against any union leader forbidding
him from encouraging or melting
members of the union to leave their

Rites for Ex-senator Donohey
Set for Thursday in Ohio
Rare Tropical Disease
Caused Death Despite
Blood Tronsfusions
BY the Associated Press

COLUMBUS, Ohio.-Funeral SER
vices for Alvin Victor (Vic) Dom
ahey, u, former Ohio Governor and
Senator, will be held Thursday at
New Philadelphia, Ohio.
Mr.. Donahey died in a hospital
here yesterday of rare tropical
blood disease, histoplasmosis cap
sulatum. DR.. James B. Johnson,
his son-in-law, said this was the
third case in medical history to be
diagnosed during the life of a
patient.
I'VE identified the disease a few
hours before he died." the physician
said, from an analysis of a lymph
gland removed from his neck"
DR.. johnson was the Army
physician who saved Premier TOTO
after the japanese warlord at
tempted suicide.
Senator Huffman OF Ohio, another
son-in-law, twice donated blood in
an effort to prolong the life of Mr..
Donahey.
fTeSlOenL SenOS message.
No one could say how or where
Mr.. Donahey contracted the disease,
although his family recalled that in
1929 he lived for several weeks in
trailer while visiting Texas and
Mexico.
President Truman sent this mes
sage of coincidence to the widow: Il
have learned with deepest regret of
the loss which has come to you and
yours with such tragic force. Mrs.
Truman joins me in this assurance
OF heartfelt sympathy"
Mr.. Donahey, Democrat, was
elected to the Senate in 1884 and
served one term. In 1910, near
the end of the term, he surprised
politicians generally by announcing
he would not be a candidate to
succeed himself. Democrats feared
that his statement would weaken
the national ticket in Ohio and
President Roosevelt said publicly he
hoped Mr.. Donahey would reconsid-
er his action
He gave his IS years of public
service and health considerations as
reasons for refusing to seek another
term in the Senate.
Since his retirement from public
life Senator Donahey had devoted
himself to his duties as president of
the Motorists Mutual Insurance Co.
He made his home in Huntsville,
Ohio, although he maintained
business address in Columbus.
Mr.. Donahey was admired by
thousands of Ohioans, who knew
him as Honest Vic" sobriouet
