Lewis Seen Pointing
lo Elections Rather
Than Labor Peace
• Campaign Results
Viewed as Gauge
Of C. I. 0. Strength
>7 the Auoclated Preu.
Despite John L. Lewis’ restate
ment of his ideas for labor peace,
associates in the C. I. O. expressed
the belief today that his 1940 plans
centered on the presidential cam
paign rather than union with the
American Federation of Labor.
The boss of the C. I. O., the
United Mine Workers and Labor’s
Non-Partisan League is known to
be vitally interested in political and
economic issues wrapped up in the
party platforms — taxes, domestic
economy, foreign policy, and unem
ployment relief.
His proposal, which Mr. Lewis
said would result in immediate labor
peace, was made Saturday, embody
ing the suggestion that the C. I. O.
and the A. F. L. vote in convention
March 15 on the question;
“Resolved, that the C. I. O. and
all of its units and all of its mem
bership this day became a part of
.the A. F. ..
The response of William Green,
A. F. L. president, was that Mr.
Lewis should make any "serious
proposals” to the joint A. F. L.
C. I. O. Peace Committee created
early in 1939. The committee has
been quiescent lately.
rrevious proposals Turned Down.
. A. P.' L. leaders turned down
similar proposals from Mr. Lewis
previously on the ground that con
flicts between rival unions in
the same field—such as maritime
workers, transport workers, electrical
workers and lumber workers—first
should be ironed out at the con
ference table by mergers or by agree
ments over jurisdiction.
As a result, there was little ex
pectation in Washington that Mr.
Lewis’ suggestion would bring im
mediate results.
In the political field, the C. I. O.
leader has behind him an ample
treasury and a considerable labor
union following with which to test
his known theory that political ac
tion on the year’s big national ques
tions is more important right now
than an agreement on labor peace.
Test of Strength.
Mr. Lewis' participation in the
campaign on a large scale probably
will determine whether he can de
liver a labor vote of decisive pro
portions.
He predicted at a recent conven
tion of the United Mine Workers
that President Roosevelt was headed
for “ignominious defeat” if he ran
tor a third term.
Within the Lewis organization
some men forecast that the C. I. O.
rank and file would support Mr.
Roosevelt for a third term. Even in
the miners’ convention there was
vocal support for the President.
The A. P. L.’s Machinist Union has
contended Mr. Lewis could not de
liver the vote of his own union, let
alone the vote of the labor move
ment. i

Lincoln Asked a Curl
Instead of Kissing
Baby, Recalls Man, 84
Br tbe Associated Press.
PITTSBURGH, Feb. 12—A
good campaigner, Abraham Lin
coln was “no baby kisser,” 84
year-old Frank M. Sperry re
calls.
Mr. Sperry said that at the
age of 5 his mother took him to
Springfield, 111., where the
“Great Emancipator” was cam
paigning. Mr. Sperry added:
"He was no baby kisser, but
he was a good politician. He
was terribly large and ugly, and
I was scared until he spoke. He
asked me if he might have one
of my curls, and I told him he
could take them all.”

and hero of the Squalus disaster,

submarine Squalus last May. He
was an assistant in charge of the
divers at the rescue scene and
did considerable diving himself.
Before assuming command of the
Sealion, Lt. Morrison had been sta
tioned at New London, Conn. Since
then his wife, Mrs. Dmcilla Mor
rison, has been making her home
with Her parents, Mr. and Mrs.

'Brotherhood Week'
Is Indorsed by
Four Senators,
Notional Conference
Of Christians and Jews
Sponsors Observance
Four Senators are among those
who have heartily indorsed "broth
erhood week,” to be observed Feb
ruary 18 to 35, under auspices of the
National Conference of Christians
and Jews. ‘
The four, Senators Vandenberg of
Michigan, Tydings of Maryland,
and Walsh and Lodge of Massa
chusetts, praised the observance not
only for its value in bringing about
a better understanding among those
of different religious creeds as well
as among races, but also as an aid
toward upholding the principles of
freedom and tolerance upon which
this Nation was founded.
"The maintenance of civil and
religious liberty in the United States
is completely prerequisite to the
maintenance of our free institu
tions,” said Senator Vandenberg,
adding: "The vice of racial and re
ligious faction is utterly fatal to the
spirit of the Constitution. Every
emphasis that can be put upon this
matter is a service to America and
her free destiny in a world that is
torn apart by hatreds.”
In indorsing the Week Senator
Tydings said:
"The objectives of Brotherhood
Week, to bring into closer under
standing and fellowship Christians
and Jews, are worthy in every
respect. This country, composed
of all races, creeds and nationali
ties, can only live so long as its
component parts practice tolerance
and mutual helpfulness to each
other. All movements designed to
encourage and Increase such an
attitude serve the Nation and make
us all realize that the United States
of America, with its fine history,
. traditions and civilization, belongs
to us all, and we should all work
together to preserve it.”
"The racial, religious and class
persecutidns. and fri|htful cruel
ties elsewhere in the world today,
of which we are witnesses, should
give us quickened realization of
the religious and civil liberty which
we in the United' States possess,
and of the essential solidarity of
the American people,” Senator
Walsh said. "The annual observ
ance of Brotherhood Week, Jointly
sponsored by men and women of
every race and creed, takes on
greater importance and deeper sig
nificance this year than ever be
fore. It is both a symbol of our
common interests and priceless
heritage, and a reminder that we
owe it to ourselves as well as to
our fellow citizens to make the
brotherhood of man our practice
as well as our precept," continued
Senator Walsh.
Senator Lodge said:
“I can enthusiastically Indorse
the aiin of emphasizing the essen
tial solidarity of the American peo
ple. Ours is a land tof religious
freedom and racial tolerance, in
which all Americans receive rec
ognition on their merits. I wish
you success in making this great
truth ever more real.”
