Surly, sandy-haired Mickey Orton, who has frequently been accused of Communist sympathies, had the support of few labor leaders last week. Best he could produce was a telegram from Harry Bridges, West Coast longshoremen's chief, who was in the midst of a deportation hearing on charges of being a Communist himself.
