Democrat could win. Mr. Tobin: is a member of the xecutive Board of the American ederation of Labor and was a ember of the “peace” committee

esighed to end the strife between

e A. F. of L. and the C. 1. O. His ‘statement was printed in a signed editorial in the April issue of the Brotherhood’s official manazine which will bé mailed to mem‘bers tomorrow.

' Editorial Quoted The editorial said: 5 “Roosevelt is the only Democrat who can beat Dewey in New York. Pennsylvania is going back to the

_ Republicans. Roosevelt cannot carry}

it again unless war prevails. In}

Indiana, Illinois or Ohio, if a state’ election was held at this time, the}

Republicans would win. “If conditions do not change from what they are now it would be ai three-to-one bet that those states and several other states that voted the Democratic ticket in 1932 and 1636 would go Republican. “It is my judgment that the present Administration’ has done all that was humanly possible to relieve the unemployment and that it has relieved unemployment substantially. - If Franklin D. Roosevelt is not a candidate, with the unanimous backing of the Democratic and liberaf leaders throughout the nation, you can rest assured that most of the Democrats, liberals and New Dealers who are seeking re-election, will go down in defeat.

_in eur history. “Will the Democrats in ‘their convention in July indorse Franklin D. Roosevelt? ‘My answer is: Yes: That is, unless he emphatically advises them that ‘under no circumstances will he accept the nomina tion, and with the world as it is just now, I do not think President Roosevelt will give such an emphatic, determined refusal. “Will he be ‘elected? My answer is: Yes, but not with the majority he received in 1932.and 1936. “Will Labor support him? | Yes, Labor must support him because it has no other place to go where it! “could expect as much protection and | consideration. How can the C. I. O. leadership line up with an institution which has as collector in its campaign a man of the type of Mr. Weir, (Ernest Weir) a steel magnate who has spent all his life building up a fund which if needed |i

« ‘Others Not Always Honest’

“There may be some leaders in|

the A. F. of L. and in the C| I.

" bership. 5 “This does not mean for one mo-

ment that there are not thousands

- of men who support liberal Repub-

lican candidates in their states and who are honestly supporting: them because they are disgusted with the state and local Democratic machines.” ; Mr. Tobin added that labor could not afford to “take a chance with some reactionary or even with a liberal Republican . who. will be standing on a platform composed,

teed by men of the type of Mr. Weir and his ilk.”

CEILING URGED ON CASH SPENT IN CAMPAIGNS

House Group May Approve “$3,000,000 Top’ Provision in Hatch Act.

By CHARLES T. LUCEY Times Special Writer

WASHINGTON, March 28. —The House Judiciary Committee may act today on a Hatch. bill that is strong enough to alter drastically the conduct of the coming Presidential campaign. Under the bill as it was’ reported

favorably yesterday by a Judiciary

Subcommittee, the Republican and National Committees would be forced to get along with millions of dollars less than in past Presidential years. * In the 1936 campaign the Repub-

|licans spent more than $8,000,000

and the Democrats more than $5,000,000. But an amendment sponsored by Rep. Francis E. Walter (D.

| Pa.), subcommittee chairman, would

limit one year’s campaign expenditures to $3,000,000.

Hatch Supports Change

Both Senator Carl A. Hatch (D¢ N. M.), author of the legislation, and Rep. John J. Dempsey (D. N. M.), its House sponsor, indorsed the amendment. Mr. Hatch said it was “in accord with my idea of reducing campaign expenditures,” and Rep. Dempsey favored “putting all the teeth possible into the bill,” The Walter amendment followed the pattern of a Senate amendment, sponsored by Senator John H. Bank-

head (D. Ala.), which limits indi-|

vidual campaign contributions. to $5000 a year.

In adidtion to these fund limita-|

tions, the bill prohibits political activities by state and local employees

paid with Federal funds. The Hatch|"

Act of 1939 forbids political activities by Federal jobholders.

= Favorable Report Expected Rep. Walter said he believed that

a favorable report to the House by the full Judiciary Committee was almost certain. Rep. Hatton Sumners (D. Tex.), committee chairman, was reluctant to predict how

Bares italian Tendency To Swing to Nazis.

(Everett R. Holles, United Press staff correspondent, was the only préss association representative ' to accompany ! Sumner Welles.)

By EVERETT R. HOLLES United Press Stail Correspondent NEW YORK, March 28.—Sumner Welles returned today from his tour of Europe's war capitals carrying a small brown case crammed with confidential reports for President Roosevelt. I accompanied the American Undersecretary of State every step of the way. Mr. Welles isn’t talking for the record. But for any one who followed every phase of his inquiry into conditions in the belligerent countries and in Italy certain trends can be reported now which must have affected the American diplomat’s conclusions. |

Trends Indicated

These trends—sometimes clouded abroad by censorship or other restrictions—are indicated by the following observations based on EuroMr. Welles’ visit: 1. Premier Benito Mussolini for the last. three weeks had been giving many Europeans the impression that ne believes Germany now has a chance to win the war. For almost the first time. since the conflict started last El the Italian press (always under orders) | is boasting again of the Rome-Ber-lin alliance and is of the word “axis.” 2. The Allies’ are confident they are winning air | superiority over Germany—and they have barely tapped their resources or manpower which are being organized to wage a war of eight or 10 years if necessary.

3. Allied confidence in the early effectiveness of their blockade of the Reich is less strong than it was two months ago, due largely to the still unanswered question "of how great a role Soviet Russia can or will play. in the al showdown, 4.

By JOE ALEX MORRIS Times Foreign Editor

Neutral nations of Europe moved with increased vigor today to protect themselves from involvement in

the war, . Dutch fighter planes shot down & British bombing plane over the Netherlands and Norway interned the crew of a German submarine which had grounded in territorial waters. . In each in8tance the action by the neutral nation constituted, in effect, an answer .to belligerent: protests against failure to prevent violations of neutrality. The Allies currently are tightening their watch on Norwegian territorial waters, contending they are being used by Germany to minimize the Allied blockade. And Germany has warned the Netherlands not to allow British planes to fly over the neutral low country en route to Germany. London’ indicated there probably would be no protest over the downing of the British plane by Dutch fighters although one British airman apparently lost his life in the incident.
