In this connection, Roose- velt friends say that it was be- cause FDR wouldn't make Lewis his vice-presidential running mate that John L. jumped to the GOP. TOP DOG LEWIS Lewis has seriously discussed his plan with several AFL big shots, :ncluding President Bill Green, and intends to place it before the Chi- cago convention. If his political committee is approved—and there is every indication it will be—John L. will then be top dog of Ameri- can labor. Lewis is counting on several in- 1luential executive council members to support him, among them Big Bill Hutcheson, boss of the carpen- ters, who once e »d in a fist fight with Lewis at an AFL con- wention, and George Harrison, vresident of the railway clerks, The project may not be given a . but its mission will simply that—namely, 10 counteract and compete with the ©10's PAC Though there will be very little, me fter AFL convention, Lewis has high s of swinging , action before the November elections.

W0 GETS SUGAR BLAME Housewives are quite justified in peing irate over the OPA’s sugar allotment for canning this year, but sey are placing the blame on the party. Actually it is not OPA but Con- gress which should get the blame, hat happened was that last year OPA gave out special sugar coupons to housewives who put up fruits and preserves. Those who didn't do any canning got no extra ration This year, the OPA merely vali- dated two extra sugar stamps in every ration book, which meant a windfall for famililes that don't can, It also meant that housewipes who do can were shorl on sugar. The OPA knew in advance that this was not going to work out well, but they were up against the fact that Congress had slashed its funds to ribbons, forcing the firing of personnel who handled last year's sugar for canning So if you are indignant over the scareity of sugar for canning, put the blame where it belongs—on the doorstep of GOP Senators Taft of Ohio, Wherry and Butler of Nebras- ka; Congressman Hartley of New parent election of Gabriel Gonzalez Videla as Chile’s next President will be invalidated by the Chilean Con- gress CONTINUE Incidentally, there just isn't go- ing to be any improvement in the sugar situation for another six months, possibly longer. It will be at least April before sugar ration cards can be thrown away.
