About 89 per cent of those attending outpatient clinics are free patients. Admitting-department personnel check each patient and classify him as to financial status. This is done chiefly through interviews with relatives on income, property, and other factors, but also may be done by letters to employers or by an investigation by credit-rating bureaus. Classes Are Given There are three classifications. One group gets all services free, another pays roughly half cost, and the third pays full rate.

Ward rates for full-pay patients are $15 for the first day, ranging down to $5 daily by the fourth. Full-pay obstetrical-ward patients pay S50. Full-pay clinic' patients pay $3 for the first visit and $1.50 for repeat visits. Patients from all families with less than $32 a week income receive free care. Others get free treatment depending on the number of dependents.

A man earning $74 a week may get free care, for example, if he has more than eight dependents. Hospital-insurance cases and nonresidents are classed as full-pay patients in all cases of bed admission. The rates do not include special nursing or unusual medicine.

Washington, Nov. 24. The National Labor Relations Board today dismissed an unfair-labor charge against Local No. 16 of the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers, A.F.L., in a case from Owensboro, Ky. Indiana Fire Kills Mother, Three Children Use of Gas To Kindle Stove Is Blamed Rockville, Nov.

24 (P) A young mother and her three children burned to death today in a log-cabin fire blamed on a gasoline explosion. Coroner H. S. Branson of Parke County said the mother, Mrs. Pauline Pardue, 20, apparently tried to start a stove fire with gasoline.

Also trapped in the blazing cabin were George Pardue, Pauline Patricia Pardue, 2 xk, and Penny Sue Pardue, 4 months. The father, George Pardue, 24, jumped through a window and drove a mile to the nearest neighbor's home for help. Mother Got Up Early The volunteer Fire Department from near-by Marshall was called. But when the firemen arrived, the four-room cabin Was in ashes and all they could do was pour water on the embers so the charred bodies could be taken out. The father was not burned seriously but he suffered so much shock he couldn't give a coherent account of the tragedy.

The coroner said the mother apparently arose early to care for the baby and to stir up the fire in a heating stove. The older children were sleeping in the only other bed in the cabin. The Pardue family moved from Indianapolis two years ago to the cabin on the Tom Henley farm, near Turkey Run State Park, where Pardue works as a farm hand. Mrs. Pardue is survived by her parents, Mr.

and Mrs. Harris Hendrickson, and a sister, all of Indianapolis, and a brother, Frederick Hendrickson, Waveland.

Vallev Youth Hurt In Gun 3Iishap Delbert Whiteside, 19, Valley Station, was taken to General Hospital yesterday with a gunshot wound in his left leg. He told County police, he and a friend, who was carrying a shotgun, were running in a field near his home about 12:30 p.m. The friend fell and the gun discharged accidentally, he said. Police did not report the name of the friend. Frederic A.

And Choral Was Louisville's of. Music' Frederic A. Cowles, Louisville's "dean of music," died at his home in the Weissinger-G a 1 Apartments at noon yesterday. The 68-year-old organist and choral director had been in ill health several months. Last March he retired as organist and choir director of Fourth Avenue Presbyterian Church, a post he had held 17 years.

In June a testimonial concert was given at the church in his honor. Born in Columbus, Cowles came here at the age of 15. He at Trinity Hall, an Episcopal school. His public musical career began the following year. Started 52 Years Ago On Easter Eve, 52 years ago, officials of the old First Christian Church, on the site of the present Starks Building, asked young Cowles to take charge of the music for the Easter service.

For the next four years he gave Monday afternoon organ recitals at the church. He also served as organist at Warren Memorial Presbyterian Church for four years. Later he became organist for Calvary Episcopal Church, from the General Hospital emergency room. Dr. Eller said most of these were caused by difference of opinion on the part of the patient and the doctor on what emergency care is.

"I would say that anything that prevents loss of or insures comfort of the patient until further care can be given constitutes emergency care," he added. In some cases, he explained, emergency care ends when the pain is relieved. In other cases a patient may be so ill that he would have to be kept as a patient in the hospital for a long time because it would be dangerous to move him. Emergency cases, short and long-term, are admitted regardless of whether the patient is wealthy or a nonresident. Illustrating the extent of emergency service given, Dr.

Eller said a Fort Knox soldier broke his leg. A splint was applied and he was sent to Fort Knox in an ambulance. A rich man cut an artery. The artery was tied off and sutured and the emergency phase ended there. If he had had a heart condition, though, he might have been kept at General Hospital as a full-pay patient.

Polio Chapter Pays Some other pay patients are admitted. The Keniucky Chapter of the National Foundation for Infantile Paralysis has an agreement whereby it pays General Hospital for care of some of its cases. Smallpox cases are sent there from over the state because General Hospital has the only Kentucky isolation facilities for such targe meaning of the Taft-Hartley Act. The law defines a "person" coming within its provisions as "one or more individuals, labor organizations, partnerships, associations, corporations, legal representatives, trustees, trustees in bankruptcy, or receivers." It excludes from the definition of "person" such agencies as "the United States or any wholly owned Government corporation, or any Federal Reserve bank, or any State or political subdivision thereof." inr 6r Jifc mi wit ft nYiiiT '7" Salesmen Get Feet In Door Anain To See The Judge Three magazine salesmen yesterday renewed their own subscriptions for appearance in Quarterly Court on charges of breach of peace.

9 It ruled unanimously that in this case a strike designed to cause the Owensboro School Board to cancel an electrical contract is not within the ban on sccondarv boycotts as outlined in the Taft-Hartley Act. The case arose after the Owensboro Board of Education awarded a $13,295 electrical contract to the Frank Abrams Electric Owensboro, a nonunion contractor. The Al J. Schneider Company, Shively, held the principal contract for construction of a new $220,000 school building. When Abrams first appeared for work on April 25, 1949, the board's review of the case said, the union picketed the building and Schneider's union carpenters left the job and did not return until June 13.

Schneider subsequently filed an unfair-labor- The board's trial examiner recommended that the complaint be dismissed on the ground that the electrical workers' action was a primary boycott against a nonunion firm, not a secondary boycott. The board agreed with the trial examiner on this point, but based its decision "on more fundamental grounds." It took the view that the Owensboro Board of Education could not be considered an "employer" within the Mother of 3 Teachers Here Dies In Bedford Special to The Courier-Journal. Bedford, Nov. 24.
