' Members Will Smite Down
Brazen Effrontery of PAC
Says Candidate
By Charles B. Dcgg.t
United Press Corespondent
Santa Barbara, Calif., Oct. 16
(U.R) Gov. John W. Bricker of
Ohio said today that on election
day many congress of industrial
organizations members would
"smite down" the "brazen ef
frontery" of their union's Poli
tical Action committee in trying
to dlctnte how they should vote.
The GOP vice presidential
nominee's semi-prediction coin
cided with his known readiness
to condemn only the PAC while
he bestows his blessing upon
CIO endorsement of Republican
candidates.
Oregon Contest Phase
If Bricker should try to di
vorce in his campaign the
CIO from Its PAC, position
thrust upon him by Oregon's
double senatorial contest, he
might automatically engineer his
party's national stategy Into an
open attempt to drive a wedge
between the union and its politi
cal committee.
Bricker, in a speech prepared
for delivery here today, review
ed what he had learned on the
first 7,500 miles of his nation
wide campaign.
"Many members of the CIO,"
he said, "have told me In no un
certain terms that they will
show the PAC on Nov. 7 that
they have not given up their
right to exercise a free choice
when they cast their ballots. . ,
"They are going to smite down
such brazen effrontery as the
PAC's attempt at dictation. They
are determined to exercise a free
ballot, a secret ballot, an unln
tlmldated ballot."
The laboring man, "regardless
of union affiliations," Bricker
added, "deeply resent" belngl
told whom to vote for and "re
bel at being forced to contribute
to a campaign fund for candi
dates of whom many of them do
not approve."
The nominee laid that 'liter
ally thousands" of persons had
expressed "their deep convic
tions" to him.
Morse Endorsed
Brlcker's decision to separate
the CIO from his PAC "If press
ed," It was explained, followed
his trip through Oregon where
he found himself on the stump
with Wayne Morse, former war
labor board public member,
whose Republican candidacy for
the senate Is endorsed by the
CIO and openly opposed by the
PAC. Morse, who defeated Sen.
Rufus Holman, Incumbent, In
the Oregon May primary, Is op
posed by Edgar Smith, Demo
crat. Oregon'! e e o n d senatorial
seat Is being fought over by Sen.
Guy Cordon, R., appointed In
cumbent, and Willis Mnhoncy,
D., for the remaining four years
of the late Sen. Charles E. Mc
Nary'a term.

SGT. JESS FRANCIS
OF BUTTE FALLS
GIVEN AIR MEDAL
15th AAF In Italy Sgt. Jess
F. Francis, 20, son of Mr. and
Mrs. Henry E. Francis, Butte
Falls, Ore., has been awarded
the air medal for meritorious
achievement in aerial operations
against the enemy. The award
was presented by Francis' com
manding officer. Col. A. L.
Schroeder, Glendale, Calif.
A top turret gunner on a
15th air force Liberator bomb
er, Francis has been over some
of the last strongholds of the
German war machine. "I've
been over Vienna and Munich,"
he said. "We bombed the oil re
fineries at Vienna and really did
a blazing good job on 'em. . .
The Hcinie guns nearly did as
good a iob on us. We nicked iin
a dozen flak holes, some of them
dig as stove lids. Vienna flak
is wicked stuff and it doesn't
play favorites. They don't single
you out; they Just barrage it
all over your sector of the sky
and you run into it."
Besides playing a large hand
In the total destruction of Ger
many's output in the great in
dustrial centers, Francis' group
has been knocking out roads,
bridges, rail yards and even
submarine pens throughout the
Balkans and in Greece.
Overseas since August, Fran
cis graduated from Butte Falls
high school and was Inducted
In May of 1043.

Tho New York Times, which
opposed President Roosevelt for
a third term in 1940, announced
today that It would support him
In the present campaign.
"The Republican party," the
Times said, "proposes not only
to do away with one of the fin
est of the Roosevelt administra
tion in the domestic field the
Hull trade agreements. It pro
poses also to emulate the Roose
velt administration In some of
Us worst mistakes. This has be
come Increasingly clear as Mr
Dewey's campaign has de
veloped." OLIVER

For years, Ward Week has been a tradition. Millions
of American families have awaited its coming each
Spring and Fall. Months ahead Montgomery Ward
store managers in every part of the country planned
together, bought together to make Ward Week a time
of exceptional values. Then came the war . .".with its
urgent call for materials and production. An event like
WardWeek.withitshugeassortmentsofciviliangoods,
seemed out of step with'the nation's march towards
victory. So, Ward Week was shelved . . . until now.
Today merchandise is still far from plentiful and
we urge you to buy only what you need. But once again
we can invite you to shop and save in Ward Week.
In every department of our store, you will find timely
values. See them all but, please, buy only the things
you need and let your neighbors have their share.
WEEK STARTS WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 18th

CHEST CAMPAIGN
PROCEEDING WELL
Community Chest-War Fund
directors and campaign majors
today expressed satisfaction with
the progress of the current drive
for funds at the end of the first
week of active solicitation.
"The average size of our con
tributions is consistently ahead
of last year so that even after
loss of population by reason of
Camp White reduction, we think
the quota will be reached" it
was stated by Elwood Hedberg,
secretary-treasurer. "Success
now depends entirely on secur
ing full coverage of potential
contributors by face-to-face re
quests." A last minute check of majors
and captains directing teams of
volunteer solicitors indicate the
goal of slightly under $40,000 to
be now about half-reached, while
cash actually on hand or in bank
had passed $11,000 Saturday
noon. The balance is accounted
for by pledges reported but not
