KILLS
DEAD WIFE

MILWAUKEE,, Wis, Feb. 13
G.N.SO Exposure on an operat-
ing table in the city morgue
caused the death of Mrs. Esther
Falk, 80, seven hours after she had
been received as dead"
That the woman lived seven
hours after she was pronounced
dead was established by an autopsy
today as authorities sought to fix
responsibility.
Coroner Henry Grundman ad-
mitted that no physician had
made a preliminary examination
of the woman before she was re-
ceived at the morgue and allowed
to lie on the table as dead"
Mrs. Falk was found in a pool
in a vacant lot near her home, her
legs submerged through a thin
layer of ice. She was taken to
the morgue where, some time
later, DR.. e. l.. Miloslavich, county
pathologist, discovered "a spark
of life" He summoned the Falk
family physician, and a rescue
SQUAD. The firemen worked
frantically for two hours with a
mechanical inhalator, but failed
to revive the woman.
Suffering from a nervous all
ment, Mrs. Falk disappeared
Thursday night after weeping over
the vacant crib of her 4-year-old
son, a scarlet fever patient in a
hospital.

CLERGY STATES
REL|EFSTAND

In explanation Of a published
report that the Catholic bishops
recently advocated direct Federal
and State appropriations for relief
of the needy, it was declared to-
day that the bishops had neither
approved nor disapproved this
principle.
A letter from the National Cath
olice Welfare Conference said:
"At a hearing before the
House Committee on Labor on
February 3 a spokesman of the
National Catholic Welfare Con-
ference opposed certain pro-
visions of H. r. SO8S, a bill
which would provide for direct
relief of the unemployed, but
this spokesman clearly stated
that the Administrative Com
mittee of Bishops had neither
approved nor disapprOved in
principle the demand for a Fed
eraI appropriation for the relief
of unemployment distress at
this time"

 Bush's Plan

MINNEAPOLIS, Sept. 15.-Donie Bush, who managed three biz league teams before coming here to guide the Millers to an appar- ently certain American Associa- tion pennant, has got along with out a single pitcher who fills the usual baseball definition of reg ular."
 Not one of Dorie's slab staff has bsens in shape to take his turn regularly through the grind Some of them have been three inning whirlwinds but Bush, af- ter slow start, devised a method of getting around this deficiency
 "Piecemeal' Hurling
 He has converted about iralf his staff into relief workers and seldom permits any of his htrl- CTS to go the route. Rosy Ryan and Jess Petty, who still have plenty of stuff but lack the stam- mia of their earlier days, have fin isfled more games than they have started, and Ryan has compiled one of the best relief-chuckins records in the circuit.
 Rube Benton, Hi Vandenberg Carmen Hill and Pea Ridge Day before he went to the voluntary retired list with a sore arm-al veterans except young Vandenbers have started strongly in many games which would have been los if relief hadn't been quickly sup piled.
 Need Little Rest
 The policy of quick relief Ina! enabled the veterans to return tt the billock after two days of res for another part-game. Three ol four pitchers have been used fire cuently by Donie to have game which has agile shuffling and on fewer kurler would almost surel. have lost.
 The result is that, with one c the least conventional pitching out fits in Association history Busl is heading directly for the "Mttl worlds series" with the winner il the International League, wher Newark holds front rank.
