Is Bob Lyons, ‘Mystery Man,’ Pulling Strings for Jenner?
His Money Usually On Right Horse
By DANIEL M. KIDNEY VV ASHINGTON, Apr. 5 Sen. William E. Jenner's self-propelled «gyailability campaign for the Republican gubernatorial nomination has renewed interest in that so-called “mystefy-man of Indiana politics” —Robert W. Lyons. ‘To top-flight attorneys and pig businessmen who are his associates in New York, Washington - and Florida, “Bob” Lyons is anything but “mysterious” or wraithlike. He is a wellfed, well-groomed, well-heeled lawyer and businessman who. can be as determined in a lawsuit or business deal as any competitor he is likely to come Across. At times he undoubtedly transfers this acumen to politics. So if he is braintrusting the Jenner try for the govership the junior Senator's prospects might well merit the conclusion of most of his Hoosier congressional colleagues. Summed up briefly it is this: “Jenner has the votes to get the GOP nomination.” » » = THE FACT ‘that Mr. Jenner intends to keep his Senate seat until and unless elected Governor puts him in the position of tossing one of those “heads I win and tails you lose”: coins. It looks like a perfect Lyons formula. For only when he put himself on the firing line, by accepting the Indiana Repub-

His backing of Gov.

Gates and Mr. Jenner. Some think this is shadow-boxing., But as one of the GOP Congressmen puts it Banat rémains the $64 quesn. :

But he gave no indication whether he intends to recognize the order. He maintains that he did nothing to induce the walk out. An immediate motion by the union to vacate the order may bring Mr, Lewis face to face with U. 8. District Judge T. Alan Goldsborough, who is no stranger to him. He and his union paid $710,000 in fines for contempt of court last year for defying Judge Goldsborough's order to call off a strike late in 1946. ~ 10 Days to Comply The temporary injunction against the strike was issued late Saturday by U. 8. District Judge Matthew McGuire. It also directed Mr. Lewis and the mine, operators: ONE: To begin new attempts to settle their dispute over pensions for miners; TWO: To appear in court a week from today to report compliance. The court will then decide whether to extend the injunction for the 80 days permitted under the Taft-Hartley law. | A survey of mines in western Pennsylvania, West Virginia, Alabama and other coal-producing
