MIAMI, Fla., Feb. 3.—(®)—AFL President William Green today announced the selection of Burton K. Wheeler, former Democratic Senator from Montana, as Director of AFL's new political league in the coming elections.
The post will pay $10,000, Green said. Wheeler will appear before the 30-member Administrative Committee of the newly-formed league here tomorrow. The Committee still must approve the selection of the Executive Council, but Green indicated that would be a formality.
The AFL head said the wartime isolationist views of ex-Senator Wheeler would not interfere with the political objectives of the Labor Organization, because they were primarily to bring about repeal of the Taft-Hartley Act.
