78 year old chemist, who never accepted a penny ft fcitireme Court, xne wraer v. o. oenaiur zrom Aiaoama, saia: Dr. Carver's unselfish service and his extraordinary achievements de him a great American." Lived Usefully S. Senator John H.

Bankhead, another outstanding Alabama Democrat, commented: jj)r. Carver was a very remarkable man and had a highly deeped intellect. He was a man of 'good judgment and Jived most ful life. He will be missed greatly. It was great pity that he gould not be spared to continue his research." Loss Is Irreparable Claode R.

Wlckard, Secretary of Agriculture, in a 'farewell' tribute tha noted scientist, said: "Tuskegee and the nation suffer an irreparable loss in the passing ef Dr. George W. Carver. However, we may take comfort in the fact tfcttbi great contribution to the science of agriculture and to scientific research will continue to serve mankind." In telegram to Dr. Frederick' T.

Patterson, president of Tuskegee Institute, Mr. Wlckard made the following lament: Th entire Agricultural Department staff joins me in extending tor deepest sympathy to you, the institution, and to the ever widening elrcl of friends that the distinguished scientist developed throughout At the time of his death. Dr. Carver was a collaborator in the Agricultural Research Administration under Dr. E.

C. Auchter. He vtM appointed to this position August 1, 1935, by Henry Wallace, thai Secretary of Agriculture. (He worked in the field of micology and disease research). Henry B.

Steagall, Democratic U. S. Representative from Alabama, laid of Dr. Carver: "He considered money as trivial and had declined all kinds of lalary offers. He believed that his talents came from God and that hii first obligation was to his own people and the people of His section.

was deeply religious and believed that what he had done was through God. He was modest and did not claim any credit for him elf. "I think he was a prodigy. He a sample of the mys tery of creation. He could not have come from the depths, racial and other handicaps, unless there is a guiding power back of this human race.

He lends assurance that there is a divinity who watches over and that there will spring up men in different fields who are benefactors to the human race. "Dr. Carver was greatly admired and appreciated in Alabama by all." Congressman SteagaU's district, about one half of which is devoted to peanut products, revealed a remarkable intimacy with the details of Dr. Carver's life and progress. It was he who introduced the scientist to President Roosevelt at Tuskegee Institute in 1939.

He related that the President was well informed on his achievements and was particularly interested in regarded as a cure for infantile paralysis. Suffering with a heavy cold and hardly able to talk, the Congressman stated regrets that he could not have eulogized Dr. Carver on the floor of the Example Of Race's Nobility Judge William H. Hastie, civilian aide to the Secretary of War, laid: "Dr. Carver has been more than a great American scientist and a benefactor of American agriculture.

He is an example of what the Negro can contribute to the nation when he is given an opportunity." Worthy Of Recognition Received U. S. Senator Arthur Capper, Kansas Republican, observed: "I have known Dr. Carver well for a long time. His death is a peat loss to his race and to the country.

His great services had long eo been recoenized and he was worthy of the recognition. Anything aid commending him and his work as a scientist may be attributed to me." Never Grew Old Roy F. Hendrickson, food distribution administrator for the Agriculture Department, who reputedly spends daily in the Lend lease program, recalled his visit to Tuskegee Institute in December to ddress the Farmers' Conference, saying: "One of the vvid memories I hold is the time I spent at Tuskegee on my visit (December 16) with Dr. Carver. He gave me a strong impression of fine scholarship and scientific integrity.

He struck me as remarkable man, who, despite his great had never grown old." The Farmer," a magazine published in Birmingham, Alabama, last year gave Dr. Carver the award, "The Man of the Year in Sen ice to Southern Agriculture." It was presented to him in June, rather than in Damhr hArniisn of the scientist's declining health Rd the desire not. to present it posthumously. Only five other persons, all wi ite have received the award. Spiritually Strong Are An, lier tra usua Mary McLeod Bethune, national director of the National Youth administration for Negroes, remarked: eoree Washington Carver was first and foremost spiritually He believed that all science pointed toward God.

George Washington Carver (left), eminent scientist to whom death came last week, is pictured in one of his typical poses with Francis J. Garvan, presi dent of the Chemical Foundation of America. 4 "All patriotic Americans will join in paying tribute to Dr. George Washington Carver. He has won an honored place among the great national figures of our history.

His achievements in science and edu cation and promoting interracial co operation and good will have advanced the progress of all American people and strengthened our unity for the trials that now beset us." One Of Greatest Americans In acknowledgment of the death of Dr. Carver, Walter White, executive secretary of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, wired Dr. F. D. Patterson from his New Xoric headquarters the following sentiments: "May I on behalf of the NAACP join in paying tribute to Dr.

Carver who was one of the greatest Americans, irrespective of race, of our time? Words are feeble instruments to express adequately our admiration for him as a scientist and our respect for him as a human being." atAm v.A Hmifiaaa inHiiHdnal tributes raid the departed scien tist, leading American newspapers had singular editorial comments to make concerning his great contributions to agricultural science and concerning his passing. Among these glowing observations were the following: TW.W YORK TIMES "So self effacing was this worker in agri cultural chemistry that he regarded himself as an instrument in the hands of Providence, much like Morse and a few others of a sternly fni uHniatir. mind. Thi accounts for his boundless faith in the po tentialities of chemistry and Southern agriculture a faith that im achievement of his as a divine revela tion. The simple laboratory in which he carried out his experiments i vsiiv nia tta mlp ht havs died rich.

Instead, he OS 11. CI IS. uv. gave his discoveries freely to the world. His notable achievements, therefore, become the setting for an idealism that is rare in any race.

Not only Negroes but all Americans nave reason xo oe ul dauntless spirit that triumphed over every handicap." NEW YORK HERALD TRIBUNE "But it was one of the traits of this practical man that he wanted nothing for himself. And this puzzled some persons, just as some of his fellow scientists were puz zled and often a bit 'exasperated by his insistence that the hand of God was in much that he did. This genUe, frail old Negro seemed to have an affinity with growing things and with the chemical creative that defied all explanation unless one wanted to call It genius and let it go at that. He was one of our great men, not just a great Negro." PITTSBURGH PRESS "A war gave him freedom of body, but he 1 A freed his own intellect, overcoming almost lnsuperaDie oosicie i poverty and prejudice to gain learning and understanding. He de voted his life to the education and advancement of his race and to creative science.

His discoveries of new uses for familiar substances, especially for the products of Southern agriculture, are a rich legacy to his country and the world. PITTSBURGH POST GAZETTE "In the death of Dr. George Washington Carver, the great Negro scientist, the nation has lost one of its finest minds. Dr. Carver's agricultural pioneering made himself and his region famous.

He not only brought millions of dollars in yearly income to subsistence farming areas, but by the example of his unselfish life and his practical credo opened the door to richer and warmer living for millions of Southern farmers, white and Negro alike." NEW ORLEANS ITEM: "He studied, taught and worked for the love of all three, (study, teaching, work) and the progress of his race and nation; he hewed closely to his own line, for no reward beyond trt livi hi simple and useful life: and he boasted not of it but gave God the glory "Even so, the highest departments of farming science in his own country and Great Britain were proud to associate him in their work; and some of the highest distinctions of science were bestowed upon him.
