JOHN L. LEWIS
Byrns' Leading Roles
Almost continuous conferences
during the year among representa
tives of great and small nations
threw Byrnes into prominence as
the spokesman fur a bi-partisan
American viewpoint. His leader
ship was further emphasized when
Henry Wallace, as secretary of
commerce, voiced conflicting views
in a political speech. The inci
dent resulted in Wallace leaving
the cabinet and a restatement of
the American program by Byrnes.
Tat't continued his vigorous op
position to administration policies
throughout the year. He was one
of the leaders in the battle to cur

Ford Wins Without l.imeliKhl
Ford. 29-year-old grandsoh ol
Henry Ford, was less promi
nently in the public eye than other
personalities selected by the edi
tors, but the Ford industries were
obviously a major factor in Ameri
can reconversion ell'orts Youn;1
Ford had assumed direction ol
those industries in l!)4f. His as
sumption of power was marked In
the dropping of many men who had
previously held key positions in
the business. In l!l4(i. Ford was con
solidating his position of leader
ship and was cited by the .lunior
Chamber of Commerce as out
standing among the young men of
the country.
"The Iceman Cometh,'' Kugene
O'Neill's new play, was produced
for the first time on Broadway in
1946. although it was written in
1939. It was the fust O'Neill plav
since 1934 and the author, return
ing to live in his native New York
promised a number of additional
productions. Set in a low tvpe
saloon before World W ar I the new
play deals with the illusions and
self deceptions of its characters in
the shadow of death.

was very much upset because Oov
Cherry did not appoint him in
stead of Umstead. and he made
the statement when he was angry,
and has probably regretted it sev
eral times since.
HARD TIME Gov. Cherry's
sidekicks had a lerrifieallv hard
time of it over in W. B Umstead s
office in Durham last week The
Durham-Chapel Hill crowd, some
times known as the "Orange Coun
ty boys," were urging him not to
take the appointment to the Senate
and Cherry's stalwarts were pulling
in the other direction. He was in
the middle and sweating. Umstead
wanted to be Governor, too. He
had been in Washington as Con
gressman for six years under a
Democratic administration, and he
knew it would be different this
time. ,
Also, he knew the race would
be hard against Broughton in 1948.
So nobodv knew until two hours
before the announcement was marie
who would be the next Senator, not
even Umstead. There was general
rejoicing when he finally agreed
to take the place.
