Long a Roosevelt friend, he accompanied the Democratic nominee this fall on his campaign travels as chief factfinder and statistician. The Press glibly...

Presently the weary, 66-year-old pedagog stumbled, fell by a stream near the highway. In the night a wind & rain storm beat down on "Quail Hill...
