/ New York, Yates of Illinois, ana
Chudoff of Pennsylvania.
Judge Abraham A. RibicOff was
voted "the most able legislator in
the Connecticut Assembly" by
neWsmen who had covered him
during his two terms in the state
capitol. Born in New Britain,
Connecticut, some 80 years ago, he
had come to the legislature by
way of the University of Chicago
Law School where he graduated
cum laude in 1888.
In 1941, after his terms in the
Assembly, he was appointed a
Judge of the Hartford Police Court
and in 1915 was reappointed to
that post. In 1947 he was ap-
pointed to a five-year term as
Hearing Examiner under the Con-
necticut Fair Employment Prac-
tees Act.
For a freshman Congressman,
Rep. Ribicoff has pulled himself
plum in the way of an assign
ment to the House Foreign AZ
fairs Committee. International re-
latiOns are the most important is
sue facing our nation today" he
says, pointing for illustration to
the way our whole domestic econ
Omic program is tied up with the
advancement of our foreign policy.
Another matter "of prime i'm
portance," he says, is slum clear
ance and low cost housing. "The
American family is our greatest
asset" he says, "but you can't
bring up people as responsible citi-
zens in a democracy if they get a
bad start" During his years on the
bench, he points out, he had am
pie opportunity to see the rela-
tionship of bad environment to
juvenile crime.
Rep. IsadOre Dollinger succeed
ed to the office held by Rep. Leo
IsaacsOn. He comes to the House
with a solid backing of legisla-
tive experience acquired during
his eight years in the New York
State Assembly and four years as
a New York State Senator.
