Her short tragic life ended at 2:10 pjn. Saturday in South Haven Community hospital as the result of injuries allegedly inflicted last Wednesday evening by her mother and stepfather. Lodged in the county jail at Paw Paw on charges of felonious assault are Gordon Antcileff, 39, and his wife Shirley, 25, of 269 Park avenue, South Haven.

They said a Kalamazoo pathologist had been called to perform an autopsy at the consent of the girl's mother. City Police Chief Donald Hardy, said he was- told by prosecutor Adams that he would authorize a warrant against Antcileff charging him with manslaughter today. Hardy said he expects to bring Antcileff back to South Haven today for a new arraignment.

SAME CHARGE Mrs. Antcileff, mother of the dead girl, will be held for the time being on the original charge. Hardy said. Mrs. Antcileff had told police the girl was beaten because she had wet the bed.

She said Linda had been a disciplinary problem for some time. An attending physician said the girl had been apparently beaten with a hard object and marks on her body indicated she had been struck with a belt buckle. He said there were older scars on her, body indicating earlier beatings. Police said the girl never regained consciousness after being admitted to the South Haven hospital. Two broken paddles were confiscated by city police at the Antcileff home which are believed to have been used on the girL Neighbors told police the child was required to wear 'diapers and rarely allowed to go outside.

GORDON ANTCILEFF Faces manslaughter charg v' i SHIRLEY ANTCILEFF Mather held hi beating ICC May Get Rail Dispute Kennedy To Ask Two-Year Study WASHINGTON (AP) President Kennedy reportedly will ask Congress to let the Interstate Commerce Commission make a two-year study of the railroad work rules dispute and issue a binding settlement. Reports that this would be proposed circulated in Congress today as members awaited a formal message from the president outlining his plan to head off the nationwide railroad strike threatened for next week. The President had outlined his plans to a meeting of congressional leaders at the White House.

It was expected that Congress, if it enacted the proposal, would ask the railroads and unions to maintain the status quo until the ICC study was concluded. The legislative proposal would be concerned only with the current rail dispute, without amending the basic labor-management legislation now in effect. (See early story on Page 10, Sec. 1.) FBI Official Fined $500 In Giancana Case CHICAGO (AP) An FBI official was fined $500 in UjS. district court today for refusing to testify in a suit against him by Sam (Mooney) Giancana, a reputed underworld figure.

Capt. Stevens declared the fire had practically burned itself out by consuming oxygen in the tightly-closed house. The only remains of flames seen by firemen was a glow on some charred drapes.

The storm windows acted as sealer to turn the interior into what firemen described as an "oven." Damage to the story and a half house was confined mainly to the living room.

Shepherdson said presence of two library irooks near the origin of the fire Schiedel may have been reading before he fell asleep.
