The Covington-born Una Merkel, 41-year-old stage and screen comedienne, was out of danger in a New York hospital late yesterday after a narrow escape from death when her mother ended her life by inhaling gHS only a few feet from where Miss Merkel slept. Death of the mother, Mis. Arno Merkel, 70, came as a shock to many Greater Clnclnnatlans, for mother and daughter had been frequent visitors here when the actress's uncle, Carl Merkel, lived at 230 Wolper Clifton, up to six years ago.

When a hotel employee at the fashionable Essex House, where the red-haired film star and her mother had lived since last May, found the Inert body of Miss Merkel, she was suffering from the combined effects of the gas and what police thought was a normal sleeping potion. Several hours later she was roused to consciousness, but the double blow of her mother's death and her bout with the gas left her too weak to give any coherent account of what had happened. Mrs. Merkel was found lying on the floor of her small kitchen. Her wrists wore slashed and four jets of a gas stove were open.

A note near her body gave the reasons tor her action and directions for the disposal of money and other personal property. Mrs. Merkel had taken whut(l proved to be futile precautions to. protect her daughter from her action by stuffing large towels into cracks in the kitchen door to pigment escape of the gas. Police relfiased the contents of the note, which was addressed to'l the husband, Arno Merkel, who is said to be in Mexico City.
