RODENbURY Ill AND

Nent Home Three Weeks
Ago, Is in Serious Condition.

The colleagues Of Congressman Roden.
bury learned today Of the serious H.
ness Of the Georgia member at his

three weeks ago. For the last six
months he has been on the verge of =
nervous breakdown, and when he was

health.
Mr.. Rodenbury was under the care
of physicians here for q week or more,
and then 1t was determined to move him
to his home In Thomasville, Ga
The physical breakdown Of the Geor-
gia member - attributed largely to the
numerous filibusters he conducted dur
ing the Sixty-second Congress AGAINST
omnibus pension bills. Almost unaidef
the Georgia member held up, for days at
time, pension Legislation, which he
alleged to be In the interest Of those
not entitled to II. and the wear and
tear upon his nerves became more ap-
ticeable as the session progressed.
The first indication OF serious Illness
was nearly two months ago. when he
notified The House that he would Be M
able to serve on the lobby committee,
and Speaker Clark appointed Congress
man Ferris Of Oklahoma In his place.
