ELLIS A. Gimbe|, "a,
Store Chain Founder
Dies in Philadelphia
BY the Associofed Press

PHILADELPHIA, Mar. 17.-Ellis
A. Glmbel, ST., "a, department
store owner and philanthropist
died today at his home after an
illness of four days.
His physician gave .coronary
thrombosis as the cause of Mr..
Gimbel's death.
With him when he died were
his son, Ellis A.. jr.; a daughter
Mrs. Fridolyn Graham, and a
daughter-in-law, Mrs. Richard
Gimbel. The elder Mr.. Gimbeps
wife died in 1948.
Ellis Gimbel was widely known
in the business world as the dean
OF department. bookkeeping. With
six brothers and his father, he
founded a store system that now
includes branches in Philadelphia,
New York, Pittsburgh, Chicago
Detroit, Beverly Hills, Calf, Mil
Waukee, and Miami, Fla.
Since 1886, Gimbel-last suryiv-
ing brother-had served as chair
man Of the board of Gimbel Bros,
Inc.
Made Many Donations.
He was credited with being
among the first department store
owners to adopt such innovations
as store escalators, motor-d driven
trucks for delivery, and a testing
bureau for merchandise.
He was well known for his phil
anthropies, devoting much of his
time and wealth to the blind and
underprivileged.
Literally thousands of Phila-
delphia children were taken to the
circus by Mr.. Gimbel in recent
years. Gimbel-sponsored Thanks
giving Day parades are Philadel-
phia fixtures.
One of the most frequently told
stories about Mr.. Gimbel con-
cerned a little girl who went to
the Gimbel store in Philadelphia
after reading a newspaper adver-
tisement stating pianos could be
bought for "a mere song" .
Got Her Piano.
Mr.. Gimbel was informed of
her misunderstanding of the ad-
vertisement. He talked to the
youngster,. told her to sing for
him and gave her the piano she
had expected.
Mr.. Gimbel was born in Vim
cennes, Ind, November 9, 1895.
His father, Adam Gimbel, came
to this country from Bavaria in
1885 with a total capital of SIS.
The father opened small
store in Vincennes in 1912. Young
Ellis shared in the opening of a
store in Milwaukee in 1887, the
first big Gimbel venture. In 1894,
he and his brothers opened the
Philadelphia store and in 1910
went into the department store
business in New York City.
In addition to his store inter-
ests, Mr.. Gimbel with his son,
Ellis A., jr., was co-founder of
Philadelphia radio station WIP,
now the Pennsylvania Broadcast
ing Co.
Funeral services will be held at
2:30 pm. Sunday at the Keneseth

Washington (LPA) - President
Truman's proposal to abolish the
post of general counsel of the
NLRB, now held by Robert Den
ham, is running into hard times In
Congress. The reorganization plan
will take effect May II unless
either the House or Senate rejects
it.
The House Executive Expendi-
lures committee, after hearing both
sides, voted Is to z, on straight
party lines, to disapprove of res
olution by the late Rep. Ralph
Church (R, Ill., to reject the plan.
The committee acted after hearing
NLRB Chairman Paul Herzog,
speaking for a unanimous board,
voice "unequivocal" support for the
Truman proposal. Opponents testi-
flying included Gerard Reilly, high
paid management lobbyist and one
of the drafters of Taft Hartley,
William Barton for the US Cham
ber of Commerce, and several man
agement attorneys. Rep. Church, on
the first day of hearings, died Of

man Or, Mich.) became its chief
proponent before the committee.
Unless the House voted to block
the Truman proposal, Sen. Robert
A. Taft Or, Ohio) has already SER
we'd notice he'll move to reject it in
the Senate. Hearings are tentative
ly scheduled to start before the
Senate Executive Expenditures
committee on April A.
Members of the House group
agreed that an impressive case for
President Truman's proposal was
made by Herzog, who said that the
NLRB was a "two-headed agency"
because under the Taft Hartley act
the general counsel has powers in
dependent of his relationship to the
board.
Herzog pointed out that this
separation of powers "has caused
friction within the agency and con-
fusion among management and
