user: Problem: Barrait O'Hara, at 82, Is Oldest Member of House

WASHINGTON, Dec. 5 (UPI) In 1895, at the age of 13, Bar­ratt O’Hara accompanied an ex­pedition through Nicaragua, marking the route of a pro­posed ocean‐to-ocean canal. At 15, he ran away from his home at Benton Harhor, Mich., to fight in the Spanish‐American War.

In 1964, at 82, Mr. O’Hara is the oldest member of the House of Representatives.

Of 2,399 roll calls since his present service began Jan. 3, 1953, he has responded to all but two.

The years between spanned a multitude of careers: soldier, journalist, lieutenant governor, motion‐picture executive, radio commentator, homicide defense attorney, and Congressman.

He is the only man in Con­gress who is a veteran of the Spanish‐American war. He be­lieves that the conflict marked the emergence of the United States as a world (power, and that historians have failed to give proper recognition to this. He propounds this theory in a House speech every Feb. 15, the anniversary of the sinking of the Maine in Havana harbor.

Mr. O’Hara, as dean of the House, is as ready for a good fight now as when he was the youngest United States soldier in the siege of Santiago. As recently as March. 1964, he lit­erally bled in defense of a project.

The incident occurred during debate on the authorization bill for military construction. The legislation included a proposed transfer of Fifth Army head­quarters from Mr. O’Hara's dis­trict in Chicago.

He tried in vain to challenge statements being made in de­fense of the transfer. Repre­sentatives Charles S. Gubser, Republican of California, re­fused to yield the floor to him.

Shouting, “I hate to fight cowards,” Mr. O’Hara leaped to his feet, stumbled, fell and struck his head against a wood­en chair arm. Fellow Democrats succeeded in quieting him. The Capitol physician bandaged his bleeding scalp wound, and Mr. O’Hara returned to the House floor.

His courage is legendary. The late attorney Clarence Darrow was quoted as having said: “I am envious of only one thing in the world—I wish I had Bar­ratt O’Hara's courage.”

It was a characteristic he dis­played at 13, when he accom­panied his father, Circuit Judge Thomas O’Hara, to Nicaragua, where the judge was President Grover Cleveland's special rep­resentative during a dispute with Britain.

“I’ve never liked snakes, and there were lots of them in Central America,” Mr. O’Hara said.

But he remained for the canal­marking expedition, accompa­nied a Smithsonian Institution

He was a sophomore in high school when the Spanish‐Ameri­can War broke out. Giving his age falsely, Mr: O’Hara enlisted in the 33d Michigan Volunteer Infantry, which followed Theo­dore Roosevelt's Rough Riders as the second American expedi­tionary force into Cuba. At the age of 16, he served as chief scout for the brigade, and later was awarded the Order of Mil­itary Merit by Cubans for his part in the war.

‘Never Had Fear of Death’

“I never had a fear of death then, only of having an arm or leg shot off,” he said. “That's a real dread when you’re so young.”

The war over, Mr. O’Hara re­turned to his high‐school class­es, then went on to the Uni­versity of Missouri. At the age of 20 he was sports editor of The St. Louis Chronicle.

The next year, he moved on to Chicago as sports editor of Chicago's American and later Sunday editor of The Chicago Examiner. Along with his news­paper work, he attended North­western University and Kent College of Law, and founded, published, and edited the Chi­cago Magazine. He also wrote a history of boxing, “From Figg to Johnson.”

Nine years later, Mr. O’Hara made a successful attempt for election as Lieutenant Governor He was 30 years old when he took office, the youngest man ever to hold the post.

At the end of his four‐year term, in 1917, he became pres­ident of a Hollywood motion­picture company, but resigned shortly after, upon the declara­tion of war with Germany. It was not until he was discharged from the Army at the end of World War I that he was free to pursue the career he de­scribed as his favorite.

“I always wanted to be a lawyer—there just were some detours,” he recalled.

In the 300 murder cases he tried, 92 per cent of his clients were acquitted and none received the death penalty.

He entered national politics in 1948.

Mr. O’Hara was 66 then, an age when most men have re­tired. But he persuaded the Democratic leaders to support him, thus gaming his party's nomination.

And at a time when Gen. of the Army Dwight D. Eisen­hower, the Republican Presi­

Problem: Assassin's Creed Rogue Is Coming for PC in 2015

The best place to play the Assassin’s Creed series remains a Windows PC, if you don’t mind waiting.

This isn’t a subjective thing: If you want the games to run at your monitor’s native resolution, for the older ones to look as good as they’re ever going to, and now to play the highest-fidelity version of Ubisoft’s upcoming ice-thronged conclusion to the Kenway saga, you’ll want a box that runs Windows. The catch: you have to wait for that last perk until next year.

Ubisoft just confirmed Assassin’s Creed Rogue will hit PC in “early 2015.” It did so in a slightly sneaky way, too: at the close of a brand new story trailer.

Assassin’s Creed Rogue lets you play as Shay Patrick Cormac, an Assassin who’s thrown in with the rival Templar faction. You’ll spend much of your time skippering arctic waters in a ship capable of river travel and parkouring across frozen ice-scapes, which is another way of saying “Assassin’s Creed IV with snow.”

The no-longer-exclusive PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 versions of the game arrive on November 11 this year, the same day Ubisoft’s franchise rethink Assassin’s Creed Unity arrives for PlayStation 4, Windows and Xbox One. But where the PS3 and Xbox 360 versions top out at 720p (1280 by 720), the Windows PC versions of these games have included subtle visual enhancements, and best of all, they run at whatever resolution your system’s capable of.
