Harry Bridges also was in trouble with his own people last week. Having carried his "inland march" from his original waterfront stamping ground to the point where he bosses C. I. O. in California, he has encountered much antagonism among garment, auto, other unions. Last week the leaders of four Los Angeles locals (automobiles, rubber, garments, shoes) seceded from his California Industrial Union Council, charged that he was nesting with Communists.

...aggravation, unfortunately, had little to do with the case. The Tumen River forms the northeastern boundary of Korea, a country which Japan has held since 1910 when she snatched it from Russia's aspiring grasp.

Meanwhile, steel production rose again, reaching 39.8% of capacity, an eleven-point rise since prices were cut June 24. Lumber production and wholesale food prices were also up. Freight loadings were off more than seasonally, as was power production. Wheat prices broke to new lows for the year and bank clearings slipped $700,000,000 from the previous week, were 14.6% under...
...have also flown mail for years across the South Atlantic. For the last year the experimental S. S. Carimare has been dawdling in the middle of the ocean collecting weather information; for the first time Air France Transatlantique (combination of Air France and Compagnie Generale Transatlantique) is on the point of sending planes across the North Atlantic. This month and next, the hulking, 40-ton, six-motored Latecoere Lt. de Vaisseau Paris will make half-a-dozen round trips...
