Top Union Leaders Favor Democrats Want Endorsement By Union Council FOREST Pa. (UP) — AFL-CIO sources said today that the top leaders of their lb-million-member organisation are moving closer to an endorsement of the Democrats’ 1956 presidential ticket. The AFL-ClO's 28 member executive council, gathered here at a union-owned mountain resort, was expected to discuss today the question of whether the organisation should take a stand in the presidential race. AFL - CIO president George Meany was reported to be cool to the idea of handing the organisation's political blessing out this year. But eight of the council’s 28 members including the heads of some of the most powerful unions in the AFL-CIO, are openly committed to supporting the Stevenson • Kefauver ticket. Almost all members were reported leaning toward the Democratic ticket. David Dubinsky, president of the International Ladies' Garment Workers and a council member, told reporters he is “solidly backing" the idea of an AFL-CIO endorsement for the Democratic ticket and predicted that the council will go along. Walter Reuther, bead of the United Auto Workers, a strong Stevenson - Kefauver supporter, also was expected to urge the action. The council is not expected to make an endorsement itself. Dubinsky and other officials said the council probably will schedule a meeting of the general board — which includes heads of all 132 AFL-CIO unions—in time to make an endorsement. The council could either recommend that the board make an endorsement or simply put the question on the board's agenda The political discussion, taking place at the resort, called “Unity House,” was expected to produce some disunity. In addition to Meany's reported coolness. • several council members were expected to oppose endorsement action. Dave Beck, president ot the giant Teamsters Union, has said he thinks the AFL-CIO should leave such action up to the individual unions. Beck supported President Eisenhower in 1952.
