WASHINGTON — Seven days
after the newest Jewish member
of Congress was sworn in as a
member of the House of Repre-
sentatives one if the oldest and
most beloved died.
Rep. Louis B. Heller, chosen in
a special election Feb. 15 to fill
the vacancy created by the death
of Rep. John J. Delaney of the
7th Congressional District in New
"York, was sworn in. by Speaker
of the House Rayburn Feb. 26":
Rep. Sol Bloom, Democratic
member of Congress for 26 years,
chairman of the House Foreign
Affairs ,Committee for a good
number of those, and a man who
ryas played a ;leading role in the
conduct of American foreign af-
fairs, died March 7 of a heart
attack.
The last public appearance that
Sol Bloom made was before • a
meeting of the Association of Eng-
lish-Jewish Newspapers here in
Washington Feb. 20. He spoke
with feeling of tne struggle that
had been • waged to make the
Jewish state possible and urged
American Jews to stand behind
Israel and continue to support
it-in its efforts to grow and pros-
per
Heller found he had a taste for

politics even before he graduated
from high school. The next year,
at 19, he was already learning the
"grass roots" touch in his local
Democratic club by "licking
stamps and handing out litera-
ture." In the next few years he
sandwiched in such political
chores as speaking from the back
of trucks and filling in for candi-
dates with selling Jewish news-
papers by Batterman's, working
in a law office, going to law
school, and holding down several
other jobs.
After studying law at Fordham
University Heller was admitted
to the New York Bar in 1927. The
next years found him engaged in
several stiff primary fights in his
Democratic district: In. 1942 the
District leader brought Heller
I in on his ticket in a very_ close
election. Heller was the only suc-
cessful candidate and won a seat
in the New York State Senate for
1943-44 term, a post he was to
fill only that one term because
of the reapportionment of his
district. It was the only place
in New York state where three
Senators; resided In one district.
In 1944 Heller became leader
of his assembly district, a post
he still holds.
