Freshman Senators Benton; Darby
Future GOP, Democratic Leaders?
WASHINGTON VP) Two freshmen who may be heard from in
the future are coming here in January to sit on opposite sides of
the political dividing line in the Senate.
They are William Benton of Connecticut and Harry Darby of
Kansas, , .
Benton, a political independent, said he will sit with and vote
with the Democrats. He replaces Republican Senator Raymond
Baldwin, who resigned to take a state court post.
Darby, republican national
committeeman for Kansas, suc
ceeds the late Republican Senator
Clyde Keed.
Ahead of their arrival, Benton
and Darby appointments have
started politicians talking about
tne political luiures 01 ine com
paratively young men who will
be sitting in Congress for the
first time, Benton is 49 and
Darby 54.
Neither has ever been elected
to public office, but both have
been In the political turmoil to
the point where some of their
friends think they may have a
future in national service.
Butler Lauds Darby
For Instance, Senator Butler
(R-Neb) told a reporter it
wouldn't be too difficult for him
to vlzuallze Darby as a vice presi
dential possibility in law.
As Kansas national committee
man, Darby has made a lot of
friends among republicans. Al
though he supported former Na
tional Chairman Hugh D. Scott,
Jr. in first a winning and then
a losing battle by Scott to retain
his job, Darby came out friends
with the opposition.
In fact, he might have been
GOP national chairman if he
hadn't refused to become a com
promise candidate. Refusing, he
said he had to stick to his job as
head of a steel plate manufactur
ing firm in Kansas City, Kan.
' Darby has Indicated he won't
run for the Senate in 1950, leav
ine that slot oDen for Gov. Frank
Carlson, who appointed him. But
friends say there isn't any reason
why Darby can't remain In the
national picture as a GOP com
mitteeman. Hot Political Race -
Benton, well known around
Congress, Is stepping Into a hot
political race in Connecticut. He
and Senator McMahon (D-Conn)
are expected to team up as the
democratic candidates for the two
senatorial posts open in that state
next year.
Former Rep. Clare Boothe Luce
and Rep. John David Lodge are

Portland Not Only City
Facing Finance Problem
PORTLAND-UP) Portland Is
not alone in Its money trouble,
Mayor Dorothy Lee says.
Mayor Lee said most cities
represented at the just ended
American Municipal association
convention reported they, too,
were running short of revenue.
"Most cities seem agreed that
the best way to raise revenue
under existing circumstances,"
she said, "is either a net Income
tax, a gross revenue tax, or a
sales tax."
The problem of racketeering
drew attention at the Cleveland
convention, too, Mayor Lee said,
A committee was appointed to
consider setting up an inter city
organization ior exenange oi in
formation on racketeers.
Frequently we arrest a man
and learn that he has served
time In some prison, the mayor
explained, "but we don't know

mentioned as possible candidates.
Benton's appointment by his
old friend Gov. Chester Bowles
was hailed by Democratic Na
tional Chairman William M.
Boyle,' Jr., as one that will serve
"the best interests ot the liberal,
progressive policies of the demo
cratic administration."
Benton already has met some
of his new senatorial colleagues
from across the table, when he
served as assistant secretary of
state for publio affairs from Sep
tember, 1945, until September,
1947. .
Some of these same colleagues
took him over the jumps for his
sponsorship of the state depart
ment's "Voice of America" radio
broadcasts to foreign countries.
Despite the controversy in con
gress, however, Benton won ap

Refusal To Deal
On Pensions Is
Charged By Union
WASHINGTON UP) The
CIO's Communications Workers
charged the Bell Telephone sys
tem companies with refusing to
bargain on pensions. .
The charges were filed with
the National Labor Relations
board.
They are based on the recent
actions of the American Tele
phone and Telegraph company
and its affiliates in changing
their pension plan for workers.
The change boosted minimum
pensions for employes retiring at
age 65 from $50 a month, less
one-half social security payments,
to iuu a montn, less an social
security payments. Employes re
tiring before 65 were guaranteed
a $75 monthly pension.
The CWA said the changes
were put into effect without con
sulting the union at a time when
the union was bargaining with
Bell companies for $100 monthly
pensions in addition to social security.
The A. T. &T. said In a state
ment it had made the rjension
changes In accordance with the
plan itself, in effect since 1913.
This, it said, gives the company
the right to make changes from
time to time.
CWA headquarters said its di
visions were filing 34 separate
unfair labor practice charges'
