eign Commerce Committee, was
known as a political non-con-
formiSt. Generally, however, he
went along with former Presi-
dent Truman'S foreign policy.
But his opposition to the
nomination of Edwin w. Pauley
as Undersecretary of the Navy
drew a strong letter of protest
from President Truman. During
hot exchanges, Senator Tobey
revealed he had made secret
recordings of two telephone talks
with the President in 1951-a
statement the President called
Outrageous"
He fought vigorously against
former President Roosevelt's
foreign policy before the out
break of war.
Born in ROxbury, Mass.
Senator Tobey was a self-made
type, ending his formal educa-
ton at 16 to earn his own living
in Roxbury, Mass, where he was
born July %, 1880.
He tried his hand at insurance,
banking and farming and in
1924 became president of the
F. M. Hoyt Shoe Co., of New
Hampshire. His political career
began with election to the Tenn
pie IN. H. Board of Selectmen.
Starting in 1915 he served three
non-conSecutive terms in the
New Hampshire House, was
speaker of that body, then
served as President of the State
Senate. He became Governor in
1929, served three terms in the
United States House, and was
elected to the Senate in Novem-
Der, 1898.
His first experience with the
Federal Government came dur
ing World War I when he served
under Herbert Hoover, then food
administrator, in Washington.
Senator Tobey's four children
were born to his first wife, Fran
celia M. Lovett of Boston, whom
he married June 2, 1902. She
died in August, 1947.
The children are Russell and
Charles Tobey and Mrs. T. A.
Munsen of Rochester, N. Y, and
Mrs. Sterling Dean of Washing
ton.
On May 26, 1948, Senator
Tobey married Mrs. Loretta
Capell Radenhorst of Washing
ton, retired school teacher and
widow with three sons. She died
in 1851 and on September 20,
1852, Senator Tobey married the
former Mrs. Crompton, widow of
a Philadelphia leather executive.

Mr.. Durig has a lively recol-
lection Of taking the statute to
the White House to present it to
President Franklin D. Roosevelt.
But a secretary told him the
President asked him to take it
back until a place could be found
for it. Mr.. Durig took it to the
Mayflower, where it decorated
the ballroom for a peace dinner
on May 20, 1888, given by the
District Chapter Of the Women's
International League.
A few days later a military or
ganization held a dinner there
but said the statute couldn't re-
main in the same room with
them. It was moved out and COW
cred up. June Is, 1888, The Star
had a piece about it, with a pic
ture Of the statute. That's the
last definite word Of it.
Disarmament fell into disre-
pute later on. But recently, Mr..

Senator Tobey also admired
the Senator from Tennessee.

his candidacy for the presidency,
Senator Tobey said it would
be a wonderful idea if the Sen

Was Serving Third Term.
Serving his third term in what
had been a comparatively un-
eventful career, Senator Tobey
bolted into the national spot
light with the advent of tele-
vision hearings.
His peppery questioning of
big-shot crime figures, coaxing
them with Biblical admonition
to confess their sins, became a
familiar living-room scene to
TV viewers.
= Thousands of congratulatory
fan letters flooded the Senator,
encouraging him to repeat his
televiSion appearances in the in
vestigation of the New York
New Jersey dock rackets.
Showdown With O'Dwyer.
One of the highlights of the
crime hearings came in New
York in a Tobey showdown with
former Mayor William ODwyer
Accused by Mr.. ODwyer of ac-
cepting New York campaign con-
tributionS in 1850, the Senator
denied it and proved his point
Then he swiftly turned the ia
bles and demanded to know why
Mr.. O'Dwyer had visited the no.
toriouS racketeer, Frank Costello
during the war.
Said Senator Tobey:
81 want to say in my behalf
that have lived long years ard
God has been good to me l am
a poor man, and always will be.
I still have a burden OF debts
from the First World War on my
shoulders. But there is one thing
I am. I am free man. And
am willing that anything I ever
did or said or wrote should stand
in the light of day to anybody
friend or foe alike"
Senator Tobey was the second
member of the Senate to die
within a month. On June 26,
Senator Willis Smith, Democrat,
OF North Carolina, died.
Night Sessions Mentioned.
Three days ago Senator Morse
and Senator Anderson, Democrat,
Of New Mexico alluded to Senator
Smiths death in asking for a
curtailment Of night sessions as
Congress speeds toward adjourn
ment.
Long before he donned his
green eyeshade to face the tele-
vision lights. Senator Tobey was
known for his sulphurous out
bursts, tinged with Biblical and
classical passages.
Back on his New Hampshire
farm, he conducted old-faSh-

tears streaming down his face.

Two tuberculosis Drugs
Combined 10 Fiqhf Disease

Two effective anti-tubercular
agents, streptomycin and isonia-
lid, have now been combined
chemically into a single new drug
called tohydrazid," it has
been announced in New York.
The Medical g. Pharmaceuti-
cal Information Bureau said
early tests Of this new drug in
dictate it should be a powerful
weapon in the hands of the tu-
berculosis specialist, since it is
useful against tuberculosis germs
which are unable to Withstand
the attacks of either streptomy-
Gin or isoniazid alone. Strepto-
mycin is now the standard agent
used against tuberculosis, while
iSoniazid, announced last year,
has rapidly assumed a position
of importance as an additional
therapy, it was said.
The two agents were combined
chemically in the laboratories
of Charles Pfizer & Co., Brook
lyn pharmaceutical firm, so that
one gram of streptomycin and q
little more than a quarter Of a
gram Of iSoniazid can be given
in a single injection. A number
of recent reports suggested that
the two agents given together
may be the best anti-tubercu-
losis drug combination now
available to doctors.
This view, the information
bureau reported, is charged by
the tuberculosis Chemotherapy
Trials Committee of the British
Medical Research Council.

founded criticism" Of program
to streamline military buying.
A House Armed Services in

in a report last night the ex-

Ohio, is subcommittee chairman.
See 81 Billion Saving.
The project, ordered by Con-
gress last year, is to lump is
duplicating inventory lists into
a single catalog covering the
millions of items used in COM
mon by the military services.
congressman say the new cata-
log when completed will save
up to 81 billion a year.
The Pentagon'S defense man.
agement staff reported last jan
uary that the first part of the
catalog, covering foodstuffs,
failed to include all the informa-
tion required by law and indi-
Gated the project would never
be completed.
