MurrOycon MoIxe or Kill Third Party
 AmoFleoR Reds
 Depend on clo's
 Unions Co Win

waShlneon, Nov le--tup)-cf.o. President Philip Murrays efforts to drive fellow travellers from power m cfo, unions threatened today to wreck Communist plans for a new popularsfront third party,
 American Communists placed the powerful Ct,o. organizations in inc duStrlal states high on their list of elements to put bone and muscle ln their national political program. They intended the Nov 8 general election to be the last ln which they would tag along with the Demo. cratic Party endorsing It's candi. dates and campaigning against lts political opponents.
 Eugene Dennls. general secretary of the Communist Party of the United states. laid the third party program before the Communist na- uonalacommlttee In a closed meet. ing last July. The text Of his re. port has been published in the Communist monthly pamphlet, Pc. littcal Affairs. He enlarged on the third party program over the week end in an interview published by the Sunday Worker. Communist organ published in New York.
 The Communist Party" Dennis told the Worker, will promote a progressive realivnment leading to a new mass peoples party. Therein lies the way to counteract and re. verse the recent Republican cleo. toral victory"
 Dennis new mass party would be built around the American Labor Party in New York State. The ALP. cast more than 4SO. 600 votes in this months general election. For one of their two state wide candidates in New York, the Com muniSts cast approximately e0,00O votes.
 But the Communists have no such readylmade party nor strength outside New York State. Elsewhere they would be dependent on com binations with other left wing groups. They have picked Murray's c1o, the Political Action Commit tee, the National Citizens Political Action Committee and the Inde- pendent Citizens Committee and a few others for combining purposes.
 The Tndipendent Citizens Com mittee is the organization of which Harold L. 1ckes was executive di- rector until his resignation after the Nov. 5 general election. fckes baked al some Of his committees party line announcements.
 If Murray boots Communists out Of C1o. positions of power and for- bids MoScow-inclined area councils Of the CI.O. to endorse Communist political policies, and third party combination of the c.I.O. with the Communists would be close to im- possible. Without the C1.O., the Communists might set up a third party but outside New York State it would be a puny outfit.
