President Eisenhower Stirs Greeks
With ‘Friendship in Freedom" Offer
ATHENS, (#> — President Eis
enhower received a rousing ova
tion in the Greek Parliament
Tuesday and then hoarded the
U. S. cruiser Des Moines for his
first real rest since he began
his peace and friendship mission
12 days ago.
The President, renewing his
call for peace in freedom in an
address to the 300-member Par
liament, was interrupted a dozen
times by applause and cheers
that almost shook the rafters. The
Communist-led minority joined in.
Then five hours later, the Pres
ident took his leave of the Greek
royal family and drove in a pro
cession to the Athens Stadium
where he boarded a helicopter
for the short flight to the Des
Moines.
The President was to have a
three-dav rest aboard the Des
Moines, broken only by a meet
ing Thursday in Tunis with Tuni
sian President Habib Bourguiba.
Greek Premier Constantine
Karamanlis and other Greek offi
cials accompanied the President
to the stadium.
The President got his greatest
ovation when the told Parliament
his message could be summed up
in the words “Peace and friend
ship in freedom.”
The legislators rose to their
feet with a roar of shouts and
handclapping.
The rip-roaring demonstration
far exceeded the reception of his
message before two other Parlia
ments he had addressed, Indian
and Iranian, on the trip that has
taken him so far to seven nations.
“By forever repudiating the
use of aggressive force we shall
win the sort of peace we want,
with friendship in freedom,” he
said. “I mean freedom in which,
under the rule of law, every
human will have the right and a
fair chance to live his own life, to
choose his own path, to work out
his own destiny.”
The response appeared to be
the greatest ever given a foreign
statesman in the Greek Parlia
ment.
Communists and left-wingers
sprang to their feet with a roar,
leading the general ovation, when
Eisenhower said: “And now,
briefly, permit me to speak on a
cause close to my heart. The cause
is peace and friendship in
freedom.”
Until Eiserihower reached this
point in his speech, the Red bloc,
78 strong, had been sitting quietly,
not joining in the outbursts of
applause by the 17G members of
the government bloc and other
members.
France Says U. S.
General Overdid
Criticism at U.N.
PARIS, Lft — France called
“excessive and dramatic” critical
remarks made about this country
last week by General Nathan F.
Twining, Chairman of the Joint
Chiefs of Staff. •
Twining deplored delay by
most West European members of
the North Atlantic Treaty Organ
ization in accepting U. S. atomic
weapons and stockpiles and in in
tegrating air forces into one air
defense structure. He made it
clear the United States feels
France is the chief offender.
Foreign Minister Couve De
Murville expressed the French
position on the Twining view to
Secretary of State Herter. French
sources said Couve De Murville
“expressed his extreme surprise
at the revelations by the Aifierican
press of remarks made in the mili
tary committee, whose debates
are, principle, secret.”
Couve De Murville also said
Twining’s remarks were of an “ex
cessive and dramatic character,”
that the manner in which the
problems were presented was out
of proportion to the importance
of the problems themselves.
Herter called on Couve De Mur
ville at the start of nine days of
concentrated Western talks aimed
at shoring up NATO and prepar
ing a summit-level meeting with
the Soviet Union.

Champion of Labor John L. Lewis
Throws In Towel Near 80th Birthday
By NORMAL WALKER
WASHINGTON, UP> — John L.
Lewis, a titan of the American
labor movement, announced Tues
day he will resign as president of
the United Mine Workers early
next year.
Lewis, who will be 80 next
February 12, said in a letter to
UMW members in the union’s
journal, that the time has come
to step aside. Aides said he is in
excellent health.
“Mister Eyebrows,” as millions
I came' to know the fuzzy-browed
union chief in- his flamboyant
organizing and bargaining days of
the 1930s and 1940s, has headed
the UMW for 40 years. Few men

Iran Has But One
Complaint — ‘
Ike Has Left!
By WEBB McKINLEY
i
TEHRAN, UP) — The Iranians
had only one complaint Tuesday
about President Eisenhower’s vis
it — it wasn’t long enough.
During his six-hour stay Mon
day, the Iranians cheered Eisen
hower as they never cheered a
visitor before. The impact of the
President will not soon be for
gotten.
An editorial in one of Iran’s
leading newspapers, keynoted
the local feeling: “This unprece
dented welcome showed that Iran
supports and confirms the peace
! loving policy of Eisenhower,
l Therefore, Iran will always bid
i him welcome.”
An impressive majority of
I Tehran’s two million citizens saw
i Eisenhower or heard his message
i of praise for their steadfastness
againt Communist pressures.
Mayor Nasser Zulfaghaeri es
timated that 750,000 lined the
Pr&ident’s route. Thousands saw
him on Tehran’s television net
work. Still more heard him by
radio.
Veteran Iranian newspapermen
pointed out that the turnout was
doubly impressive Monday be
cause Monday was not an official
holiday. Government workers had
the day off, but factory morkers,
artisans, clerks and businessmen
were supposed to stay at their
job.
At Mehrabad Airport, just be
fore taking off for Athens, the
President said: “I am sorry and
I want to apologize to this beau
tiful country and all its citizens
because I did not and could not
stay longer. I would like to stay
as many days as I have hours.”
ican economic life.
Lewis will be succeeded auto
matically by Thomas Kennedy,
UMW vice president and former
Lieutenant Governor of Pennsyl
vania. Kennedy, 72, a widower
who married again just a few
weeks ago, is honeymooning in
Europe.
On retirement, Lewis will be
eligible to continue at full salary
of $50,000 a year. He did not set
a specific date for quitting, saying
only that it would be shortly after
the new year.
Lewis, a familiar figure for j
years in newspaper headlines, is
responsible more than any other j
labor leader for organizing work
ers of the nation’s biggest indus
tries into labor unions.
A man of iron will, Lewis
fought the captains of industry
and on many occasions the gov
ernment itself in unrelehting
battle to obtain bargaining rights
and wage-benefit gains for work
ers in one industry after another.
In the past decade, although
still vigorous and willing to fight
if need be, Lewis cdhducted his
union affairs in peace with the
politicians and his old and favor
ite foes, the coal mine operators.
In his letter to UMW members,
Lewis displayed again his life
long flair for rolling, sonorous
language.
“The years have been long and
individual burdens oppressive,” j
he wrote. “Yet progress has been
great.
“Today, because of your forti
tude and deep loyalty to your
union, your wages are the highest
in the land, your working hours
the lowest, your safety more as
sured, your health more guarded, j
your old age protected, your chil
dren equal in opportunity with
their generation, and your union
strong, with material resources.”
