Non-P Partisan Committee Scores McLeUy's Stand

The Non-Rartisan Political Con- mittee of the Connecticut Fedora tion of Labor today described Mayor Jashper McLevy of Bridge port, Socialist nominee for gover- nor. as "a disgruntled candidate who is fast losing labor support by his adherance to policy of false economy"
 In: g. statement issued in answer to radio attack by Mayor McLevy on Johnny -come-latelies" and Democratic mouthpieces who have taken over" the Connecticut Feder- ation of Labcr, the A.F.L. commit tee declared that it is opposed to the -McLevy candidacy because labor abhors the kind of cheap government at the expense of low- paid city employees that obtains in Bridgeport"
 Joseph P. Cleary, chairman of the CPL. Non- Partisan Political. Committee, listed the names of such veteran -AF.L. leaders as Den- his Carroll of Danbury and Harold Feinmark, former secretary-treas- urer of the GEL, and asked If they are to be regarded as Johnny come-latelies He said that Peter Bernard, president of the Bridge port Central Labor Union and a state vice president, was present at the New Haven meeting when the committee voted to endorse Lieu tenant Governor Wilbert Snow, the Democratic candidate for governor.
 MT. Cleary said that plans for the all-day meeting in New Haven, held Oct. q, had been announced in the press. The Socialist can- didate for Congress in the 5th Dis trict, John c. Cluney of Waterbury, appeared at the meeting and asked permission to present his views, he stated, and this permission was given. But Mayor McLevy, MT. Cleary went on did not even deign to answer the questionnaire sent to him"
 lieutenant Governor Snow was also allowed to speak, said MT. Cleary's statement, and the fact that he invited the committee to lunch did not impeach the integ- riy of its members, nor of the So- cialist candidate who also accepted the invitation. On previous occa- sion a subcommittee met at lunch con with Dr. James L. McCon- aughy, at his invitation, at which he outlined his position toward labor?
 As to a charge by Mayor McLevy that the committee meeting was "rigged and railroaded," MT. Cleary declared: "This unfounded accusa- tion only shows how little he knows of the democratic way in which the State Federation functions"

It was reported meantime that Field Examiner H.

 Tickets marched in front of the City Yards entrances on Benedict and West Liberty Streets. Police Superintendent William J. Roach and Capt. Fred Hickey visited the scene during the morning. Several policemen were in evidence but Superintendent Roach said they were men who were on assign ments with Street Department crews and were kept at the yard gates when the men did not work.
 To Have Signs In Afternoon Without signs this morning, the pickets were to have them this afternoon. Union leaders at the picket lines included MT. Collins, MT. Denkowski, MT. Martin and Rudy Tata, former business agent of the TeamSters Union.
 Following is the text of Superin- tendent Scott-Smith's statement on the strike:
 T cannot understand why certain men in the City Yards have seen fit to go out on strike. They have made. certain requests which had been presented to the Board of Works at its last meeting on Oct.

Rodzevich Accuses
 Republicans

Thomas J. Radzevich, Democra- tic candidate for Congress from the 5th District last night attacked the Republican Party as one whose Headers are inherently selfish and strive to serve the powerful few" MT. Radzevich spoke on three To- cal stations in in his first formal radio address in this area.
 The Torrington war veteran seeking the election to Congress from the 5th District urged the people to vote citing this election as important to policy making as any presidential year.
 we are not electing just indi- vidual men, but an entire party : We must never forget that the party which is most successful on election day will choose the officers and committee chairmen of the next Congress, Radzevich said.
 T accuse the Republican Party of playing selfish politics with your welfare; politics when the admin istration requested bipartisan CO., operation.
 What, for example, of the fat that 133 Republican congressman during this last session voted to slash two hundred million dollars from the veterans housing program? Is that sefish?" the candidate asked
 ."The years since 1892 have prov en the most progressive in this con- tnry and they were administered by the Democrats. The greatest gains from the bog of the Republican unanswered depression. Great strides were made in land conservation and farm benefits. These are but few of the advantages" Radzevich de- clared.
 The Torrington man was heard in three addresses over WATR, WWCO and WWCO and VERY.

 Decontrol Board Almost Idle
 While O.P.A. continued it's swift decontrol operations, the Price De- control Board called meeting today to survey the situation. The Admin istration's accelerated attack on price ceilings, however, left the board with virtually no work to do.
 O.P.A. price ceilings also were re- moved today from the inedible oils hitherto remaining under control. They included linseed oil, in import ant ingredients in the manufacture of soap, paint, and varnishes.
 OP.A. officials declined to predict decontrol of either soap or paint as result. But they said higher prices will probably result to permit man. ufacturers to absorb higher costs of linSeed oil
 O.P.A. said the recent price slump on the cotton, exchanges would make it unnecessary to boost cotton tex tile prices in November. In the past four months, O.P.A. raised these prices 22.5 percent over June 30 lev els to reflect higher raw cotton prices.
 Cotton Items Get Big Boast
 Ceilings were raised 30 percent on couple of cotton items, however, to spur production. These were chil- dren's knit sleeping garments now retailing at $1.03 and women and misses knit pants selling at 46 cents.
 Other items on O.P.A.'s new de- control list were:
 Electric photographs, funeral sup plies. including caskets and metal burial vaults, wheel chairs and crutches, farm and garden tools, shower curtains and shower curtain sets, casseroles, cookers, and can- nerS, dish pans and wash basins, home canning jars and closures;
 Metal pailS and tubs, pottery for cooking and table use; heavy forged iron hand tools, fitted tool cases and kits, tool boxes, wheelbarrowS, busi- ness machines, including adding ma- chimes, commercial furniture and equipment, commercial cooking utensils and pails, safes and cash and bond boxes.
