 Taking part in the meeting will be representatives of CI.Q..A.F.L., and independent unions represent ing workers in American Brass plants located in Waterbury. Tor rIngton, Ansonia, Buffalo. Detroit and New Toronto, Ont.
 The move for pay increases at American Brass plants will be part of a nationwide program affecting the brass industry. Union leaders de- clare that wage boosts are needed to meet rising living costs, and during their Kenosha sessions will seek to correlate their policies into one joint program.
 Mr. Driscoll recently announced that the M.M.S.W. hopes to win pay boosts in this area through negotia- ton, without the necessity of strike action.

The Rev. Leopold Braun of As- sumption College, Worcester, made his charge in an open letter to the American people which he signed "Administrator of Moscow. Amerd- can Catholic chaplain, leS4-t9aS."
 He said his letter was in answer to an official denial by Edwin H. Powers, national publicity director of the American Red Gross, Of charges he previously had made in speech at New Bedford Oct. 90. GA report of his speech was printed by The Democrat Nov. 0.
 Does Not Condemn Service
 Father Braun said he did not condemn the Red Gross as such but did "vehemently protest the signing away of colossal charity contributions by an organization which pretended to accept them for the relief of human suffering in Russia"
 T protest and declare" he said that the intentions of the major ity of the American people who contributed to the nationwide campaign fund of the American Red Gross were frustrated"
 Describing the Russian secret police as officially protected ban- dits and torturers of human con- science and liberty" he said they were "gorging themselves to thil day in the greatest charity scandal the world has seen for a long time"
 Tn order to save their faces dur. ing some official visit or inspection. he said, "the authorities take cars to show some blankets. surgical in' struments and a few spoons uset in hospitals, nurseries. etc"
 Needy Waited fer Relief
 Needy people in Moscow durinI the war. he said. starved and al most without clothes, waited long time for the Red Gross to ar rive"

 ToI Influence
 Peace Facts
SenotoP Sure
 To Use ByFnes As Mccarthy

New York, Nov. 7-(UP) E.-Sen. Arthur H. Vanden. berg, (R.-Mich.), will resume his place at the side of Secre' tary of State James F. Byrnes in the Big Four Council oi Foreign Ministers, when that group meets again tomorrow, with even greater influence than he has yielded since the first of this year.
 Ever since January, when Vandenberg demanded and obtained a greater voice in formulation as well as execu. ton of a bipartisan American for- eign policy, the senator from Mlchi- gan has been 6 major influence on Byrnes.
 Now that vandenberg is almost certain to be the new chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Com mittee which must ratify any Nea- ties the Big Four agree upon at their meeting here, his voice will be even more influential in the preparation of the peace treaties.
 Vandenberg May Head Senate
 vandenberg also is being talked about as the new president pro tenn of the Senate. The vice presi- dent when the nation has one, is the Senate's presiding officer, other wise the president pro tenn takes over.
 The Big Four foreign ministers are in recess until Friday after- noon when they will plunge into the much-argued dispute about Trieste-with the East trying tc place that strategic trouble area within the Soviet sphere of inn ence, and the West struggling just as hard to keep it out. The foreign ministers long since have aban- doned the nice sounding principle of ethnic frontiers as @ basis for settlement of the area at the head of the Adriatic.
 Byrnes had no appointments scheduled early today. but he ano Bevin have agreed to talk about Palestine when the Council is moi involved with a treaties. The 36- hour recess-to give Soviet Foreign Minister V. M. Molotov a chance to go to Washington to celebrate the Bolshevik Revolution of l9l7-wil give them their first chance tc talk on that issue.
 May Settle Authority Issue
 The Byrnes-Bevin talks on Pales. tine probably will determine wheth' CT in the future Byrnes is to handlt that trouble spot or whether-ai in the past-President Truman vii do so directly with British Pfim' Minister Clement Attlee. Byrnes is known to have beer annoyed at Mir. Trumans "takint lover" that issue, and even more ss since the President was believed ii many quarters to have bungled 1 recently with his statement tS Attlee on the eve of Yom Kippur.
 There was a general agreement among the men around Byrnes tha' there will be no change in Ameri. can foreign policy as result of the elections. Most guesses were tha' U. S. official attitude toward the Soviet Union may be more firm because it is . acknowledged that Vandenberg has been one of the leading opponents of what some call the last years "get tough" policy.

Smooch, Pressroom's Preening Pussy,
 Has Six LiUes Left to Glue for Cat Week

This is the story of the kitten who came to dinner.
 It's nearly three months now since a tiny, black-as-night kitten wan- dered down into The Democrats press room and immediately sought and gained the affectionate atten- tion of the ordinarily calloused characters who inhabit such places.
 No well-ordered store or factory or home should be without q cat of course, but keeping one for long in a newspaper press room is a real problem. once the press starts, the noise is enough to terrify any but the most phlegmatic of humans, let alone a tiny black kitten.
 No Fraidy Cat, He
 But, for the first if not the last time Smooch proved he was rather an exceptional cat that day he canie to dinner. Either the self assurance came naturally or else a full stomach has reconstructed one hungry kitten.
 The first grinding noise of the starting press provoked mild inter- est. He deigned to cast a casual glance in its direction. turned slow- ly away and curled up to sleep, well eamouiaged In the box of rags which every press room boasts.

 Or Confusion

New York, Nov. 7-(UP) President Truman and the Republican leaders of, the newly-elected opposition Con- gress faced a choice today be- tween cooperation or con- fusion in Government.
 The hard facts of precedent promise little cooperation. The last time the voters sent a Republican Congress to Washington to help Q Demo cratic President run the nation the result was the bitterest kind of political conflict.
 That was in 1918 when Republic cans won the Senate and House midway in Woodrow Wilson's last presidential term. Political diEer- ences became personal hatreds and the bitterness did not end until the principal actors, one by one, were dead and buried.
 Paralysis Feared
 Democratic campaigners warned the voters that election of Q Re- publican Congress would paralyze the national government. Returns from the Republican landslide still were being tabulated when there developed a scattering of Demo- cratic suggestions that President Truman deal with the situation by resigning in favor of Republican. Sen. J. William Fulbright, D.- Ark), made the suggestion. It was editorially endorsed by the pro- Administration Chicago Sun. Next support came from the Democratic Atlanta (Ga.) Constitution.
 Tn a page one editorial, the Con- stitution said the Democratic Party should give ''very serious" consid- eration to the FHilbright proposal. Practical politicians scoffed in fgnnNtssastoA TSa1A G-fEZARl
