Reeve-Bartlett Debates
Proposed by McCutcheon
(Fairbanks News-Miner)
ANCHORAGE — (Special) — A
proposal that the two candidates
for Alaska’s delegate to Congress
appear in public debates to* clarify
the campaign issues came Friday
from Stanley McCutcheon, Demo
| cratic national committeeman.
McCutcheon sent a challenge
to Robert C. Reeve to appear in
| the debates sometime in Septem
I ber. He said Delegate Bartlett
; has agreed to appear.
“If the Republican candidate
is willing, the Democrats would
1 be glsd to appear in a series of
debates in various Alaska com
munities,” McCutcheon said.
, “This series would serve the
same purpose as the great Lin
coln-Douglas debates served in
Illinois. History shows that the
Illinois debates served a wonder
ful purpose. There is no reason
why our candidates in Alaska
can’t take a page out of history
and stage debates in Alaska.

Taft-Hartley Law to be
“Even More Oppressive”
Under GOP, Says Truman
NEW YORK, </P> — President
Truman told the American Fed
eration of Labor Tuesday that
plans are afoot to “make the
Taft-Hartley law even more op
pressive and unfair” to labor if
the Republicans win in November.
In a message to the AFL’s con
vention, the President said that
“special interests are already
grinding their taxes for a fresh
attack on labor in the event of a
Republican victory.”
The message was read at a ses
sion at which W. Averell Harri
man, Mutual Security Adminis
trator, was introduced as “the
next Secretary of State” by AFL
President William Green.
Harriman, who at the Demo
cratic convention in Chicago threw
his delegate strength to Adlai
Stevenson to help give him the
nomination, has often been men
tioned as a prospect for such an
appointment if the Democrats win.
The AFL plans to endorse a
presidential candidate. Yesterday
morning, a lengthy resolution to
give the endorsement to Steven
son was introduced into a com
mittee on resolutions.
