By LYLE c. WILSON United Press Stan Correspondent


 Washington, Feb. l3-tUP)- George R. Holmes, for almost 20 years Washington Bureau man. ager and chief political writer for the International News Service, Is dead.
 He died of heart disease early Sunday morning at his home here There will be services tomorrow al Il :30 6. m., in the chapel at It. Myer Va. Burial will be in Arlington Ma tional cemetery.
 Holmes Was-.an overseas veteran of the World war but thought little of that youthful interlude and rarely spoke of 1t. His life was bound ur in the daily work of Washington newspaperman. He never stepped out of that character. A couple oi inches of type in Who's Who in America set out the foundation of dates and distinctions upon which Holmes established his national reps utation. .., ..~
 Broke In News At 10
 He was i9-years-old when he broke in on the Indianapolis Sun in 1914 and he was A when he died. In be- tween Holmes worked briefly In the United Press in New York and or, the New York Evening Mail. In 1916 he joined the International News Service here and four years later he was named Washington manager, responsibility he dis charged so ably that his place in the capital became one of honor and distinction.
 Arlington cemetery where Holmes will lie is not strange ground to him He was there with the tools of his trade when the Big Story" broke He won Pulitzer prize citation for what he wrote that day about the burial of the unknown soldier.
 There are, in fact, few places in the United States where political news has broken that Holmes was not on hand. He covered the l93C naval conference in London and was over again for the economic confer ence in 1883.
 Last Big Assignment
 His last big one was last summer when President Roosevelt crossed the country to boost liberal candi- dates and challenge some of his own party's conservatives.
 Holmes knoked off few days after that hot and trying assignment for a rest at California's famous Bohemian Grove. But he had re- fused to take a full length vacation for several years.
