died unexpectedly today of a heart
attack.
Death came in an ambulance on a
futile dash to an Ada hospital from
his ranch near here. An attempt at
artificial resuscitation failed.
Pugnacious and outspoken, Gassa
way zoomed in^o the public eye dur
ing his amazing campaign for fourth
district Representative in 1934.
In his single term, he was one of
the most picturesque figures in Wash
ington. He donned cowboy boots and
sombrero and rode a horse to the
Capitol steps. He was defeated for
re-election last year by Lyle Boren,
Seminole school teacher.
House Called Circus.
Once he called the House of Rep
resentatives a three-ring circus and
said it reminded him of a bunch of
Texas steers on stampede. When
colleagues protested, he replied:
“Well, now, gentlemen, I admit I
owe you all an apology for exaggerat
ing the situation slightly. I'll take it
back. I should have compared you to
a dog-and-pony show. But as a judge
I once sent a fellow to the electric
chair for taking life too seriously, and
I want to warn you against it.”
Gassaway was amazed when he first
entered the halls of Congress.
"Why, the wildest Young Democrat
convention down in Oklahoma was a
Sunday school convention compared
to this,” he declared. "Up here we
can't even hear ourselves think.”
Gassaway often referred to the “fu
tility of Congress” and declared only
“morbid curiosity’1 led him to cam
paign for Congress.
Views on Speechmakers.
"Some of these young whipper&nap
pers get on my nerves,” he said one
day. "That fellow talking now is
making a speech to take back home.
The biggest thing I’ve found up here
is a man wondering what to say and
how to say it so he can go back home
and get re-elected.”
April 27, on his last visit to Wash
ington, he announced he was "through
with politics.”
"This politics is the biggest fool
thing in the world,” he said. "It cost
me a quarter of a million dollars to
attempt to serve this State. From
now on I’m going to sit on the side
lines, cheer my friends and dig hell
out of my enemies.”
Funeral sendees will be held at 3:30
p.m. tomorrow at the ranch home
with burial in Coalgate Cemetery.
Honorary pallbearers will include Gen.
Baird Markham, New York City.
NEWS SADDENS CAPITOL HILL.
Congressional Friends of Gassaway
Numerous.
By the Associated Prese.
Capitol Hill heard with sadness yes
terday that the one-time cowboy
Representative, Percy L. Gassaway,
was dead.
Singularly, the congressional friends
of the picturesque Oklahoman—and
he had dozens of them—asked one
another the same question—a subject
that Gassaway often talked about;
"How did he die?”
With a touch of the poet about him
—old Gas, as he called himself—
would often tell his friends in Wash
ington that the way he wanted to go
in iHenuirtam.

was riding the range against a West
ern sunset.
Gassaway had his own ideas about
how to represent his constituents. He
maintained to his intimate friends
that his horseback riding and other
stunts about the Capital were the best
method of bringing to the public’s at
tention measures he advocated, or
measures he didn’t.
“There are 434 Representatives up
here besides me,” he’d say, “Why, if I
didn't shoot off a few fireworks I could
holler all year and nobody would
hear me.”
The next day he stopped on the
steps of the Capitol and went through
the motions of frying two eggs in
Washington’s Summer sun.
Asked what he was trying to prove,
he replied he sought to persuade Con
gress to adjourn early by graphically
illustrating how hot it could get in the
Capital.

RISE IS FORECAST
IN FARM INCOME
May and June Returns to Be
Greater Than in 1936, Econ
omists Predict.
Ey the Associated Press.
Government economists forecast
yesterday that cash income of farm
ers in May and June will be as large
or larger than the same months last
year.
They also said higher prices for
farm products and an increase in
Government payments to farmers
would push cash income for the
first half of this year above the
same period in 1936.
The Bureau of Agricultural Eco
nomics also predicted that.—
Any surplus wheat produced this
year in the United States "should be
readily absorbed in foreign markets”
because of low world supplies.
Corn prices will remain high in re
lation to prices of small grains dur
ing the Summer because of short
com supplies.
Prices of hogs and better grades
of cattle will advance because of re
duced marketings.

Hoosier Farmer
To Hold His Own
6Funeral9 Today
Self-Made Coffin and
Sermon Ready; Pall
Bearers Paid.
BT the Associated Press.
COATESVILLE, Ind., May 15.—The
cointryside buzzed tonight with spec
ulation on what eccentric Wade Mill
man, 88-year-old wealthy farmer,
would say at his own "funeral services”
tomorrow afternoon.
Millman, who invited all of his
friends and expected "thousands,” was
noncommittal.
As he put finishing touches to his
funeral oration he said, "I’ll have
something interesting to say.” He
would not comment further.
Everything was in order for the
service at the Canaan Rural Church,
northwest of here. His coffin, fash
ioned from an oak tree on his farm,
was ready. The tombatone, imported
from Switzerland, was set up. The
pallbearers had been paid $5 each
in advance.
Millman said he would countenance
no ministerial help at his last rites,
but pointed out preachers would be
welcome if they cared to come.
When he announced his funeral
plans a few months ago, few of his
friends believed he would actually hold
the service. But he has gone ahead
steadily with his preparations.
A few days ago his wife, who said
she married him to erase a $600 debt,
died after a short illness. Millman
was shocked so severely he could not
attend her services. He recovered in
a few days and plunged again into his
own funeral plans.
Millman will drive to the services in
his rubber-tired buggy, pulled by his
26-year-old faithful horse, John.
Asked why he had decided to hold
his own services, he said:
"I did not want any preacher, or
singing at my funeral, so I decided I
would take care of the thing myself
and get it over with. There won't be
any preacher or undertaker when my
time comes."

U. S. ROAD BUILDERS
WILL MEET HERE SOON
Leading Safety Experts to Join
in Discussion on Reducing
Accidents.
Fifty of the Nation's leading high
way engineers and safety experts will
gather here at the annual meeting of
the American Road Builders' Associa
tion May 27-28 to seek methods of
reducing the country's steadily rising
death toll. A session of the Commit
tee on Safe Highways on the 27th
will be one of the high lights of the
convention.
"Immediate steps must be taken,”
said Charles M. Upham. engineer di
rector of the association, “if we do
not want 1937 to reach an all-time
peak in highway deaths. Our Com
mittee on Safe Highways believes that
highway safety is largely a matter of
proper highway engineering. We, as
road builders, are going to concern
ourselves with the rehabilitation of
antiquated roads.”
Dr. H. E. Tabler, chairman of
Maryland’s State Road Commission,
is chairman of the Committee on
Safe Highways.
