Sullivan Charges Congress
With Repudioting Voters

INDIANAPOLIS, Aug. 9 (P.-
Gael Sullivan. executive director of
the Democratic National Committee
said tonight The record of the Re-
publican Eightieth Congress is q
sorry and shameful reputation OF
the people" ::
In an address at a rally of Indiana
Young Democrats, Mr.. Sullivan said
the Eightieth Congress did make
an effort to handle foreign policy on
a non-partisan basis,' but failed
to understand the Importance OF
human welfare at home as a basis
of peace abroad"
President Truman" he said
Offered the Republican Congress a
program of peace and prosperity at
home. He offered a program to
share our peace and prosperity to
breed peace and prosperity in the
rest of the world. On domestic
issues the Republican Congress
blocked him at every turn"
Accuses Republicans.
He accused the Republicans OF
playing fast and loose with the
Nations security" and of wagering
it against the cheap bauble of party
power"
"On domestic issues the Republi-
can Congress blocked him (Mr. Tru-
mani at every turn" he said. "And
as the Republicans in Congress We
toed the Presidents program fol-
progress, Republican leaders angrily
shouted the 10 commandments OF
reaction. Listen to the thou shalt
nots' of reaction:
Thou shalt not guarantee work
ing people a decent wage.
Thou shalt not stop floods and
save agricultural riches.
Thou shalt not have genuine Sc
curity from want and suffering in
your old age.
Thou shalt not have adequate
medical care.
Thou shalt not have the right te
an education.
Thou shalt not train youth to
defend it's country.
Thou shalt not give the labor
ing man the same rights as other
citizens.
Thou shalt not give the poor tax
relief ahead of, the wealthy.
Thou shalt not have relief from
the inflationary spiral of prices.
Thou shalt not have a decent
home for you and your family"

for continued Western civilization"
appears brighter than a year ago
despite Russian failure and unwill-

Russia is becoming isolated" and
that her favorite instrument of

Murray Lists Labor
Record Of Congress;
Urqes Union Action
BY the Assoeiossd Press

Philip Murray, president of the
CIO. urged in the CIO News last
night that unionists organize now
to sweep out of ofiice the Congress
men and Senators who voted against
the people"
His signed statement, declaring
that the 80th Congress In its first
session has failed" the people, was
reproduced in a supplement to the
publication along with a table re-
porting the votes Of Senate and
House members on 10 issues.
The CIO News, in an article ac-
companying the tabulation, said
the list did not constitute a black
list or list of Endorsed candidates.
1t said labor's position win be taken
locally in each district and State,
but added that the voting records
will be important in selecting that
position.
Gives Summation.
Mr.. Murray gave this as his sum-
nation of what Congress did:
I'm the face of rising prices, fall
ing incomes, and the housing short
age, the Congress struck at collective
bargaining between labor and in
dustry, destroyed rent control, made
housing for veterans and others
more unobtainable, victimized the
working farmer, and tried, though
unsuccessfully. to favor the wealthy
in tax reduction. Health, welfare,
veterans and civil rights issues were
sidetracked."
The table Of votes by Senate mem
bers showed four Republicans
Brewster Of Maine, Butler of Nebra-
ska, Bricker of Ohio, and Cain of
Washington-and one Democrat
Byrd of virginia-voting against
the CIO stand straight down the
line.
Three Vote "All Rights.
Three Republicans-John J. Will
liams, Delaware; KEN, Missouri,
and Flanders. Vermont, and one
Democrat - McKeller, Tennessee,
were recorded as voting wrong" on
all but one ballot, and not being
recorded on that one.
A straight string of right" votes
was shown only for three Demo-
Gratis Pepper, Florida; Green,
Rhode Island. and Kilgore, West
Virginia.
The table gave no total scores
and merely recorded the letters "R"
for right for q vote in line with the
C1O position and wv" for wrong
for a vote the other way.
An "R" string broken only by one
ballot each on which they were not
recorded was shown for three Demo-
crats-Downey. California: Taylor,
Idaho, and Ebert Thomas, Utah
and one Republican-Langer, North
Dakota.
ODaniel, Texas. was the only
Democrat, in q group of II Sena-
tors, shown as voting wrong" every
time but one. The Republicans
were Dworshak, Idaho: Jenner,
Indiana; Cooper, Kentucky: White.
Maine; Vandenberg. Michigan;
Ecton, Montana; Hawkes., New Jer-
sey; Taft. Ohio; Moore. Oklahoma,
and Wiley, Wisconsin.
The Taft "R" vote was on the
seating Of Senator Bilbo. which the
C1O opposed. Senator Vanden-
berg's "R" vote was on the Lilien-
thai confirmation which the CIO
favored.
House members were scored on q
different series Of 10 vo@es.,s s.,--t
