lames V. Forrestal,
Former Cabinet Member,
Leaps to His Death
Washington, D. C., May 22—Jas.
V Forrestal, first American Secre
tary of Defense, took his own life
yesterday in a 13-story plunge from
the skyscraper Naval Hospital in
suburban Bethesda, Md.
The 57-year-old ex-Cabinet mem
ber, who entered the hospital earily
m April suffered from “operational
fatizue,” left behind his own
Epitaph, a hand-scrawled partial
:opy of a poem containing the line:
•‘Better to die and sleep the
never-waking sleep than linger
on”.
Forrestal made si death leap at
2 a. m. He apparently waited until
his attendant, R. W. Harrison, left
the room for a minute on what a
hospital spokesman described as
perfdrmance of duties.”
With Harrison gone, the former
Defense Secretary darted across the
hall from his 16th story room to a
pantry and hurtled to a court on
the third floor.
Mrs. Forrestal and her son
Michael, 21, were winging their
way home from Paris last night
aboard the White House plane, In
dependence after being informed of
the tragedy.
President Truman, in an unusual
move, issued a proclamation eulo
gizing Forrestal aid ordering all
flags of the government lowered to
half mast in the Ex-Secretary’s
memory.
The President said Forestal ex
hausted his strength by his unre
mitting labors in his burdensome
duties during the war “and the
criitcal years which have followed
the end of hostilities.”

Poem Dedicated to
Member School Faculty
near
Ft. Valley Farm Agent
Receives High Honor
“In appreciation for the marvel
ous job she has done this year,"
says a mother of one of the pupils
of the local school, “in the training
of more than fifty children, not
only mentally, but spiritually and
"uaiiu" iui j-unua morally as well,” dedicates the fol-
situation Secretary lowing poem to Mrs Winnie G.
Breazeale:
Building a Temple
A builder builded a temple,
He wrought it with grace and skill;
Pillars and grains and archers,
All fashioned to work his wilL
Men said, as they saw its beauty,
“It shall never know decay.
Great is thy skill, O Builder:
Thy fame shall endure for aye."
A teacher builded a temple
With loving and infinite care,
Planning each arch with patience.
Laying . each stone with prayer.
None praised her unceasing efforts.
None knew of her wondrous plan;
For the temple the teacher builded
Was unseen by the eyes of man.
Gone is the builder’s temple,
Crumbled into the dust;
Low lies each stately pillar,
Food for consuming rust.
Put the temple the teacher builded
Will last while the ages roll.
For the beautiful unseen temple,
It a child’s immortal soul.
—Author unknown.
Dedicated to Mrs. Breazeale by
Mrs. Carol Peacock.
