Gulf ports. Beyond that, the I.L.A. and the shippers...
