First, Surgeon Norman E. Shum-way's team concluded that Kasperak's life was threatened by liver and pile-duct trouble, for which they must operate.

Died. Clare E. Hoffman, 92, long-time (1935-63) Republican Congressman from Michigan; of pneumonia; in Allegan, Mich. Hoffman generated so much bile over F.D.R., the New Deal, organized labor, and U.S. internationalism that even fellow Republicans were uneasy in his terrible-tongued presence, and Massachusetts' Democrat John McCormack was once moved to remark: ''I hold all my colleagues in highest esteem. I hold the gentleman from Michigan in my minimum-highest esteem...
