The Waterbury Democrat., 1944-11-06

buC as CIl6 ALl6TlCdn eleCLOraLe goeoS to the polls, they also must elect another branch of the Gov ernment which, taken en maSse, is almost as important as the Presidency. For on the caliber of the men in Congress and their cooperation with whoever is elect ed President, depends very much the welfare of the nation dur ing the next four years.
 Most important of all, upon the men elected to Congress de- bends the chance of writing a permanent treaty of peace and setting up international machin- cry that will really make this war to end wars.
 Probably most people long ago made up their minds how they would vote for President. But a lot haven't given so much time to considering whom they would support for Congress.
 So far whatever it is worth, here are some of the Congress- men and senators, both Democrats and Republicans, whose isolation discretionary records indicate they may be dangerous when 1t comes to writing a peace; and also a list of both Republicans and Democrats likely to cooperate with any President of either party when 1t comes to the goal of peace. (No attempt is made to list those in Southern States or in other States where nomination is tanta- mount to election)
