Posts Have Been Offered;
Some Settled

Washington, Feb. l.-(P)-The lat
est pre-view Of the ever-changins
Roosevelt cabinet picture. as seen by
some Democrats in Washington who
ordinarily are well informed indicates
that nearly all Of the cabinet posts in
the new administration have been Of
fered, and several definitely settled.
This information presents the sit
uation as follows:
State-Senator Cordell Hull OF
Tennessee, II he wants It; otherwise.
Owen D. Young Of New York II he
wants 1t.
Treasury-Senator Carter Glass OF
Virginia, who has not yet accepted
but generally Is expected to.

Dern Of Utah.
Justice-senator Thomas J. Walsh

Navy-still open. Senator Claude
Swanson Of Virginia favored In case
Senator Glass refuses treasury.
Interior-Senator Bronson Cutting

among the possibilities.
Agriculture - Probably Henry A.
Wallace of Iowa.
Commerce-Uncertain. William H.
Woodin Of New York preferred, but
probably won't accept.
Labor-Miss Francis Perkins OF
New York.
However reliable this slate may be
az to the present intentions of the

BUSINESS PICKS Up
During LAST WEEK
Developments Constructive Des-
pite Irregularities, Says
Dun Company

Trade developments last week were
constructive largely, despite the fact
Irregularities continued to character
lie the general business situation, &C
cording to the r. q. Dun and COM
pany.
Unsettled governmental policies un-
coubtedly are q retardative influence,
and the diiatory tactics of congress
are hating solution Of prob
lens whose settlement unquestionably
would contribute materially to prog
ress, the Dun report says.
While trade movements remain
conservative, encouragement has been
provided by the better sales totals
recorded at some Of the chief centers
Of distribution, and the reopening In
increasing numbers Of small manu-
featuring companies in various parts
Of the country, with reports Of recess
sion in activity becoming fewer each
week.
The hesitation caused by the dis
order In world trade and the dis
turbance in currency relationships
have tended to obscure the more IA
vorable earnings reports emanating
from many industries for the final
half Of last year. and the greater
stability provided by the growing pro-
portion Of the smaller and medium
sized business concerns that have dis
played their ability to align opera
tons sufficiently adroitly to show
profit, despite existing conditions.
A good, steady volume Of consumer
purchases featured q somewhat
auieter week at retail, in which con-
tinued mild weather hampered the
closing out Of unsold women's ap-
parel lines. with few exceptions,

dividedly to clearance sales. now
reaching their conclusion. with re-
suits showing that many persons have
surplus funds and are on the lookout
Tor bargains In clothing, shoes, un-
derwear, and household appliances,
including labor-savtng devices, when
real values are offered.
Retail customers apparently are
less concerned than formerly about
prices, being more interested In the

less OF the price-tag It may bear.

BY Russell J. cowans

John Tenny Blount is coming
back into the national pastime!
M The former owner of the De-
Efoit Stars, who stalked out of
baseball in 1924 after a disagree
rnent with the late Andrew 'Rube'
FOSTER, then pre- dent Of the Ne
tro National League, decided TO
re-entcr the national pastime fol
3ow,ng an all-night conference
40 the Russell House Monday
night with Gus Greenele, presi-
dent Of the National Negro AS
sociation, Cum Posey, owner of
fhe Homestead Grays, and John
Roesink, owner of the HAM
tramck stadium.
The urge to hear the roar of
the crowds, coupled with the per-
sistency of Greenlee and Posey,
caused the man who gave Detroit
its first baseball team back in
1919, TO capitulate and cast his
lot with the other owners in the
newly formed league.
Surprise To Moguls
The announcement by Blount
that he would place q team in the
League came rs a surprise to the
three men sitting in the confer
ence. Since early afternoon Posey
and Greenlee had been trying to
convinced the former owner that
he could save the situation in De-
troit. He made his announcement
at two O'Clock Tuesday morning.
Blount, after a conference with
the men Monday afternoon, left
and came back later in the eve
ming. In the meantime he had held
consultation with his partner,
james Nelson. When he returned
TO the Russell House he declared
that he could not afford TO make
the sacrifice from his business to
operate a team.
Greenlee, after Blount's re-
fusal to sponsor team, tele-
pihoned TO DeMoss in Chicago and
was Informed that John Big Six
Smith, former Chicago detective
was willing to finance the team in
Detroit and that he had told De-
Moss to go ahead with arrange
ments for gathering the players
A short time later Blount stat
cd that he would be willing to
make the sacrifice in order to save
baseball for Detroit.
"In making this sacrifice for
baseball, l intend to give the De.
troit fans the same kind of a
team | had. when / left the game
in 1924" the former magnate
said.
Seeks Satchel Paige
There is a ibility that
Smith and Blount might form q
partnership in the operation OF
the Detroit team. The two men
are friends of long standing.
