Correspondents Praise.
From Sir Willmott Lewis, washington
correspondent Of the London Times, this
tribute to Mr.. Oulahan was received by
the editor Of the New York Times:
Il hope you will allow me, in your
columns, to pay my dear friend Richard
Oulahan a tribute Of respect and en-
during affection. The profession We
follow gained in honor by his life, and
has a heritage Of honor in his memory.
He had worked for newspapers for
more than 40 years, and I would put
my hand in the fire to back my belief
that not one Of all the thousa nds Of
columns he wrote ever contained a mar
row or ungenerous phrase. His achieve
ment has been for all men to see and
to admire. but we who worked with him
knew and will remember how his talent
and his experience were enriched in
their daily use by the beauty and simple
honesty of his character. He nothing
common did or mean for the sufficient
reason that the mean and the common
could not dwell in him. The men he
met, from the highest to the lowest,
gave him their faith without fear and
their confidence without hesitation
they recognized in him not only q
master Of his craft but a gentleman OF
whom honor and truth were as much
and as instinctively a part as the
breath he drew.
There will be memorials to him, but
none more lasting than the life he lived
and the example he set He has gone,
as the old Greek said, to join the
greater company, and there is no COM
pany Of the elect in which Richard
Oulahan could not sit as Of right"
Committees Are Chosen.

spondents for the Senate and House
