Assemblyman Charles H.

The league unanimously adopted resolutions felicitating M.

Capital Ruildina. By Ml'RRAY SNYDER Albany. March 5 New York City Democrat are trying to put the American Labor Party out of business. A bill drawn by legal experts of Tammany Hall and the Brooklyn Democratic organization would force this year-old left wing political group, and the Socialists as well, to muster five percent of the total vote for Governor in 1938 or lose their official party status. This is roughly five times the present requirement.

Nothing in the bill, which wa-s introduced by Senator Philip M. Kleinfeld iD. Brooklyn) would in-terefere with the right of either of these two minor parties to a line on the voting machine in the coming Mayoralty election. But the fact that the Labor Party, created by the Democrats to bolster the Roosevelt-Lehman campaign, is reported to be ready to indorse Fusionist Mayor LaGuardia for reelection, is regarded as the inspiration for the move to squeeze out the new party. The present law says that a political group becomes a "party," only-after it has nominated a candidal for Governor and this candidate has received 50,000 votes in a general election.

The right to a row on the voting machine in subsequent elections, the right to enroll voters under its emblem during registration week and the right to participate in primaries depends on the party's success in getting 50.000 votes for its gubernatorial candidate. The Kleinfeld bill requiring five percent of the vote makes it pretty tough for any minor party, for the total vole for Governor last year was 5.690,000 and five percent of that would be about 284 000. The Labor Party's record vote was about 260.000, but there is some doubt that with a less popular candidate than Governor Lehman as it-s standard bearer next year it will attract as many ballots from the major parties. The Presidents name topped the labor slate, too. The Socialist candidate for Governor, Harry W.

Laidler of Brooklyn, received approximately 100.000 votes, so the five percent rule, if adopted, will probably toss this old party off the voting machines as the 50-000-vot rule did to the Communist and Law Preservation, parties. If dlprived of official party status, a political organization must nominate it.s candidate for State or local offices by petition. In the case of candidates for governor, 12,000 signatures are required and at least 50 must be secured in each of the State's 62 counties. Because of the difficulty in getting left-wing signatures in many of the rural up-State counties, which are overwhelmingly Republican, the Democrats had to gather the signatures for the Labor Party's petitions nominating Governor Lehman la-st year. Another proposed election law amendment introduced by Kleinfeld would open the door to election of district leaders in Manhattan and the Bronx for four-year terms.

Leaders of both major parties in these boroughs are selected by the county committeemen, who, in turn, are elected every two years. The Kleinfeld bill would permit the parties to adopt rules making the county committeemen's term four years. The object of this proposed change, it is said, is to reduce primary fights over district leaderships. In the other counties of the city the district leaders are usually' the State committeemen, who terms. Black Persian Lambs, Hudson Winter weights.
