Old Time Political Figure Described in Roosevelts Tone
A fragmented obituary style note recalls a long political career. It mentions a Kentuckian born November 24, 1877, educated at Emory College and Virginia Law School, admitted to the bar in 1901, and serving as prosecuting attorney and county judge before entering Congress and the Senate. It lauds him as a grand old man of the Democratic party, a courtly Southern gentleman and a popular Washington hostess favorite, with leadership roles including Senate majority leader in 1947.

A General Electric report notes immediate paralysis and three minute death, while quota reductions may be discussed.
