The switchboard at Meath Hospital, where the 41-year-old dramatist died Friday night, was jammed with calls and cables expressing sympathy. Some of the calls came from London, Paris and New York but many were from working men who had enjoyed Behan’s company on the famous Dublin drinking sprees that helped bring about his death. “He never forgot his own kind even when he was a success,” said one old-timer. Lingered 10 Days Behan died 10 days after he was taken to the hospital following a drinking bout. He was suffering from jaundice resulting from a liver ailment and complicated by diabetes, from which he had suffered for several years. He went into a coma Sunday and never fully regained consciousness, despite the efforts of a team of specialists who fought to save him. The playwright’s wife, Beatrice, 36, had kept a virtual round-the-clock vigil by his bedside until the end. She then said her final goodby and walked out of the hospital. A small crowd of workers waiting outside took off their caps and bowed their heads as she went by, then dispersed. Die first child of the 10-year marriage, a daughter, was born last December. Recalls IRA Days In Dublin’s working-class districts where Behan was born, news of his death brought tears to the eyes of many a former member of ’the publican Army (IRA). B« haa joined the IRA and went to prison for taking part m its clandestine activities directed against the British.

Anti-Subversion Law Held Invalid BLOOMINGTON, Ind. (UPD— It will be up to Indiana Atty. Gen. Edwin K. Steers to decide whether to appeal a Monroe Circuit Court ruling that the state’s 1951 anti-subversion law is unconstitutional. Judge Nat U. Hill Friday held the law unconstitutional and threw out charges against three former officers of the Indiana University chapter of the Young Socialist Alliance. Citing a U.S. Supreme Court ruling in the case of an alleged Democrats Get Signatures On Welsh Petition INDIANAPOLIS (UPD— Indiana Democratic leaders were hard at work today rounding up the signatures needed to put Governor Welsh on the ballot as a favorite son candidate in the May 5 presidential preferential primary. Welsh announced Friday in Washington that he had decided to become a favorite son candidate in order to keep the state’s 51 first ballot votes at the Democratic national convention from going by default to Alabama’s segregationist Gov. George Wallace. Wallace supporters have indicated they will try to place his name on the primary ballot. Indiana law requires national convention delegates to cast their first ballot votes for the winner of their party’s primary. With President Johnson not entering any primaries, Wallace could have walked off with the 51 Hoosier votes. A statement issued by the party’s state headquarters Friday said the move to place Welsh on the ballot was made to protect “our beloved leader,’’ President Johnson. A party spokesman said Welsh’s name would not be placed in nomination at the Atlantic City convention.
