CHANGE OF WORD
 SAVES BIG MONEY
Attorney General Daly Has Made "ShaII" Into May
 on State Bill

Hartford, Conn.,, July 15.--(UP)-- State Welfare Commissioner Fred eric c. Walcott today estimated at $l40,000 year the states saving on funeral expenses of old age assist ance beneficiaries because of an in- depreciation of one word by Attor- ney General Edward J. Daly. A bill passed by the 1887 general assembly, called the "undertaker's bill," pro- vided that the state shall" pay $100 towards the funeral expenses of all old age beneflciaries. Attorney Gen. eral Daly in an opinion construed the word "shalf' to mean may"
 Under the interpretation. Commis- sioner Walcott said he could use dis cretion in the amounts paid to un- dertakers. He said families of bene- ficiaries, in many cases, could pay all or most of the funeral expenses The opinion, written by Assistant Attorney General Richard F. Corkey, said:
 This opinion enunciates the first principle of public aid or assistance that its measure must be that of need and that determination of that need must take into considera- ton all the circumstances, be just and absolutely free from any kind of favoritism."

Sim ultaneously another service was held in Hollywood where Gershwin was working when he died Sunday of brain tumor. Music, which Gersh- win had devoted his life and in which he had risen from plug ger" of popular songs to compo- ser of international repute, played an important part in the service here. Selections were played by Os- sip Giskin, celliSt; Gottfried H Federlein, organist, and the Perole quartet.
 The services were conducted by Rabbi Nathan A. Perilman and the eulogy was delivered by Rabbi Ste- phen A. Wise. Burial was in Mount Hope cemetery. Yohkers, N Y Gershwin's brother, Ira, who wrote the lyrics to much of the music George Grehswin wrote for Broad way musical shows. came here from
