 Frankly answering my questions as to his attitude toward labor, he pointed out that in the course of every legisla, i've program. questions always arise which may benefit a special group, but which may be deterimental to all Of the people
 It is the responsibility of the those elected to office to represent the bes. interests of the largest num6e. Of these whom he repre- sents.' he emphasized.
 Reiter8ting his stand toward la DOT he said:
 For many years l have known that there has been a great infltra- tion into our labor unions by radi- cal left-Wingers, by Communists and by subversiVe interests who do not have the best interests of the WoFKln9 man at heart.
 What the common man of Amer ica must guard against. with all his strength, is to keep any one small group from gaining control of eihter political party in such a way that a constant threat of withdrawal or recrimination against the party will cause the party to follow the ideas and doctrines of that minority group.
 We have seen just such things happening in the United States in the past six or eight years. In to- days paper, note that the C1.O. is now attempting to purge it's unions of Communists. This should have been done long ago and it should start with the top leadership instead of at the bottom.
