 The nations Jewy-Brandeis wa the first Jew to sit on the court spoke through Henry Monslky president of BNai B'Rith.
 "Serving both justice and thC renaissance of the Jewish people with devotion and faithfulnesS Justice Brandeis was one of thu great moral forces of our day, Monsky said. Better than anyone he summed up his own career when he said his philosophy of life wal high thinking and simple living" Final funeral arrangements have not been made but a statement by the family said services would be strictly private" and admission would be by card only.
 BrandeiS had been in excellent health for his age he would have been 05 Nov. 1S--since his retire ment on Feb. 13, 1889. He and Mrs Brandeis had just returned last month from Chatham, Mass, where for years they have spent the sum- mers with their children and grand- children.
 The heart attack Wednesday was not announced until Thursday night when friend of the family revealed that his condition was grave"
 Members of the family were sum- moned and at his bedside last night in addition to Mrs. Brandeis, were his two daughters, Mrs. Jacob Gill bert of New York and Mrs. Paul Raushenbush of Madison, Wis, and a sister. The justice also is sur. vived by several grandchildren.
 Brandeis' death closes @ long career of public service which began as 6 young crusading lawyer in Boston.
 Brandeis was denounced in 191t as an enemy" of American insti- tutions when President Woodrow Wilson appointed him.
 This friend of justice and of n1er will ornament the high court oi which we are so justly proud, Wilson replied.
 His appointment created such a storm of protest that five months of Senate hearings were held be- fore 1t was approved.
 With Oliver Wendell Holmes, Son of @ famous patric:aIl Boston doc- tor, Brandeis, the son of Bohemi- an immigrants, teamed to make the most famous of Supreme Court 'dissenters' in history.
 For years 1t was always Justices Holmes and Brandeis dissent" IL was not until after Holmes had died and some IA years after Brandeis had become 8 justice that the tide of juridical opinion turn ed and Brandeis found c majority of the court in agreement with him.
 He was born Nov. l3, 1856 in Louisville, Ky, eight years after his parents left Bohemia during a revo- luton. He studied in the Louisville public schools and attended the university there. In 1872 he was taken to Germany where he studied at the Amen Real Schule, Dresden.
 In this European interlude his family lost Its fortune and young Brandeis returned to the United States to work his way through Harvard Law School, with high honors.
 From then on he remained . New Englander.
 He was still engaged in private practice and had never served as judge in any court, when Wilson placed him on the highest bench.
 But his philosophy of govern- ment, economies and law was well crystallized. It was on the bench that he expounded for years--usu- ally in dissentS from majority opinions-his opposition to the big monopolies and trusts, opposition to anti-labor legislation but also opposition to labor organizations that disregarded the rights of its members as individuals. Years be- fore the New Deal he championed social legislation that he saw en- acted in his later years-minimum wage laws, the right to collective bargaining, and social security.
 With Holmes, he advocated the right of Congress to experiment with legislation so long as the ex- periments abided by the basic ideas of the constitution. Like Holmes he disagreed vigorously with the jus tices who used the interstate com- merce and due process clauses of the constitution to invalidate acts of Congress.
 He often has been called the First New Dealer"
