Ickes, Montgomery Voter
Now, Won't State Politics

Harold L. Ickes. former Secretary
of the Interior, who has been affil-
lated with both the Republican and
Democratic Parties, refused to stats
his party affiliation in registering a.
a Montgomery County voter at
Olney, Md.
WAS Frank Knox a Democrat7"
asked Mr.. Ickes. Then why should
you assume I am one?"
The late Mr.. Knox was Republi-
can nominee for Vice President in
1896 and served as Secretary of the
Navy under President Roosevelt.
MIR. Ickes, who served in the same
cabinet, did not list his party affili-
alton in the Congressional Directory
during that tenure. He has been q
delegate to both Republican and
Democratic national conventions,

porter OF Theodore Roosevelt and

administration at Washington has
been definitely derelict in the per-
formance of it's duties"
Mr.. Murray's face was working
with emotion as he told the 800 dele
gates that if it were not for the
militancy of the CIO in working for
constructive measures, God knows
what would become of this country" !"
Gets 17-Minute Ovation.
The convention on its final
day staged the annual demonstra-
ton for Mr.. Murray with cheering
and band playing.
Jacob S. Potofsky, president of the
Amalgamated Clothing Workers,
called him "the greatest labor lead
er in the world" in a nominating
speech. -
The cheering, table humping and
throwing of tablcloths continued
for II minutes and was halted only
when a band began playing THE
Star-Spangled Banner"
Last year he permitted rumors to
persist for weeks that he would re-
tire. And indeed he did seem weary
and harassed at the 1916 convention
in Atlantic City.
Today at 81 he looks better than
he has in years. He has been in
fine spirits all week as though a
load were off his mind. No one
has even limited that he might quit.
Made CIO Act as Unit.
Once more Mr.. Murray has per-
formed the interesting feat of man.
aging the annual convention so that
the delegates spoke and acted pub
icly as solid unit-with one re-
markable exception.
Wednesday he gave a green light
for right-wing leaders like Walter
Reuther, George Baldanzi and Van
Bittner to make speeches-far
reaching and caustic-criticizing the
Communist line on the subject of
American foreign policy.
This was an unmistakable blow at
the Communicative, left-wing mi
nority Of the CIO.
Mr.. Murray even took part in the
process himself. He interpreted the
unanimous adoption of a foreign
policy resolution to mean that every
delegate had pledged himself not
to "subvert" Americas form of gov
ernment and its democratic institu-
tions.
Mr.. Murray thundered that no
delegate could "betray" these ideals,
either through the use of sublety
or evasion or in hidden places or in
open forums" and remain loyal to
the CIO.
One change was possible among
the nine vice presidents in the elec-
tions today.
o. A. Knight, president of the oil
workers, has been campaigning for
the job held by r. j. Thomas, vice
president of the United Auto Work
ers. Mr.. Thomas has refused to
make any announcement as to
whether he would seek reelection.
UAW politics are mixed into that
situation. The UAW is the only
union with two CIO vice presidents
"a fact which has caused other
unions to protest. The two are Mr..
Thomas and Walter Reuther, UAW
president, who now are campaigning
against each other for the UAW
presidency. The UAW convention
is in November.
