Jan. 29 (HE) William Allen White, " dean of the American country editors wnoae writings in his Emporia Ga-sette Ga-sette brought him national fame, died at his home early today, two weeks before his 76th birthday. White died of a heart attack, but his condition had been serious since tie underwent an abdominal operation at the Mayor clinic, Rochester, Minn., last October. He failed to recover fully, and was confined to his home during most of the months after the operation. He spent his last two weeks in bed. White, who purchased the Gazette Ga-zette in 1896, first achieved national na-tional recognition with an editorial entitled "what's the matter with Kansas." The editorial attacked the radical populists who, at that time, were rising to power in Kansas. ; The editorial' attracted the attention at-tention of Republican party leaders, lead-ers, including Mark Hanna, who had it- distributed nationally as a campaign pamphlet. White, maintained his affiliation with the Republica n party throughout his life, except for two brief breaks. He supported Theodore Theo-dore Roosevelt for the presidency on the "bull moose" ticket in 1912, and ran as an independent on an anti-Ku Klux Klan ticket for the governorship of Kansas in 1924. A confidant of presidents. White was a party leader and had an active part in formulating policy during the Coolidge, Harding and Hoover administrations. Always Liberal White always was Independent !n expressing his views, regardless regard-less of how they conflicted with current party policy, and in 1922 broke with his lifelong friend. Henry J. Allen, then governor of Kansas, over the Kansas industrial relations court. A railroad strike was In progress at the time and White placed a sign in his window win-dow reading: "We are for the striking railroad men 100 per cent." During the railroad controversy he wrote an editorial on freedom of speech entitled "to an anxious friend," which won him the pul-ltser pul-ltser prize for the best editorial of the year. White was interested in many liberal movements, but insisted that he was "first, last and always" al-ways" a newspaperman. He1 resigned re-signed as chairman of the anti-Isolationist anti-Isolationist committee to defend America bv aiding: the Allies In January, 1941, saving: ' "The job is too much for a mart who has to earn a living running run-ning a country newspaper." :..He spent his last two years .chiefly on ..editorial work, but left Emporia occasionally tor -speaK 10 midwestern groups about world Issues.

Democracy In Action- "The generous participation of the American people lit this fight is a sign' of a healthy condition of our nation," he said. "It is democracy in action. The unit or our people in helping those who are disabled in protecting the welfare of our young, in pre serving the eternal principle of Kindliness all of this is evidence of our fundamental strength the strength with which we are meeting our enemies throughout the world." Mr. Roosevelt remarked that in the midst of a "terrible war against tyranny and savagery," it is not easy for the nation to celebrate. "There cannot be much happiness happi-ness in our hearts as we contem-platef contem-platef the kind of enemies we face and the grimness of the task which lies before us." he said. "But we may thank God that here in our country we are keeping alive the spirit of good will toward one another which is the very essence of the cause for which we fight.' Mr. Roosevelt's physician had pronounced him healthier than at any time since he entered the White House 11 years ago. He had returned to the capital earlier in the day from a weeks rest at an undisclosed place. His talk was part of a one-hour program which began at 11:45 p. m. on all networks.
