Washington reports a national labor drive to back Murray O Lincoln against Senator Robert A Taft collapsed at a Columbus meeting ten days ago. Lincoln, chosen for his Ohio Farm Bureau ties and AFL leadership backing, proved elusive and the plan unraveled. The setback jeopardizes Truman Fair Deal hopes of a threeway alliance with labor and farmers and weakens Democrats in Ohio and nationally.
