...subdued his mane-shaking mannerisms but had somewhat slowed his brilliant technique. He still flailed the keyboard like a maddened thresher, still followed through a rippling run as though he were plucking a rabbit from a topper. But his stubby fingers, which he always soaked in warm water before a performance, though still steely-supple, had just perceptibly lost something of their cascading fluidity. Critics no longer unconditionally rated him as No. 1 among the world's great pianists. But he still had what it took to hold an audience: a great past, a great presence...

Vigorously tossing his grey mane in the face of a microphone, John Llewellyn Lewis last week on the eve of Labor Day week-end delivered a message to the Union on the State of Labor. For all U. S. Labor the preceding twelve months had been-by moderate estimate-the most significant in history. Both in power and numbers the U. S. Labor movement reached an all-time peak.
