2 Notable Events in Speaker's Career Two characteristic poses are shown here of Joseph W. Byrns of Tennessee, Speaker of the House of Representatives, who died early today in Washington. Above, he is shown signing the Patman bonus bill in May, 1935. Right, he arrives in Washington in August, 1934, to take charge of the work of the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee. Byrns' Death Shocks Capital; Was Stanch New Deal Pillar asked Mrs.

Byrns that in the event he died he wanted the House chaplain, the Rev. James Shera Montgomery, to go to Nashville to hold the funeral. Bankhead Successor Continued From Page 1 The chamber which the 66-yearold Speaker had guided through history-making times met briefly and William B. Bankhead of Alabama to take his place. A lawyer with 20 years experience in the House, Bankhead himself recovered only a few months ago from an illness possibly aggravated by the strain of his position as majority leader.

The name of the new Speaker of the House of Representatives is a powerful one on both sides of the capitol. Speaker Bankhead's brother, John Hollis Bankhead II, since 1930 has sat in the Senate chamber, where his father was a famous figure years ago. The new Speaker is the father of Tallulah Bankhead, famous actress. The Senate called a halt in its debate of the tax program, one of the vital measures Byrns had sought to steer to the statute books before the opening of the national party conventions. Leaders said it would adjourn out of respect to him until the hour of the funeral tomorrow, when it would assemble to to the House chamber, Senate leaders said they would still try to pass the tax bill tomorrow or Saturday in order to get the controversial measure into conference but that there was virtually no prospect for final action on it before the Republican convention beginning Tuesday.

They said that with the tax bill in conference, three day recesses would be taken during the convention, and that an effort would be made to complete action on the conference report and adjourn Congress finally during the week between the Republican and Democratic conventions. Everywhere in the capital were heard expressions of shock and grief at the Speaker's passing. Capital Flags Lowered The President ordered all flags on Government buildings at half staff, including that over the White House. He also cancelled today's Cabinet meeting and all other engagements for the day. President Lauds Byrns The President issued a statement saying he personally mourned the passing of "a steadfast friend of many years." The statement follows: "Speaker Byrns belonged to that school of statesmen which is the hope and justification of our democracy.

"By a happy coincidence he represented for more than a quarter of a century the Hermitage District of Tennessee, a district of sentimental significance because it holds the sacred dust of Andrew Jackson; and there was about Speaker Byrns a simplicity and rugged honesty which we have come to associate with the name of Jackson. "Fearless, incorruptible, unselfish, with a high sense of justice, wise in counsel, broad of vision, calm in adversity and modest in victory, he served his State and the nation with fidelity, honor and great usefulness. "I personally mourn the passing of a steadfast friend of many years." Bankhead Applause Stilled Members of the House stood silently with bowed heads as South Trimble, clerk, told the House it was his "sad and painful duty" to announce the sudden and unexpected death of "the beloved Speaker Joseph W. Byrns." After his election, Bankhead walked down the aisle. There was a scattering of applause, quickly hushed by "no, no's," from the chamber.

The oath of office was administered by Representative Sabath dean of the House. Members throughout the chamber were visibly affected as Chaplain James Shera Montgomery read Tennyson's "Crossing the Bar." Representative McReynolds offered the official resolution on his death. "He loved the members of this House and they loved him." McReynolds said. "He always tried to be fair with both political parties and his influence in this House was many times demonstrated. "He has gone through trying times and when history is written Joe Byrns will go down as one of tho truly great speakers of this body.

"Mr. Speaker," he concluded, "I can't say more at this time." House then adopted McReynolds' resolution formally expressing "profound sorrow," and providing for the appointment of a committee of four to make arrangements for a State funeral in the House Chamber and for a committee of 60 House members to attend the funeral in Nashville. The new speaker appointed Representatives O'Connor N. Taylor McReynolds Snell N. as the committee on arrangements.

The House then adjourned at 12:17 p.m., just 17 minutes after convening. A totally unexpected heart attack, followed by a cerebral hemorrhage, brought death at 1:15 a.m, E. D. T. today, to the Tennessee farm boy who rose to wield the speaker's gavel during a period in which much history was made.

He would have been 67 years old next July 20. The passing of this tall and rangy pillar of his party in the turbulent hours of hard fighting between New Deal and its foes plunged the legislative situation into further uncertainty. Almost until the hour he was stricken, Byrns had labored at a tremendous pace to pass the program through Congress swiftly so the session could end on Saturday if possible. Friends believed the hard work he insisted on doing may have hastened the fatal attack. Many observers believed that, with the speaker gone, the session now may last well into next week or perhaps longer.

Health Apparently Good Rainey, who WAS Byrn's prede- Act cessor, died on Aug. 19, 1934, when Congress was not in session. Apparently in good health in midafternoon yesterday when the House adjourned out of respect for Representative A. Piatt Andrew who died at his home in Massachusetts Tuesday, Byrns returned to his hotel. At 6:30 p.m.

he suffered a heart attack. At midnight, said Dr. George W. Calver, Congressional physician, the speaker suffered a cerebral hemorrhage, and died an hour and a quarter later without regaining consciousness. An attack of influenza several years ago, said Dr.

Claver, had left Byrns with "a bad heart." 26 Years in Congress The shaggy-browed leader, who, upon his death had served 26 years in Congress, long hade had an eye on the speakership, role played so vigorously by such figures as Champ Clark, Uncle Joe Cannon and Nicholas Longworth. When on Jan. 3, 1935, he stepped Mrs. Oehlman, Victim of Rare Heart Malady, Buried Today Funeral services were to be held today at the home of Mrs. Anna Oehlman, 39, who died Tuesday afternoon, a week after an unusual operation had been performed on her heart by Dr.

John M. Scannell, staff physician at Mary Immaculate Hospital. Suffering from enlargement of the heart which caused a binding to lungs, ribs and diaphragm, Mrs. Oehlman had been confined to bed for more than a year, where. even at complete rest, she was in great pain.

The operation consisted of remov- Funeral Services For Judge Kilgen Set for Tonight Classmate of Hughes to Be Buried in Private Rites at Maspeth Friday, Special to The Eagle Roosevelt, June 4-Masonic funeral services will be conducted for former City Judge George J. Kilgen of Long Beach by Kane Lodge, 454. tonight at 8:30 in the Chester A. Fulton Sons Funeral Chapel, 49 W. Merrick Road, Freeport.

Burial, which will be private, will be in Lutheran Cemetery, Maspeth, tomorrow. Mr. Kilgen died Tuesday at his home here. He was a classmate of Chief Justice Charles Evans Hughes, He was 80. Surviving are a daughter, Mrs.

Dorothy Dingwall of ham Manor; a son, George J. Kilgen Jr. of Union, N. and a stepson, Ralph Leonard of Island Park. Born in Manhattan, he was the son of George Kilgen, who founded the Kilgen Organ Company St, Louis, He was a graduate of Columbia University.

His law office was at 20 Vesey Manhattan. Mr. Kilgen moved to Long Beach in 1920 and six years later Mayor Frank Frankel appointed him city judge. 'He served two years. His health failed two years ago and he retired from law practice.

Many years ago he served in the 7th and the 71st Regiment, and became a Regiment, lieutenant. He was a member of the New York Bar Association. into the speakership from the majority leadership to which he had been raised by the Democratic victory of 1932, there lay behind him a long record of service on the House Appropriations Committee. He had been chairman of the subcommittee whose duty it push through the chamber the huge appropriations during the World War. Besides being a skilled parliamentarian, he had spent years studying the dull but vital figures that tell fiscal story of the Government.

In his personal appearance Byrns easily fitted into the role of speaker. He was almost 6 feet 2 inches tall, shaggy-browed and rugged of countenance. His eyes were friendly and his Southern voice soft and rolling. His even baritone said often to have calmed tempests. which swirled about his office.

Political Foes Personal Friends Political foes were listed amung his personal friends in the capital. Back home, too, most of the foik in the seven counties that made up his fifth district must have been satisfied, for none opposed him when he ran for Congress. Byrns apparently had no desire to enter politics in the early days of his law career at Nashville. However, friends urged him to run for the State Legislature in 1895 and four years later he was Speaker ot the House. He was elected to the State Senate in 1900.

By then he had left long years of hard work behind him. Born on a farm near Cedar Hill in northern Tennessee July 20, 1869, he was the eldest of six children. The little red schoolhouse gave him his first education. The family later moved to Nashville where Byrns went to high school and entered Vanderbilt University. During vacations he worked in the tobacco fields, but in 1890 he became a member of the bar.

It was while he was speaker of the Tennessee House that he married Miss Julia Woodward of Nashville. They had one son, Joseph W. Jr. Mayor Expresses Regret Mayor LaGuardia, who served with Speaker Byrns in Congress, today expressed his deep regret at the Speaker's passing. He said: "The country has lost the finest type of public servant.

Joe Byrns was just that. He was one of our most modest national leaders. In my 14 years association with him, I not only learned to admire him but had a very deep affection for him. He distinguished himself as chairman of the powerful Appropriations Committee. and earned the distinction of being Speaker of the House, the second most important office in the country.

I mourn the loss of a close personal friend." Byrns, When Termed A Great Statesman, Said 'Out of Order' Washington, June 4 (AP) On Speaker Byrns' last birthday members of the House rose and applauded when one of their number called attention to the day and praised the Speaker as "one of America's greatest statesmen." Representative O'Connor roared out "I ask unanimous consent that the Speaker may proceed to speak for 40 minutes." Byrns, grinning broadly, banged down the gavel and shouted back: "The gentleman is distinctly out of order." Rosa Ponselle and Lawrence Tibbett once brought surprise pressure House action on a bill to treater a Federal department of science, literature and art. They did it by singing their best numbers in Byrns' office. ADVERTISEMENT WHY HAVE SORE FEET Why "cripple around" with aching. itching. burning feet when positive relief is available?
