Voting Guide Is Issued
By CI0 in New Fight
On Taft-Hart|ey Act
BY the Associated Press

The CIO hurled new defiance
at the Taft-Hartley labor law
yesterday by placing in the
hands of members a "1947 voting
guide"-listing the actions of
Congress members-along with
advice how to defeat in 194S
those who voted against the
people"
Let the record speak," counseled
an open letter signed by C1O Pres
ident Philip Murray, who last month
sought test of the new legisla.
ton. He then indorsed a candidate
in a Maryland special congressional
election and directed that his state
ment be published in the CIO News.
But this and similar attitudes
toward the law have not yet pro-
duced Federal action. One section
forbids expenditures in connec-
ton with Federal election-and
this was taken by its sponsors to
mean when 1.-The law was passed
that union-financed papers cannot
comment politically ON a campaign
Or election.
Justice Department Studies Law.
The Justice Department still is
studying the law which was passed
to regulate unions and curb strikes
An official said last week that the
act as a whole subject is being sur
veyed and comment will be with
held on any one section. Three as
sistant attorneys general have beer
assigned to analyze it.

konroney Hits Report
OF HalIeck and Cites
Congress Failures
By the Assooiotsd Press

Republican claims of accomplish
ments in the first session of the
Eightieth Congress drew a fresh
blast of Democratic criticism today.
Referring to a 23-page summary
of legislative action by House Re
publican Leader Halleck of Indiana,
Representative Monroney. Demo-
crat, of Oklahoma contended the
review was notable for what 1t failed
to mention.
Mr.. Halleck issued his recapitula-
ton through the Republican Ma
tional Committee over the week end.
In it he contended that, although
President Truman has not kept"
his promise to cooperate with the
Republican Congress, that body "es-
tablished solid foundations upon
which our people may pursue the
American way of life and have
prosperity, security, peace and hap
pineSs."
"The Republican Party has de-
livered," Mr.. Halleck continued. 1--WE
have responded to the will of the
people"
Monroney Replies.
Mr.. Monroney, in a statement to-
day. said:
The Importance of the summary,
Is to be found primarily in its
omissions. These omissions involve
the three major domestic problems
of the nation: Skyrocketing living
costs, advancing rental rates and
evictions, and the acute lack of
housing.
Search their long document fully
and you find that on these problems
nothing has been done except to ap-
point study committees. Even this
faint and ineffective hope of some
remote attention in perhaps six or
eight months was not given until the
Congress was ready to adjourn.
With new records being chalked
up monthly on food and other
prices, the Republican Party did
nothing to correct its mammoth
error in blasting out all imitation
controls.
Rent Increases Cited.
"Rent control was made so in
effective and weak that a Nation
wide wave of rent increases is un-
derway. Those millions who must
rent are faced with grave uncer-
tainty of whether any protection will
be given after March. 1948"
Mr.. Monroney called many of
Mr.. Halleck's claims "phony and
fallacious.
Mr.. Halleck, contending the past
session made the biggest cuts in
presidential spending estimates
since the budget system was estab-
lished in 1923, said:
"All the sharp by New
Deal Democrats and their Com
munistic fellow travellers in their
mourning against slashes in the
padded Truman budget cannot tear
down this accomplishment of the
Republican party"
/ Expected to Be Guide.
Mr.. Halleck's 8,00O-word review
was prepared for publication in the
final issue of the Congressional Rec
ord Republican chieftains said it
undoubtedly will be reprinted as a
party handbook and guide for cam
paign workers.
Meanwhile, Mrs. Robert w. Nc
Cauley, assistant chairman of the
COP National Committee and di-
rector of it's women's division, issued
