AUSTRALIAN UNESCO DELEGATE COMMITS SUICIDE
Rec. 10 p.m. MEXICO CITY, Nov. 17.
Mr Frank Charles Medworth, a member of the Australian delegation to the UNESCO Assembly, cut his wrist’s and died this afternoon in an hotel room. Doctors gave Mr Medworth blood transfusions, but he had already lost too much blood. He left letters for his wife, the chairman of the Australian delegation, Mr E. R. Walker, and the management of the Hotel Reforma, where he was staying. The hotel manager said the letter to him was somewhat incoherent, but Mr Medworth mentioned that he had been considered “crazy” by the other delegates because of a head wound he received during the war.
