Lewis Resigned To/ End PowerJStruggle

WASHINGTON (UPD — John L. Lewis decided to step down now as president of the United Mine Workers to head off a possible power struggle over his eventual successor in the union leadership. This was the explanation that associates gave today for the 79-year-old labor leader’s announcement Tuesday that he is resigning as UMW chief early next year. They also said departure from office would not silence the “thundering voice of the captain of a mighty host,” as Lewis once described his role in behalf of the miners. These friends said Lewis certainly would continue as a nonpaid trustee of the UMW's welfare fund. They also expect him to testify before congressional committees on coal industry problems. 1 Seeks Orderly Transition Lewis said to be seeking “to insure an orderly transition” in the UMW leadership by lining up his successor well in advance of the union’s presidential election next December. UMW Vice President Thomas Kennedy, 72, automatically steps into the top job when Lewis bows out. Kennedy was expected to run for a full four-year term as president. But all eyes within the union will be focused on the man selected to fill Kennedy’s vice presidential spot That choice may be made far ahead of election time to build up the man who eventually will succeed to the presidency. Praises Kennedy In his letter of resignation, Lewis praised Kennedy to the skies. John Owens, secretary-treasur-er of the 500,000-member union, is 69 and his colleagues believe that he is not interested in moving up the .ladder. This leaves two men prominently in the leadership picture— W. A. (Tony* Boyle, about 50, an assistant to Lewis who came out of the Montana district of the UMW, and Michael F. Widman, director of market research and a former CIO organizer in auto plants. Although the race has just started, these two are considered to have the inside track to succeed Kennedy eventually as presirecent years.

Uneasy Truce Prevails Al Wilson Plant CEDAR RAPIDS, lowa (UPD— An uneasy truce, enforced by squads of state and city police, today prevailed at a Wilson & Co. meatpacking plant twice struck by strike violence. Striking meatworkers briefly pelted non-striking workers Tuesday with rocks, but policemen moved in to quell the uprising before any serious damage was done. In St. Paul, Wilson lawyers went into federal District Court to seek reopening of the company’s Albert Lea plant, closed six days ago when 200 National Guardsmen clamped military rule on the strife-torn southern Minnesota town. Three hundred non-strikers entered the plant at Albert I-ea Tuesday to continue processing perishable meat. The Guardsmen refused a Wilson plea for fullscale productionWilson officials said they would meet in Chicago Thursday with negotiators from the striking United Packinghouse Workers of America. Federal mediators will referee the first contract talks since the UPWA struck eight Wilson plants Oct. 29. Twenty-five lowa state policemen patrolled Cedar Rapids streets today, freeing city police for duty at the plant gates. Gov. Herschel C. Loveless ordered the state troopers to Cedar Rapids Monday when 300 strikers attacked non-strikers leaving the plant and damaged 50 cars. Seven strikers were arrested and the UPWA’s Local 3 was cited for contempt of court for failing to obey a temporary injunction banning “unlawful picketing.” District Judge Charles Penningroth said he would hear the contempt citation Friday.

Press Ban Caused By Misunderstanding WASHINGTON (UPD — Maj. Gen. Donald N. Yates has lifted a ban he imposed on press coverage of military missile firings at the Cape Canavpral, Fla., test center. He said the ban resulted from a misunderstanding. 'Yates, atffiawnder * test center, said Tuesday in a telegram to Lyle C Wilson, vice president of United Press International, that he would “continue to cooperate with the press to insure the most objective reporting” of missile activities. Wilson, UPI Washington bureau chief, had telegraphed Yates asking him to lift the ban, imposed Monday- Wilson said the order barring newsmen from the test center during military rocket shots amounted to an attempt to censor news originating in Washington. In issuing his ban, Yates said a UPI story from Washington last Saturday violated an agreement with the press concerning advance publication of the date for launching a Thor-Able rocket in a nonmilitary shot for the federal space agency. The UPI dispatch said the National Aeronautics and Space Administration. planned to launch a payload toward an orbit around the sun this week. Yates said he had given the date to reporters at Cape Canaveral on a confidential basis. Wilson, in his telegram, advised Yates that the UPI story “was obtained in Washington from independent sources in part but largely from our library in which we accumulate information sometimes bit by Mt for future development into major news stories. ’ Births At the Adams county memorial hospital: Doyle and Norma Jean Bryan Williams, Portland, are parents of a six pound, ten and one-fourth ounce daughter, born at 11:05 this morning. / At 7:50 p. m.

The Communists accounted for half the world’s coal output and nearly one-third its iron ore in 1958. Data from National Industrial Conference Board.

Red Hals Bestowed On New Cardinals VATICAN CITY (UPI) — Pope John XXIII formally bestowed the red hats of office on seven of eight new cardinals of the church today and indicated he intends to name more in the future.

The additions bring the sacred college's number to a record high of 79. At & audience for 5 QOT persons before the consistory, the pope warned that persecutors of the church were , “wasting their time/' He predicted their fall. “The church is continuing on its path, carrying out its task,” the pope told the mass audience. “There are some who imagine they can destroy the church, but they are wasting their time “The church may suffer, it may face difficulties; but all persecutors will fall, will meet a bad end, because the church is an expression of liberty and a spreader of civilization,” he said. The eighth cardinal was not here for the consistory. He is Nuncio to Paris Paolo Marella, who receives his red hat from French President Charles de Gaulle.
