Taft of Ohio, Re- . publican policy leader of the senate, today is in the middle of a ' bone-bruising fight for re-election in 1950 which will test whether a law-maker can incur the complete disfavor of labor ' leaders and remain in public office. of-fice. - The labor movement has suggested sug-gested Murray D. Lincoln, national na-tional head of the farm cooperative coopera-tive movement, as a candidate for the Democratic nomination to oppose Taft. - Lincoln is looked upon by labor as a man who could unite farmers and workers to defeat the senior Ohio senator.

He also is opposed to the Taft-Hartley law which he terms a "restrictive act" and favors the highly controversial controver-sial Brannan farm plan' as "a step in the right direction." , - On at least the last two issues, Lincoln would be in a . high aplrited fight with Taft. The Ohio senator is opposed to the Bran-nan Bran-nan plan which he declared Is "a fraud" on its very face.
