Constitution Urged
SALEM (UPlj—Former Gov
ernor Charles Sprague told the
joint Senate-Mouse Constitutional
Revision Committee in Salem
Tuesday the proposed new state
constitution provides a solid foun

while allowing the Legislature
wide latitude in its actions
Sprague spoke in support of the
new document at the organiza
tional meeting of the joint com
mittee. The former Governor was
a member of the commission
which drafted the document.
Sprague said Oregon's present
century-old constitution is like a
century-old house, it is better t)
build a new one than remodel a
room or construct an addition on
the old one.
Frost: His Tools Were Words
From AP and UP1 Reports
BOSTON—He was a Poet, an
architect of beautiful, enduring
things.
His tools were words, simple
words, a kind that men under
stand.
His name was Robert Frost. He
was 88 years old.
And he died Tuesday.
FROKT WAS pronounced dead
at Peter Bent Brigham Hospital
at 1:50 a.m. after two operations,
a heart attack and three separate
blood clots in his lungs since Dec.
3.
The four-time Pulitzer Prize
winner had been making what
doctors called a remarkable re
covery until his general condition
began deteriorating in the past 48
hours.
His attending physician, Dr
Roger B. Hickler, said Frost died
shortly after complaining of se
vere chest pains and a shortness
of breath.
Cause of death was listed as
"probably a pulmonary embo
lism”—a blood clot in the lungs.
DR. IIICKl.FR said that a few
hours before the fatal attack
Frost was “talkative and com
fortable.”
Fame came late to the one-time
mill worker, New Hampshire
farmer and teacher H*- lived in
comparative obscurity until he
was nearly 40
Two years ago—at thfc age of
86— he was invited by President
Kennedy to read a poem at his
inauguration.
With a January wind tousling
his thatch of white hair, and a
strong sun blinding him. Frost
discarded the script he could not
read and recited from memory a
poem he had written 20 years
earlier, “The Gift Outright.”
Earlier, President Dwight D.
Eisenhower had appointed Frost
consultant in poetry to the Libra
ry of Congress.
On his 88lh birthday last March
26 President Kennedy presented
Frost a medal voted by Congress.
FELLOW POET Carl Sandburg
praised Frost as “not merely a
great poet, but also a beloved per

son," and said his work will be
"around for a long time.”
Others had similar high praise
for Frost and his works.
Not since the era of Henry
Wadsworth Longfellow had an
American poet won such univer
sal acclaim.
The man who had been left
fatherless at 11. worked at odd
jobs, and studied a few months
at Dartmouth College, found him
self in later life an idol of literati,
a favorite on college campuses
across the nation. More than a
score of colleges and universities
gave him honorary degrees.
IF FROST conformed to any
thing, it was to the admonition of
a Hritish Poet. Rudyard Kipling:
to “. . talk with crowds and keep
your virtue, or walk with kings.
