GOP Seeking To Woo Labor Vote To Party Republicans Seek r Support Os Labor For Fall Election WASHINGTON (VP) — George ' I, Bloom, new Pennsylvania Repub- ; lican chairman, is urging party : county leaders in his state to rei emit rank - and - file labor union i members into the party organizaI tion. His action is one example of J quiet efforts reported in a 1 number of tvro-party industrial states ■to court the labor vote, t The GOP moves have been en;.eouraged by the jartyX national i headquarters, which is understood ;to have two field men advising the state organizations how to ap- ■ peal to rank - and - file union | members, i Other political developments: The Democratic convention ari rangements committee gathered in . Chicago today to select a keynote i speaker for the Democratic conI vention. Among those mentioned for the job were Govs. Frank Clement of Tennessee, Edmund Muskie of Maine, George Leader of Pennsyl- ■ vania and Robert B. Meyner of i New Jersey; Sens. Hubert Hum* • phrey tjtflnn.). Paul Douglas (Ill.), John F. Kennedy (Mass.) and Robert Kerr (Okla.) Kentucky Gov. A. B. Chandler said Sunday he believes Adlai Stevenson is “a bit weaker’’ as a ♦ete-get ter than he was four years ago while President Eisenhower is “just as strong.” New York Mayor Robert Wagner told a news conference Sunday at Asheville. N. C., that he is not actively seeking the Democratic vice presidential nomination but I is available for it if offered. A United Press survey showed today that Stevenson still is ahead of other Democratic contenders with 36S’(, indicated, first - ballpt ■ convention votes-. 'Sen.

Blootn wrote his county [chairmen to ask all members of ■ county ■ Republican committees whether they, or any members of J j their families . belong to unions. , He also wanted the committee ■ "members to report the names of GOP unionists in various precincts. . He suggested that these names could' provide the nucleus for'rank- ■ ami-file labor committees in the counties. Most of .labor’s organized pollt--4 ibaV activity has been thrown be-. candidates. But Republicans have questioned whether union leaders could “deliver” a labor vote and have claim- . ed evidence of a pickup in labor support for GOP candidates. Since iminy of the ranking union leaders have been politically- active for the Democrats, the. COP has looked toward the rank-and-file.

A sizeable portion of the reservists come from Chicago To Glenview for weekend training.
