POOR AID POOR,
POPE ASSERTS
Rich Blind to Distress, Plus
Hints in Talk.
By Times Special

By United Press
VATICAN CITY, Nov. 30.-The
recent appeal for aid for the un-
employed of the world made by
Pope Plus XII was directed to the
poor rather than to the rich, "be-
cause the poor respond to such ap-
pealS more literally" the pope told
cardinals, prelates and officials Of
the congregation of Sacred Rights.
The pope said he based his OBJ
Servation on personal experience.
His remarks were made during the
reading of a decree of the heroic
virtues of the Italian maiden, Gem
una Galgini.
Referring to the readiness of the
maiden to suffer for the sake of
Christ, the pope said:
There are plenty of noble souls
nowadays who are the target of
prosecutions, as is happening in
Russia, Mexico and Spain, because
of their attachment to Christ"
He urged that present world
wide hardGhips" be met with faith
and penance. 1.-THE hardships are
certainly serious and real, as we
are personally able to see because
we are in the center of a universal
paternity in which all seek refuge
and from which all are expecting
aid" the pope said.
Sufferers must recognize the
hardShips as a manifestation of
Gods will and must accept every
thing from the hand which is to
be blessed even when it takes away
what it gave"

Walker Ready With Plea to
Be Made Tuesday
for Mooney.
BY GEORGE H. BEALE
United Press Staff Correspondent

SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 3d.
Mayor James j. Walker of New York
made his final preparations today
for the plea he will make Tues
day to the state of California to
free Thomas Mooney, serving a life
prison term on conviction of the
1916 Preparedness day bombings.
The mayor ignored growing crit
iciSm of his action in interceding
for the labor agitator, kept to his
hotel room, and reported he con-
sidered the case progressing salts
factorily.''
He was in conference frequently
with Frank P. Walsh, veteran la
Dor attorney, and Aaron Sapiro,
MONEYS counsel. They visited his
suite because the mayor was suffer-
ing from a fairly severe cold"
Northern California papers for
the most part have held that the
mayor is 'meddling" and that he
better would have remained IN New
York, answering embarrassing ques-
tons about his own administration.
Mayor Walkers preparations for
the hearing Tuesday have included
a visit to Mrs. Mary Mooney, mother
of the convict, and a visit to
Mooney himself.
At the latter conference in San
Quentin, Mayor Walker said he ex-
pected Mooney would be free soon,
while the 49-year-old prisoner said
he seriously" doubted it.

Plans for improvement at the city

nounced today, subject to an ap-

penditure of money"
The board outlined the improve
mentS as an inducement to trade in
the eastern section of the market.
A checking room also may be
provided for customers, as well as a
loading zone on the Alabama street
side. The board hopes to get rent
erS for several vacant stands on the
markets east side, Charles R. Myers,

HOSPITAL HEAD
IS CALLED IN
YELLING QUIZ
City Institution Doctors and
InterneS to Tell of
AutopSieS.
BARE CURIOSITY CASE
Post Mortem Performed on
Natural Death Victim,
Record Shows.
BY DICK MILLER

DR.. Charles M. Myers, Superin-
tendent of city hospital, several
resident doctors and internes of the
institution, today we're called by
the county grand jury to testify in
the investigation of alleged activ-
tiles by Coroner Fred w. Vehling.
The superintendent. who recently
issued an order directing his aids
not to perform autopSies in natural
death cases, except with permission
of relatives, was expected to tell the
jurors what he has learned of Veh-
ling'S practices at the hospital.
Doctors and internes called by
the quiz group are those who have
handled cases in which Vehling per-
formed autopSieS and in many in
stances, demanded fees from the
county.
Charge Curiosity" AutOpsies
Internes are alleged to have
gained permission from Vehling
several times to characterize natural
death cases as "coronerS cases."
thereby performing purported "curi-
oSity" autopSies, over protests of
friends and relatives of deceased
persons.
An instance of an alleged "curios-
ity" post mortem was revealed today
in The Times investigation, as
members of the hospital staff pre-
pared to testify.
Ola Lola Beckner, 81, of 310la
West Washington street, died at the
institution recently from a brain
ailment. An autopsy was performed
under guise of a coroner'S case and
verdict after the post-mortem gave
cerebral hemorrhage as the cause
of death, a technical difference in
the disease for which the woman
was being treated.
In the pneumonia death of Viii
liam Ryan, SO, of 1892 Newton
street, an autopsy was performed,
but no evidence of violence or casu-
atty was found as result of the
post-mortem.
No Record of Inferno
In this case, no record can be
found of the inferno who performed
the autopsy, and Vehling did not
file a claim for the operation with
county officers.
Investigation has revealed many
poSt-mortems performed at night
by Vehling and often, when hos
pital attaches sought information
for institution records, Vehling is
said to have answered:
There are lots of autopsieS you
know nothing about"
The jury is Sitting charges of
curiosity" autopsies for which
Vehling, in many instances, filed
claims for services. It also is al
legged that the coroner overStepped
his authority in many cases, at
times threatening relatives of de-
ceased persons with arrest and Civ
ing spite" verdicts in cases when
he was opposed in autopsy or burial
demands.
