The national political front as party
chieftains see it midway between the
1914 and 1916 elections:
!. The Republicans are striving to
agree on an affirmative interim" plat
form on which congressional and guber-
material candidates can stand next No
vember.
They hope to complete it-at least in
rough draft-in time for consideration
at the special meeting of the party's
national committee in Chicago De-
cember 7-8.
2. The Democrats are bending every
effort to see that the 21-point program
offered by President Truman Septem-
Der does not bog down in Congress.
?. Some high in the councils of the
party want a presidential administra-
tive assistant named to act as liaison
with Democrats in the Senate and
House. James M. Byrnes served Frank
lin D. Roosevelt in. this capacity.
If such an aide is appointed he would
help cabinet officers and Reconversion
Chief John w. Snyder keep the Tru-
man program rolling in Congress.
Debate Truman as Issue.
Republicans have begun to talk about
one-third of the Senate and "a Gov
ernors will be elected then. Issues
they are discussing include Pearl Har-
bor, taxes, spending, foreign loans, re-
conversion and audit" of the New Deal.
There is disagreement among Repub-
1cans whether to make Truman the
individual, as well as his program, a
talking point. Some assert he is no
different from his predecessor and hence
is very much an issue. Others say Mr.
Truman Is not a candidate next year,
SO why concentrate fire on him and
force Democratic forces to line up be-
hind him?
come Pearl Harbor as an issue. They
are challenging the opposition party to
come out with other issues Most Dem
ocrats feel the elections next year will
hinge on domestic economy questions
how much unemployment there is when
the voters go to the polls, how returning
veterans are treated.
They recognize the job of retaining
control of Congress, especially the
House, will be much easier if employ
ment is high; that if many are jobless
the tendency will be to kick the "ins"
out.
Both Parties Optimistic.
Politicians are not looking for any
1916 indicators in next Tuesdays scat
tered off-year municipal and county
elections. There are two special con-
gressional elections to fill vacancies in
seats formerly held by Republicans. But
there will be only one contest-in the
New Jersey 4th district. Democrats are
offering no candidate in the Illinois oath.
Only one Governor is being elected,
and he is being chosen in the Demo-
cratic stronghold of Virginia.
Leaders of neither party, however. are
pessimistic over their propects for next
year.
Republicans appear optimistic for two
reasons: ID The opposition usually picks
up seats in nonpresidential election
years, and CD the party made consider
able gains in Congress and the State
capitols during the war.
Republicans now have 80 Senators as
against % on December Z, 1941; 189
Evening star., 1945-11-04
By Harold J. Laski,

Chairman of the British Labor Party.
LONDON.-Two matters this week
have been of outstanding interest The
debate on housing gave the Commons
Its first view of that eminent rebel,
Aneurin Bevan (Health Minister, as
poacher turned game keeper; and the
dockers' strike still continues on it's con-
fused and angry path.
Bevan secured one of those resound-
Ing parliamentary triumphs that are the
minister's dream. He completely turned
the tables on his critics. He set the
whole problem in its proper perspective
as the outcome not merely of the war,
but also, and chiefly, of a generation
of neglect by successive tory govern
ments. He exposed the breakdown of
all the hopes built on the prefabricated
house, which he put firmly on one side
for permanent houses which the work.
ers can afford to rent. He announced
that the governmental ordnance fac
tories are to be converted to the manu-
facture Of housing equipment and will,
on this basis, employ some 10000 men.
Bevan foreshadowed in the immediate
future land acquisition bill which will
enable local authorities to enter on land
approved for houses without waiting for
the long and hideous negotiations on
price to be completed, with all the COM
phcations OF appeal to the courts. He
refused, unlike his predecessors, to
pledge himself to an annual building
figure, but promised instead monthly
progress report. What the house liked
especially was his insistence that he had
all the necessary machinery for admin
lstration, that the full responsibility was
his and that, If he failed, it was upon
him, and only upon him, that the blame
must be fixed.
Tories Left Confused.
It was all done with nerve and a
Wit and power Of phrase which made
the government benches actually rock
with laughter and roar with cheers. The
tories, who had hoped that this would
be the beginning of real opposition, sat
there, confused and unhappy, while
Bevan scored his points with precision
that left no room for doubt of where he
stood.
The. dock strike is a complicated af-
fair which points to big principles clearly
needing close and careful examination.
It is unofficial, and therefore the strikers
receive no strike-pay from the union.
It is run by unofficial committees which
have SO far retained the almost unani-
nous support of the men. Though troops
are unloading the foodships at Mersey-
side and London-the two chief centers
of the strike-there is not sign Of dis
order.

1044's 100 Close Districts
Studied by Party Chiefs
Democrats Confident They Can Hold Senate
Majority, but, Like COP, They Will Con.
centrate on House Seats Narrowly Won
By d. HaroidOliver

Ola OtVer
Representatives as against 164, and %
Governors as against 20.
Democrats say they will easily keep
control of the Senate. The opposition
will need to pick up an additional 10
seats to get majority. Democrats also
believe they can prevent the Repub-
licans from winning the 20 more House
seats the COP would need for a House
majority.
Concentrate on Close Area.
Both parties will concentrate in 1946
on the approximately 100 districts
where elections were decided by close
votes in 1914. In these contests the
Democratic nominees won by $4,000
votes or less in a districts and carried
three at-large races by less than 10 per
cent of the vote. Republicans won by
$4,000 or less in 81 districts and two at
large places by less than 10 per cent.
At the suggestion of Representative
Bender, Republican. of Ohio and others,
National Chairman Herbert Brownell,
jr., of the COP National Committee will
hold further regional meetings with
National Committee members and State
chairmen on how to regain industrial
districts so long held by the Democrats
Such meetings have already been
held in Chicago, New York, Salt Lake
City and Des Moines
The Democrats are making intensive
studies of those 100 districts. They
want to know how they can get out
big vote in them. One way of doing
this, they believe, is to elect go-getting
county chairmen.
Representative Halleck of Indiana,
chairman of the Republican Congress
sional Campaign Committee, heads a
subcommittee of the House Republican
Steering Committee which is working
on the interim" platform.
He says this is one way to meet the
suggestion of Brownell that the party
not wait for its national convention to
formulate an affirmative legislative pro-
gram. Brownell contends that swiftly
moving events in this modern age re-
quire the "streamlining" of present
machinery.
Fundamental Program Planned.
"a fundamental program will be pre-
sented." Halleck says. I'VE are gather
ing suggestions from persons in and out
of Congress. Replies are still coming
in"
There is no similar group working in
the Senate. But there are indications
that Senator Taft of Ohio and others on
his Republican Steering Committee in
that body may later sit In with the Hal
leck Subcommittee
Halleck, incidentally, is one of those
who believes the party should go about
on the Truman issue"
There is growing conviction on the
part of Republicans in the House and,
I am quite sure, throughout the coun-
try" he asserts, that the Truman ad-
ministration is nothing but an extension
of the Roosevelt New Deal"
1t was comment by Halleck and some
others on the Truman message that
prompted Democratic Chairman Robert
E. Hannegan to assert that the Repub-
hcans are returning to "old-fashioned
conservatism"
The Democratic campaign next year.
added Hannegan in the same retort, will
be "clear-cut, straightforward battle
against reaction"

PARLIAMENT Halls BEVAN

What the men seek are the terms
which, yesterday, the union put forward
on their behalf to the joint council of
the dock industry. They want 4o-hour
week, holidays with pay, and guaran-
teed wage of 25 shillings ($4.50) a day.
At the joint council, the employers
offered 16 shillings, a weeks holiday with
pay, and reference of the weekly hours
to the government whose views on wage
policy they would seek to obtain. But
they then refused to continue any nego-
tiations until the men were back at
work. While it is not accurate to say
that We stand where we stood when
the strike began, it is, think, true to
say that no real progress has been made
toward clearing up the essential issues
involved.
Partly, the strike is the work of very
tired men who were paid badly before
the war, got very considerable advances
during the war mainly through over
time thousands of them worked months
on end for go to 10 hours week. and
now find, first, that the cut in overtime
makes their margin for living pretty
narrow, and, second, that it is far from
easy to do their work on the ration they
now receive. Partly, the strike is due to
the fact that the big amalgamations in
the unions involved have resulted in
Capitalization of officials in London
which makes for good deal of remote
ness between the leaders of the union
and the rank and file.
Union growth has not been suffi-
ciently accompanied by the develop
ment of intermediate institutions be-
tween the center and the circumference
which leaves the man satisfied that
their problems are really understood at
headquarters, or handled there with the
same sense of urgency and dispatch
felt by the men themselves.
Union Leaders Tired.
Another cause is, undoubtedly, the de-
gree to which the war has led the Gov
ernment first. to encroach upon func-
tions which the unions ought them-
selves to fulfil. and, second, to use the
union leaders for q great number Of
public duties which have left them also
fatigued men who have often done two
mems work each day and need q rest,
There is, also, the special complexity
in this strike that the general secretary
ship of the Transport and General Work
ers' Union is vacant through the retire.
ment of Ernest Bevin. and that his nat
ural successor. the present acting secre-
tary. is opposed by the one Communist
member of the transport executive. The
