As the poet Shelley wrote in Adonais:

Peace, peace! he is not dead, he doth not sleep-
He hath awakened from the dream of life-

He has outsoared the shadow of our night;
Envy and calumny and hate and pain,
And that unrest which men miscall delight,
Can touch him not and torture not again;
From the contagion of the world's slow stain
He is secure, and now can never mourn

A heart grown cold, a head grown gray in vain;

He lives, he wakes-'tis Death is dead, not he.

FREDERICK VAN NUYS was buried in the city of Anderson, Ind., in the late, deep twilight of a winter's day amid the tears of thousands of his friends who went to pay him last tribute. There too, were his widow, the former Marie Krug, and their son William of the United States Navy. They are his worthy survivors. In their hearts, as in ours, is enshrined the image of this good husband and father, this splendid Senator of honored memory.

Mr. PRESIDENT: Shortly after I became a member of this body in the fall of 1933, I made the acquaintance of the late Senator from Indiana, Mr. VAN NUYS. Soon thereafter I was assigned membership on the Senate Committee on the Judiciary, of which committee Senator VAN NUYS was already a member, and later became its chairman.

During the years of our service together on the Judiciary Committee many interesting problems involving legislation of great importance were considered by the committee. I can truthfully say that during all that period of timeand more than once they were troublesome times-I have never known one who was more considerate, kind, and fair in all of his dealings with his fellow Senators, and with his associates on the committee, than was Senator Van Nuys. If he possessed a temper, he restrained it well. In fact, he kept it to himself. If he disagreed as to either men or measures, he did so with strength, firmness, and conviction in his own views, but always he was fair, and recognized the right of others to opinions which might differ from his own. He was strong and firm in his views on all important problems. Senator "Van" was a man of deep and sincere convictions, yet he did not form opinions hastily, nor did he assume a position lightly. Once, however, after due and careful deliberation his position was taken, he followed the course in which he believed, regardless of opposition, and without regard to what consequence, personal or political, might follow. Indeed, he was an able man-a good man to have in the Senate of the United States. Possessed of real judicial temperament, of calm repose and sound judgment, his labors in this body were of genuine effect, and they car

ried weight. The Senate lost an able Member when he was taken from our midst.

Mr. President, these are not mere idle words said at a time when he is gone and no longer with us; they are simple descriptive words, born of impressions made and opinions formed from years of close, if not intimate, contact and association. They are intended to describe a man of character, of courage, and one with a deep sense of fair play, for such a man was Senator VAN NUYS.

Mr. President, today I gladly join in the expression of every kind sentiment which has been or which will be said of him. I also join in expressing to the members of his family and to his vast number of friends my own personal sense of loss at his passing, and I also express, Mr. President, my gratitude that I was permitted to serve in this great body with a man of the character, the ability and integrity, of our late friend and colleague, the departed Senator from Indiana, Mr. VAN NUYS.

Address by Senator Chavez
Of New Mexico

Mr. PRESIDENT: The junior Senator from Indiana [Mr. Capehart] is absent from the Chamber. He has prepared a statement paying tribute to the late Senator FREDERICK VAN NUYS. He asked me to read the statement to the Senate, and on his behalf, I now do so. The statement is as follows: It is my most honored privilege to say a few words of tribute to the memory of Hon. FREDERICK VAN NUYS who was elected to the Senate of the United States on November 8, 1932, and in which body he so ably and soundly served his country until the date of his untimely death, which occurred on January 15, 1944.

Senator VAN NUYS, like Abraham Lincoln, Andrew Jackson, Thomas Jefferson, and scores of others of the stalwart characters of American history, was born of humble but worthy parentage, starting life in total obscurity, and rising to the high pinnacle of honor and fame to which he attained by the sheer force of character, energy, and perserverance.

Beginning on the bottom round, he climbed the ladder of attainment through the positions of prosecuting attorney for Madison County, member of the Indiana Senate, and United States District Attorney, each of which positions he filled with such efficiency as to lead him to the climax of his useful and eventful career in the Senate of the United States. It is not unfitting to say that his high ideals of government for the good of all the people were still further strengthened by his long and intimate association with Hon. Samuel Ralston-former Governor of Indiana and for a brief period of time a member of this august body-with whom he was associated while in the private practice of law in Indianapolis.

Senator VAN NUYS was always a strong party man, believing firmly in the two-party system of government; but like the vast majority of his colleagues and the leaders of this assemblage of all times, party allegiance was always subordinate to his country's welfare when in his judgment there was conflict between the best interests of his country and the policies advanced by the leaders of his party, he did not falter or hesitate to cast his influence and might in support of those principles which he believed most likely to best promote the common weal.

When our country became embroiled in foreign war he took his stand under the slogan "The United States and the United Nations must win," and, looking to this end and the attainment of this result, he forcefully supported every measure and cause which had for its purpose the building up on the land, on the sea, and particularly in the air of the most powerful war machine the world has ever known. He believed that this course was necessary in order that our sons and daughters might have all the assurance that was possible under war conditions, and might enjoy the security of peace, prosperity, and freedom from the insidious philosophy and doctrines of our adversaries of the Old World.

His sound judgment and fearless adherence to his high ideals at an early stage of his senatorial career promoted him to a position among the leaders of this, the highest lawmaking assemblage in the world, and this position of leadership he continued to maintain and enjoy to the end of his able and useful career.

Looking at the more personal side of his life, he was friend to every man who merited his friendship. In the way of serving his constituency in their personal matters, no constituent who had a worthy cause was ever too humble or obscure to receive his helping hand, and often at the sacrifice and expense of his own physical endurance.
