ican economic life.
 Lewis will be succeeded auto matically by Thomas Kennedy, UNIV vice president and former Lieutenant Governor of Pennsyl- vania. Kennedy, 72, a widower who married again just a few weeks ago, is honeymooning in Europe.
 On retirement, Lewis will be eligible to continue at full salary of $50,000 a year He did not set specific date for quitting, saying only that it would be shortly after the new year.
 Lewis, familiar figure for years in newspaper headlines, is responsible more than any other labor leader for organizing work CTS of the nations biggest indus tries into labor unions.
 A man of iron will, Lewis fought the captains of industry and on many occasions the gov ernment itself in unrelehting battle to obtain bargaining rights and wage-benefit gains for work CTS in one industry after another.
 In the past decade, although still vigorous and willing to fight if need be, Lewis conducted his union affairs in peace with the politicians and his old and favor ite foes, the coal mine operators.
 In his letter to UNIV members, Lewis displayed again his life long flair. for rolling, sonorous language.
 'The years have been long and individual burdens oppressive" :" he wrote ''Yet progress has been great
 To-day, because of your forti- tude and deep loyalty to your union, your wages are the highest in the land, your working hours the lowest, your safety more as sured, your health more guarded, your old age protected, your chil- dren equal in opportunity with their generation, and your union strong, with material resources" !"

 Mister Eyebrows" as millions came to know the fuzzy-browed union chief in his flamboyant organizing and bargaining days of the 193Os and 1940s, has headed the UNIV for 40 years. Few men have had greater impact on Amer

Twin City Council
Of Clubs Picnic
Enjoyed By Crowd
BY Mathew Little

In spite of many adverse condi
tons, the first annual family pic
mic of the Twin City Council o.
Clubs is recorded as an entertain
ment success. Total attendance
was far less than expected but
little was lacking from a stand
point of fun.
The main culprit, no doubt, II
limiting the enjoyment to a few
hundred, instead of the severa,
thousands originally prepared for
was the uncompromising weather,
man.
All he did was send heavy show,
ers the night before, threatening
dark clouds the morning of, and
unseasonably chilly weather dur
ing the day. Because of the dras-
tic decrease in the crowd expected,
much of the area reserved by the
Council had to be relinquished to
other groups.
Yet to those present 1t was a
memorable day. The massiveness
of the park. it's many facilities and
general layout were impressive to
all. Games, boating and swimming
were among the activities enjoyed.
Unfortunately, the softball games
were cancelled because of not
having enough players.

of Age VS. Youth.
If the issue should thus be
drawn the u. S. Senate may lose
one of its ablest members. The

Murray of Montana is in the
great liberal tradition. AS chair
man of the Senate Interior Com
mlttee he occupies strategic DO

Westerners because it is this
committee which has SO much to
say about the development and
disposition of our natural re-
sources.
He is respected not only as a
man and lawmaker. He is re-
spected also for the enemies he
has made. At the top of the list
is the Power Lobby and all those
other special interest Hobbies
which played so important a part
in the natural resources 'give-
