year-old brunet, arrested in a downtown hotel room in which a blood-

stained blanket was found, but said later that she was charged only with vagrancy and had no connection with the slaying. Chief McCord said a man’s thumb print, etched in blood on the wall of the corridor where Miss Miley was found, was being studied by finger-print experts. He said all five, shots fired came from a .32 caliber automatic but that it could not be determined immediately if they came from one gun or two. Police seized the social register of the club, containing names of some of the most prominent aristocrats in the blue grass capital as well as guests at the Saturday night dance. Mrs. Miley was placed in an oxygen tent at «+St. Joseph's Hospital this morning. An attendant said the chances were “a thousand to one against her recovery.” Miss Miley was a slender, tall girl with glistening black hair and an animated face, For nine years, sports writers and galleries at the country’s leading tournaments for women have been unanimous in praise of both her game and her beauty. She held the Western Amateur, the Western Open, the Southern, and the Trans-Mississippi titles and was runner-up in the last National Women’s Amateur.

Mother Managed Club

Her body was clad in pajamas and she had—apparently hastily—drawn on a negligee, perhaps .to rush to the aid of her mother. Her body was found in a corridor outside her bedroom. Mrs. Miley is manager of the country club. Her daughter lived there between her. travels from tournament to tournament, The husband and father, Fred Miley, was formerly professional at Lexington. He is now professional at a Cincinnati club and was not there Saturday night. After the guests of Saturday night's dance left, the ground floor doors and windows of the clubhouse were locked and Mrs. Miley and her daughter went up to their apartment. ‘The next heard of them was at 4 a. m. when Mrs. Miley crawled ‘onto the porch at a sanitarium, and, screaming, gave the alarm, She was awakened by a hammer-

ing on her door, she said. She opened it and confronted two men, who had handkerchiefs tied around the lower parts of their faces. One of them demanded the receipts from the dance — approximately $145. She said the money was in bags on a closet shelf. Then one of the men knocked her down with an iron pipe wrapped in a towel Whereupon one of the men firéd at her three times. This aroused Miss Miley, she said. The girl came running from her room and was met by a bullet in the forehead. (A second bullet entered her back.) The robbers left with the receipts, Mrs. Miley said, but first broke the telephone connections. Then in great agony she crawled down the stairs, out ofthe clubhouse, across the fairways and greens, and, at last, reached the sanitarium.

Lapses Into Coma She placed the time of the crime

was given from the sanatarium at approximately 4 a. m. Mrs. Miley lapsed into a coma at 7 a. m, yesterday, from which she has not roused, despite four blood transfusions. Her husband, summoney from Cincinnati, was at her bedside. , : . Authorities said they had evidence that the crime was committed in the dark, or only in the light of hand torches, as the clubhouse’s own lights were not used. Mrs. Miley descriped one of the men as tall and blond, wearing a gray suit; the other as attired in a jacket from which one button was missing. A newsboy delivered papers on the clubhouse porch just before 4 a. m. and saw -two cars—the Miley car, and a large, blue sedan. The second . car ‘was .gone - when police arrived. The ground floor doors and windows of the clubhouse were all closed and locked with the. exception of a window too small to admit a man, which was open. It was still covered with cobwebs when police examined it. Chief McCord said four electric switches inthe basement, had been pulled and that the electric clock in Mrs. Miley's room had stopped at 2:06 a. m. : “The shooting of Miss Miley and her mother was not the work of professional robbers,” he said, “It was too unnecessary. Robbers could have taken the money without bloodshed.” :

" Called ‘Brutal Crime’

The crime, he sald, was “the most brutal in Kentucky history.” Chief McCord said $60 was found in a drawer in a desk in the clubhouse office. If robbery had been tle motive, this money would have been taken since the “criminals obviously knew the premises well when they went into the basement to pull the light switches,” he theorized. He has questioned several of the approximately 150 persons who attended the dance and will talk to more of them today. . The country club offered g $1000 reward for the apprehension of the criminals and Governor Keen Johnson of Kentucky said the state also would offer a reward. - Guy W. Maupin, identification superintendent of Lexington police, was attempting to: separate a mage of fingerprints, found in Mrs. Miley's room and in the - blood-stained corridor where Miss Miley died.

ANGLO-U. S.-RED PARLEY BEGINS

Harriman and Beaverbrook Are Received by Stalin; Molotov Presides.

MOSCOW, Sept. 20 (U. P.).—The Anglo-American-Russian war conference opened at 1 p. m. today under the chairmanship of Soviet Foreign Commissar V. M. Molotov. A preliminary discussion by the chiefs of the American and British delegations, W. Averell Harriman and Lord Beaverbrook, was held with Premier Josef Stalin at the Kremlin. The early meeting lasted three and a quarter hours and was described as a most cordial discussion of “practical questions.” The full conference hoped to complete its deliberations within a week. Today's plenary session lasted two and a half hours. The need for speed was emphasized by all three nations. : :

Transportation a Problem W. Averell Harriman, leader of the United States delegation, and Lord Beaverbrook, head of the British group, arrived last night. “We are here to find out in detail what Russia's needs are now and for the future, and to make present and future plans to supply them in so far as possible,” Mr. Harriman said. “We hope to work very fast because time is most important.” Cs He said the conference would discuss transportation of materials as well &s the question of supply. He disclosed that Russia had presented a list of requirements to the United States but had not asked for anything under the Lease-Lend Act.

Discuss Division of Supplies

The conference was suggested by President Roosevelt and Prime Min-. ister Winston Churchill after their conference in the North Atlantic. In a leter to Stalin, Mr. Roosevelt and Mr. Churchill promised to continue arms shipments to Russia and proposed the conference to determine how best to distribute American and British war supplies among forces on the Russian front, the British home front, and British armies in the Near and Far East. The conferees also will consider how much raw material each power can supply and will discuss questions of long-term strategy, probably laying the basis for the 1942 campaign against the Axis. The arrival of Mr. Harriman and Lord Beaverbrook completed the American and British delegations, part of which have been here for several days.

23 in U, 8S. Party The American delegation com-

miral William H. Standley, Maj. Gen. James H. Burns, William L. Batt of the Office of Production Management and others. Mr, Harriman sig, Col, Philip R. Raymonville, secretary of the delegation, would remain here to work out supply problems after the conference. Col. Faymonville, a former military attache here, is the leading American expert on. the Russian army. A light fall snow blanketed Moscow as the conference began. A crack military band played “God Save the King,” the “Star Spangled Banner” and the “International,” in the order named.

Seek Neutrality Change

The International and Comparative Law Section’s Committee on Laws was to recommend this afternoon that support be given- President Roosevelt's move to repeal the Neutrality Act. The report declares: “We recommend that the President be free from the restrictions of the so-called Neutrality - Act, and that he exercise all of our national rights under treaties and . international law.” - If the Section approves the report it then must be transmitted to the delegates for final approval. Another resolution, to .be submitted to the Assembly this morning, will urge that the Association go on record as asking for a defining of freedom of speech and press which is to the best interests of the nation.

Woman is Author

The author, Miss Dorothy Frooks' of Peekskill, N, Y., said that “Our Constitution had no intention of permitting free speech to set class against class and religion against religion in this country.” The Section of Judicial Administration’s program was io be featured ‘alsb by an. address by

the Harvard Law School, and a banquet with William L. Vande'venter of Springfield, Mo., as chief speaker. Mr. Lashly said that the lawyers and Judges, working together, can accomplish the reforms in the bench and bar.

Calls This Strategic Time

“This is the most strategic time we have ever had to accomplish that which through the years has limped along undone,” he said. “It is a time when everyone is stirred with an unaccustomed zeal to do his part to save the institution of democracy which may have been neglected.” ; He warned that there never may be another opportunity for the organized bar of America to do a work of such vital public worth. Mr. Lasnly also urged that the organized bar take. a more portant and effective” part in the making of laws than ever has been dole before.

Greater Public Role Asked

“It has been the traditional policy of the American Bar Association, and of the state and local associations also, not to engage in any political activities, nor as a group to become affiliated with any political party or movement; nor to lend themselves to the indorsement or support of any candidate for political office. Undoubtedly this is a sound and a wholesome policy. = : : “But the time has come now when the organizations of the bar must take a more active and influential part in public affairs, as other nationally organized groups have found it necessary or expedient 0. : “They must not any longer hold aloof, for the fear that their purposes may be misunderstood, or misconstrued. The times will not admit of that . . .”

‘We Are Not Afraid’

And, Mr. Lashly said, we “shall not fear the future, whose dangers we cannot know.” : “That would be cowardice,” he sald. “Truly this is a time that tries men’s souls; but most of them, when they are tried, are not found wanting. With whatever energies we may ess; with loyalty complete and uncomplaining: with an inex! le will to defend our country, our people and our system of government, the solid Bar of
