Temporary Illness Causes Miss C. M. Brown To Resign Position
Miss Charlotte M. Brown, head librarian, has been temporarily relieved of her position at her own request and on the advice of her physician. Miss Brown has not been well for some time and lt is thought that the rest will benefit her.
For 25 years Miss Brown has served this institution as librarian, beginning in 1908 when she was the only member of the library staff, until today when the staff boasts over 30 members. For the past two years the head librarian has devoted her time and efforts to the new Doheny Memorial library.
The library was planned on the basis of Miss Brown's advice and its completion represented the fulfillment of 25 years of careful planning. In the spring of 1930 she submitted to President von KleinSmid a report on the requirements for a university library which contained a practical description of the library of today.
Not only was material submitted in that report which embraced floor space requirements, but data on approved library equipment and materials from years back was included. Miss Brown also proved an invaluable assistant of the architect in the preparation of the plans for the build-
nig.
Miss Christian R, Dick, assistant librarian, has been appointed acting librarian ia Miss Brown’s place.

WASHINGTON, March 2.—(U.P) —Senator Thomas J. Walsh of Montana died today aboard a train bearing him northward toward the greatest triumph of his political career.
Beside him as he slumped to the floor of his pullman compartment was his bride—the former Senora Maria Nieves Truffin whom he married in Havana last Saturday. They had curtailed their honeymoon to hurry here so Walsh could be sworn in Saturday as attorney general in the Roosevelt cabinet
Bride I* Hysterical Death came to the 73-year-old senator shortly after dawn while the train streaked up through the Carolinas from Florida. Mrs. Walsh, herself suffering from a slight ailment, wag described by the physician who vainly tried to revive her husband, as being hysterical.
Dr. M. A. Pittman, who boarded the train when it halted at Wilson, N. C., said Walsh was dead when he reached his side. Death, Pittman said, was caused either by a faulty heart condition or hemorrhage of the brain.
Slightly III In Florida Walsh had complained of a slight illness in Florida, a physician there gave him medicine and advised him to delay his departure another day. But the senator said it was imperative he reach here in time for the inauguration.
The body was taken to Rocky Mount, N. C., where it was embalmed. Mrs. Walsh requested that the body be dressed in the suit the senator wore at his wedding. Tonight the body, accompanied by the widow, was enroute here and was expected to arrive at approximately the same time as President-elect Roosevelt’s train pulled in from New York.
Nation’s Capital Mourns The capital mourned WTalsh tonight as a brilliant lawyer, a senator of strong character, and as the grim and vigorous prosecutor who dug out the facts of the Teapot Dome oil scandal and brought the guilty to justice.
President-elect Roosevelt, who j had counted upon Walsh to be a pillar of strength in his cabinet, was deeply shocked.

WASHINGTON, Mar. 2—(U.E)— Closing of the New York Stock exchange “until the country can get its bearings” and an immediate special session of congress, were recommended today by William Gibbs McAdoo, senator-elect from California and former secretary of the treasury.
