CALLS BAR AND MEDICAL GROUPS 'CLOSED SHOPS' HARRISBURG-UP-The Pennsylvania Bar Association and State Medical Society run "closed shop," John H. Dent, Senate Democratic floor leader, charged yesterday. Speaking on a bill which would permit undertakers', aides lacking presently educational qualifications to take morticians' examinations, Dent said the "medical and legal professiong should clear out some of the dead wood and cob webs." The organizations could do this, Dent said, by taking in persons who haven't attended school as long as required but who would make good doctors and lawyers. HERMIT'S BODY FOUND; VICTIM OF BOOBY TRAP (Continued from Page 1.) the third-story room, saw a human foot. Detectives Joseph Whitmore and John Loughery threw a bed spring and a ragged love seat out of a window.

A large white rat leaped out of the opening. The detectives said dot was at least 10 inches long. It took minutes more before they uncovered three quarters of the body and confirmed it was Langrats that roamed the home had mutilated the left foot. The blue-eyed, timid little man had not shaved off his flowing mustache or cut long white hair as some neighbors claimed he had done recently to disguise himself. He lay on his right side, dressed in blue coveralls and a brown jacket, which had been torn by the hungry rats.

It was the tons of junk, which some relatives complained contained valuables, that slowed the search. Police removed 14 grand pianos, five valuable violins, 3,000 books, parts of a Model-T Ford, the jawbone of a horse, pictures of pin-up girls, a dress makers dummy, bundles of newspapers and broken, defaced heirlooms which antique experts said weren't worth as much as the junk around them. Just before finding Langley, police found a white shirt and red necktie which his father had given him on his 35th birthday. Neither had been worn. When Langley made his last public appearance last July to testify against a housebreaker, neighbors were surprised to see him wearing a white shirt since the house had no running water nor sanitary facilities.

The shirt was clean, but he wore it wrong-side-out.
