Mr. McKinney Has served as national committeeman for nine months.” In his short address to the new National Committee he attempted tq dispel reports of a rift between himself and President Truman, He said: “When President Truman urged me to become national chairman ha told me my chief project was té unify the party and hold a streamlined convention.

By JOSEPH ALLISON FOR WANT of a switch a vote was lost; for want of a vote a law was’ lost. :

This might be the story of Indianapolis City Council if a trend started last Monday continues.

It seems the Council got a public address system for its barnlike chambers on the fourth floor of City Hall. #'he high-ceilinged room was full of echoes and odd noises which kept spectators from hearing much of the official proceedings unless Councilmen bellowed.

Council President Joseph E. Bright decided the public address {system would solve this, problem {and asked city departments to get 'to work.

TO WORK they got and now Mr, Bright is not sure whether or not he should have a union card and a radio operator's license to preside over meetings. Sitting beside his chair on the president’s platform is a control box such as might have come from one of the Air Force's syper-! lsuperbombers.

Complete with more switches than a quick-change artist, with lights and knobs galore, the box sits ominously beside Mr. Bright and winks at him occasionally.

And in front of every Councilman is a microphone on a long, lsword-like arm which dangles the sound pickup just under his nose.

On the desk in front of each man is a box with a green glass button on it and a switch. If Mr. Councilman throws the| switch the glass button lights up and a corresponding light on Mr. Bright's control box goes on. By flipping a switch of his own, Mr. Bright can tell his cohort he is recognized and can speak. ” » ~ ! DURING the opening minutes lof last Monday's meeting, Mr. Bright and Councilman Carter W. | Eltzroth had a switch-flipping | {contest with Mr. Bright trying to| turn off the light before Mr. | Eltzroth turned it on. The contest was a draw.

Lewis Could Halt Steel

Making Again

By ELMER C. WALZER United Press Financial Editor

NEW-YORK; July 26=John L.|

Lewis has given his 60 days notice to terminate the coal mine contract and thus a new labor problem looms for the financial district.

Coal producers said the Lewis’ move was unexpected, but Wall St. has looked for it for a long time. The financial district timed the Lewis action to come as soon as the steel strike was settled, because that often has been Lewis’ procedure.

Under terms of the contract

By ERNIE HILL

Maria Eva Duarte De Peron, the boarding-house keeper's daughter who rose to world fame, is dead at 30. The dazzling actress wife and political right arm of President Juan Domingo Peron died from cancer as they were starting their second six-year term at the helm of the Argentine government. k History is bound to accord Evita, as she was popularly known, a controversial page because some consideredsher a good bed her as

She was the heroine of the house maids, the factory workers, the shop girls and the big proPeron labor -unions. She was hated by the social set and the once wealthy families of Argentina. Radjo actress, movie star and founder of a vast charity organization beating her name, Evita's death leaves the Argentine President politically weakened.

Takes Firm Hold

“I will take care of the labor unions and the women's vote,” she once told her husband. “All you have to do is make the speeches and keep the Army happy.” : And that was the arrangement through two successful political campaigns. : She had a natural flair fo politics. She was firm and uncompromising with her enemies even when her husband would

“Peron,” they have said, “was in an army cavalry school but Elvita learned more in the Buenos Aires school of hard knocks.” . At 16, she ran away from her home in San Juan, She hid in the trunk of a car belonging -to one of her mother’s boarders. That was how she got to Buenos Aires. At 26, she was the girl friend of Col. Peron who was joekeying for position in; Argentina's military dictatorship with his eye on the presidency. At 27, she married ‘the colonel to quiet criticism of their close friendship as his campaign for the presidency was in full swing. At 27, she became first lady of Argentina and perhaps the Western Hemisphere’s most powerful feminine political figure in history. 3

Bar Evita’s Address |

Evita had hoped that the Pope would confer upon her a title as papal duchess. This ambition was well known when she left Buenos Aires, Newspapers carried stories of the papal duchesses in history. Her audience was arranged but the title failed to materialize.

On her way back to Buenos Aires, she stopped off in Brazil Here an inter-American conference was in session. General George Marshall represented the United States as Secretary of State and President Truman came to Rio de Janeiro

the conference. Evita was noticeably annoyed when the Brazilian foreign minister refused to let her address the conference. Upon her arrival, he recessed the meeting. Delegates adjourned to a side room where they toasted her with champagne. But she was never invited to the rostrum. By the end of 1948, her private charity organization had become a phenomena. She collected millions of pesos from individuals and companies. She administered the money as she saw fit, There was never an audit or a statement of the organization's ‘assets. On occasions, she would give handful of pesos to people in trouble. She listened to their complaints in her office and pressed notes on them. She built hospitals and set up clinics. All of them were under her name and the good they did accrued to the benefit of the Perons.

Army a Key Asset In- 1951, Evita decided she wanted to be vice president. She could have won easily, The women’s organizations and the labor unions plastered the countryside with posters for her. But the Army said, “no.” And the Army is still: a presi-
