Bridges Freed on Bail by Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals
The Ninth Circuit ordered CIO longshore leader Harry Bridges released on bail after reversing a federal ruling revoking his $25,000 bond. Bridges was convicted in 1945 for lying about Communist affiliation to gain citizenship and has faced later appeals as prosecutors argued he posed a national security risk.
