Phyllis Wheatley has served its
area well since the present house
was built In 1929. Until recently,
most Of the people using its fac
ihties were Negro. Now, however,
completion Of Olson and Sumner
Field Homes has brought an influx
Of white families into the neighbor-
hood. These people have been made
welcome and the House is a good
example Of democracy at work in
a community. Some 1900 persons
participate in activities.
Henry Thomas, executive direc-
tor since 1912, reports that he con-
siders one Of the Houses major
functions the Improvement Of in
ter-group relations by all people in
the area on the basis Of their CON-
mon interest in building q better
community.
I'VE can have little hope for a
one-world concept unless it can be
proved in neighborhoods such as
ours that people Of various races
and religions can live together In
mutual respect and understand
ing, he says.
Thomas reports that almost halt
the youngsters under II who at
tend are white, while 30 percent
Of the teen-agers are Negroes

1860 will be the year.
Don't be too hopeful, he eau
toned. giving his audience a
cynical report of how ideals
are "bartered in the political
market place" First, he said,
the UNIV will canvass the Sem
ate and House to determine
how many votes favor its legis-
lative program.
Then, he continued, the UNIV
will conduct a second canvass
Ito see how many of our
pledged voters are going to sell
us out for political advantage" "
On safety legislation he
asked: Who becomes respon-
sible before God or man be-
cause Congress did not act soon
enough on an A-B-C PROPOSE
tion that even a child can
understand"
And so John L. Lewis bowed
his white-maned head, accept
ed the worship Of the miners
he lifted to new dignity, and
lightened his burdens - with
the promise that he will stay
around to fight for the inter-
ests Of his people and con-

Lewis, Retiring UNIV Chief,
Accepts His Miners HOMAGE
By LEE NJ. COIN
star Stan Writer

Good luck. boy" murmured
John L. Lewis, nearing 80, to
72-year-old Thomas Kennedy.
So it went all day yesterday,
the day John L. retired as
president Of the United Mine
Workers, the day Tom Ken
nedy succeeded him-a great
day Of pride and sentiment for
the aging men who still run
the UNIV.
The 56-year-old youngster of
the hierarchy, w. A. CTony)
Boyle, was a nervous. bashful
onlooker-though as the new
vice president he was in line
to run the union before many
years elapse. He promised not
to "embarrass" the men who
built the UNIV.
Mr.. Lewis announced his
resignation last month after
40 years as president and fam
ing genius Of the union. Yes
terday the UMW'S Executive
board accepted his resignation,
elected him president emeritus,
welcomed Vice President Ken
nedy as his successor, and
ratified Mr.. Kennedy's appoint
ment of Mr.. Boyle as the new
vice president.
No Opposition Seen
Mr.. Kennedy said he will run
for election in his own right
next December. No major op-
position is expected.
In this era of glittering labor
temples and slick union public
relations, the UMW's corona
ton day was a study in old
fashioned comradeship and
nostalgia. After many lean
years, the Mine Workers have
arrived as an organization of
solid substance. They planned !
their day to congratulate them
selves quietly on their achieve
mentS, and to remind the
world. Il
They called the press to their
musty old headquarters build
ing on Fifteenth street NV (
to meet and question Mr.. Ken
nedy. This press conference
was a concession to the modern !
age, but it had a flavor of its {
own. The room looks like the
trophy room of rowing club, ,
with its ancient group photos !
and its bronze bas-relief of a !
young John L. Lewis. u
Symbol of Power
Mr.. Kennedy, a dry, slight ,
statured man, used no soaring D.,
phrases as he gave straightfor-
ward answers to reporters :
questions. Blinking at the food
lights and flash bulbs, he said ,
he expects to continue peaceful :
relationships with the mine op- :
orators, and will fight for legis- .
lation to establish a national :
fuels policy. TO strengthen mine !
safety and to nberalize social
security. {
Then Mr.. Lewis entered
subdued. but still a magnificent
power symbol. He vouched for +,
