At the tomb, a throng braved below .freezing temperatures to attend ceremonies honoring the Civil War president. Some of them were part of pilgrimages by veterans’ organizations, civic and fraternal groups. Others stood in a two-inch blanket of snow to paly their own simple respects. ' Wreaths were laid on the tomb hy Gov. Dwight H. Green, 111., Harold E. Morris, state commander of the Indiana American Legion and representatives of the Illinois and national American Legion. Col. Roy L. Dalfreres, executive officer of the Illinois military district, laid a wreath for president Truman Ceremonies at the tomb were broadcast on a nationwide hookup from 11:45 a.m. to noon. Principal speaker was James F. O'Neil, national commander of the American

— II I ——*"* MM *""*"**** M Legion. O’Neil called for the end of | voluntary enlistment in the armed forces and immediate enactment by congress of a universal military training program. O’Neil said that the American Legion feels that “American strength of its world leadership to enduring peace can best be realized through a system of universal military training.” ‘ The Legion commander quoted from a passage written by Lincoln denouncing voluntary enlistments in the Civil War as “having consumed the young, the generous, the patriotic, the intelligent and the brave, and it has wasted the best moral, social and political elements in this republic and left the cowards, the shirkers and the money makers to stay home and procreate their kind.”

John L. Lewis Keeps Country Wondering Nation Fearful Os New Miners Strike Washington, Feb. 12—(UP) — John L. Lewis is celebrating another birthday today—his 68th. And, as usual on Feb. 12 for some years past, he has the country wondering whether he is going to lead his United Mine Workers out on another coal strike when warmer weather rolls around. He has raised the strike threat in a dispute over pensions for his miners. Government officials are just as concerned over a coal strike next summer as one right now. They say uninterrupted production is essential to meet what promises to be a growing demand for coal. James M. Boyd, director of the U. S. bureau of mines, said he expects many householders and industries to convert to coal heat because of hardships suffered in this winter’s oil and natural gas shortages. People must spend this summer buying coal if they want an adequate supply for the winter of 1948, he said, and a coal strike would "seriously” retard this stockpiling. Lewis’ anniversary coincides with that of Abraham Lincoln. But while most industries did business as usual today, anthracite pits and many other mines and plants were closed in honor of Lewis. John L. is observing his birthday on one of his periodic motor tours to different sections of the country. He is probably headed south. His aides won’t say. While Lewis may be out of sight, he certainly is not out of mind of government officials and coal operators here.

The coal operators have before them an ominous, 130-word letter which he wrote Feb. 2. It raised the possibility of a nationwide strike as early as April and, certainly, no later than next June 30 —unless some agreement is reached on Lewis' demand for SIOO-a---month pensions. Always a prolific letter-writer, Lewis produced a bumper crop in the past 12 months. Last March 19 —after the supreme cour> decision against him—Lewis wrote a 19word note to secretary of interior J. A. Krug withdrawing the letter terminating his contract with the government. 0 ,— Among recent inventions is a curler that brushes hair, rolls it into a curl and leaves the bobby pin in the curl in one operation.
