EAST END FUNERAL DIRECTOR SUED FOR $50,000 WOMAN ACCUSES ROBERT G. MAY - SAYS HE REFUSED TO KEEP WORD IN BREACH OF PROMISE CHARGE Robert R. May, prominent funeral director of 436 E. Walnut St., and reputed to be one of the most successful business men in Kentucky, was made the defendant in a breach of promise suit Tuesday, by Miss Elizabeth Dotson of 432 South 21st Street. Miss Dotson is suing Mr. May for a total of $50,000. In her petitions she says that she met the undertaker "socially" in 1932, and that he paid her a "great deal of attention and affection" maintaining her "home and assisting her financially". Miss Dotson further claims, Mr. May became a widower, November 6, 1941, and agreed to marry her a year later, but that he "still refuses to comply with that agreement." Miss Dotson claims that she did not become intimate with Mr. May until he made promised to marry her "as soon as he became eligible." She claims that her "reputation, matrimonial prospects, earning power and standing have been hurt and that she has suffered "great mental pain," anguish, humiliation, embarrassment and shame," for which she asks $25,000, and for Mr. May's "wanton acts" she asks $25,000 punitive damages, which makes Mr. May the subject of a suit for $50,000.

Truth of the matter is, at least a half-dozen union organizations in the Auto City would like to do some polite labor pirating to secure her services. Miss Kirk, a popular figure in labor circles, was educated in Detroit and worked previously with the Michigan Unemployment Commission. She confesses to a love for horseback riding. SOLDIER RESCUED BY KENTUCKIAN Williams Field, Ariz., June 10--Corporal Greene Clarke, 226 Matthews street, Barbourville, Kentucky, of an aviation sqardron, stationed at Williams Fields, saved a fellow soldier from death by drowning when he plunged headlong into a swimming pool to rescue Private Sammy Keener, North Little Rock, Arkansas. At the time of the accident, Corporal Clarke was seated in a truck some 50 yards away from the pool. When he heard shouts, witnesses said Corporal Clarks leaped from the cab, ran up the steep embankment to the pool, and taking time only to remove his heavy shoes, dived to the bottom where Keener was already lying unconscious in about nine feet of water. Clarke brought the soldier to the surface, and without waiting for arrival of ambulance, he applied artificial respiration. Keener was breathing when medical aid arrived. HUNLEY GOODALL SUCCUMBS AT 80 William Hundley Goodall, outstanding Louisville educator and newspaper man in the early days, passed away at his home in Anchorage, Kentucky, Saturday, June 12. Mr.Goodall, who was eighty years old, was known as a eloquent and witty speaker and a prolific and militant writer. He is said to have aided many persons or friends who needed information and knowledge to prepare themselves for the positions which they sought. Funeral services for Mr. Goodall were held at the Church of Our Merciful Savior, Tuesday afternoon, Rev. C. A. Fisher officiating. He is survived by his wife Mrs. Georgia Goodall, two daughters and two sons. Interments in the Louisville cemetery.
