(TJPI) — Baseball’s Ieo Durocher was de scribed today as “a kind of sub stitute daddy” to the family of a’ bricklayer who has accused him of stealing his wife’s love. The characterization was flung at the colorful Los Angeles Dod gers coach by attorney Gerard Trudeau, counsel |for bricklayer Rene Morin. The judge, who is presiding at the trial of the $150,000 alienation of affections suit Morin filed a- ; gainst Durocher, ordered the re- I marks stricken from the record. Durocher reiterated at the third day of the trial that he thought Morin’s allegations were “asinine, absurd and ridiculous." He had testified previously he was in love with one of Morin’s daughters, not his wife and that he had1 given gifts to the entire family. Durocher who previously dteclos^ ed his love for Morin’s daughter Carolyn said he thought she and her three sisters “love their fath er very much."

Canon Howard A. Johnson of the Cathedral of St. John the Di \ine in New York labeled some funeral directors as “ghoulish gravediggers, traffickers in death and expoiters of bereavement.” He added that these persons are in the minority and that most morticians perform their tasks honestly. But he said he doesn’t blame the erimg undertakers so much as he does American religious in stitutions which ‘‘no longer teach our parishioners the art of dy ing." “If Christians and Jews knew eien the rudiments of Biblical teaching, no funeral director could have a field day, as he now has,” Canon Johnson said. “Most of America seems to be involved in a vast conspiracy to ihush up the fact of death. This hush-hush campaign betrays a deep, neurotic sickness in the American character.” Canon Johnson gave his views to a Senate antitrust subcommit tee, which is looking into the practices of funeral directors for possible antitrust violations and ether conduct which might not be in the public interest. Chairman Philip A. Tart, (D» 6Mich„) released a price compnrfc son chart listing the cost of U different caskets to a funeral di rector in each of 13 states and the price for which each sells the" fureral in which the particular casket is used. The chart, drawn by the sub committee staff, showed that the cost of a funeral skyrockets as the price of the casket goes up. al though all other services remain the same. POr example, an undertaker in Missouri buys a No. 1 type casket for $60 and charges $150 for the funeral. He buys a No. 1* style casket for $439.15 and gets $1J» for the funeral.
