Foreign Influence
Repudiated by PAC
BY the Assoeiotsd Press

NEW YORK, Oct. 23.-Jack
Kroll, director of the CIO Political
Action Committee, last night said
the PAC thoroughly disavows any
foreign influence or interference in
our domestic election contests"
Il cannot state this too emphat-
ically on behalf of our committee,
Mr.. Kroll said in a statement COM
menting on a Moscow radio broad
cast which commended PAC-sup-
ported candidates for Congress.
In reply to former Gov. John w
Bricker of Ohio, Republican candi-
date for the Senate, who charged
the Moscow broadcast was definite
proof" the PAC campaign lis being
directed from Communistic Rus
sia," Mr.. Kroll said:
1--WE repudiate and reject all ef-
forts by our political enemies to tai
us with an alien brush. = The
American people remember the re-
cent Endorsement of John Brickel
by Gerald L. K. Smith and the fail
ure of Bricker to repudiate the sup
port of Smiths rabble- -rousine
crowd.
The Republican party, by theil
attempts to smear the PAC, is try
ing to avoid the responsibility which
lis theirs for depressing the living
standards of the American people
of cutting deep into their pay en-.
velopes by forcing prices upward
and instituting a drive to lift al
rent controls"
