Irwin, former administrative assistant to Mr. Nixon, introduced Mr. Smith to an attorney in the Justice Department’s tax division and since then “some progress” has been made on Mr. Smith's claim. The incident occurred a little more than a year ago, while Mr. Smith was administering the Nixon fund, the Post-Disptach said. Mr. Smith listed himself as a $300 contributor to the fund.

Mrs. Fetty suffered deep cuts to her face when her head crashed through the windshield of a car in a traffic accident Sundays In critical condition until today, Mrs. Fetty had pleaded for her husband, Cpl.

The Voters Speak—
Broad Changes Seen
In Balloting
Pattern
, By SAMUEL LUBELL : Whatever the outcome of this November's election, the responses of the hundreds of voters I have been talking with in the last two months make one thing clear —the pattern of this year’s balloting will be markedly
different from that of four years ago. New issues have arisen and and new emotions have been stirred which are cut-ting--a-¢ 10-8 and altering— often in unexpected ways— the lines of which prevailed in 1948. Most important ‘of : i these new issues — both Mr. Lubell largely products of the Korean war-—are the draft and the rise in prices and taxes. Their impact can perhaps best be judged from the fact that they are breaking the partly allegiance of even persons who have never voted for a Republican president before.
In Detroit, for example, I spent most of one day in a predominantly Polish-American precinct near St. Hedwig's Church which went five to one Democratic four years ago. Rentals in this- neighborhood run around $85 a month. Almost all the residents are workers,
Of 26 Democratic families interviewed, six said they would vote for Gen. Eisenhower. Mostly they voiced one ori both of two complaints—against prices or taxes, and against the drafting of their sons or brothers
for “a useless war,” 31301
“We're going to get a three cents an hour raise because taxes are going up but what
good is it,” complained one auto .
worker. Everything goes up faster than our wages. It would be better if both wages and prices came down.”
The Democrats keep piling too many taxes on the working man,” stormed another worker, “These politicians live off us. They've got to stop Kicking us around.” The overwhelming bulk of workers are sticking with the Democrats. Many who complain about prices and taxes go on to contrast their present situation with the joblessness of the
{| 1930's and decide, “why change
when I'm working steady?” But the race of prices and thcomes has left a sizable minority of workers considerably worse off economically then | they were four years ago. The
resulting political discontent seems sharpest among those with large families, widows and retired persons and government workers. At Bottom of Works “You're at the bottom of the works when you work for the government,” complained one Chicago letter carrier who was shifting for Gen. Eisenhower. “By the time you get a wage boost it doesn’t mean anything. Prices at-the stores have already risen more than the raises we get.”
On Price Hill in Cincinnati a | retired fireman had decided to .
“give:the other fellows a chance and if they don’t do better I'm going to stop voting.” Mounting living expenses had forced him to sell his automobile. “Maybe that wasn’t wise,” he said. “They've raised carfares so much it might have been cheaper to keep the car. I've had to give up cheming tobacco. I used to chew a pack a day. Now I chew gum.”
In Los Angeles, a retired grocer from Salem, Ore,, was buying cheaper foods to make ends meet. “I was for Roosevelt every time and for President Truman,” he told me, “But now there is too much spending, I
don’t get a social security pen- |
sion because I was in business for myself. But how long will my savings last if this inflation keéps up?”

“of those fellows who ever could
save, but I had to spend my vacation in the city this year. I'vehad fo give up my beer. That hurts, I don't see why anyone wouldn't want a change.” In the farm belt, too, inflation has been cutting into the Democratic ranks. Farm tenants, for example,

First Time A Convention Ever Gave OK
Green Renamed For 29th Term
By United Press NEW YORK, Sept. 23 — The Tlst annual American Federation of Labor convention unanimously adopted today a report urging the 8,098,302
AFL members to vote for Adlai E. Stevenson for President.
The indorsement was the first by an AFL convention since the
a presidential ticket since 1924. However, the indorsement of the late Robert M. LaFollette Sr. Progressiye' candidate, in that year was by the executive council and not by convention vote.
The vote today came after the delegates had given a one-minute cheering reception to the report, prepared by the executive council, which said that Mr. Stevenson “inspires our full confidence.”
Shouted. Down
When ‘AFL President William Green asked for remarks, one delegate began to talk about labor unity, but he was shouted down and ruled out of order. Mr. Green called for a standing vote of the delegates, nope rose in opposition. f However, a few delegates, including some in the Carpenters Union section and some in the Pulp, Sulphite and Paper Mill Workers section did not rise to vote in approval. When there were no negative votes, Mr. Green declared the adoption unanimous,
‘Advises, Urges’ The report, although ‘advising and urging” every AFL member Ito vote for Mr. Stevenson, said ithat the executive council empha‘sizes that AFL affiliated unions and every one of their members (“are free to make their own individual ‘political decisions without any compulsion on our part.” Following adoption of the report, the convention unanimously elected William Green to his 29th term as AFL president. Mr. Green, who will be 80 years
president since the death of Samuel Gompers in 1924.
