LABOR PARTY IN 19407 WORKING FOR ROOSEVELT "J EFFERSONIA N DEMOCRATS" REPORT OF THE HOLC RELIEF AND WPA JOBS REPUBLICAN OPTIMISM THIRD PARTY'S EFFECT WINANT ON SOCIAL SECURITY TWO UNCERTAIN FACTORS By Hugo Sims, Washington Correspondent Acceptinng as a fact that there will be "a new political alignment" before the 1940 election, Labor's Non-Partisan League, at its meet ing in Washington, formed a perma nent body, thus planting the seed ol a possible new party in the United States. The significance of this event should not be overlooked by those interested in future political progress in this country.

While the League was sponsored last April by outspoken supporters of President Roosevelt, it is worth noting that Major George L. Ber ry, chairman, is not aligned with either side of the dispute which threatens to tear apart the Ameri can Federation of Labor. Delegates freely predicted that Labor would hold the balance of power this year in West Virginia, Pennsylvania, New York, Illinois and Kentucky and, if proper organization is achieved, might reach the same conditio^ in other states.
