Beck Dies; Noted as Defender Of the Constitution Heart Attack Is Fatal to Ex- -Solicitor GeneralFoes Eulogize Him Washington, April 13 (AP) The sudden death of James Montgomery Beck, former Solicitor General and noted Constitutional lawyer, brought expressions of regret in the capital today.

The 75-year-old veteran of many battles at the Bar, in Congress and on the orator's rostrum suffered a heart attack shortly after his Easter luncheon in his home here yesterday and died within a short time. Although Beck had been vehement in his denunciation of New Deal policies, Administration leaders paid tribute to him today. Once Was Democrat Speaker Byrns, with whom Mr. Beck served in the House as a Republican member from Pennsylvania, said: "Every one will be shocked to learn of the death of this distinguished citizen, who has been so prominent in public affairs. He was lawyer of international prominence and a man of great ability." Beck was born in Philadelphia, and was graduated from Moravian College at Bethlehem, Pa.

At 19 he went to work as a clerk for the Philadelphia and Reading Railway. He studied law at night and was admitted to the bar in 1884. He began his political career as a Democrat, being appointed by President Cleveland as Federal Attorney in Pennsylvania. Disagreeing with the platform of William Jennings Bryan, he switched to the Republican party. He campaigned for McKinley in 1896 and four years later was appointed assistant torney general, a job in which he gained attention as a "trust-buster." Resigned From House Resigning in 1903 he entered private law practice in New York, but in 1921 President Harding appointed him solicitor general.

He represented the Government in approximately 1,000 cases before the Supreme Court, being successful in 78 percent. Beck was elected to the 1927 and re-elected for adHouse, ditional terms. During his third term, he announced on Sept. 13, 1934, that he was resigning. "Under present conditions," he "Congress is merely a rubber (stamp for one-four-hundredth the executive and to be part of a rubber stamp no longer appeals to me." Among his frequent criticisms of the New Deal was a recent assertion that "the administration of President Roosevelt has been an insidious revolt against our form of Government." He was a member of the lawyers committee of the American Liberty League.
