For 32 years Irene Riley, a victim of infantild paralysis, did not move from her sick bod, but she found life full of color and interest with a specially constructed reading stand at her bedside. Taking a homo study course from the New York University, she won her degree. Yesterday her parents loft her at homo and went to church. Her electric light cord short-circuited, starting a fire. She was able to move her hand enough to knock the telephone off the table. She screamed, and tho operator at tho exchange heard, her, and reported a fire, but when the rescuers arrived she was dead.
