thew have been through, are IN
c7ined to think and vote differently
from the rest of the population,
A poll just completed across Inc
nation shows, however, that the
average excl reacts politically ~
inst about the same way as the
rest of the population in his age
group. There is nothing peculiar
or different about him that sets
him apart, politically, from peo-
ole in the 21-29 age bracket.
The political sentiments Of serv,
icemen who have been released
from service thus far have been
tested twice in cross-section sur
veys recently on the issue:
eff a presidential election were
being held today, which party
would you vote for-Democratic
or Republican,"
Dem. Rep.
World War II
veterans -----------oo%o 1910
A previous poll in December
showed approximately the same
results-63 per cent Democratic.
How closely this compares with
sentiment among other young peo-
pie is shown in the following fig
ures which were reported earlier
in the week:
Dem. Rep.
21-29 Yrs. of age ------62% $3.50
It is possible, of course, that
young men who are still in the
armed forces awaiting their re-
lease have somewhat different
political attitude from those al
ready released. The resentment
of many servicemen over what
they consider to be the slowness
of rehabilitation may conceivably
turn some against the party in
power in Washington.
WHEN MOBILIZATION
is completed, there will be more
than 100000 veterans in the
population, constituting a large
and potentially powerful voting
bloc.
Inevitably the question will come
up as to which of the political
leaders in the two major parties
are most popular with the veter-
ans. Which one of the many po-
tential COP candidates for presi-
dent in 1948 has the greatest pop
ularity with veterans and there
fore stands the best chance OF
cutting down Democratic party
strength among the ex-service-
men? And what men in the Demo-
cratic party do veterans like best?
Studies are now in progress to
find the answer to these questions.
The results will be reported at an
early date.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1946-07-11
By CHARLES KEATS (G.O.P. Political Writer)

On-tne-record discussions with regular Democratic Party leaders, as well as Republicans, indicate a strong measure of worry and un- rest over the growing threat to the two party system in our country. Neither side currently sees any im- mediate chance of the disrupting influences affecting the coming election. As a matter of fact there is a strong belief that the radical forces will prove complete failure h1 this November's balloting.
 However, there is a strong fear that the encroachments of the ex- treme left wing, using the age-old tactics of divide and conquer, are in fair way to break up and f. nally take over the reins of the Democratic Party. The obvious, though intricate, plan of the master minds of the Red strategists also has . pattern for infiltration in the Republican Party.
 This strategy is clearly defined in the nature of the various PAC groups, the CfO-PAC, the Citizens PAC and similar setups designed to weaken one or the other side. Up to the present the left wing has had little success, but they have large financial resources and the shrewdness and boldness of their leadership can hardly be questioned

Extrodition Of Accused KiIIerAsked

Raleigh, N. C., July 11-(UP)- North Carolina authorities today awaited a reply from Massachusetts officials in connection with attempts to extradite William R Taylor, 27- year-old Negro, to North Carolina.
 Taylor, who escaped the Iredell County, N. C., prison camp July Is, l942, while serving an 3-12-year term for armed robbery allegedly is being held in Massachusetts on murder charge.
 North Carolina Attorney General Harry McMullen said he had learned that Taylor had been ar- raigned Tuesday in Roxbury District Court in Boston, charged with the murder of Mrs. Agnes Burnett, 84.
 Two years after fleeing North Carolina Taylor was arrested in Boston however. he appealed to the Massachusetts Supreme Court and was released under Sl0,000 bond, McMullan said.
 McMullan said today that &C., cording to Boston newspaper ac- counts the Negros bond had been withdrawn later and that he was allowed to go free on his personal recognizance. McMullan said he had never been notified of this action.
 Arrested last Sunday, Taylor was

quiries and will continue mailing out the advertised materials about Con- necticut's summer recreational ad- vantages until the requests cease usually about mid-August.
 In addition to sending two or more pieces of literature in answer to the above number of inquiries, the De- velopment Commission has circulat- ed other thousands of Connecticut vacation material through travel bureaus, chambers of commerce and the like for distribution throughout the country. More than 50,00O booklets, maps and folders have been used in all.
 In announcing the results of this years campaign, the commission pointed out that in contrast to oth- CT recreational states its vacation advertising is limited and is re- stricted to few out-of state news papers only. No magazines are used. The commission said post season surveys taken in past years have shown that vacationists diRct-

in light of their proof of power in the last Democratic convention. Their success has been thus far more evident in political pressure than at the polls.
 Voters on the Alert
 The voters are far too aware of the importance of their franchise as Americans to follow the blatant leadership of a strange theology. However, the days ahead are pre- cariouS.
 Democrats have long been just as proud of their status as loyal Am ericans as have been the Republi- cans. The insiStance of such a strong segment of their party on candidates with PAC blessing has them keenly worried.
 Although there will be several is sues in the coming campaign, the question being watched for an ans wer is whether or not Communism is going to be a leading factor.
 Political figures who recall the recent radio debate in which Rep resentative Clare Boothe Luce and William z. Foster of the American CD Communists, elashed over a nationwide hookup, feel certain that Communism will be a major factor
 Red Flag Acclaimed
 They call themselves American Communists, but there is consider able food for thought in the direct copy of Fosters sworn testimony before a Congressional committee which appeared in the Congression- al Record of May 25, 1946.
 Fosters testimony follows:
 Chairman: And now for loyalty tt our country. If I understand you MT. Foster, the workers of Americl look on the Soviet flag as ther flag.
 MT Foster: The workers of this country and the workers of every country have only one flag. That's the Red Flag.
 Chairman: MT. Foster, do you owe allegiance to the American flag? Does the Communist Party owe a. legiance to the American flag?
 MT Foster: I stated very cleary that the Red flag is the flag of tie revolutionary class and we are part of the revolutionary class and II capitalistic flage are the flags of the capitalistic class and we owe 10 allegiance to them.
 No. 1 Member on Record
 There in a few brief statemelts is the credo of the group Whth has been creeping it's way into p,o- minence during the past few years. This is not the purely political h. dictment of one side by the other, 1t comes rather as self stated plr- pose and belief by the No. mem Der of the American Communist party under oath.
 American workers will resist slch sentiments and influences with Vdes and vehemence, when and if tley recognize them. The danger is tat these radical leaders do not ofen show their hands so clearly. Tteir usual weapons are subtlety and pr sistent campaigning.
 It was Lincoln who said "As bng as the people keep their virtue md their vigilance, no administrator can very seriously injure the pv- ernment in the short space of bur years
 However, in all his far-sigited wisdom, Lincoln could not forseethe birth of an influence which w,uld seek to replace our American Way Of Life. It is food for thought.

 He said that If Taylor received any sentence other than death he would request that he be returned to North Carolina after serving bis Massachusetts term. Taylor had served only nine months when he escaped in 1942.
