The defeat of Representative Jaughter for the Democratic nomination was widely hailed at the time as a tribute to the President’s influence, calculated to raise his then waning political prestige. As a matter of fact, it was the Pendergast Kansas City machine that provided the needed support for the Truman candidate. To say the least it showed poor political judgment for the President to adver ise his former connections with a corrupt local organiza tion by teaming up with it to compass the downfall of a Congressman who had consistently opposed Ad- ministration pelicies. Having done so, it was inevitable that the President’s reputation would suffer if the | local machine resorted to fraud to insure the success of his candidate.

Lewis which carried an inferential promise of sup- port in 1948. Here is the happened Aiter President Truman's “State of the Union” message last Janu ary proposing moderate changes the Wagner Labor Act, AFL Presi- dent William Green issued a stat ment approving the labor of Truman’s speech But despite this, the AFL council meeting in Miami a few days later reversed Green, and passed a reso- Jution vigorously denouncing Tru- man's ideas. It was no secret that Lewis wrote this AFL denunciation Later when Minnesota's Se or Joe Ball and Ohio’s Senator Taft went much further than Truman with their anti-labor bills, John L. Lewis and his pal. Big Bill Hutche- son, head of the Carpenter’s Union, paid Taft a secret visit, warning him that as a candidate for the Presidency, he could not afford to be too anti-labor. Taft, they report- ed to iriends later, seemed to agree. “Suppose we get together after th hearings on labor lgislation aie over,” Taft was reporied as saying ‘Ihen we can arrive mutually advice labor background of what pass: ‘must destroy Taft Several weeks later when it be- came clear that the Taft-Hartley Bill had a fair chauace of passing, Lewis and Hutcheson sent word to Dewey urging him to stay on the tence regarding the Taft-Hartley Bill. Lewis warned that if Dewey supported the bill he could ke cut- ting his own throat with labor; and the implication was that if he kept quiet Dewey might have a gcod chance of gathering 1abor support Note — Lewis’ acvice may have been superfluous, since Dewey has| made it a general point not to issue | statements regarding Washington | controversies.

House economy, they conclude, may save dollars but will lose votes. The most significant remark was dropped by poweriul GOP policy maker Bob Taft in a private con- ersation with close colleagues. “I think the House’s 32 percent cut is too much” he revealed. “I would ten percent is about right Another backstage discussion took place between Democrs Senator Dick Russel! of Georgia and Re- publican George Aiken of Vermont “One thing I won't compromise on,” declared Russell who is one of the farmers’ most vigorous Senate champions, “is soil conservation. If the committee doesn’t restore it in full, T can promise a tremendous fight on the floor.” He predicted that the would back him solidly “All except Har Byrd. I'm not sure about Byrd,” Russell added “You can count on at least 16 Republican votes,” interjected Aik- en. It is general Senate opinion that the bill will be contested item by item on the Senate floor unless the Appropriations Committee reduces the House cuts by at least 17 per- cent, Rather than risk their tradi- tional support in midwest farming areas, Republican leaders are likely to agree to healthy restorations. say Democrats on labor and other matters. As Sul- livan presented Blythe to Truman, he remarked: “Joe here, had a lot of things on his chest today, Mr. President, but I think you'll be glad to know that ke got them all off at a meeting before we came here.” Blythe lcoked daggers at Sulli- van for a moment, but his face slowly creased into an ear-to-ear grin. “Well, now,” he drawled, “you've gone and messed up a good speech I was about to deliver.” (COPYRiGHT, 194, BELL SYNDICATE.
