Aldous Huxley,
Famed Novelist,
Dies of Cancer
HOLLYWOOD (UPI)-Aldous
Huxley, whose satirical novel
Brave New World assured
him literary immortality, died
Friday of cancer. He was 69.
Private funeral services were
held this morning in Los An
geles. Death came to the novel
ist at his home in the Holly
wood hills.
Huxley was noted primarily
as a philosophical novelist. In
his more than 20 books, he
used characters largely to rep
resent far-ranging ideas in his
fiction works.
The satirical classic, "Brave
New World," published in 1932,
envisioned a world of babies
mass produced in laboratories,
brain-washed slave workers and
vision-inducing drugs.
Huxley predicted later that
his imaginary world would be
come a frightening reality in
less than 200 years.
I envisaged industrial regi
mentation occurring much far
ther in the future," he said ear
lier in predicting a mechanized
society within 600 years. "But
now, with sleep teaching, brain
washing, hypnosis and condi
tioned reflex experiments, we
are close to a rigid caste sys
tem where people are trained
for only one function.
me next great revolution,
Huxley predicted, would be led
by scientists and medical men.
He said future society would
exist without poverty but also
without love, freedom and
thought.
He was the son of Leonard
Huxley and grandson of biolo
gist Thomas Huxley, credited
with popularizing t h e evolu
tionary theories of Charles Dar
win. He was the brother of biologist-writer
Julian Huxley and
grandnephew of poet-essayist
Matthew Arnold.
Huxley was born In .Goldalm-
Ing, Surrey, England, on July
1894. A serious eve disease
that nearly blinded him at the
age of 17 shattered his olans to
become a physician.
In 1937, Huxley's eyesight be
gan failing rapidly again and
he moved to California near a
specialist who practiced a
unique method of visual re-education.
The physician halted
further loss of Huxlev's eye
sight.
In the past few vcars hefnre
his death, Huxley had to resort
to using a masnifyine l ass
when he worked on his 40-year-old
typewriter.
A friend of the author said
Huxley was saddened by the
loss of papers and manuscripts
in a brush fire that sweot his
hillside home several years ago.
me incna quoted Hux cv as
saying, "I can understand full
well what scholars felt like
when the library at Alexandria
was destroyed."

when the call came over the
loudspeaker for us to report Im
mediately to our ambulance.
We rushed back to the ambu
lance and there was a man in a
suit and carrying a gun there
with a Dallas policeman. They
told us to stay with the ambu
lance,, not to leave and not to
talk to anyone.
' They said we might be need
ed to rush a patient to another
hospital.
After a while Mr. (Vernon)
ONeal funeral home owner)
drove up in a hearse with a
casket. We took the casket into
the room where the President's
body was. He was covered with
a sheet.
We waited while priests
prayed and gave the last rites
or something. Then Mrs. Ken
nedy came in.
She looked at us and smiled.
and started pulling on her ring
finger. After a minute, she
went across, lifted the sheet
and put the ring on his fineer.
She was crying.
when she left, we picked up
the President's body, put it in
the casket and closed the lid.
Then we started out. Someone
stopped us and told us not to
leave yet. We went back to the
room. '
Then they came and told us
to go. When we got about half
way across the emergency
room, a priest stopped us, put
a cross on the casket and
prayed.
We took the casket to the
hearse and loaded it in on one
side. We let down the seat on
the other side so Mrs. Kennedy
could ride with the body. She
smnea again and thanked us.
She never did break down then.
When we closed the hearse.
the Secret Servicemen took
over. They drove it to the air
port. We got it back there after
the airplane left.
it was hard. We nicked ud
the body and I kept thinking
'this is the President.' The feel
ing was the same one I get when
we have to pick up some little
child that has been hurt or
killed, or maybe a relative.
I never cried, but I had to
choke back the tears. Dennis
was about the same way. He's
quiet anyway, but this time he
didn t nave anything to say.
Now I'm sorry I live in Dallas.
I was born and raised here, but
now I'm ashamed.

Lincoln Proclaimed
Thanksgiving Day
A Century
By PETER J. CRONIN
United Press International
PLYMOUTH, Mass, (UPI) -Disease
and famine plagued the
Plymouth colony that chill au
tumn nearly three and a half
centuries ago, but a new and
better day appeared to be dawn
ing and it seemed appropriate
to pause and say thanks to God.
At that first thanksgiving, a
three-day Dutch treat cookout,
the 48 surviving pilgrims said
thanks for the meagerest of
blessings the means to sus
tain life. Their example of faith
and thankfulness may seem al
most incredible to Christians of
the present day, 342 years later.
For the most part Americans
will sit down next Thursday be
fore generous platters of turkey
to reflect on their general abun
dance. ' ,
It was exactly 100 years ago,
in 1863, that President Abraham
Lincoln proclaimed a national
Thanksgiving holiday and es
tablished the last Thursday of
November as the time of the
observance. Before 1863, Thanks
giving was celebrated on dif
ferent dates in tne various
states, spread across eight
months.
Cries Of Outrage
' In 1939. President Franklin D.
Roosevelt moved up Thanksgiv
