Dr. John Storer, acting Allen Parish coroner, said an autopsy performed Sunday revealed Smith's death was caused by a broken neck.

He said Dr. Paul Shorts, coroner for the parish, would hold an inquest today. One member of the fraternity contacted by the Lake Charles American Press Sunday said he had been advised by college officials not to give out any information concerning the accident or the fraternity. The college spokesman said the initiation was known as "Night Quest" and had been a part of the fraternity's initiation practices for many years. Pledges are taken to nearby towns or communities and must walk or "hitch-hike" back to Lake Charles, according to the spokesman.

According to reports, there are four fraternal organizations on the McNeese campus. Two of the bodies use formal, nationally approved initiation methods while two use informal ceremonies such as "Night Quest." President Wayne Cusic of McNeese said an investigation would be conducted to determine if any of the college's rules had been broken by the initiation practices. Ellis R. Guillory, dean of students at McNeese, said the fraternity has decided to quit initiation practices of this type. Guillory said the action was taken by the group before the investigation by the college was undertaken Sunday.

Michael Ellis DeBakey, the car- diovascular surgeon whose newest patient is the Duke of Windsor, once said, "Everyone could do 20 per cent more than he is doing." "Dr. DeBakey apparently is trying to make up this loss all by himself," says a colleague. DeBakey, 56, professor of surgery at Baylor University's College of Medicine, works 20 hours a day and sleeps 4. "When you first meet him you get this feeling of urgency," an associate said in describing De- Bakey, who very much resembles comedian Groucho Marx without the mustache. "He is a man in a hurry.

If he sits down, it is for a specific purpose, not to rest." Aides say it is not unusual for DeBakey to perform six to eight major operations a day. He reports to Methodist Hospital at 7 a.m.' daily, but he is out of bed long before that, working on scientific papers and I business correspondence. He introduced the use of snythetic tubes to replace blood vessels injured by anaurysms. I His operating team, which I also helped develop a heart-lung machine which permits open heart surgery, includes Dr. Denton Cooley, an originator of open heart surgery; Dr.

George C. Morris whose speciality is surgery on the vessels in the abdomen; and Dr. Arthur Beall, Baylor's director of experimental surgery. In the past six weeks the team has performed 5,600 major cardiovascular procedures. It has a 95 per cent recovery record.

Dr. DeBakey is a native of Lake Charles, and took his medical training at Tulane University. After he had received his degree in 1932 he worked in (the New Orleans Charily Hospital. He also studied at Strasbourg, Austria, under Dr. Rene Leriche, a French pioneer in vascular surgery.

DeBakev is chairman of President Johnson's committee on heart disease, cancer and stroke. Duke Begins Tesfs Today HOUSTON, Tex. iAP) The i Duke of Windsor starts a series of tests today at Methodist Hospital where he probably will undergo arterial surgery later this week. The duke, 70, once King Edward VIII of Great Britain, was to arrive with his wife today by train from New York. The duke, who abdicated the (throne 28 years ago to marry the duchess the former Walii's Warfield Simpson, an American i divorcee is suffering from an janeurysm in an abdominal an! ery, an aide said An aneurysm is a balloon-like blister on the I artery Actor William Bendix Said Near Death HOLLYWOOD (AP) William Bendix, whose rough-guy looks and softfe heart endeared him to television fans of "The Life of Riley," lay near death today from lobar pneumonia.

Doctors at Good Samaritan Hospital said his condition has been weakened by malnutrition brought on by a stomach ailment. Bendix, 58, was admitted to the hospital Tuesday. He had been living In the nearby desert resort of Palm Springs since finishing a road- company tour of the play "Never Too Late" earlier in the year. His wife of 37 years, Therese, 58, said he had been suffering from stomach trouble for some time. He was operated on for stomach ulcers in 1955.

The Bendix daughters, Stephanie, 20, and Lorraine, 30, were keeping vigil with their mother. Last May, Bendix sued the CBS television network for $2,658,000 after cancellation of a proposed television show in which he was to co-star with Martha Raye. He charged, along with breach of contract, that CBS-TV President James Aubrey was spreading false rumors that he was not well enough to do a television show. The suit was settled for an undisclosed amount. Bendix was born in New York City on Jan.

14, 1906. His father and (wo uncles decided he should be a violinist. It was as the harried, comic Riley that, Bendix gained his widest audience. He began the role on radio in 1944, played it in the movies in 1949, and moved to television in 1953. The show ran for eight seasons.

City to Start Levying New Sales Tax in Three Months Lake Charles has joined I state's three largest cities and 32 other communities in levying a city sales tax, according to complete but unofficial returns from Saturday's election. Collection of the voter approved one per cent tax, however, is not expected to begin for at least three months. Property owners in the city also approved a $12.7 million bond issue dedicated to seven capital improvement programs, according to the returns. Voters in ail of the city's 32 precincts favored the sales lax. The unofficial tally showed 5.509 voting for the measure and 2,328 against.

This was the fourth time the sales tax measure has been presented to city voters but unlike previous occasions, this one had the approval of the entire city council. Only 31.1 per cent of the city's 25,124 registered voters turned out for the election. It was the smallest turnout of voters on a city wide sales tax proposal suice the Nov. 25, 1953 election when 3,226 voted down a similar proposition. The sales tax would not have bee levied if all of the bond issue proposals had been de feated.

Only registered voters were property owners were eligible to vote on the bond issue and they had to approve at least one of the seven propositions by both popular and assessment votes for the sales tax to become effective. Property owners were more reluctant to give a "green light" to the bond issue which would increase property taxes Ji) the city. Although ai) seven proposals were approved overall, three precincts rejected all of the bond proposals, both by PAST SALES TAX VOTES ARE LISTED Here are the results of three previous sales tax flections held in Lake Charles 1.
