PAC Is Sinister Force
In Politics, Byrd Says
AT Arlington Rally

Declaring peace between manage
ment and labor Is one of the greatest
problems facing America, Senator
Byrd, Democrat, of Virginia, last
night charged that the CIO Political
Action Committee is the most sinis-
ter political organization in the
country"
Speaking at a Byrd-Smith rally
at Washington-Lee High School in
Arlington, Senator Byrd told an
audience of 1,500 that a few labor
leaders have gained power which,
in some cases, is greater than that
Of the Federal Government.

and collective bargaining, but added
that labor trouble had it's inception
in the passage of the Wagner Act
which gave special privileges to
unions"

Senator Byrd said, There's man
who claims to be a specialist in
fertilizer and he blames me for the
blue mold on tobacco" He added
that recent investigation revealed
there is no blue mold on tobacco
this year.
In reply to a question recently
asked by Mr.. Green concerning the
price Senator Byrd received for ap-
pies sold to the United States and
British governments, the Virginia
Senator said he had not received
one dollar" for the sale of any ap-
Piles to either Government.
Representative Smith, another
speaker, said he and Senator Byrd
were at a disadvantage in the cam
paign because they are occupied full
time with some of the mcst vital
legislation in the country's history
while opponents have ample oppor.
tunity to concentrate attacks on his
and Senator Byrd's records.
