op of the Los Angeles archdiocese. Six close friends, Henry Hathaway. William Goetz, Jimmy Stewart, Jack Benny, Charles K. Feldman and Jerry Wald, will serve as pallbearers at the burial at Holy Cross Cemetery in Inglewood. Honorary pallbearers include, author Ernest Hemingway, who is ill and will be unable to at-1 tend. John Wayne, Henry Ford 11, Bing Crosby. Burt Lancaster, Dick Powel, Kirk Douglas and Danny Kaye. Request Contributions Mrs. Cooper asked that contributions be made to the Sloan-

Kettering Institute of Cancer Research in New York City in lieu of flowers. Cooper’s casket will be sealed because the family wants him to be remembered “as his friends saw him In life.” Fear that the ceremonies might turn into a circus has prompted Mrs. Cooper to appeal to the public to let her husband be laid to rest privately and in a dignified manner. Extra police have been assigned to the funeral procession. Only persons having special cards will be admitted Tuesday to the church, which seats about 500 persons. The services will be restricted to close friends and business, associates. Msgr. Daniel Sullivan, who administered the last rites to Cooper Friday, will sing the funeral mass. Father Henry J. Johnson will be the deacon and Father Harold Ford will serve as sub-

deacon. The Rev. Ford gave Cooper his first commuriion after he was converted to Catholicism in 1959. Had Been Semiconscious The actor bad been only semiconscious for two weeks and was visited only by his wife, daughter, Msgr. Sullivan and Dr. Rexford Kennamer. “He had a great will to live, or he might not have survived this long.” Dr. Kennamer said. Kennamer said Friday night that Cooper’s death was only a matter of hours away and there was no hope for his life. The doctor said, however, that Cooper never lost confidence he would beat the disease, even though the pain was almost unbearable. Two male nurses attended the actor through his ordeal. A friend said Mrs. Cooper and Maria were as courageous as the dying star. They kept a vigil at his bedside for more than two weeks. “One of them was always there when Coop regained consciousness,” the friend said. “Even when he died they did not break down.” Starred In Many Movies Word of Cooper’s cancer didn’t get out past his close friends until James Stewart almost cried while giving an acceptance speech in Cooper’s behalf at the Academy Award presentations last April 17. Cooper was presented an Oscar for special contributions to the industry. Stewart said: “We’re very, very proud of you. Coop. All of us are tremendously proud.” The tall, lanky Montana native, born Frank Cooper, worked in the movies for 35 years and was one of the most beloved stars in the industry’s history. He starred in such famous pictures as~ “Pride of the Yankees,” “Sergeant York” (this role brought him his first Oscar in 1941), “For Whom the Bell Tolls,” “Meet John Doe,” “The Westerner” and “High Noon,” which brought him his second Oscar.

Storms Renew Fury Today In Midwest Areas By United Press International Tornadoes and thunderstorms renewed their fury in the Midwest today, smashed an Illinois farm town and glutted the nation’s two mightiest rivers. The middle of May found a quarter of the United States battling floods, heavy rain, tornado threats, and in three states, as much as a foot of snow that stranded travelers, endangered crops and snapped power cables. Flood threats ran generally along the Mississippi and Ohio rivers, depositories for 10 days of lowland runoffs. Far from the Mississippi, Maine had its share of high water with a flood threat in the St. John River valley of upper Aroostook County. Melting ice on lakes and rivers feeding the St. John brought a “critical” flood forecast from the Weather Bureau. Despite an early week forecast of rain along the two major river valleys, the U.S. Weather Bureau at Chicago said there was little prospect of “Serious new flooding.” But recovery from floods that still covered thousands of acres and dozens of roads in Southern Illinois, Indiana and Missouri was slow. It was hampered further by a weekend rash of midwestern tornadoes that kept parts of five states on official alert until dawn today. The funnels roared out of an intense storm center over lowa late J Sunday, demolished 15 homes at I Douglas near Peoria, 111., and cut through Elmwood, Yates City and Maquon, all in west central Illinois. Other twisters struck the Farmington, 111., area, injured two I persons and killed 20 cattle in Waupaca County of southern Wisconsin, and tore open a silo near Neillsville, Wis. At Douglas, 111., five members of the Delrhar Williamson family and a hired hand on the Williamson farm were hospitalized for injuries suffered when their house collapsed in a tornado. Williamson said the damage “was not bad—it was complete. The whole house blew away and the foundation caved in on us. After it was over we dug but and walked outside. Our farm was gone.”
