LEADER: During the war years
John L. Lewis took a seat on the
Washington. D. C. park bench
where Bernard NJ. Baruch once
had been photographed. John, 4"
said a friend to the union
leader who announced his re-
tirement last week, you're mis-
taken if you think that sitting
where Bernie Baruch sits makes
you statesman"
Although Lewis always has
insisted that the Mine Workers
were his sole consideration he's
viewed himself in many roles,
including that of statesman. He
felt that no Presidential candi-
date could win without his sup
port: They can't build a North
west Passage around me-" He
broke with FDR on foreign
policy and supported Wendell
Willkie. Not because he liked
Willkie, he told the nominee,
but because he hated Roose-
welt: Il made him, and I'll
break him"
In the White House one day
he offered advice to FDR and
began: You and I are the two
most notorious men in Ameri-
ca" The President corrected
him: Notorious? After all, a
man like Dillinger was motor
ious." BY nortorious I really
meant famous" said Lewis,
but I wanted to be modest"
He's taken special delight, at
sessions with industrial giants,
to make it clear he was not
their inferior. During the
Chrysler strike he and Walter
P. Chrysler addressed each
other by their first names, but
to K. T. Keller he roared; "Mr.
Keller, there's only one thing
you've got over me-a few dol

the Theater Guild four years
ago. Mrs. Burchard was more
actively identified with music
than theater in Washington.
This identification began when
she as Katherine Riggs, daugh-

Upon completion of her stud
