The CIO news. (Cumberland, Md.) 1942-????, 1944-06-19

(60u VI NAiiAhs anu = ca BuoOu vi
Mich.) tried literally to turn 1t
into q court trial, with sharp
cross-questioning of Hillman in the
manner Of the best hardboiled
prosecuting attorney.
Ball tried to make 1t into a
lynching by demanding the right
TO question the witness first and
let him make his statement last.
Hillman wasn't having any,
however. and insisted on making
his own statement before the
questioning. Then, despite the
fact that Ball claimed he had
ian extremely important" meet
ing In Is minutes, he stayed for
an hour and q half.
Opening his testimony, Hillman
assured the Senators that CIO-PAC
has no purge list" of Congressman
marked down for defeat, as has
been widely reported in the news
papers. PAC, he said, considers
the issues and the way Congress
men act on the issues, and Is COM
pletely non-partisan in studying
them.
Our committee Is a non-partisan
organization" he said. I'VE have
frequently reiterated our purpose
to abstain from and discourage any
move in the direction of establish
ing a third party at this time.
"Nor are we an appendage OF
either major political party. We
are prepared to and do give our
support to candidates on the basis
of their records, without regard
to party labels"
Main detectives Of the PAC,
Hillman said, are to support
President Roosevelt for a fourth
term, to work for a program of
full employment now and after
the war, and for world unity and
cooperation after victory is won.
This program requires the larg-
est possible number of voters in the
1914 election, he added, and can
only be achieved that way since
a large vote Is always progress
sive vote.
I'VE do not think 1t sufficient to
bring issues to the attention OF
the people," he said. 1--WE also
believe 1t to be one Of our impor-
tant functions to show people what
they can do about these issues
how they can participate in decid-
ing them.
I'VE have unshakeable conf
dence In the good sense and
sound Judgment of the American
people. We believe that the de-
mocratic process works most eff

McDiarmid, Ann Gray

John McDiarmid took the Gov
'ernment tennis crown with no trou-
BILE at all yesterday, thoroughly
whipping second-seeded 1t. John
Curtiss. 60, 60, on the East Po-
tomac Park courts.
Curtiss earlier won the holdover
semifinal set from Phil Neff, 60
after taking the first set Saturday
by the same score and dropping the
second, 3-6. Saturdays play was
halted by darkness.
McDiarmid had an easier time OF
1t with Curtiss than he did with 1t
Hill Saturday, in spite of the fact
that Curtiss was expected to offer
strong opposition. In 1896 the
champ was ranked sixth nationally
and his form yesterday was nearer
to his old style than in any of his
other matches. His all-around
play was far superior to Curtiss'.
Mrs. Ann Gray won her third
consecutive District title by easily
defeating Evelyn Rose of California
In straight 61 sets. Earlier, Mrs.
Gray took her semifinal match from
Pearl Mccoy by the same scores.

DEBATE IN
SENATE ON
VOTE BILL
Senator Charges Measure
Is "Usurpdtion" Of
States Rights

WASHINGTON, Jan. Ex-senator
D. Millikin, Republican of Colorado,
told the Senate if Congress over
rides states constitutional rights in
the prescribed method for electing
presidential electors, it will be act
ing as "a revolutionary usurper."
The Senator challenged the con-
tention of supporters of the Adj
ministration's service vote bill that
Congress has wartime powers to set
aside states authority over cleo
tons and asserted if it were true,
Congress could depose the Presi-
dent by legislative action"
Millikin took the floor on the
fourth day of the debate on the
measure Roosevelt endorses which
would establish a Federal war bal
lot OH which members of the armed
forces at home and aboard could
vote for the President, Vice-Presi-
dent, Senators and Congressman by
writing in the name of the can
didate by merely designating the
party of his choice.
The Senators tried to hurry the
vote as at least Is members are
leaving after today's session to at
tend the late Senator Van Mugs
