SUDDEN DEATH
AUSTRALIAN MINISTER MR JAMEB M. DUNNINGHAM DISTINGUISHED CAREER United Press Assn. —Elec. Tel. Copyright SYDNEY, May 26 Mr James Montgomery Dunningham, Minister of Labour and Industry in the New South Wales Government, collapsed in his office to-day and died within an hour from a heart attack. He was aged 54. The Premier, Mr B. S. Stevens, and his Ministerial colleagues, received a great shock, as Mr Dunningham was a most popular member of the Cabinet. He had Ministerial charge of the recent anniversary celebrations, which resulted in overwork, and he suffered minor heart seizures. He was warned by his doctor to take a rest, but he always replied: “I must see it through.” Government offices were closed this afternoon. A State funeral has been ordered. Mr Dunningham was first elected to Parliament in 1928 as member for Coogee. In 1930 he was Opposition Whip when the Lang Government took office. He was formerly Mayor of Randwick, and for many years was an alderman of Randwick Council. He was one of the most popular members of the Legislative Assembly.
