death was one of the things po-
lice sought to uncover in their in.
veStigation. Friends, however,
limited domestic difficulties.
Little hope was held for CritZ'
recovery by physicians, though he
is waging game fight for life. "A

An ancient pistol, over so years

ther, was found on the bathroom
floor. One bullet had been dis
charged. =

the city so no investigation was
being made by Winstoh-Salem po-
lice. Sheriff Transou Scott, whose
probe of the fatal shooting Of
Smith Reynolds brought murder
indictments against Libby Holman
and Reynolds secretary and
chum, Albert walker, said no in
vestigation would be necessary un-
less Critz died. The shooting was
not reported to him, Scott said,
but when he learned of 1t he
telephoned the residence and
asked if he could be of help"
Scott said he was told there
was nothing at all that could
be DONE"
DR.. A. De Talmadge, attending
Critz, said he was conscious this
morning, but in no condition to
talk. The bullet entered his right
temple and was still lodged in
the head. An X-ray examination
would be made later today.
According to information avail
able to police, Critz was in the
bathroom of his suburban home,
apparently alone, when his wife
and servants heard shot. He
! came staggering through the
bathroom door, blood trickling
from his forehead; and fell to the
floor.

WEEK
URGED BY DOAK

Spreading of employment and
reducing the number of idle

from general adoption of the
five-day week according to Secre-
tary of Labor William N. Doak,
in a statement made public to-
day. IndustrialistS have saved
much money through labor-saving
machinery in recent years. and
labor which was so greatly, dis
