Barkley Dies Presenting
Washington & Lee Talk
LEXINGTON, Va., April 30 (AP)—Sen. Alben W. Barkley
(D-Ky.), collapsed and died today of a heart attack on the
stage he loved best—the political platform.
The 78-year-old "Veep" in the Truman administration,

New Farm Bill
OK'd Without
Soil Bank Plan
WASHINGTON, April 30 (R)
The House Agriculture Commit
tee approved a new farm relief
bill today but refused to write in
authority for President Dwight
D. Eisenhower to make soil bank
payments this year.
A Republican attempt to add
soil bank prepayments to the leg
islation was defeated on a party
line vote of 19-15.
Vote Is Unanimous
The committee voted unani
mously to send the bill to the
House floor, where the soil bank
issue—and others—will be fought
out all over again.
The bill is stripped of many
features objectionable to the ad
ministration and is the "official"
Democratic substitute for farm
legislation which Eisenhower ve
toes April 16.
It contained a soil bank plan
but not the authority Eisenhower
contends he needs to pay farmers
this year for cropland they prom
ise to withdraw from production
next year.
Indicate Reluctance
Democrats want to give the
farmers more income this year,
too, but some have indicated a
reluctance to have a GOP admin
istration pass out so much money
in an election year.

He had just recalled his na

gressman, junior senator, senior
senator, majority leader, vice
president and finally junior sena
tor again for the cheering stu
dents. His last words were:
"I am willing to be a junior. I
am glad to sit on the back row,
for I had rather be a servant in
the house of the Lord than to sit
in the seats of the mighty."

He stepped back as though try

p.m., brushing a microphone to
the stage with him.
Within five minutes Dr. Robert
Munger, university physician, was

was already dead. Dr. Munger
said the heart attack was either a
fibrillation or a coronary occlu
sion.
Wife Driven to Washington

with Mrs. Barkley to drive her
back to Washington in the Bark
ley car. Mrs. Francis P. Gaines,
wife of the W&L president, ac

grief from' President Eisenhower

have peace."
