while the American Federation of Labor's Executive Council castigated it for shameful Subservience to lobby istS for special interests" and "1egis- lative assaults against the masses of American workers"
 Partisan politicians would like to have people believe that this dismal condition was created by COngressmen of the opposing party. Thus, Democratic partisans blame the Republicans, while the Repub- icans say the mess should be charged up to a DemOcratic-cOn- trOlled Congress. The truth of the matter is that reactiOnaries of both parties, Republicans like Wherry of Nebraska and Talbot of our own state, and Democrats like BiIbO of Mississippi and Smith of Virginia. joined hands to open the hOodgates of imitation, to end price controls prematurely, to shelve the National Housing Act, to hamstring labor and to vote against every prOgres- sive measure that came before Con- gress.
 Labor, therefore, cannot afford to vote blindly for candidates sim ply because they carry one label or another. It would be we'll for every worker to learn between now and Election Day how to split his vote among the candidates of the vari- Ous parties, so it may be cast only for true friends of labor.
 To Review Fight
 The effort to revoke the hard won gains of labor will be renewed in the 80th Congress. Reactionary forces al- ready have proclaimed their assaults on labor will include and attempt to weaken the National Labor Relations Act. Labor, therefore, must be more alert than ever politically to sec that its enemies are punished by aiding to bring about their defeat in the coming election, and that its friends are re- warded by helping to elect them.
 Very Good Records
 Fortunately for Connecticut, the Congressmen who served the state in the 79th Congress that seek re-elec- tion functioned as progreSsives. AL though after careful study we are un- able to grade their voting record as excellent. we are justified in calling it very good.

Supreme Court To Hear Labor Cases

WASHINGTON (LPA) = Faced with a backlog of more than 500 cases the U. s. Supreme Court has reconvened with several crucial labor cases were listed on the courts dock ct. Of far reaching interest was a suit challenging the constitutionality of the Hatch Act forbidding certain electoral activities by federal em- ployees.
 Union attorneys are also watching a case questioning whether individual states may apply their own labor reg ulations laws to industries already subject to federal statutes of similar kind. New York State and Bethle- hem Steel Corp. are the litigants.
 A third case which may set prece- dents involves the consideration which should be given to the testi- mony of an employer who claims all his employees will agree, if put on the witness stand, that they were not coerced prior to an NLRB elections.

':We March As One''
 'sThere is no division within the AFL," Green told the convention on its last day. "We march as one, we speak as one. None of our en- emies can get any consolation over divisions, for there are none"

WASHINGTON, Feb. 27, (P)- The armed forces put in a bid to- day for 20 per cent pay hike and found Congressional reaction fa- vorable, although the boost would probably cost $100,OOO,OOO a year.
 To many lawmakers, reluctant about continuing the draft, the proposed increase in pay and al- lowances for all military person. nel represented fresh induce ment for voluntary enlistments- and the more volunteers, the less demand on selective service.
 The increase was recommended jointly by Secretary of War Pat terson and Secretary of the Navy Forrestal, who said the objective was to bring the pay schedules "more in line with the increased

Demand America Match Russias Foreign Policy

WASHINGTON, Feb. 27, (P)-- Senator Vandenberg R-Mich.J. called today for vigorously plain spoken American foreign policy that will match Russia's in firm ness.
 Reporting to the Senate on his work as delegate to the United Nations meeting in London, the chairman of the Republican Sen atorial conference told his col leagues that the world today is asking: What is Russia up to now?"
 Without attempting to answer that question specifically, Van denoerg said in prepared ad- dress that upon the answer may depend the future fate of world efforts to keep the peace.
 It would be entirely futile, the Michigan Senator said, "to blink at the fact that two great, rival ideologies-Democracy in the west and Communism in the east-here find themselves face to face with the desperate need for mutual un- derstanding in finding common ground upon which to strive fer peace for both.7
 But he said the United States and Russia "can live together in reasonable harmony if the United States speaks as plainly upon ar occasions as Russia does; if the United States just as vigorously sustainS its own purposes and it's deals upon all occasions as Russia does; if we abandon the miserable. fiction, often encouraged by our fellow travellers, that we some how jeopardize the peace if our candor is as firm as Russia's al ways is; if if we assume a moral leadership which we have too frequently allowed to lapse"
 "We need but one rule," Van denberg added. What is right? Where is justice? There let Amer ica take her stand" Along with that, Vandenberg said the United States must make it plain that there is a line beyond which compromise cannot go."
 'I have the feeling it is the best way to win Soviet respect and Soviet trust. Respect must precede trust and both are indispensable to peace"
