Judge Medina On Vacation
NEW YORK AP Federal Judge Harold R Medina who presided over the nine month Communist conspiracy trial is on a long vacation. He and his wife left yesterday by automobile for an undisclosed destination and plan to return to New York City in about two weeks. He will not return to the bench in U S District Court until March. He has been busy answering thousands of letters since last month's end of the trial of eleven top U S Communist leaders who were convicted of conspiracy to advocate violent overthrow of the government and sentenced to prison terms and fines. Police investigated a reported plot to assassinate him which they said turned out to be only big shot talk by four young people.

Bridges Trial Begins Today
Longshore leader Harry Bridges goes on trial in San Francisco on perjury and conspiracy charges related to his 1945 naturalization hearing.
