DEAR BOSS—By Daniel Mm. Kidney
WASHINGTON, May 15—Dear Boss This ‘work News,” published at Phil Murray's headquarters here, got out what might be called an Indiana special edition. It is full of pictures and several pages of text concerning | the prospects for CIO-PAC backed political candidates which { appear under this headline: “PAC—It's Clicking in Indiana.” The piece resulted from a sort of “horseback survey” of the state made hy CIO News correspondent Arthur Riordan. He toured the state with [Bartley Brown, Indiana PAC direct, in “Brother Brown's car.’
Of the 11 Hoosier Congressmen, only two get PAC approval. Théy aré Repg4Ray Madden, Gary, and Louis Ludlow, Indianapolis, both Democrats. The nine Republicans rate thumbs down.
See Trend in Feeney Victory
“ALL INDIANAPOLIS CIO people deeply regret the dnability, because of ill health, of Congressman Ludlow to run for re-
election,” Mr. Riordan writes. “However, they feel that last fall's chances of James Noland, Mr.
mayoralty election is an indication of how the job can be done this fall. “Last fall, Al Feeney—he played center on the: Notre Dame + team of which Knute Rockne was the star end-—was elected Mayor by 8000 votes. He had full PAC backing.” | So while.labeling the loss of Mr. Ludlow as a “sharp blow to the liberal remnant in Congress” the writer concludes that in the 11th District “the Democratic candidate to succeed him is considered a good choice.”

“Since there is little labor here, a defeat for Wilson would be an upset.” In the Second District, Mr. Riordan foiind that “Bt. Joseph County PAC definitely does not like Rep. Grant” and reports that Mayor George Schock of South Bend is going to help them replace Rep. Grant with a Democrat, PAC indorsed Chester Watson who was defeated in the Fourth District Democratic primary by Edward H. Kruse Jr, who has “pledged himself to much of the PAC's program.” And In
the Fifth District, “Kokomo and Anderson PACers do not ike “a ClO-backed Mayor won and .
Rep. Harness.” In Anderson, swept into Council nine labor men, including six from CIO.”
Where Brewery Union Votes
“STATE SEN. Walter Vermillion, who has served the ared for 18 years, is also counsel for the UAW local” At Terre Haute “the home town pf Gene Debs,” Mr. Riordan learned that the Brewery Workers Union has a rule requiring, members to vote in elections. He hopes this will ‘help unseat Rep. Noble Johnson. ” His conclusion in the Seventh District: ‘The Democratic Party seems somewhat hopeful ‘over the Landis’ Democratic opponent. PAC is keeping a close eye on this area.”
