Kenneth Bradley of Westport, na=~ tional chairman of the Young Re- publicans, criticized last night what he said was a fault-finding attitude toward the Republican party on the part of United States Representative Hamilton Pish of New York. “At & recent dinner in New York City Representative Fish took occa- | sion to criticize National Chairman John Hamilton as an impossible re- organization leader,” Bradley said in & statement prepared for delivery at & meeting of the Conneticut Young Republicans’ Legislative Committee. “Mr. Fish,” Bradley asserted, “is only continuing his pre-campaign at- titude' of ecriticizing the Republican party and the Republican leaders. “A sound plan of action, honestly championed, -would accomplish many of the things about which he talks, Attacks upon members of our own organization accomplish none of them. There are too many Republicans like Mr. Fish who talk about the faults of the Republican party but never do anything about them.” —_— The Danish historian Troels Fred- erik Troels-Lund was born in Copen- hagen in 1840.
