EMPORIA, Kans., Jan. 90
William Allen White, famous
editor of the Emporia Gazette
and widely known as "the Sage
of Emporia," died today. He was
IS years old.
Mr.. White had been in failing
health for nearly a year and his
friends and associates had known
for some time that his condition
was dangerous. No public an
nouncement of his condition was
made, however, due to the family's
desire to be spared any added bur-
den.
In an attempt to regain his robust
health, Mr.. White entered the Mayo
Clinic at Rochester, Mimi, last
october. A major operation fol-
lowed.
A month later he returned to
Emporia but was unable to resume
his usual duties. He has been con-

Japan's reaction to the tale of

The Owl Domestic Branch would
be reduced to a small news bureau,
concerned mainly with the clear
ance and issuance of official releases
from war agencies here, along with
small radio and moving picture

Whether Mr.. Price would care to
take both censorship and foreign
propaganda under his wing appeared
doubtful. That gave weight to the
possibility that Mr.. Sherwood. a
friend of Mr.. Roosevelt and writer
of White House speeches, might
survive the shake-up with authority
largely unimpaired.
The owl controversy centers on

Byrd Condemns

Resents Demoad
To Put Dr.. Sovitsch
On Hospital Stoff
BY DON S. WARREN.

Senator Byrd, Democrat, OF
Virginia today issued a sharp
blast at Senator Guffey, Demo-
crat, Of Pennsylvania for threat
ening a Senate investigation Of.
the Health Department for re-
fusal by the Commissioners and
Health Officer Rutland to give a
requested hospital assignment
to the Guffey family physician,
DR.. Eugene de Savitsch.
Senator Byrd urged the Commits
calling the Guffey threats repre-
hensible" and contemplate. He
predicted that, should Senator
Guffey attempt to carry out his
threat, neither the Senate nor
House would permit you or your
subordinates to be coerced in this
manner"
The Virginian also declared that
as soon as Democratic caucus
could be held, the question of Sen
ator Guffey's continued service as
chairman of the Senatorial Demo-
cratic Campaign Committee would
be raised. He said he was conf
dent Senator Guffey would be re-
moved from this position.
Byrd Writes to Mason.
Senator Byrd's statements were
contained in a letter to Commits
sioner Guy Mason, which reads as
follows:
Il have been very much interested
in the controversy between you and
Senator Guffey. I read the letter
that Senator Guffey wrote you in
which he threatens to have a con-
gressional investigation unless you
did certain things for some friend of
his and his threat to remove DR..
Rutland because he has refused to
authorize man desired by Senator
Gufey to perform operations, as
this man was regarded as unquah-
fed.
This was especially reprehensible,
it seems to me, because it was pro-
posed that Savitsch would only per-
form operations on INDECENT pa
tients who could not protect them
selves.
Life and Death Question.
This is question of life and
