 The ConRressman went on: "While am emphatically anti- Communist. which might be the basis for such an endorsement, I am also just as emphatically anti- Fascist and my every vote and acc ton during my years in Congress has been directed toward the elim- inati0n of both Of these groups from our American way of life. Both constitute great threats to our republican form Of government in America. and both must be abhorred by every honest American citizen" :"

 Union Leaders
 Continue Mapping
 Strike SeFoeeey

Washington. June e-(UPD- Deadlocked negotiations with ship ping operators spurred C.r.O. mari time union leaders to proceed with strike plans today while a more immediate threat of A.FL. walk. outs snbsided.
 Although Labor Department offl- cials were optimistic. there still was no sign of a break in the disputes involving six CIO. unions and one independent group which have threatened to strike on the Pacific. Atlantic and Gulf Coasts a week from today.
 The Sailors Union Of the Pacific CA.F.L.D. however. accepted an of- fer to resume negotiations with West Coast ship operators at San Francisco today thus averting a threatened tie-up Of hundreds of ships in Pacific ports. More than COCO A.P.L. seamen engaged in brief work stoppages Thursday, pro- tested that their negotiations had been suspended because shipping executives were in Washington bO confer with cI.O. officials.
 AS government conciliators con. tinued their round of conferences, here was the c.I.o. picture:
 |. The National Maritime Union Council CcT.O). continuing ses. Sions which began yesterday, vent ahead with strike preparations. including plans for spending its sl000.o0o strike fund.
 2. C0nclliators called Pacific Coast management representa-. tives back into conference with the Marine Cooks and Stewards dCLOD. the Marine Engineers Beneficial Association tcI.OD and the Marine Firemen's Union (IndD.
 3. The N.M.U. and Atlantic Coast operators weTe reported standing pat and still far apart on the key issue Of working hours. West Coast waterfront employes and Harry Bridges LOngshore- men and Wareh0usegmen Union GCIOD. also were reported far Ap@fG 0o B@kGhs
 N.M.U. May Provide Key
 In the negotiations thus far, the N.M.U. dispute has been treated as the key to disputes involving all six unions.
 The basic issue in the N.M.U. case involves the unions demands for a reduction in working hours. The union asked for . basic sl. hour week at sea and a 4O-hour week in port in what t described as its final offer. The ship owners have refused to agree to a cut in the Ss-h0ur seek.
 Labor sources said Government officials had pressed the manaee- ment group for a compromise offer. That report was denied by an au- ah0ritative industry official. Union officials indicated that they were not optimistic about chances of a break unless the Government 0f- Gered q compromise or sought toI negotiate q contract wtih the union itself.

 Ssotute on Women
 Lobov Disputed

A hearing will be held in Super for Court at Hartford Tuesday in Q test case brought to determine the validity of the State statute prohibiting the employment Of women after 70 ?. N.
 Attorney Prank R. Oldum, repre- senting a waitress. restaurant and a restaurant association. seeks an injunction restraining State and city officials from enforcing the law. The show cause petition names State Labor Commissioner John ]. Egan, Deputy Commissioner Wi. liam q. Ennis. Commissioner Ed. ward Hickey Of the State Police and Police Chief Michael J. God frey Of Hartford.
 The statute was not applied dur ing the war. but the State Labor Department began enforcement early this year after Gov. Raymond F. Baldwin has ended the wartime suspension.
 Attorney Oldum claims for the plaintiffs that when Judge Edward J. Daly denied an application for a temporary injunction last Febru- ary. his decision was partly based on the belief that the defendants would agree for an early reserva- ton of the case tO the State Su- preme Court Of Errors. Later. he contends. the State and city offs cials decided they would not siipu- late and the case has remained In- active.
 The principal objections to en- f0Tcenent of the curfew law have come from owners 0f restaurants and grills. They claim they are un- able to secure sufficient men as walters and that the services Of waitresseS are needed.
 Groups 0f waltresses have also objected tO the lag. and Q State organization has been formed to oppose the statute.
