Funeral services will be held tomorrow at Gremerey Park Memorial Chapel here for Rep. M. Michael Edelstein, who died in the House lobby in Washington yesterday of a heart attack after an exchange with Rep. John A. Rankin over the latter’s anti-Jewish charges. Reps. Dickstein, Cullen, Kennedy and Pfeiffer were appointed by Speaker Rayburn as an official House committee to attend the funeral.

It was revealed today that Edelstein was planning to write an article on anti-Semitism for Atlantic Monthly.
