TT is as a foil for John L. Lewis that Ickes may have his greatest
* role in the campaign, though people who have pet hates against
, both these men may have a hard time giving thflr prejudices proper

him more than onq.” a ... . ' . *

and costing over six millions tons of coal production since November,

* “1 have communicated with Lewis on a number of occasions," says
Ickes, "asking him to get the mines running again. He pas replied
courteously and he and his retinue have made an effort to get the
miners back. ’ •
“This last time, I sent him one of these telegrams, calling attention
to the critical situation. I didn’t mark it personal, but I didn’t givetit
out. He did. and he issued one of his characteristic blasts and I
answered that. Then he came back with another blast. I don’t intend
to answer that.

BY PETER EDSON
NEA Staff Correspondent
*pHE HON. HAROLD L. ICKES Is never in better form than when
he’s out after somebody, and at this particular moment he has a
couple of pet punching bags on whom to exercise his spleen—Gov.
Thomas E. Dewey and John L. Lewis.
The Dewey campaign is highly satisfactory. Sec-
retary Ickes Admitted to his last press conference.
Highly satisfactory. “This year we have Alf Landon
running with a mustache. And how he loves the
laboring man."
Had the secretary noticed that Dewey was going
to appoint a new cabinet?
Oh yes. Ickes was taking care of that in his speech
at Pittsburgh, and he had It all fixed up.
Who would be the new secretary of the Interior?
"Well, that would be a hard job to fill."
