Labourer —Baron Dies
A baron who inherited a fortune with his title in 1946 died in Sydney where he worked as a labourer. He was Lord John Lawrence May, aged 45, who came to Australia in 1935 shortly after his father was made a Baron for work as chairman of the British Import Duties Advisory Committee. Lord May lived quietly in a small suburban hotel and worked double shifts at the Australian Glass Works. Born in London, he married in 1929 and a son was born in 1931.— Sydney, March 10.
