UMW Chief Blocks Dawson Seat On Welfare Fund Trustees
John L. Lewis blocked seating former Federal Judge Charles I. Dawson as operator trustee of the miners welfare fund during a three hour session in Washington. The fight centers on control of about 13 million dollars in funds and the legality of spending without a formal contract. Dawson's bid and Van Horn’s resignation trigger a stalled renewal with a possible court challenge and another meeting slated for December.

Bridges Defense Delays Testimony in Bridges Perjury Trial
In San Francisco on November 21, defense tactics postponed the government’s plan to call its first major witness in the Harry Bridges perjury conspiracy trial. Vincent Hallinan pressed to enter his version of a vast conspiracy to “get” Bridges, while Judge George B. Harris limited relevance to the current case. The heated exchange interrupted by excusing the jury showed Hallinan accusing Lloyd H. Gner of lying as the government builds its case that Bridges denied Communist party membership.
