CASE PUZZLES OFFICIALS.
Justice Department Unlikely to Act
i'm Present Status.
BY DAVID LAWRENCE.

Federal officials are interested, but
nevertheless puzzled as to what they
can do about the latest scandal in
base ball which Ty Cobb and Iris
Speaker are reported to be anxious to
lay before the Department of Justice.
If one individual is damaged by an
other. his redress Is to be found In the
courts. Assuming that Dutch"
Leonard, the former Detroit pitcher,
refused to come East from his Cali
fornia home to submit to cross-ex-
animation, the Department Of Justice
cannot do anything about it unless
some proceedings are brought requir-
ing him to testify.
The Post Office Department is nat
urally interested in how the mails are
used, but unless the communications
show a deliberate threat of exposure
or some other form of coercion, the
chances of Federal inquiry into that
phase can be crossed off as not likely
to materialize.
Like ANY Other Business.
Base ball as business is, like any
other operation, subject to scrutiny by
the Federal Trade Commission to de-
termine whether an unfair practice
exists. Firms, as a rule, have recourse
to this commission, and though the
first reports stated that Cobb and
Speaker were coming to Washington
to ask the advice of the Interstate
Commerce Commission, the likelihood
is that this was confused with the
Federal Trade Commission.
If Cobb were Incorporated as a busi-
ness institution and some one did
something to injure his business, he
could appeal to the Federal Trade
Commission, which would then In
vestigate, and if it decided that there
was basis for complaint. the same

NEW YORK, December 27.-Rev.
John Nevin Sayre, Episcopalian, min
lister and brother-in-law Of Mrs. Jes-
sic Woodrow Wilson Sayre. has writ
ten to Secretary of War Davis COM
planning that Army officers are
harassing opponents Of compulsory
military training in colleges. and
Of free speech.
Mr.. Sayre specifically charges Lieut..
Col George Chase Lewis of the Reg
ular Army and of the 95th Reserve
Division objected to his addressing
students of the University of Okla
homa, at Norman, and that. perhaps
in consequence, students who were
opposed to the compulsory military
training there and who attempted to
arrange a meeting for him to address
them were unable to obtain the use
of the university Y. NJ c. A. hall.
Cites Lewis Letter.
Mr. Sayre, who is a member of
the Civil Liberties Union and vice
chairman of the committee on mill
tarism in education, declares that
Lieut.. Col. Lewis wrote lelleT LTOIIl
Oklahoma City to the president Of
the university stating his objections
to Mr.. Sayre, and calling him more
dangerous than ar open communist y
The officer called attention to the
fact that Mr.. Sayre had signed an ap
peal for a 100000 fund for the de-
fense of Soviet organizers in Bridge
man, Mich.
Mr. Sayre declares in his letter to
the Secretary of War that he is not
and never has been a communist, and
that he signed the letter because of his
belief that any man accused of vio-
lating law is entitled to a fair trial.
II should like to know" says the
letter, whether you consider it
proper function of an Army officer to
attempt to shut off free speech for
peace in universities, for Y. M. G. AS
and even churches?

The new feature of this equipment is

This equipment has been so designed
as 10 overcome to large extent a
type of radio distortion which has
been experienced in the reception of
programs from broadcasting stations
This distortion results in an effect on
the received signal similar TO that due
to tube overlooking AT times and in
certain localities this effect becomes so
serious that reception IS unintelligible
and music is reduced to series Of
harsh notes.
This type of distortion is brought
about BY some phenomenon which oc-
curs during transmission and has here
toforc been considered an inherent and
unavoidable defect. This phenomenon
VAS made the subject OF an investiga-
ton BY the Bell Telephone Labora-
tories In cooperation with the A. T.
