Tobin and Union Face
100000 Suit Over

Naval Officers Charge
Teomsters' Poper Sought
To Hurt Their Reputation

Libel suits totaling $400, 900
against the AFL Teamsters' Union
and its president, Daniel J. Tobin.
were on file today in District Court

Battle of the Statler."
The suits were filed for 1t. Ran
dolph Dickins, jr., and 1t. Comdr.
James H. Suddeth by their attor-
ney, Thomas C. Bradley. Each

the union and Mr.. Tobin on the
basis of an article published in the
November issue of the international
Teamster, organ of the Interna-
tional Brotherhood of Teamsters,
Chauffeurs, Warehousemen and
Helpers.
The Navy officers charge, in their
suits, that they we're libeled by the
accusation of numerous acts of
misconduct in the article. Also pub
lished in the paper were several
affidavits repeatedly made by union
members and accusing the ofncers
of rowdyism.
The purpose in publishing the
articles, the suits said, was Ito de-
stroy the good name and reputa-
ton" of the defendants and Ito in
huence the election Of the present
incumbent in the Office OF Presi-
dent of the United States to another
term in the same ofnce."
The officers said in their suits
that If the charges published against
them in the union paper were true,
they would be subject to court
martial.
The fracas took place in the
Statler Hotel after President Roose-
welt had addressed a dinner of the
Teamsters' Union. Later, the Sen
ate Campaign Expenditures Com
mittee began an investigation and
collected affidavits, but dropped the
matter when it decided it had nc
jurisdiction.

Outside Chance Given
Gov. Dewey 10 Win
In Baltimore
! Tide Is Believed Turned
In Democratic Stronghold
By Several Happenings
BY WILL p. KENNEDY.
Star Staff Correspondent.


BALTIMORE, Md, Nov. 4.-Sur-
prisingly, Gov. Thomas E. Dewey
has an outside chance to carry this
Democratic stronghold on Tuesday,
and II he does he is sure OF Mary
lands eight electoral votes.
Several things seem to have
turned the tide:
Cd Gov. Dewey's invitation at q
rally here on Thursday to dissatis-
ned Democrats to cast their protest
vote with the Republicans.
co An editorial in yesterdays
Catholic Review, "official organ OF
the archdiocese of Baltimore and
Washington" warning against in
filtration of Communism in Balti-
more shipyards and war plants.
CD The unfortunate" broadcast
from New York Thursday, quoting
the Commonweal, as IAN official
Catholic organ" which had white
washed Sidney Hillman from Com
munistic tendencies, was heard by
many Catholics who called up their
pastors to ask if the Commonweal
was an "offlcial organ" of the church
and were told it was not.
Ickes Visit Deplored.
% The chance that brings Secre-
tary Ickes to Baltimore in the midst
of this religious irritation, and which
has provoked Democratic leaders to
deplore the fact that some of the
Presidents most unpopular advisers
are being employed dangerously"
in the closing days of the campaign.
60 A bitter feeling among Balti-
more's large Italian population
against the administration.
co There has been no real. ear
nest, whole-hearted campaign for
the head Of the ticket" in Balti-
more.
CD The Declaration of Inten-
ton" Act, passed in 1908 as DEM
ocratic measure, which is operating
against the Democratic presiden-
tial candidate, since a smaller per-
centage of the Political Action Com
mittee supporters, even though they
have paid their "dollar-a head" tax
are able to vote in Maryland.
Predictions on Vote.
Predictions of political leaders of
both parties regarding Baltimore's
vote are as follows:
State Senator William Curran-
Roosevelt should carry by 25,000"
Republican Campaign Manager
Galen L. Tait-"Dewey will probably
carry Baltimore City"
Representative Thomas A. Dale
sandro. Sd congressional district
The President will carry the city
by $4,000 and the State by 10000"
George H. Fallon, House candidate
in the 4th district - President
Roosevelt will probably carry the
city by 250oO."
Gov. O'Conor told political leaders
several days ago that he expects the
President to win in Baltimore by
better than 10000"
Republican Mayor Theodore r.
McKeldin, who carried Baltimore by
20,251, realizes that he won that
large vote by personal appeals in
strictly local issues, but believes the
same party trends and interests of
the voters should give Gov. Dewey
q majority.
