The Waterbury Democrat., 1936-07-28

Washington, July % = No man has ever been denied the presidency because of his uncleB occupation.
 The effort of Pennsylvania Demo- crats to strike at Governor All Lail" don by publicizing the fact that his uncle, William T. Mossrlarl, is Q lobe byist for the Anti-labor Jones and Loughlin Steel Corporation can hardly Dc expected to switch many votes.
 Even if 1t is proved, aS charged, that Mossman worked effectively against relief and social security measures in the Pennsylvania legis. lature, no fair.ninded person will blame the Kansas governor for that.
 But the attack is . prelude, never theless, to 6 concerted New Deal ef- fort to picture Landorl as c pal or tool of the "big interests"
 One phase of this attempt will
 come in connection with Lan-
 dOn's anticipated early campaign speech at hls birthplace, Wes MIddIesex, Mercer County, Pa.
 Cercer County Is in the cOns EressIonaI district of Congress- man Dennis J. Driscoll, who, in the famous "Elmer" incident, first revealed that electric power c0cs panIes were causing bales of fake telegrnmS to be sent to Congress against the Wheeler sRaybuFn holding company bill
 Power companies have joined with Joe drundyB Pennsylvania Maius facturerS Association in the effort to beat Drlscoll this year and dem. ocratS will use the expected Lafl" don rally to try to the republican candidate in with the power inter- eSts and the effoft to lick Driscoll.
 
 Roper Looks After Friends
 Perhaps Secretary of Commerce Daniel c. Roper is more helpful to the president than are the other cabinet members. Or perhaps not.
 Cabinet members and others have been making suggestions or recon. mendations for membership on the Maritime Authority, whose job VIII be to build Up and supervise the American merchant marine. Hardly anyone suggested more than i've names.
 But Uncle Dan submitted 11S names! Whether any of them were underlined or asterisked isn't known. But It'S understood that the secretary had told qulte . number of people that he would b0 glad to mention them to the pres. dent for such c job and he seems tO have kept hIs promises.
 Labor Bitterness Barred
 Evidence of the bitterness of inc ternal disSeenSion in organized ias bor was provided during the recent. ly settled strike of the United Electrical and Radio Workers, c new industrial union, ct the RCA plant in Camden, N J.
 The International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers, c. craft union represented on Che A. '. Of l.. executive council, had at least 90 representatives In Camden, seeking to break the strike.
 Just before the waIk0ut, PFcsIs dent William Green of the 4. Y. of l.. telephOned David BarnOff Of RIGA and urged him tO make no agreement with the strikers.
 John L. Lewis and the Commit tee for Industrial Organization sacked the UERW secretly, bHt not openly, preferring not to get into Q fight with the 1DEW while under charges of "dual unio1iSfn. |" But at the end Lewis went to Cafns den and negotiated c settlement for the strikers.
 Nazis on Best Behavior
 ApropoS of National Laugh Week" in Germany in connection with the olympic games in Berlin, reports from usually reliable for" eign sources say that Nazis are de. laying both further acts of aggreB. sion across German borders and q new terror drive against Jews until after the games are over.
 Herr 0oering publicly said c while ago that the Olympics must be con. Sidered c great opportunity for Ger. man Nazi propaganda. The word has porcolated around that nothing will happne until after the Olympics", but then the persecution of Jews iS expected to resume.
 This prediction is presented with every hoype that it's cockeyed. Copyright 1030, NEA Service, Incl
