the doctor on what exercises will

Some patients who have been

That trade stopped last mid
night and as yet there was no

Truck freight service between
Berlin and West Germany-though
thinned by the Soviet holdup of
shipping permits which forced
resort to air freight-continued
this morning.
But freight consignments from
West Germany for destinations
inside the Soviet zone were
stopped by Western customs
guards. This trade stoppage de-
priVes the Soviet zone of about
$238,000 worth of Western goods
daily, among them badly needed
iron and steel products.
At Helmstedt, West German
border police reported 40 trucks
from East Germany beat the mid
night deadline and rolled through
to Western Germany destinations.
Since that time, police said, no
truck traffic has tried to cross.
Rail and barge traffic was idle,
too. Border police said this
traffic had been dWindling for the

Passenger train delays were re-

MiI|ionaire's Sister
Protests S143,5OO Fee
To Doctors, Lawyers
By the Associafed Press

NEW YORK. Aug. 3.-The
'spinster sister of John A. (Fish-
hooks Mccarthy, who is worth
millions but believes he is broke.
has appealed a court allowance of
$143,500 in fees to lawyers and
'psychiatrists to care for the 83-
|year-old man.
The sister. Anna V. Mccarthy,
~, had been accused of wrong
fully withdrawing ST million from
her brothers assets, set at be-
tween So million and SO million.
In State Supreme Court yester-
day, Miss Mccarthy termed the
legal and medical fees spent on
her brother excessive and exhor-
bitant." She asked that the
four man commission handling
Mr.. McCarthy's affairs be reduced
TO two.
The sister has been joined in
the protest by the Catholic Char
tiles Of the Archdiocese of New
York. Half of the estate will go
to the charities on the death OF
Mr.. Mccarthy, and the entire
estate will go to the church Cr-
ganiZation on the death of both
the millionaire and Miss Nc
Carthy.
In the argument over fees, JUS
tice Morris Eder said Miss Nc
Carthy got between 100000 and
81 million of her brothers funds
from him. The justice quoted Miss
Mccarthy as saying:
Il got it while the getting was
good"
Mr.. Mccarthy was nicknamed
'F'ishhooks" by Tammany cronles,
who accused him of lining his
pockets with f1shhooks- allowing
money to enter but not get out.
Mr.. Mccarthy, unmarried, lives
in seclusion in a mansion just of
Fifth avenue and broods because
he believes he has no money. Once
he was prominent building ma
terials dealer, real estate and ous-
line operator.
He was close associate of the
late Tammany Boss Charles F.
Murphy.
