As "soon as he is arrested, his attorney will apply In federal court for a writ of habeas corpus. cor-pus. This will permit his release on bond, and, resrardless of the decision, there will be appeals up to the supreme court. This meant that if this last avenue of escape is eventually closed to him, Bridges can't be deported for at least a year. Irwin Wixon, head of the U. S. Immigration Service, understood a deportation warrant was being telegraphed from Washington. When it arrives he will take Bridges into custody. Bridges telegraphed War Production Pro-duction Director Donald Nelson that he would oppose any demonstration demon-stration of sympathy on the part of his followers or organized labor generally that might interfere with war production. His telegram read: "I wish to assure you that despite des-pite outrageous decisions of At-tornev At-tornev General (Francis) Biddle, and the numerous protests already pouring in from workers, I will do all possible to offset any effect it might have on production program pro-gram and labor-management unity and will urge all workers and uniors I can influence to redouble efforts in-peedine production to win the main fight, the fight against the Axis." Bridges reiterated his contention conten-tion that the charge of Communist affiliation was brought against him because of his union activity. He is president of the ClO's Longshoremen's and Warehousemen's Warehouse-men's union. "Tt was the fight for union conditions con-ditions and against Fascist agression ag-ression conducted by my union which led to the origination of the charge of Communism against me." he said He asserted that the justice department de-partment order was "based on misstatements, prejudice and perjured per-jured testimony which have characterized char-acterized the entire case. WASHINGTON, May 28 (U.R) Congressmen today were puzzled by the order for deportation f Harry R. Bridges, Pacific coast CIO leader, and several admittd that they were unable to reconcile recon-cile it with President Roosevelt's recent commutation of the sen tence of Earl Browder.

Vita Marcan-tonio, Marcan-tonio, America-Laborite, N. Y., denounced it as a blow to national na-tional unity and the war effort. INDIANAPOLIS, May 29 P.P The American Legion, through National Commander Lynn U. Stambaugh, today endorsed Attorney At-torney General Francis Biddle's deportation order against Harry Bridges as the "only proper decision.'' de-cision.'' A statement by Stambaugh, issued is-sued at his Fargo, N. D., home and released here, cited the fbur-year fbur-year attempt of the legion to secure Bridges' deportation. "We feel that the American's regard for citizenship will be enhanced en-hanced by this order to deport an alien who has shown open disregard disre-gard and contempt for our form of government and has advocated its overthrow," the statement said.

For the fourth straight night the RAF attacked German-controlled airdromes In Sicily, important import-ant base of supply for Rommel, and ' bombed the German air force's "ferry terminus" at Messina Mes-sina and the Sicilian harbors of Catania and Augusta. In the vicinity of Tobruk itself, British fighters battled a squadron squad-ron of German air raiders Wednesday Wed-nesday night and shot down two Junkers-87s. The RAF also reported a dusk attack on the main landing field at Tmimi, I talo-German advance base west of Tobruk. Failing to take the key desert point of El Adem, 15 miles southwest south-west of the British coastal stronghold strong-hold of Tobruk, the Germans pressed advanced forces eastward to the Ed Duda-Sidi Rezegh front, about ,25 miles southeast of Tobruk. To-bruk. These were repulsed, and the Germans joined two columns at a desert trail crossroads, about 20 miles southwest of Tobruk. Here ,the communique said, the combined enemy force engaged British armored forces for a test of strength which Gen. Erwin Rommel, the German commander-in-chief, was believed to have sought. On the result of this fight, it was indicated, might depend Rommel's Rom-mel's strategy and tactics in his new drive eastward for the fifth great Libyan campaign. The British and German forces were fighting, in dust and haze under a burning desert sun,- at a remote camel trail junction which j British troops have called Knights-bridge, Knights-bridge, for the artery and shopping shop-ping center in the west end of London. It is about 12 miles south of Acroma, which in turn is 18 miles west of Tobruk and about 10 miles in from the coast. Enemy forces which hit the British line south of El Adem, in the desert, were repulsed and British armored units, penetrating penetrat-ing behind the enemy front lines, started a heavy attack on Axis supply columns. Royal Air Force planes, many of them American Douglas bombers bomb-ers and Curtiss Kittyhawk fighters, fight-ers, joined in support of the ground forces, bombing and machine-gunning enemy tanks and supply trucks as they moved in the haze and dust clouds across the desert. Fighting' over 2,500 square miles of desert from the coast southward of the Bir Hacheim wells, was described as a con fused dog-fight, on the ground and in the .air, with armored forces of both sides so mixed that some times the planes could not tell them apart. Military quarters believed that the German command hoped to isolate, and take if he could, the British stronghold of Tobruk, which had held out for months in earlier campaigns against Axis siege and attack. It was said, however, that it probably would be impossible to tell for another day at least where the Germans were really heading or what actual success they had achieved. "Fantasia 5?
