Death Follow Stroke Mr. Swanson had been ill for vears. He collapsed just before a White House dinner in January, |

11087, and long had appeared in pub- |

lic only with the assistance of an | attendant. Yesterday morning at 7} a. m. he suffered a stroke as he lay | in bed at the fishing lodge which had been converted largely to his use. Just 25 hours later he was dead. Mrs. Swanson was him with when he died. { He came to the Cabinet from | long service in House and Senate | and had been Governor of Vir-| oinia hefore that. His membership | on the Senate Naval Affairs Committee was an honor he valued highly. | But within the last year Mr. Swanson became less and less ac- | tive. When William H. Woodin died | early in his first Administration. the | President filled the Secretaryship of | Treasury by promoting his friend | and neighbor, Henry Morgenthau | Jr. George H. Dern died in office as | Secretary of War and his place was | filled by promotion of an assistant | secretary, Harry H. Woodring. Entered Cabinet at 71 Mr. Swanson spend almost a third | of his life in close touch with naval | affairs. During the World War, he | served as acting chairman of the | Senate Naval Affairs Committee and | in that position was instrumental | in shaping the nation's wartime na- | val policies. In that capacity he] met Mr. Roosevelt, then Assistant Secretary of the Navy, and a close | friendship began. The secretary had been in public | life 48 years and he was 1 when | he took the Navy portfolio. He was born in Swansonville, Va, March | 31, 1862. His home was that of al typical Southern family of means. | Until 16 he attended the public | schools, then was obliged to leave due to financial difficulties besetting

[his father, John M. Swanson, mer- | [chant and tobacco manufacturer.

He saved enough money to attend the Virginia Agricultural & Mechanical College (now Virginia Pojvtechnic Institute). An address he delivered before the Sunday School assembly at Danville, Va. so impressed his listeners that they coffered to finance his college education and he entered Randolph-Ma-con at Ashland, Va. Later he entered the university of Virginia where he completed a law course. Went to Senate in 1910 Beginning law practice at Chatham, Va., he entered politics in 1892, being elected to the 53d Congress on the Democratic ticket. After seven vears he was elected Governor in 1995 and served for five years. In 1910 he was named to fill a vacancy in the U. S. Senate. He was reappointed and then elected for a term expiring in 1927. In 1922 and 1928 he was re-elected without opposition. | Mr. Swanson married twice. His | first wife, Elizabeth Deane of Ash-| land, Va. died shortly after the World War. In 1932 he married Mrs. Cunningham Hall, a socially prominent widow and & sister of his first wife. They have no children.

TOWNSEND TO DROP FIGHT THIS SESSION

WASHINGTON, July 7 (U. P).— Dr. Francis E. Townsend, leader of a movement for higger and better pensions for the aged, advised Congressional supporters of his $200-a-month plan today to abandon efforts at this session of Congress for enactment of pension legislation. Dr. Townsend's action came as the Senate Finance Committee approved, without substantial change, a House-approved bill liberalizing the social security program. The Senate will consider it Monday. In a letter to Senator Pevper (D. Fla), who was re-elected last vear with the support of Townsendites, Dr. Townsend suggested: “If we prosecute the passage of our constitutional amendment through the Senate and let our amendment to the Social Security Act go by default, we will do more for our cause than if we intensify our socalled ‘defeat, which an adverse the latter would almost surely produce.”
