MR. PRESIDENT: Your committee, appointed to prepare a suitable resolution commemorating the life, character and public service of the late Howard C. Baldwin, begs leave to submit the following:

Howard C. Baldwin was born in Cascade, Iowa, on August 1, 1904, and died November 18, 1964, at his home in Elmhurst, Illinois. He was a graduate of Cascade High School and the University of Iowa.

A former Cascade newspaper publisher, he was first elected to the Senate in 1933 to fill a vacancy. He was elected to regular terms in 1934 and 1938. He was an unsuccessful candidate for the Democratic nomination for lieutenant governor in 1942.

At the time of his death, Mr. Baldwin was assistant to the manager for public information of the Atomic Energy Commission (AEC) office at Argonne, Illinois. He joined the AEC in 1947 following World War II, in which he served as a lieutenant commander in the Navy.

Mr. Baldwin is survived by his widow, Alice.

Therefore, Be It Resolved by the Senate of the Sixty-first General Assembly of Iowa: That in the passing of Harold C. Baldwin, the state has lost a valuable, loyal and honored former citizen, and by this resolution tenders its sincere sympathy to his family.

Be It Further Resolved: That a copy of this resolution be spread on the Journal of the Senate and that the Secretary of the Senate be instructed to forward an enrolled copy to his family.
