Bandleader's Death To Be Investigated PALM DESERT. Calif. (UPD-i An autopsy was scheduled today into the death of bandleader Eddy Howard, whose recording of "To Each His Own" captured the fan cy of a war-weary nation in 1946. Howard, 43, who chose a baton over a surgeon's scalpel and a businessman's adding machine, apparently died in his sleep of na- ural causes. His body was found Thursday by his widow, Jane, in their bungalow at the same El dorado resort where former Pres ident Dwight D. Eisenhower main tains a winter home. In addition to leading a roman tic, .band in the era of the big bands, Howard composed such tunes as "My Last Goodbye," "A Ask about doily "Business Card" SPOT ADS TU 4-6111 Million Dreams Ago." "So I-ong For Now," "Now I Lay Me Down To Dream, Lonesome Tonight, "Careless," and "If I knew Then. But he was best remembered for his band's rendition of ' Each His Own," which became! his theme song in addition to sell ing more than two million records. Altogether Howard had 11 gold records that sold over a million copies each. His hit recordings al so included Rickety Rickshaw. His early success enabled him to retire at a relatively young age, but his love of music ami people won out occasionally over leisurely delights and he returned to the bandstand from time to time for personal appearances and recording sessions. Howard, his widow, their son, Eddy Jr., 13, and a daughter. Lynn, 21, moved here three years ago. Howard appeared occasional ly at a local hotel, the El Mir-ador.
