PNEUMONIA D|MS
CERMAK'S CHANCES
Spread Feared as Mayors
Respiration Climbs;
Mrs. Gill Worse.
BY the Associated Press.

BY tHe hSSOCi2LeQ fIeSS.
MIAMI, Fla, February 27.-Physi-
clans became deeply concerned today
over tn condition of Mayor Anton Ger
max of Chicago, wounded by an
assassin's bullet, because of the pneu-
monic condition of his right lung.
Mayor Cermak was shot February
IS when Giuseppe Zangara fired wildly
into a Reception Committee for Presi-
dent t-elect Franklin D. Roosevelt at
Baytront Park here in an attempt on
Mr. Roosevelt's life.
DR.. Karl Meye-, Chicago heart spe-
cialist, and one of five doctors attend
ing the mayor, said the hope OF his
physicians for recovery had been les
sened by the appearance Of pneumonia.
Dr. Meyer added:
I'VE cannot say just now whether 1t
(pneumonia) has spread because full
examination has not been made.
The pneumonia crisis is six or seven
days. We see nothing in the imme-
date prospects that death is near"
Mrs. Gill Also Worse.
Pessimistic news also came from the
bedside of Mrs. Joe H. Gill of Miami,
also seriously shot during zangara'S
firing.
DR.. T. w. Hutson, attending her,
said Mrs. Gill's condition was not as
favorable today as it has been on pre-
vious days since the Bayfront Park
tragedy.
Her condition is by no means alarm
ing" he said, but she suffered slight
setback during the night"
DR.. Walter Hamburger Of Chicago,
a heart specialist, who joined in to-
days conference with the other five
doctors with Mayor Cermak, said:
"It seems to me the patient has been
slipping, slowly but progressively, since
Saturday" He described slipping" as
being in the mayors general condition.
DR.. Hamburger said his constantly
climbing respiratory rate is becoming
a source of alarm.
Respiration Climbs.
"The steady climb of the respiration
is dangerous" DR.. Hamburger said.
THE normal rate is 16 to 18 and the
present rate means that Mayor Cermak
is breathing in gasps.
"The oxygen tent is not accomplish
ing the purpose for which it was de-
cided upon. The patient is so Ill that
the oxygen does not work as well as we
hoped it would"
DR.. Meyer also said the mayors
respiration rate of 40 is causing some
worry among the doctors. Because, "
he said. "it places more work on the
lungs to compensate for the idleness
of the pneumonia area"
The physicians announced that a
second blood TRANSMISSION would not be
made today, the first was made Satur-
day. They gave him another intra-
venous injection during the morning to
supply nourishment.
Members of the mayors immediate
family. who rushed to his bedside on
receiving news of his being wounded,
arrived at the hospital today shortly
before II am. DR.. Frank Jirka, an at
tending physician and son-in-law of
the mayor, had kept them informed
earlier by telephone.

An operation to save the life OF
Mrs. Gladys Meek, Of the 32OO

been hiccoughing in Providence
Hospital since early June, is be-

learned today.
The operation, a delicate one
involves the phrenic nerve in her
stomach. Meanwhile the woman
is being relieved with hypoder-
mics. Throughout the malady, II
was said, Mrs. Meek's temperature
has been normal. She has, how
ever, developed anemia and lacks
appetite, it was said.

Mr.. Winton telephoned a vice
president of the Philadelphia Ma
tional and said he, as assistant
cashier Of the Lafayette Trust,
needed $4,000 in cash immedi-
ately to complete a pay roll. He
asked that the money be shipped
by express in the usual way.
Official Suspicious
The Philadelphia bank official
became suspicious, however, and
a check-up disclosed the alleged
plot. The fact of Mr.. Winton's
presence in the Pomfret Club was
learned from a telephone operator,
whom he had instructed to trans
fer all calls from the Philadel-
phia bank to the club.

Night Clubs Open Campaign
For Right to Sell Liquor

NEW YORK, Oct. 20.-Plans
for selling liquor at night clubs
after repeal will be discussed at a
meeting Of the night club owners
of the city next Monday after
noon.
Organization of night club and
hotel grill proprietors into one
body to influence the Government
to permit them to sell liquor after
repeal will be proposed at the
meeting.
"There'S plenty of talk now
that it will be prohibited to sell
liquor over the bar Of a club"
So said Murray Kissen, pr0prie-
tor Of the Show Place and the
man who called the meeting.
There's no reason why liquor
can't be sold in reputable caba-

Californian who described himself

attempting to obtain $4,000 from

by posing as an official of the

The man said he is Arthur s.
Winton, 81, of Los Angeles, and
told Easton police he made the
attempt for the dual purpose of
establishing the laXity of the

that the plot of story he wrote

NAVY LEAGUE
RAPS BRITISH
MEDDL|NG
BY international News Service

By International News Service
Warning to Great Britain that
any further attempts to interfere
with the American naval building
program will endanger Anglo
American relations was issued TO-
day by the Navy League of the
United States.
Britain'S recent unsuccessful CT
fort to induce this Government to
postpone construction of the four
10.000-ton, 6-inch-gun cruisers in
cluded in the present Navy build
ing program was attacked by the
Navy League.
Writes British League
In an open letter to the British
Navy League, it declared the
British plan would make the
American Navy dependent upon
British naval bases in the event
of another big war. The letter
said:
"Such a reduction would rem
der us negligible enemy, but,
with access to British naval
bases, an efficient ally; an in
ducement to conditional vas
salage that is far from palat-
able"
The Navy League added that
Britain's action leads to the con-
clusion British statesmen, while
declaring war between the two
countries is unthinkable, con-
tinue to keep in mind such a
contingency. 1t also said the
move led to the belief that
Britain apparently would not
mind if the United States we're
defeated in war in which
Britain remained neutral.
Effort To Fail
Declaring the British attempt
to keep the American Navy in
an inferior position is doomed,
the letter added:
''If persisted in, it will not
only fail of it's objective but
1t will create a public senti-
ment in the United States
which will oppose and pre-
vent that cooperation in the
sterilization of world affairs
which we believe both of our
organizations think to be not
merely desirable but absolutely
essential to the future pros
perity of both nations and to
their prestige and world in
fIuence."

THE night was warm and starry
land I still had 20 cents and I
spread my canvas under the only
inaccessible clunp of bushes in
Central Park and settled down to
watching the man who looked like
Mr.. Lang. He lay down on the
bench at the foot of the hill and
gazed at the sky. He couldn't get
his head set. He took off his coat
and folded it and placed it under
his head, but that wasn't high
enough and he turned on his belly
and put his arms on the coat so his
head was comfortable but his body
wasn't
He got up and walked to
the garbage can and took out some
papers and tucked them in under
