Murray Of Tennessee
Slated 10 Head House
Civil Service Group
By joseph YOUNG

The Democratic sweep Of Con-
gress will give the craftsmanship of
the House Civil Service Committee
to Representative Murray Of Ten
nessee. and the Senate Civil Serv-
ice Committee probably will be
headed by either Senator Johnston
OF South Carolina or Senator
O'Conor OF Maryland.
Out as chairmen of the two COM
mittees are Representative Rees of
Kansas and Senator LANCER of
North Dakota. Both are expected
to remain as ranking minority
members of the committees, how
ever.
1t is practically certain that Mr..
Murray will get the House chair
manship. He has consistently sup
ported beneficial Government en-
ployes' legislation, and was active
in the successful drive this year
that brought Federal employees a
salary increase and the hberaliza-
ton Of their retirement benefits.
Senate Situation Not Clear.
The picture on the Senate side
is not yet clear. Senator Johnston
is entitled to the Craftsmanship on
the basis of seniority, but he also
has first crack at the Craftsmanship
of the Senate District Committee.
Senator Johnston told The Star by
telephone today from his home in
Spartanburg, S. c., that he had not
yet made up his mind.
Il want to talk first to the Senate
leadership about all this and ther
We'll decide which Craftsmanship ]
should take for the good of the
party" Senator Johnston said.
Senator Johnston supported the
Federal pay raise and retirement
liberalization legislation, but he was
instrumental in blocking pay in
Icreases for District Government
workers because of his opposition to
the move to levy a sales tax here
to offset the cost of raises to the
District.
O'COnOr an Active Member.
Senator O'Conor, who would be
in line for the job if his colleague
takes the District Committee post,
has been very active on the Senate
Civil Service Committee during his
two years as member of the SEN
ate. He was one of the Senate
leaders in the successful Senate
fight to secure greater Federal SAL
ary and retirement benefits. Gov
ernment employees groups think
very highly of him.
Government union officials, al
though they maintained a strictly
hands-off attitude in the election,
were visibly disappointed because
Mr.. Rees and Senator LANCER would
no longer head their respective civil
service committees. g
Although these officials say they
have high regard for the ability of
the prospective new chairmen of the
two committees and feel certain
that Government employees prob
lens will receive sympathetic at
tention from them, the union lead
ers thought highly Of Senator Lam
ger and Mr.. Rees.
Both men we're very friendly to
beneficial legislation for Govern
ment employees and worked closely
with Government workers unions.

ers out yesterday, and many more
thousands on a part-time basis.
Labor, both the CIO and AFL, ac-
complished its results with an
amazingly small outlay of money.
Last reports showed combined ex-
penditures of both groups as well
under 81 100000.
Both Mr.. Kroll and Joseph
Keenan,, head of the new AFL
league, worked tirelessly during the
campaign. Mr.. keenan, has been
on the 60 from his Washington Of
flee for the past several months.
Big Help From Harrison.
George M. Harrison, president of
the Railway Clerks and an AFL
Executive Council member. lined up
the support of two-score labor lead
ers for President Truman. He was
head of the Democratic National
Committees labor arm and when
the AFL decided to continue its ira
dition of not indorsing presiden-
tial candidate Mr.. Harrison set up
Labor's Committee for Truman and
Barkley.
The influence of another labor
leader, well known In Washington,
was seen in the Democrats showing
in Ohio. He is Philip Hannah, sec
retary of the Ohio Federation of
Labor and a former assistant secre-
tary of labor under Mr.. Truman.
While the AFL and CIO are bitter
rivals at the top level, there was no
question but that cooperation at
the State and local levels play a ma
jor part in what labor accomplished
in the election. Even Mr.. Kroll and
Mr.. Harrison, both from Cincinnati
got together frequently on their
election strategy.
Meanwhile, Mr.. Wallace, who fell
far short of getting the popular vote
that had been expected, said the
voting showed the American people
oppose "repressive labor legislation"
and want price protection.
In a statement issued after a
night-long vigil at his party head
quarters where~he watched election
returns, the Progressive Party pres
idential candidate said:
Yesterday, the American people
showed by their votes that they were
against Taft-Hartley and repressive
labor legislation: against high prices
to the consumer and for price pro-
lection for the farmer.
These are the issues which would
not have been injected into the
campaign but for the determined
fight of the Progressive Party"

Election Returns Fail to Draw
Throngs in VoteIess D. C..

In the Republican quarters at the
Statler, John T. Rimback, %, a stu
dent at the Georgetown Foreign
Service School, was seized by pho
tographers, vino were amazed at his
resemblance to Gov. Dewey. Mr..
Rimback, who said he grew his
moustache ''in self-defense," be-
cause every one told him he'd look
just like the New York Governor If
he did SO, is member of the Dis
trict Young Republican Club.
Photographers who wanted to pose
him in front of the "king-sized"
picture of Dewey reported to be at
the hotel, searched five large BAN
quet rooms rented by the Repub-
licans. The picture could not be
found.
Throughout the residential Sec
tions, few parties were apparent.
| Almost every one questioned said
they were interested" in the re-
suits, but few distinct partisians
were discovered.
At the home of w. B. O'Connell,
1901 S street NV, Mr.. O'Connell
and his wife sat in their bedroom,
listening to the returns. Mrs. O'Con-
nell knitted, and her husband half
heartedly read the paper.
Dinner Crowd Melts Away.
Their four children were in bed
or reading. There was little inter-
est among them in the returns.
Mr.. O'Connell, a lawyer, said he
hoped President Truman would win.
But he hadn't had the opportunity
to vote for him.
No more than a dozen persons
were in the Continental Restaurant,
1764 M street NV, at 11:15 pm.
The management reported "a good
dinner crowd, which slipped away
as the evening went on"
At the Old New Orleans, 1914

also was small. Election reports
there evoked no demonstration.

cal field. There had been some
doubt whether the AFL convention
next month would prolong the
leagues life, but all doubt on that
point now is removed. An AFL Off
cial remarked, as victories mounted
I'VE are in this fight to stay"
All through the long campaign the
labor political leaders remained
steadfast In their predictions that
they would upset Republican con-
troll Of both houses of Congress and
in the doing sweep the President in
for another term. They received
very little attention with the fore
casts.
The labor leaders jubilantly
scanned the returns and quickly
claimed their part in the results
and they looked to the victors to
fulfill their platform pledges.
Jack Kroll. director of the CIO-
PAC. cited the Democratic plank on
foreign service affairs as a con-
tributing factor In President Tru-
mans showing. He stressed also
the Hartley Act, the cost of
living, housing and civil rights. One
of those who predicted Democratic
control of Congress and a Truman
Barkley victory, Mr.. Kroll said:
THE people of America have
given their mandate. They look to
the Democratic Party to carry out
its platform"
George Meany, secretary of the
AFL and its Political League, speak
ir.g of the Democrats pledge to re-
peal Taft-Hartley, said:
That's our fight and we mean
to continue it. If we don't get
repeal now we're going to look for
ward to 1850.
I'VE concentrated our fire where
we were strongest" Mr.. Meany
continued. I'VE feel that we were
responsible for getting out the big
vote.
I'VE worked hard, and we feel
we were instrumental in changing
about eight Senate seats and at
least so in the House-all on the
basis of the Taft-Hartley Act"
Among the Senate casualties were
many who voted for Taft-Hartley,
including Senators Brooks of Illi-
nois, Ball of Minnesota, Revercomb
OF West Virginia and Wilson OF
Iowa. Six Senators, all from the
South, who supported the labor
law are assured of new terms,
