Mitchell, New Sec.
Of Labor, Neither
Rich nor Plumber

WASHINGTON, James P.
Mitchell was sworn in today as
Secretary of Labor and attended
his first cabinet meeting.
Mitchell, 50 year old former
New York City department store
executive with long experience in
labor relations, took the oath in
ceremonies at the White House
with President Eisenhower look
ing on.
The New Jersey Republican,
who says he is neither a plumber
nor a millionaire" had been assis-
tant Secretary Of the Army until
Eisenhower announced the new
appointment Thursday.
He succeeds Martin P. Durkin,
a Democrat who quit a month ago
and went back to his job as ALL
Plumbers Union president.
While Durkin was in the cabi-
net, administration critics claimed
it was composed entirely of mil
lionaires except for one plumber,
Durkin.
Mitchell declined to discuss the
Taft Hartley controversy with
newsmen.
The selection of Mitchell was
generally acclaimed by Republi-
cans and Democrats and by some
labor leaders.
However, ALL vice president
Al Hayes, who heads the ALL
Machinists Union, called the
choice of Mitchell incredible" -
the same word used by the late
Sen. Robert Taft when Eisen-
hover picked Durkin.
CIO president Walter Reuther
said Mitchell enjoys "a good re-
putation" among unions.
