operation late Thursday. The 64-
year-old independent Republican,
whose senate career started in 1922,
entered Harper Hospital Oct. 14 suf
fering from uremic poisoning. Mem
bers of his immediate family, includ
ing his son, Mayor Frank Couzens,
of Detroit, were at his bedside when
death came. A week ago the Canad

zens was defeated for re-nomination.

Hon. Ian Mackenzie, Minister of Na

London—Oppostion to the sugges

gestion of this sort was made recent
ly by Bishop Ernest Barnes of Bir
