LONDON (AP) — Private
funeral services are planned for
T. S, Eliot, one of the 20th. century's greatest poets.
Eliot, 76, a native of the United States and a British subject
since 1927, died at his home in
London Monday night. The
cause of death was not announced.
A voice of the "Lost Generation" between the world wars,
Eliot revolutionized poetry nnd
also was a noted critic and successful playwright. He won the
Nobel - Prize for 1 iterature in
1948.
The same year he was awarded the Order of Merit, one of
Britain's highest honors, l a s t
T. 8. ELIOT
believe there was a w^y out of
the waste land. In "Murder in
the Cathedral" and "The Cocktail Party" he developed th«
thesis that Western man must
choose between a pagan society'
and a way of life guided by
Christian principles.
year he received the U.S. Med?l
of Freedom, highest civil honor
the president can bestow.
Eliot's best known poem was
"The Waste Land," published in
1922. Other major poems included "The Love Song of J. Albert
Prufrock" (1917), "The Hollow
Men" (1955), "Ash Wednesday"
(1930) and "The Cocktail Party," in 1950.
"The Waste Land" depicted
an age of uncertainty, despair,
squalor and decay through
which a wanderer struggled in
the hope of finding an% abiding
faith but met only disillusionment.
Eliot later was converted to
Anglo-Catholicism and came to
The son of a St. Louis brick
manufacturer, Eliot was educated at Harvard and the Sorbonne in Paris. After 1914 he
made his home in London. He
taught for a time at a boyi'
school, worked for'seven years
in a bank, and then settled down
at Faber & Faber. one of Britain's leading publishing houses,
as a full-time director. He did
his writing after hours.
Scout Officers Stay On Job
Seventeen leaders of Yonkers District of Boy Scouts,
elected to office over a year
ago, today reported they will
continue in office without new
nominations and elections, under a moratorium during
which the district's controversy with Washington Irving
Council is being investigated
and settled by National and
Regional Scout Councils.
The decision, made at the
first meeting in 1965, was unanimous, says Herbert K. Kanarek, the group's chairman,
"in keeping with the letter and
spirit of the mutual moratorium agreement between the
executive committee of the
National Council and the Yonkers District."
Till End Of Controversy
The committee agreed to
continue "until the end of the
S c o u t i n g controversy," he
added.
The district officers were
"dissolved" by the parent
council early last year. Ambrose V. McCall Jr. was appointed reorganization committee head, and he was elected late in May at a special
election In the City Club, which
Mr. Kanarek and his slate had
repudiated as illegal. The controversy has : been under inquiry by a National Council
group since July 8.
Mr. Kanarek said he will
continue in office "as directed
by the committee, and continue negotiations unjil an honorable and democratic solution
is reached for the purpose of
bettering the Scouting program in the City of Yonkers."
He reported that seven monthly district meetings were
held during 1964, bringing together over 1,000 Scouters and
their wives. Fourteen district
officer meetings took place
during the year, he added,
with "100 per cent attendance
at each and with institutional
guests."
Says 300 Boys Suffer
Walter Tice, training chairman, reported four training
sessions were held, and Walter Kardash, organization and
extension chairman, said his
committee had reviewed charters and brought Scouting to
more boys in Yonkers during
the year than in the preceding three years. He expressed
dusappointment that those
charters reviewed by his committee were at first accepted
by Washington Irving Council
and then "not accepted" after
February. '

Welfare Walkout
Closes 9 Centers
NEW YORK—Nine Manhattan Welfare Department centers were forced to close,yesterday as 8,000 workers went
on strike.
Approximately .4,500 nonstriking . employes
srossed
picket lines to maintain most
services and keep the city's
16 other centers open.

a very, veiy hard man but he
was also a generous man,"
one leader remarked.
"He read the handwriting
on the wall," another commented. "When you don't
have the votes you have to
withdraw or be beaten in a
showdown. Tom didn't want a
showdown. He didn't have the
votes any more."
"He did an awful lot for the
city way back when," a young
Democrat offered. "It's different now. He felt little groups
stirring against him. He couldn't fight anymore."
Mr. Brogan voiced his contempt for the current ouster
movement in his parting letter: "I would have pinned
their cars back 10 vears ago."
'He Can Hardly Sit*
But Mr. Brogan is 80 now.
"He has arthritis very bad on
one leg," a friend said. "I
know he feels the pain something fierce. Sometimes he can
haixily sit. Rut you never sea
it on his face."
"He knew politics better
than anyone else in the city,"
said Kenneth T. Grosse, a former Democratic councilman.
"He served the city well."
"He was a tough competitor," said a city official
who fought and served with
Mr. Brogan. "He was the best
in his day—tops in the old
school."
"I can't see why he's quitting," said one district leader.
"He never quit anything before. I guess he's just getting
old."
'A I/sider Of Men'
One leader hailed his resignation as "beneficial to the
party." "This gives us a
chance to rejuvenate the Democratic Party through new
loaders."
"Tom Brogan just plain
stayed in power too long,"
another polltlcan said. "There
are a lot of bad things you
can say about htm—he could
be real mean at times—but
he was a leader of men."
A group of Democratic leaders here who have been working for Brogan's ouster as
city leader had no comment
on his retirement.
Sol Friedman, Yonkers lawyer who also was working for
his retirement, said, "This action will remain for the immediate moment a matter for
conjecture. I believe I will
have more to reveal in the
coming month."
As Mr, Brogan announced
his retirement, Mr. Friedman

was firing off letters to Democratic ward leaders asking
to be heard on issues against
Brogan.
Who Wrote His Letter?'
He urged that time be taken
in the selection of a successor to "insure the election of
only the very best man. There
are many worthy young leaders within the present. Democratic ranks who have proven their integrity, independence and community value."
"I wonder who wrote his retirement letter?" asked an anti-Brogan leader.
Michael J. Kehoe, former
Sixth Ward councilman and
supervisor and a longtime
Brogan friend, said '.'The city
is, losing one of the most
prominent leaders we'll ever
have."
Mr. Brogan recently was
efected .to his '58th term as
president of the Chippewa
Club, Sixth Ward Democratic
organization he formed and
had headed since 1907. The
installation is Thursday night.
'Tom Brogan wiH be installed as president whether he is
well enough to attend or not,"
Mr.-kehoe said.

"I remember when I was
a kid. Tom Brogan used to
pitch pennies at us on Lake
Avenue." This recollection
came from a man now in hi*
50s.
' . "I owe Tom Brogan everything I have today," a Sixth
Warder declared. "It
was
during the Depression and my
kids were starving to death.
I went to Mr. Brogan and.
asked for a Job. He got me
one."
"Yon can say what you
want," this man added, "but
If it weren't for Mr. Brogan
I wouldn't be here today."
This type of loyalty is not
uncommon even today among
people helped by Mr. Brogan.

Tied-To-Bed
Death Probed
Investigation continued today
into the death of Mrs. Margaret
Mooney, 41, of 955 McLean Ave.,
who was found dead in her bedroom Sunday morning, with her
arms and legs tied.
Dist. Atty. Leonard Rubenfeld
said that "at this point it was
apparently a natural death despite the circumstances surrounding the finding of the
body."
The district attorney explained that Mrs. Mooney had
returned home Saturday night
after apparently having been
drinking heavily and members
of her family fastened her to her
bed to prevent her from falling.
In the morning she was dead.

The left-turn ban on the
Bronx River Parkway at the
Fondfield Road exit will go
into effect tonight, according
to Westchester Parks Commissioner Charles E. Pound.
The county, at the same
time, will close the St. Nicholas Ave. access entirely. It is
a small street north of Pondfield Road.
The 1,000 cars which make
the turns daily at Pondfield
Road will have to find alternate routes until the county
constructs new and safer access at the cost of up to $150,000, about 300 feet south of the
present location.

Some say he will remain the
power behind the scenes. But
others say he has lost his
grip completely.
"He's through, let's face
it," said one Democrat. "Even
the people he got Jobs for are
running out on him."
"As long as he's able physically and mentally he'll remain active in politics," said
a friend.
,Mr. Brogan was the last of
the old guard in Yonkers. The
flatfooted days of slugging it
out face to face have given
way to the suave, modern
politician.
Mr. Brogan claims victory
at the polls in the last 40 of
56 years. "My record stands
for my opponents to better,"
he said in stepping down.
