America’s Welfare,
Not Just Labor’s,
Is Durkin’s Aim
WASHINGTON, (JP) — Martin
P. Durkin, who has been named
to be Secretary of Labor in the
Eisenhower cabinet, said today
he is certain Sen. Taft (R-Ohio)
will be reasonable and fair-mind
ed” about discussing changes in
the Taft-Hartley Labor Act.
The Secretary-designate said he
regards Taft, who was sharply
critical of the President-elect’s
choice of Durkin, as “a fair mind
ed man.” Taft called Durkin a
“partisan Truman Democrat” and
said his selection as Labor Secre
tary was “incredible.”
Durkin told a reporter he is
hopeful that organized labor and
management can find a middle
ground of agreement on the po
tentially explosive question of la
bor legislation.
Durkin, a life-long Democrat
who voted against Eisenhower,
said in an interview the welfare
of the American people, not just
organized labor, would be his first
concern as head of the Labor De
partment and chief administra
tion labor spokesman on Capitol
Hill.
Committee Lifts TV Ban
At Coronation of Queen
Elizabeth II Next June
LONDON, (/P)—Britain’s Coro
nation Committee lifted Monday
its ban on televising the actual
crowning of Queen Elizabeth II
next June 2.
Giving in to outraged howls of
TV owners and others, the corn
question and had “approved the
mittee said it had reexamined the
extension of television to parts of
the service.”
“It is therefore hoped,” the an
nouncement said, “to make ar
rangements for the recognition,
the crowning and the homage to
be included.” These are all parts
of the ceremony.
Other parts of the ceremonies
inside Westminster Abbey will re
main barred to TV — the anoint
ing, the Communion prayers and
the administration of the Sacra
ment.
The original ban was based on
the committee’s fears that the un
winking eye of the television
camera might catch the youthful
queen in an undignified moment
during the long ceremony, some
thing like a sneeze or a hasty
swipe at a perspiring brow.
