LET L be a connected two-dimensional CW complex, f Let K denote the complex L U {e?}, where {e\}, i= 1, 2,..., is a set of 2-cells adjoined to the 1-section of L in the usual way. JI shall be concerned in this note with the problem: if L is non-aspherical,^ can K be aspherical? Since it is a simple matter to prove that the adjunction of 0-cells and 1-cells to the appropriate sections of a two-dimensional non-aspherical complex cannot make it aspherical, a solution of this problem would answer the question: is a subcomplex of an aspherical two-dimensional complex itself aspherical? A partial solution of the problem is given by the following two theorems which will be proved below.THEOREM 1. If L is a finite connected non-aspherical two-dimensional complex, and if TTX {L) is either (i) an Abelian group, or (ii) a finite group, or (iii) a free group, then the complex L U {e?} is also non-aspherical, where {e?}, t= 1, 2,..., is a set of 2-cells adjoined to the l-section of L.
