Following the operation, so patches
of skin were grated to the shoulder.
At the New York Academy of Medi-

"BuBs' ouINLAN KILLED
Chicago Public Enemy Shot in Back
In Cafe.

~ the Associated Press.
CHICAGO. July 90 - Michael
"Bubs" Quinlan, racketeer and public
enemy, has met his measure in gang
dom.
A single bullet, fred into his back
by a deliberate gunman. took his life
last night as he sat in Cottage
Grove avenue cafe with Thomas Nc
laughlin, his reputed confederate in
the pre-repeal beer business.
The slayer, youthful and well
dressed, walked to Quinlan's table and
leaned In front of Mclaughlin. As
guests and employees looked on aghast,
he said, This is for a double crosser, "
and fred once.
In the confusion that followed, he
slipped the gun into his pocket and
disappeared. leaving puzzle for po-
lice-who did the shooting and why?
Authorities said the Staying might
have dated back to a probationary
feud. At that time, Quinlan was as
ISOLATED with the Salts McErlane
combination, which ruled the South
Side beer business, muscling aside all
competitors.
Quinlan was IS years old and
known In gangland as a hard guy,
He was acquitted last December of
charges of nanslaughter, arising from
the automobile killing of an elderly
man.

REVISED THINKING
SEEN IN NEW DEAL
Or. CIaudius T. Murchison
Forecasts Another Defini-
ton OF IndividuaIism.
BY the Associated Press.

BLUE RIDGE, N. c., July 20
Presenting some social implications Of
the new deal to the Southern Con-
ference on Human Relations in In
dustry, Dr.. Claudius T. Murchison,
director of the Bureau Of Foreign and
Domestic Commerce. said today that
there would be revisionS of our think
ing and our institutions.
MY own feeling" he said, ''is that
we shall have to set up new defini-
ton of individualiSm. In the past
that term has been associated with
unbridled freedom in economic activ-
ity. The right to work as long as
one wished, the right to conduct ones
make whatever contracts seemed de-
sirable. the right to promote new
enterprise in unrestricted fashion
were the main elements in our con-
cepts OF individualiSm.
Range Declared Narrowed.
"As we have seen, economic neces-
sity is narrowing the range OF all these
rights. I do not consider that this
tendency is submerging individualism.
Quite the contrary, 1t Is merely Fore
ing individualism to assume higher
plane.
In the future 1t will express itself
in freedom of thought relative to ma
tionsl affairs. social relationships, per-
sonal behavior, in our ideas Of educa-
ton, art, music, philosophy and
religion"
DR.. Murchison said q revision Of
opinion as to the place of work in
social life should also be expected.
1T is desirable that portion OF the
labor of mankind which is devoted to
the primary activities of providing
bread and butter be reduced to
minimum. For the great mass of
humankind, progress in reducing this
type of work will continue. and 1t will
come as a result of conscious control
either by voluntary cooperative effort
or by the State" he declared.
