Sen Clair Engle Dies After Long Battle With Brain Tumor
UPI reports California Senator Clair Engle 52 died at his Washington home shortly after 3 a.m. EDT. A one time cowboy known for a sharp tongue, Engle announced retirement after a 21 year career in Congress following a brain operation in 1963 that left him partly paralyzed. He had fought to stay in office until April when he withdrew from reelection. His death follows a long decline and a final brain-relieving operation. Engle had earlier been elected to the House in 1943 and moved to the Senate in 1958.
