|CI0 Expected 10 Back
Truman, Concentrate
On Congress Races
BY the As,esiaisd Prssx

The CIO seemed practically
certain today to throw its sup
port behind President Truman
in the November election.
But unless the trend is reversed
both the CIO and AFL figure to
spend = great deal more time in
efforts to elect labor-supporting
Congress members than In trying to
put over the Truman-Barkley ticket.
The CIO called its 51-member
Executive Board into session today
to act officially on the subject Of
political Endorsements. The top
leadership already has come out,
8 to l, for Mr.. Truman.
While the AFL steered clear of
a formal Endorsement, federation
leaders agreed last week to form
a committee to back the Democra-
tic presidential TICKET.
Commend Barkley's Record.
The presence of Senator Barkley
Of Kentucky as Mr.. Truman's run
ming mate made things easy for the
CIO to follow a similar course, al
though some of its leaders are more
inclined to back Henry Wallace's
third party bid. =
Senator Barkley got a 100 per
cent" rating when the CIO looked
over the legislative record at the
close of the regular session of Con-
gress.
He was one of five Senators vot-
ing the way the CIO thinks is right
on all Is issues it listed as critical.
No Republican attained that Sc
lect list. 1t was completed with
the names of Senator McGrath, the
Democratic national chairman; his
Rhode Island colleague, Senator
Green, and Senators Murray of
Montana and OMahoney of Wyom-
ing, all Democrats.
Love Dewey Less.
There was some evidence that the
expected CIO Endorsement of Mr..
Truman involves the case of choos-
ing candidate not because the
union loves him so we'll but because
it loves his chief opponent less.
Hence many politicians look for
most of the union fire to be aimed
at electing labor hackers to Con-
gress, rather than at the presiden-
tial contest.
An indication of the stress the
Democrats are laying on their ap-
peals to union members was seen in
the announcement that nine party
leaders in addition to Mr.. Truman
will deliver Labor Day speeches next
Monday.
They are: Secretary of Labor To-
bin at Akron, Ohio; Secretary OF
Agriculture Brannan at Faribault
Mimi; Attorney General Clark at
Des Moines, Iowa; Secretary of the
Army Royal at Birmingham, Ala;
Undersecretary of Labor John w
Gibson at Duluth, MINI: Senator
Pepper of Florida at Boynton Beach
Fla; Senators Kilgore of West Vir-
ginia and Murray of Montana at
Great Falls, Mont. and Senator
McGrath in Rhode Island.
The President opens his campaign
formally with a major address at
Detroit that day and four others in
Michigan.
The Republican National Com
mittee said Harold E. Stassen, for
mer Minnesota Governor and un-
successful candidate for the Repub-
lican presidential nomination, will
answer" Mr.. Truman in a Nation
wide radio broadcast Tuesday night
from Detroit.

Hatch Sees Campaign
Costing Far Above IA
Peak Of $22,OO0,0OO
BY the Associated Press

In step with most other costs,
this years presidential campaign
probably will hit record peak well
above $22,ooo,ooO.
So says Senator Hatch, Democrat,
OF New Mexico, an expert on such
costs. He Is the author of the So
called "Clean-Politics" Act of 1899,
which places a 100000 limit on
annual campaign expenditures by
any national party and a $4,000 lid
on the amount any individual can
contribute to one political organi-
zation.
But during the 1914 and 1910
presidential campaigns about S22,-
000,00 was reported spent on each
one.
Costs Of the campaign this year
are bound to be higher" Senator
Hatch said.
Higher Costs Cited.
He cited higher costs Of hotel
bills, printing, travelling, advertis-
ing and radio time.
Declaring that obviously the
Hatch Act is full of loopholes as
far as limiting political expendi-
lures is concerned" the New Mexico
Senator added:
Personally, I'd like to see the
act amended to plug these loopholes.
The limit should be broad enought
and liberal enough so that it could
be enforced"
But Senator Hatch is leaving this
Job to other lawmakers He is re-
tiring voluntarily from the Senate
at the end of this year.
Furthermore, Senator Hatch SAID
the definite limit on expenditures
was not his idea. 1t was added by
the Senate during his battle for
some law to prevent "any party from
perpetuating itself in Government
by political activity or influence
through Government workers"
1.-THE expenditures limits always
have been evaded and they always
will be until revised" Senator Hatch
said.
Methods Explained.
Both major parties have utilized
special organizations, such as candi-
dates backing clubs, independent
committees, and the various State
committees to spend more than the
100000 annual limit. Each group
is entitled to the limit.
Senator Hatch says this is legal
but in his view, open to question.
For instance, there is little point
to $1,000 limit upon individual
contributions" he said, when
voter can give this to the national
committee, each of the independent
committees and the 48 State COM
mittees."
But Senator Hatch believes the
"clean politics law" has been more
effective than the public realizes"
Il think most of those abuses we
heard so much about when millions
Of persons were getting Government
checks through relief programs have
disappeared" he said
The law prohibits Government
workers from contributing to polit-
ical campaigns or taking part in
politics. Officials who attempt to
Use such influence can be fined and
sent to jail. Workers can lose their
jobs for violations.
