A former ''baby Member" Of

He Is Representative Fred A.

In the few years he has been
in Washington, the youthful legis-

There is a hot political fight on
in both Republican and Demo.

nomination. Among the con-
testants is former Representative
Percy Stewart, who was beaten
for the Senate by w. Warren Bar

A staunch advocate Of the

The automobile manufacturers,

allowable maximums at 48 hours

minimum wage rates of 40 to 43
cents an hour. From these wage
scales they exempted appren-

and facilities for production.
Green also demanded that all

up by the NRA.
On the problem of collective
