TEN MEDFORD MAIL-TRIBUNE ruesday, Oct. 30. 1943 SEEKS ELECTIONS U.S. Communists Believe World . Trend Toward Left in Near Future; Europe Cited By Lyle C. Wilion (United Press Correspondent) Washington, Oct. 30 (U.R) The Communist party is making political medicine today in at least four big American cities where municipal elections win take place next month. It may surprise you to know that you may have a chance soon to vote for or against a com munist candidate for office in your own home town. If there is no communist candidate, then you are likely in any large city to have a chance to vote on the meriis of a communist-sponsored nceker of high municipal office if not this year, then probably next. The communists believe they see a world political trend to the left. In support of their belief are the dominance of the Soviet Union in eastern Europe, the enormous gains of the com munist party in the French elec tions and the landslide by which socialists won control of his majesty's government In Great Britain. Gats CIO Support Right now a communist named Arnold Johnson has Cleveland, O., In a dither by his candidacy for membership on the municipal school board Johnson seeks, and apparently is getting, some Congress of In dustrial Organization and poli tical action committee support. He is state chairman of the com munist party in Ohio. Otis A. Hood carries the com munist colors in Boston's muni cipal Nov. 6 elections. Hood wants to be a member of the Boston school committee. Ho is a communist party member and Is so described in the party's publications. In Detroit the communists are aggressively supporting the may oralty candidacy of Richard T. Frankenstccn, a smartly able leader of the United Automobile Workers and of the CIO. Frank enstccn is not a communist but he is the first labor leader to go for top office in Detroit. Detroit Testing Ground If a left wing coalition is un able to elect a first rate cam paigner In the homo town of the United Automobilo Workers, where the negro vote is a very Important factor and where there Is a lot of current dissatis faction with wages, reconversion and such, it is not likely that such a candidate could be elected anywhere Biggest ' communist stakes probably are In New York City. There the American labor party Is battling to continue its balance of power position. Since early in the development of the now deal-democratic coalition creat ed by the late Franklin D. Roose velt, the ALP balance of power has assured the party of an In fluential place in slate and city politics. The ALP often is dom inated by communists and g'.ild- ed by the community party line, Council Seats Objective Top objectives for New York City communists and the ALP are three seats on the city coun cil for Benjamin J. Davis, Jr , a negro officer of the communist party, and for Peter V. Cacchi- one and Michael Quill, who uni formly follow the communist party line. New York communists are a bit embarrassed but not silenced by the fact that William O'Dwy er, mayoralty nominee of the democratic and American labor parties, denounced and rejected communist support in no uncer tain language. The communists are for him, anyway. More pro perly they are against the repub lican candidate, Jonah J. Gold stein, and the "no deal" mayor alty entry, Newbold Morris. F.C. AS PRESIDENT OF ST.
