However; he said his 42-year-old sister, whom he described as ‘“‘a loyal American,” told him last year ‘‘while under treatment for a severe nervous disorder” that she “had an association ‘with a left-wing study group.” He pictured his sister Adelaide's aceount as “confused and discon- nected”’ but said he asked FBI Director J.

Patton, 67, whose invalid wife was found dead in bed Saturday, was given a lie detector test today and re- leased to attend his wife’s funeral. Detective Sgt. Pete Franks said Patton agreed to take the test to help clear cireumsances surround- ing the death of his socially prom- inent wife. Authorities did not dis- close results of the tests. Franks said Patton had been held in city jail since Saturday night for investigation. Mrs. Patton, 65, had been con- sidered 2 helpless invalid for two years because of the amputation of both legs. She had suffered from cancer. City Detective W. R. Bland re- ported her husband explained he found her in bed apparently over- come by gas from an open jet. The officr added that Patton said his wife tried to kill herself some time ago by pushing a small table against the jet to force it open. Bland related the jet could be turned on this way but that it was improbable that a woman con- fined to bed could do so. Mrs. Patton, the former Mrs. William Fielder, operated: an awn- ing company here until her illness. Active in civic and social affairs, she was a former president of the Florida Federation of Garden clubs. She and Patton, a real estate operator, were married in 1947. Patton, who came here from Franklin, N.C., served three terms in the North Carolina Legislature. Public Stays Home From ‘Raid’ ERIE, P .

Case labeled a report which ap- peared in last Thursday’s editions of the Newark Star-Ledger as “a vicious smear campaign” and ‘dirty business.” The eh oa ar story, he said, purported: “‘to my younger sis- ter Adelaide to a Communist-front activity, which, in 1943, was or- ganized to seek the release of Mor- tis Schappes.” “Schappes was a New York col- lege profesg6t who had been sent to prison for lying about his Com- munist affiliations,” he said. “The basis for this allegation (by the Star-Ledger) was a statement at- tributed to Bella Dodd, a former Communist that there had been an Adelaide Case active in this group “The Adelaide Case mentioned by Bella Dodd was not my sister. Apparently Miss Dodd referred to another Adelaide Case who was a college professor in New York City and who died in 1948.” Missing Girl, 5, Makes Her Way To Safety Alone OKANOGAN, Wash.
