Durkin, who resigned yesterday
as Secretary of Labor.
Knows Nothing of Court Choice.
Mr.. Snyder was asked at a
news conference whether the
President could be expected to
name a new chief justice while
he was still in Denver.
Il know of nothing to indicate
there will be any announcement
on that while the President is
still here" Mr.. Snyder replied.
Gen. Eisenhower arrived at his
Lowry Air Force Base office

started work on a big batch of

Here is the teTt of the letter
i0htch Martin P. Durkin tOrote
to President Eisenhower in re-
signing as Secretary of Labor:
Dear Mr.. President:
I find that it will be neces-
sary for me to return to my
former position as president of
the United Association of Jour-
neymen and Apprentices of the
Plumbing and Pipe Fitting In
duStry from which I was
granted a leave of absence be-
fore accepting the high posi-
ton of Secretary of Labor in
your cabinet.
I request that my resignation
be made effective Wednesday,
September 9, 1858. My reason
for setting that date is that it
will permit me to take part in
a Labor Day affair arranged
by Archbishop Patrick O'Boyle
to be held here in Washington.
Since January 81, 1953-the
day on which I became the
Secretary of Labor-you have
appointed a number of emf
nently qualified persons to be
of assistance to me in the De-
partment of Labor. First and
foremost, you appointed as Un-
derSecretary of Labor Mr..
Lloyd c. MaShburn. who is an
able and competent co-Worker
with a background of many
years Of experience in the field
of labor-management relations
and with several years of eX-
perience in public service as
Commissioner of Labor for the
State of California under your
good friend, Gov. Warren. The
United States Department of
Labor has never had an Un-
derSecretary who is his equal.
Praise for Miller.
Assistant Secretary Spencer
Miller, jr., is very we'll known
in the field of international
labor affairs. I have received
words of praise from both en-
ployer and labor representa-
tives engaged in international
labor affairs. Specifically, both
Mr.. Charles Shaw, the en-
ployer representative on the
governing body of the Inter-
national Labor Organization,
and MIR. Phillip Delaney. the
international representative of
the American Federation of
Labor. have praised Assistant
Secretary Miller.
