Over the Wire

(April 11 -- by the United Press)

WASHINGTON -- Sen. H. Styles Bridges of New Hampshire, a candidate for the Republican Presidential nomination, today precipitated bitter Senate debate by charging Attorney-General Robert H. Jackson with protecting Communists.

Bridges assailed the newest Cabinet member particularly for dropping charges against 17 Detroit residents charged with recruiting soldiers for the Spanish Loyalist Government in connection with the late Spanish civil war, while prosecuting charges against 17 members of the allegedly fascistic Christian Front in New York.
