Dec 29 (VP) — Daniel J Tobin, president of the International Brotherhood of Teamsters (AFL), charging that religious groups sought a dominating influence In labor unions, said today that "under no circumstance* should we allow religious cliques ' of any kind within the organization of labor.'" “Now. when labor is in the ascendancy and or some importance ' in the nation, we have different bran, hex ot the church endeavoring to creep in,“ Tobin said "Eventually they will look tor a dominating Influence within the labor unions, through the back I door." Writing in the January issue of the International Teamster, official ; publication of the union, Tobin said that the right to select one’s - own church was "the privilege and I purpose and foundation of organized labor " "There is, however, a danger of I sects and divisions and cliques i creeping in. which undoubtedly | •' will germinate into serious divis- .' ion a* time goes on This happen- ■! ed iu Germany and other countries i of Europa." he *aid. Tobin said that clergymen were ' "our nio*t bitter opponent* in the i days when we wen- struggling to i tome to life and fighting oppies*i. Ion." He added that there was no obt j jectlon to a teamster joining any i j club In his church—"but don't use r the name of the teamster*' union," • Tobin advised I "You need not be afraid of of- • fending your clergyman by telling • him the union I* created and is established (or the purpose of disf establishing religious hatreds and ■ prejudices." he said. > Tobin declared that the union i' has fought communist* and other l i*m*. “not because w« In any way > de*pl*« Ru»iis." i "On the contrary, wo adtftlre Ru«- • ala and we believe they have mads I th* fronted sacrifice* in thia way » of guy of ’bo gv*s» natlrvns." bw Mid.

The primary method and the convention method appeared to have equal support in a sampling of views of legislators who meet here Jan 4 for a two-month biennial regular session In a Vnited Press survey of the private opinions of state senators and representative*, views were fairly equally divided three ways Among them were I Support tor the present nominating system of county and district primaries to select local nominees. and the convention method of c hoosing state ticket nominees 2. Support for continuance- ot the state convention syutem an-T abandonment of the county pi 1inary system in favor of a county nominating convention 3, Support for primaries in both the counties and the state, | There was a slight preponderance of sentiment in favor of tre 100 percent primary system among Democrats reac hi d in the poll, but among Republicans in both the «enate and the house, the convention and primary methods were given almost equal approval Some legislators were undecided and other* declined to express themselves.
