Congress Must Act
To Preserve Health
OF u, s., Pepper Say,

Much work remains to be done If
subsequent Congresses are to at
tempt to meet pressing national
health problems with the greatest
possible economy" Senator Pepper,
Democrat, of Florida, declared in
the sixth and final report of the
Subcommittee on Health and Educa-
ton OF the Senate Committee on
Education and Labor, released today
Senator Pepper, who was chair
man of the recently disbanded SUBJ
committee, said competing bills and
administrative jurisditions and over
tapping expeditures in the health
field must be studied and reorgan-
tied" If the problems are to be
properly dealt with.
Health is a national problem, he
said and subsequent Congress is
faced with the challenge of dealing
with 1t appropriately" Particularly
needed, Senator Pepper added, is a
critical appraisal of the better dis
tribution Of our health personnel
and facilities in the light of q more
extensive study of selective service
and rural and industrial health data
gathered during the war"
He said the work of the Subcom-
mittee during the three years Of its
existence had pointed out 1.-The colos-
sal waste of manpower and economic
resources caused by the ill health
Of our people and at the same time
provided Congress with the basic
date necessary to support legislation
which would remedy this situation. -

He was and is strong man, with no
trace in his features Of the hidden
emotion which was to erupt in mur-
der.
Less than a year ago, the "other
woman" cast her shadow over the
Connell household. She was Maltese
girl, olive-skinned and flashing-eyed.
her dark beauty a complete contrast
TO Cora's blond loveliness. She was
known as MARY Of Conspicura."
Whether Cora ever knew of
Mary's existence is doubtful-but
certainly she knew that someone was
robbing her of Joseph's affection.
He spent less and less time at home,
and he gave Cora less money for
household and personal expenses.
Finally, in the summer, Joseph
realized he was in an impossible sit
uation-he was married to one
woman, and infatuated with another.
Out of his desperate search for a
solution to his dilemma the only
answer he seemed able to find was
murder.
But ii was to be murder for pay
not murder by Joseph Connell.
He first approached Carmelo
Mercieca, swarthy native, who adj
mitted during his sensational testi-
mony at the trial that he had "a way
with the women"
Joseph told me-" testified Car

melo before packed courtroom,
that he would give me 20 pounds to
do away with his wife.
He told me TO tell Mrs. Connell
that her husband had left a box of
stolen gold at some prearranged spot
atop a cliff, and that she was to go
with me to get it"
But Carmelo, who was supposed
TO push Cora over the cliff, found
romance instead of fake gold.
Carmelo said he was taken" with
Cora the moment he saw her, and
that the thought of murder grew
more and more distasteful as they
made their way together up the cliff.
At the top. they looked out over
the blue waters of the Mediterranean.
Cora, unhappy those many months,
turned trusting1y toward the man
hired to push her over the cliff and
Carmelo was no longer able to enter
tain the thought of killing her. They
wandered together through the moon
light and in the morning, before she
went home, Carmelo touchingly made
Cora a present of his sandals.
Cora had sealed her own fate
but she didn't know ii.
