E. McDougal memorial set
Deceased Name: EDWARD D. McDougal Jr.
EDWARD D. McDougal Jr., civic leader, law partner of the late Adlai Stevenson and president during the 1960s of the Chicago Council on Foreign Relations, was proud of the literature the council promoted.
"We believe the private citizen is charged with the responsibility of being well informed and making his voice heard," he said. "Exposure to authoritative information enables him to do so intelligently."
A memorial service for Mr. McDougal, 86, formerly of Libertyville, will be at 2 p.m. Nov. 27 in Riverside Presbyterian Church in west Suburban Riverside. He died Oct. 30 in a Santa Barbara, Calif., nursing home.
THE FOREIGN relations council, whose membership grew to 2,900 under Mr. McDougal's leadership, offered more than a thousand pamphlets on international issues at prices of 5, 10 and 25 cents. The bulk of the members, he said, were "average Chicagoans."
Mr. McDougal was a partner with Stevenson in Sidney, Austin, Burgess & Smith, a Chicago law firm founded in 1866 that is now known as Sidley & Austin. He later was vice president and general counsel of International Minerals and Chemical Corp., Skokie.
He was vice chairman of the Illinois Public Aid Commission, but resigned in 1955 to become national treasurer of Stevenson's presidential campaign. He quit the commission because he had been appointed as a Republican member and his job for Stevenson involved campaigning for a Democrat. In 1965 he named president of the Adlai Stevenson Memorial Fund, organized to continue the former United Nations ambassador's work "for world peace and international cooperation."
During the 1930s, Mr. McDougal was on the executive committee of United Charities, later becoming its president. He also was president of the Chicago Law Institute, one of the oldest law libraries in the country. He was vice president until 1966 of the Chicago Symphony Association.
Survivors include his wife, Katherine; a son, Edward III; and two daughters, Mary and Ann.
