Continued from Page One) the southern Democratic leaders, because of their length of service in the Senate and in the House, occupy the most important posi- tiOns in those legislative bodies.
 ''If the majority party-which is now the Democratic Party-lOses control of the House in the elec- ton in l946, all those top-notch men, including Sam Rayburn, speaker of the House-fOr whom l have the very highest regard and who is not reactionary but friend ly to labor and to the administra- tiOn-men like him will lose their positions.
 'They will practically lose control of all the committees. And there is more power in the control of some of those important committees than there Is sometimes in the office of President.
 For instance, Senator George would lose the chairmanship of the finance committee, one of the most important committees in the Senate, if there were a majority of Republi- cans controlling the United States Senate.
 Senator George has always been, in my opinion, clear-headed, honest and sincere, although sometimes he has differed with both President Roosevelt and President Truman.
 SERIOUS LOSS
 Perhaps if I were in his place I would also differ with them. I am not going into his record, but it would be a serious loss to labor if men of his type were deposed as chairmen of those important commit tees and put in the minority, instead of being as they are now and have been since 1o33, in the majority and leading the nation as chairmen of all important committees.
 s'But that's what it may come to in the Congress, because all the congressman will have to stand for election in November, l046, but only One-third of the senators are up for election. Some of them down there in top places think la- bor will have to support Truman and the Democratic candidates, that they have no place else to go.
 "As friend of the President, who helped to elect him, believe that it is a great mistake to pursue such thinking. If labor is so thoroughly disgusted and disappointed-as it well may be-that next year they stay away from the polls, you can rest as sured that the Democratic majority in the House will not only be sub stantially reduced, but it may be elim- mated

The air-supplied British column,

AS a base of operations, Manda-

yesterday by huge landslide

But Social Activity Is Banned

Wilmington best known young
peoples group, the two-day old
Goodwin threesome, was present
