at q few may indicate why he thinks
the record should be suppressed.
When the first UNNRA appropria-
ton was up In January. 1914, Ma.
tional sentiment in favor OF aid te
the ravaged countries OF Europe anc
Asia was so great that only 81 votes
were cast against It, But Mr.. Curtis
joined with the isolationist element
in an unsuccessful vote to recomnii
and prevent the bill from coming
to the floor.
Stand on Reciprocal Trade.
The story was much the same In
May, ls45, when reciprocal trade
agreement legislation was up for ex-
tension. Mr.. Curtis was among those
voting to recommit the bill.
On the Breton Woods agreement
In June, 1s45, there were only 10 neg
alive votes, but again Curtis was
one OF the number who attempted
TO kill the measure by recommittal
In the domestic field Representa-
tive Curtis displayed q similar atti-
tuds. When Representative Dirksen
In the House and Senator Byrd in
the Senate sought to serve the pri-
vate mortgage loan companies by
liauidating the very successful and
useful Home Owners Loan Corp, the
Nebraska member was right there
with his vote.
When in May, 1943, the Repub-
ucans in the House voted almost az
Q body to abolish the poll tax, Rep
resentative Curtis was one OF II
who joined the Southern Democrats
In opposition to the bill.
In view of his present antilabor
proposal, it hardly need be told that
he voted for the Smith Connally bill
and to override President Roose-
velt's veto; likewise for the amend.
ment to the bill to prohibit CAM
paign contributions by labor organ
iZations.
When in June, 1943, funds were
sought for crop insurance, he sup.
ported the bill. This could have
meant a desire to help the farmers
or desire to help win the war, OF
both. But when $40, 600, 900 was asked
to extend rural elecrtification, q
measure opposed by the private
power interests, he was one OF those
voting nay.

Miss Martin Is not allied with

Regarding policy, the chain Of
events is clearer. At the national

Miss Martin publicly urged the
members to use their influence
with Governors to put qualified
women in State jobs. The party,
she suggested, would thus be helping
to let women play their deserved

Warm applause greeted this ap-

the good feeling it rather generally
