CARELESS of Death

London, June 70. - (AP) King
George VI decreed only family mourn
ing for Queen Elizabeth's mother, the

flicting reports on the condition of
Max Schmseling, confined to Po.T-
clinic hospital following his one
round knockout by Joe Louis, were
clarified this afternoon by an Off
cial hospital statement that the
transverse process of only one verte-

This changed the original diagnosis
of DIR. Robert Brennan, who stated
Schmeling had suffered fractures of
the transverse processes of the third
and fourth lumbar vertebrae, with G
hemorrhage of the lumbar muscles
Following a re-examination of X-ray
plates, it was determined the fracture
was confined to the left side of the
lumbar vertebrate. The confirmation
came from A. A. Jaller, executive Of
ficer of the hospital, after formal
statement had been issued:
"After a thorough examination, we
find Mr.. Something's condition very
satisfactory. His temperature and

authorized to speak for the former

the mysterious kidnapping and es-
trangeme mt report affecting his fam
lily.
Scotland Yard men were sid to
be at Croydon airport this morning
epared to serve papers on the count
if he returns. One report said ne

Reventlow over custody of their two
year-old son, Lance, who, it has been
estimated, would inherit $20yOOGOO(
from his mother.
A spokesman for the countess said
