.Whdt's Doing in Politics

In a stormy FREE AND OPEN CONVENTION the State Democratic ticket was chosen at Hartford last week. Scorning the CIOPAC's kiss of death prediction that Bowles would be nominated on the first ballot, the convention opened with five joisters for the Gubernatorial seat Chester BOwles, CIOPAC endorsed, Lieut.. Governor Snow, Mayor Monagan of Waterbury, former Congressman Alfred N. Phillips, IT,, of Stam- ford, and Thomas Dodd, Prosecutor of the Nuremberg Trials, in Ger many. It looked to the novici- ates in the delegations to the convention that they were in for as long and stormy a scene as the convention held a few years back when Wilbur Cross came through the candidate for Governor around { A. M. the morning after, at the Hotel Griswold in Groton. New London County delegations voted almost as block for Tom Dodd, waiting for the propitious moment when they could start a landslide for the Lieut.. Governor. The counting of the first ballot votes had progressed towards the end of the counting stage when the Wa terbury delegation started the ball rolling and then like whirlwind the Dodd and Phillips votes came tumbhng after. ... Wilbert Snow, the whimsical and sincere lieuten- ant governor, was nominated on the first ballot! ... Wilbert Snow, who for many of the months he has been in office has acted as Gov ernOr of the state, has an even to one chance of being actually the next Governor. He, has made the problems of all sections of the state his own while serving as acting. Governor, travelling many times himself into the smallest communities to iron out difficult teS rather than "let John do t." With the nomination of Snow |. came also the U. s. Senatorial nomination shortly after of that well loved Connecticut citizen, Jos eph Tone, who has solid block of Labor votes that will attract many a worker into voting other than his regular party ticket. This vote may easily offset the small town T never voted anything but the straight Republican ticket" votes of the rural areas. {. Dr. James Me- Conaughy, Republican candidate for the same office, is also former Wesleyan professor, and served as President of that College. AL though he is well-known in scolas- tic circles, to many on the political front he is an unknown. This, too, may be in Wilbert Shows fa- vor. An anti-professor hue and cry that has been used as political fodder in other campaigns will hardly be used by either party this fall we can be sure. In nOminat- ing Southingtons GI, Stephen K. Elliot for Shows running mate, the Demmies made a smart move In the right direction. Tone for U. s. Senate Clubs are already springing up amongst the Labor Unions. Prominent among these, and probably the first on record is the New London Central Labor Unions Club, representing 19 local New London County Unions, chair man, Art Buttery," GEL vice president. Appeals are also be- ing made for cooperation from the Norwich CLU. We have in the picture this Fall in Eastern Con- necticut, an aroused Conservative AFL Labor electorate. An electorate that up to recent years has rightfully been regarded as an unorganized group. Perhaps

Reorganization Now
(Continued from Page Eight)

(Continaed from Page Eight)
 Iieve that such fear is unjustified because Congress writes into the statute laws governing the FILA and laws governing the home loan banks. can see no way by which the Administrator can swing every thing under public housing. After all, he may be 8 private housing man. believe that any fear to the effect that by adopting the suggested policy we subject one person to someone else is complete ly falIaciOus."
 But even completely aside from the question of personalities, this fear of public housing domination is completely untenajble and fallaci- ous on two very distinct grounds. In the first place, 1t completely overlooks and depreciates the func- tion of Congress itself. It neglects the fact that Congress, and Con- gress alone, can and will determine the size and scope of the various housing programs undertaken by the Government, whether they re- late to private housing or to public housing. No matter what may be the leanings of particular appoin- tee, no National Housing Admin istrator can administer a larger housing program or a larger pro- gram of insuring privately mort gagged houses, or a larger program of rural housing, than the Congress itself authorizes or desires. Further, I have complete faith in the ability of our Banking and Currency Con- mittee, and also in the ability of our Appropriations Committee, to see to 1t that any administration of the housing program contrary to the intent of the Congress, is stopped before 1t can make any headway at all.
 The. second weakness in this argument of the opposition is that in effect 1t constitutes an asSump- tion that the various housing activi- ties which the Congress are and should be highly competitive with one another. Such an assumption embraces in turn the further as- sumption that since these various activities are competitive, they should be lodged in separate agen- cies, where they can be more free to engage in combat with one an- other.
 These assumptions are wholly un- tenable. The various housing &C., tivities of the government should not be competitive; they should be reconciled through well-thought- out, we'll administered, and unified policy lad down by the Congress, and this is possible only if we have unification of our housing ac- tivities and functions in a single agency.
 The third and very important justification for the reorganiza- tion plan is that it strengthens Con- gress in the control over our hous- ing policy. This was demonstrated by the results of the war time con- solidation of the housing agencies which enabled the committees and individual members of Congress for for the first time to obtain from one source a complete and integrated picture of the entire housing pro- gram of the Federal Government.
Eastern Connecticut news., 1946-09-28

It was possible for our committees and individual members to review our national housing program and activities in detail and directly shape the course of its develop ment. For the first time we in the Congress had real facilities for knowing fully and promptly what is being done in housing and so what ought to be done and what ought not to be done. For the first time therefore this body had been in position to execute Its own and prime function of determining basic policy on housing ard check. ing on it's administration.
 To cite one typical example, our ability to work with single agency and to obtain from it a thorough and understandable picture of hous- ing needs and problems made it possible for us to give attention to the problems of demobilization on the housing front long before we were able to give similar attention to the case of other war programs. In fact Congress was able as early as the summer of 1943, to enact legislation which set forth the basic. plan for the postwar deposition and removal of all temporary housing financed by the government.
 Certainly we do not want to do ourselves the tremendous disserv- ice of returning to the hopeless confusion of the pre-War period, when we had a score. of govern mental bodies to deal with and to supervise, and when 1t was nearly impossible for us to exercise. any sort of effective control over the housing activities of the govern ment. Certainty, where we have finally managed to reach the point where we really get the facts on housing where we can know both what is being done and what should be done, and where we can actually direct our housing activities, we should think twice before hastily wiping out this achievement as we will if we vote for H. Con. Res. 155.
 On the basis of our war experi- ence the President could so far as the housing functions of the gov ernment were concerned, give only one meaning to our declaration on the Reorganization plans for con- solidation of the government agen- cies and activities as will promote economy, increase efficiency, eli minate overlapping and duplication of effort and consolidate and CO., ordinate agencies having similar functions under a single head.
 Today housing is a top priority domestic problem. It covers one of Cur more urgent obligations to the veteran. And the non-partisan vet eran, tOon, has desperate need of adequate housing. Here is an area in which we just have unified gov ernment action. The very fact that housing programs have controver- sia1 elements makes it essential that we have a unified agency whose actions can be followed by the Congress. In this field of housing. there is every reason why we should make it clear that we really mean business in passing the Re- organization Act. A vote for the resolution is a declaration of in- tent to nullify that act.
