Philip Murray,
 Head of CIO, Dies

SAN FRANCISCO, (P)-Philip Murray, who rose from an immi- grant Scots mine boy to become head of the CIO and one of the worlds most powerful and res pected labor leaders, died yester- day of a heart, attack.
 At 66, a veteran of half a cen tury's work in labor's cause, he was stricken in his sleep at San FranciSco'S fashionable Mark Hopkins Hotel. His wife, Eliza beth, awoke to find him sprawled on the floor beside his bed.
 Although Murray had not been in good health, his death came as a shock to friends, associates - and even his antagonists in some of the bitterest council table bat ties between management and labor.
 Telegrams of condolence poured in from all sections of the coun- try from President Truman and high ranking government of- ficials from William Green of the AFL and the John L. Lewis of the United Mine Work CTS . from Ben Hairless of US. Steel and Ben Morrell of Jones and Laughlin.
 A thin white matched man who never lost faint Scots burr from his voice, Murray likewise never lost the ardor of trade unionism from his heart.
 A mine worker at the age of 10, he spent the night before his death at a meeting of his United Steel Workers, whose presidency he held concurrently with the presidency of the parent CIO.
 There, he spoke with energy of labor's gains, promised whole some support of any administra- ton that has in mind constructive measures for the common people" :" and defied special groups" to take away labor's gains.
 An early packer of Adlai Stew enson for the presidency, Murray declined comment last week when Stevenson and the supporting CLOS Political Action Committee went down to defeat at the polls.
