ton of the increased attention be-
ing given by congress to Hillman s
political action committee.
Coincident with word from the
west coast that Representative
John Costello, Cd Calf, a member
Of the Dies committee had lost out
in the primaries, two new measures
affecting labor were introduced.
Representative Howard w. Smith,
CD Va, introduced a resolution
calling for an investigation OF cam
paign expenditures of candidates
for the house and contributions to
them by corporations and labor or
ganizations measure which he
said was aimed directly at the poll
tical action committee.
Representative Paul Shafer, CRJ
Mich, introduced a bill to amend
the Smith-Connally war disputes
act TO prohibit the organization Of
supervisory employees such as the
foremen who struck in Detroit.
Early committee action on this
measure appeared unlikely.
Some members of the house are
convinced that the CIO commit
tees work was an element in the
defeat Of Costello and another
member of the Dies committee,
Representative Joseph Starnes,
Cd Ala, who lost out in the Ala

ances to the contrary. Nothing

cause defendant LCiS de Lafayette

assume that the defendants are
bunch of harmless isolationist

acts and utterances are now of no
consequence.

If the utterances on which those

would be real cause for fear that
civil liberties were endangered.

only one step short of treason.

She told also of the color ful Spanish costumes worn by men in bull fights. Miss Porter spoke, too, of the hidden Convent of San ta Monica, which was discovered only four years ago.
 A brief meeting followed the talk with Miss Anna Skehan, president, presiding. It was announced that Quota has adopted a Chinese baby, who will be supported by the club. Miss Mary HenneSSey was named to the first womens board of directors for a program expanding women's $ activities in Waterbury.
