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.

Insurance Claims
Mostly Philippine
Washington, Oct. 30 (U.R)
The War Damage Corp., Uncle
Sam's wartime insurance agent,
is busy figuring out how much
it owes who as a result of three-
and-a-half years of war.
The WDC a subsidiary of the
Reconstruction Finance Corp.
issued war damage policies for a
face value of $140,000,000,000.
Only a fraction of that amount
ever will be claimed.
The largest flood of claims
probably will come from the
war-ravaged Philippines, scene
of savage fighting during the ini
tial Japanese attack and the U.
S. invasion three years later.
Claims for war damage suffer
ed in this country range from a
submarine explosion on the cast
coast to plane crashes and the
shelling of the west coast by an
enemy submarine.

RESIDENCES ARE
FOUND FOR 740
Record at the housing bureau
office, operated Jointly since the
latter part of July by the navy
and the Jackson County Cham
ber of Commerce, show that 740
families have been housed
through the bureau from July 26
until the present time according
to J. H. Atkinson, PhM 3c, navy
representative in charge of the
bureau. This was for both army
and navy, all branches, and for
both officers and enlisted men,
it was said, and included all
types of housing from rooms to
furnished houses and apartments.
Atkinson stated that this fig
ure represents transactions and
might include some duplications
on families who transferred from
one type of housing to another,
for example, from a furnished
room to an apartment.
It was announced last week
that in the future the bureau
would be operated solely by the
navy and thaf the Chamber of
Commerce representative had
been dithdrawn. It was pointed
out that while housing continues
to be a problem, the navy rep
recentative has now an exten
sive housing file and is familiar
ized with the city and local con
ditions. The Chamber of Commerce
committee, headed by J. E. Ear-
ley and Eugene Thorndlke, has
expressed its appreciation for
the "excellent work" of Mrs.
Minnie Bryant, who served as
the civilian representative at the
bureau, and also for the coopera
tion of the USO, the Outpost,
the radio and newspapers and to
the Rogue Valley Bus company
which has provided desk space
for the bureau at its terminal.
The bureau will continue to
operate from the bus terminal
and will handle both navy and
army personnel, it was stated.

TIRE QUOTAS TO
Passenger tire and large size
truck tire quotas for November
will be the same as for October
according to information given
out by J. R. Keefer, OPA dis
trict tire rationing representa
tive. The November quota of
small truck tires, size 7.50 and
under was reduced, Keefer said,
a reduction of 150,000 tires for
replacement uses having been
forced by a combination of
heavy demand and a smaller in
crease in production than was
anticipated.
The passenger tire shortage
continues acute, with demand
far exceeding available supplies,
OPA states. OPA local boards
are being advised to continue to
screen all applications carefully
to assure that drivers needing
cars to reach or perform their
jobs are supplied first.
