SENATOR FRYE RESIGNS
Veteran Member of Congress Gives up
Presidency Pro Tenn

Washington, April 2S.--On account
of i'll health Senator Frye of Maine
yesterday rendered to the vice presi-
dent his resignation as president pro
tempore of the Senate. The senator
is confined to his apartment and his
friends, because of his advanced age
are apprehensiye. 1t is probable that
Senator Gallinger will succeed him
as president pro TEN.
Mr.. Frye who is 81 years old, last
year suffered an accident to his foot
which resulted in an abrasion that re-
fused to yield to medical treatment.
The injury has occasioned him much
worry and interfered with his getting
around. While he is said by his ply
sicians to be recovering rapidly now,
it was deemed best by his friends that
he tighten his responsibilities as
much as possible. For practically
seven years Mr.. Frye has ruled over
the Senate Senator Fryes commun-
ication was laid before the Senate,
but no action was taken.
