TOWARD IIKITBLICANS
WASHINGTON, July 28. As every
one knows, the American Labor party
In New York ts a confederation of
organized workers and liberal Intel
lectuals, constituting a powerful In
dependent vote. It was born of the
New Deal, and Its members are New
Dealers,, not Democrats. And It is
now on the verge of an open break
with New York's Democratic orga
nizations. Already, in New York City, the
Labor party has made a trade with
the Republicans, uniting on a half
breed ticket for the state legisla
ture. Labor party leaders, in an
' nounclng the deal, admitted frankly
that snubs by the Democrats had
driven them Into the Republicans'
arms. They proclaimed themselves
still faithful New Dealers, and swore
that their New York City trade was
a strictly local matter.
Actually, however, the incident is K
remarkably significant symbol of the
bitter conflict between, organization
Democrats and the New Deal's left
wing allies. And In spite of the lead
ers' protestations, there is a chance
that the Incident will be repeated
on a larger scale In the future.
Within In the Labor party, there
are two powerful wings, one led by
Sidney Hlllman of the Amalgamated
Clothings Workers, and the other by
David Dublnsky of the International
Ladies Garment Workers. The Hlll
man wing la most strongly pro-New
Deal and wholly loyal to the CIO
The Dublnsky wing is chilly to the
C.I.O., ambitious, and Independent
minded. As It happens, the able and ego
tistical Dirhlnsky is close to Tom
Dewey, New York City's mass pro
duction St. George. The pressure Is
strong on the crusading young dis
trict attorney to accept the Repub
lican gubernatorial nomination.
Dewey himself Is seriously consi del
ing It. And Dublnsky is making
no secret of his Inclination to sup
port Dewey, if Dewey runs.
Dublnsky is telling his friends that

Understanding Makes Vast

WASHINGTON, July 28. (AP)
Secretary Ickes said today with the
help of RFC a millions the public
works program might be expanded
to provide another (250,000,000 worth
of construction.
He made the estimate at his
press conference In reply to ques
tions about his new working agree
ment with Jesse H. Jones, chairman
of the Reconstruction Finance cor
poration. WASHINGTON, July 28. (AP) A
working agreement between RFO and
PWA officials opened a path today
to vast new public works In the
administration's spending - lending
program.
The understanding provides the
reconstruction finance corporation
make Its lendable $1,600,000,000 avail
able for loans on projects receiving
grants from PWA's $050,000,000.
Thus, PWA can reserve all its
funds for grants Instead of divid
ing allotments between loans and
grants, as has been the practice.
Doubles PWA Dollars
The decision, announced last night
by Chairman Jesse Jones of the RFC,
has the potential effect of more
than doubling PWA's dollar-power.
Secretary Ickes, as director of
PWA, thus far has allotted $562,261,-
129 In loans and grants, well over
half of the money available.
The indicated immediate affect
of the two-agency action was to
make possible certain large under
takings which PWA has been disin
clined to approve for two general
reasons: The amount of funds re
quired, and the time needed for
completion.
Talk of three specific projects was
revived. They are :
A $70,000,000 tunnel In New York
City linking the southern tip of
Manhattnn Island with Brooklyn.
A $60,000,000 "all-weather" high-!
way across Pennsylvania.
A $36,000,000 subway under Chi
cago's downtown area. '
The RFC was empowered by con
gress last spring to lend $1,600,000.-1
000 to states cities and business men.
Offlclsls explained RFC's participa
tion with PWA would be confined
to revenue -producing projects, where
tolls or rentals would pay off the
loans.
