Inquiries at city hospitals and

Leginska was not likely victim

ator protested publication Of pro-
ceedings of Saturdays executive ses-

sessions.
In debate which followed, 1t was
suggested the rules committee make
a new rule expelling from the press
gallery any newspapsrman who
dares write what transpires in
