BYRNE AIDE SHOT, POLICE THINK BY SELF
WASHINGTON, May 22 (AP)
Alan Styne, aged 47, and official of the State Department, was found critically wounded today from a pistol bullet in the chest in the basement of the Metropolitan Club.
Ten notes were found near him and Police Lieut. Anthony Richitt said there was every indication that the wound was self-inflicted. The police also said they were told Steyne had been under a doctor's care for nervousness.
The notes were not immediately made public. Police said that one of them was addressed to Steyne's fiancée, a British girl, one to the police and the others to State Department officials and friends. Steyne was unconscious in the hospital tonight.
Born in New York, he was educated at Phillips Andover Academy, Yale, and the University of Grenoble. After serving in various diplomatic posts in Canada, Germany, Brazil and England, he was made Assistant Chief of Planning Staff of the Office of Foreign Service. He was transferred several weeks ago to the Office of International Trade Policy. He acted as United States observer on the Inter-Allied Commission on Post-War Requirements in 1941 and was a delegate to the International Sugar Council the same year.
