Greentuich CoupleAre Found Shot To Death
Woman of the Household Had Been the Real Money l Farmer of Famiy-Man Had No Scruples About sSs a@. l;ssgs4 43 It, He Had Told His Friends

New York, Jan. 3-(UP)--William Tisord often told Greenwich vil- lage friends that he had no scruples against living on money his wife earned. If she had a godo job as a department store buyer, he ex- plained in Bohemian gatherings, while he had only a ,WPA job. it was no fault of his and he didn't mind her pre-eminence a bit. He cus- tomarily capped such a dissertation with a chuckled comment that We don't care who wears the pants at our house so long as the rents paid" He did 1t so well that their friends believed him until today, when po- lice decided that Lifford must have suffered greatly over his predica- ment, perhaps to che point of be- coming insane.
 They Were Missed
 Police entered the case because Mrs. Lifford who was Patsy Ann Jamisots of Dollars before her mar riage, didn't 90 to work yesterday. At noon two girls called at her apartment to inquire about her. The morning papers and the milk hadn't been taken in so the girls called the janitor. The janitor opened the apartment with Q pass key. On the bed they found Lifford and his wife dead, a bullet through the head of each.
 Both Were Shot
 Mrs. Lifforo was in @ nightgown, under the bedding. Her husband lay beside her on top fully dressed ex- cept for shoes. Police believed that Lifford shot his wife while she slept, then lay down and killed himself.
 A neighbor, Mrs. Blanche Mar gules,. revealed the attitude of the young Liffords toward each other.
 T asked him recently to come to my studio in the evening to see some of my paintings" she said. "He said No thank you. I work nights and my wife works days and we treasure our evenings together so much that I wouldn't take minute away from her."

 Rome, Jan. 3-(UP)-Newspapers goaded public opinion to anger against Ethiopia today in apparent preparation for a ruthless aerial bombardment campaign in East Africa.
