PETITION WITHOUT
 LEGAL MERIT
Decision of the Commits siOner in Case of Frank
 Mislinski
OF PEQUABUCK

Commissioner Frederic NJ. Will Hams finds the claim for compensa- ton of Frank Mislinski of Pequa- buck against the Andrew Terry company of Terryville is without legal merit and dismisses 1t in a finding handed down in the com pensation court today. Commis- sloner Williams finds the claimant to have a neurosis but states It is not the result of any injury arising from the course of his employ ment. He adds that 1t developed after the claimant was unable to secure work because of industrial conditions.
 The commissioner states 1t is fair illustration of the conditions frequently confronting himself. The claimant comes into court un- represented by counsel, without money and with an imperfect knowledge of the English language to tell pathetic story. It is a sac- red obligation, Commissioner Will Hams states. 10 look after workmen of this type and see that their legal rights ire protected, but that it is just as sacred to see that neither the employer or insurer is unjustly obligated to pay out money that neither the law nor the facts indi- cate that they should.

Millions of Dollars of Scrip
 Ready to Be Used When Clearing House Nipped
 Scheme

 The association said the fake certificates appeared yesterday, while the association was printing the first $5,000,0O0 in genuine pa per. The counterfeiting apparently has been done by experts as bank executives themselves had difficult ty in differentiating between the real and the bogus.

 London, March 13- (UP)- Compile foreign confidence in the stability of the dollar was striking ly manifested today when official trading was resumed here and in Paris.
 The dollar was quoted here at $3.43h to the pound sterling. On March 3, the last day before trad- ing was suspended. the quotation was $3.45k, so that the dollar acc tually gained two cents in relation to the pound.
 Tn Paris, the quotation was 25.4O francs, compared with a quotation of 25.32h on March B.. although some transactions were made at a high Of 25.60, showing, a strengthening of the dollar simi- Tor to London.
 Spectators who had sold the dollar short were driven widely to cover. Many took large losses.
 They had not counted on the de- termination of the British and French governments to bolster the dollar and prevent too great an ap-' preciation of their own currencies.
 Britain especially does not want the pound to rise to anything like it's old par level of $4.86. Because the cheaper pound gives Britain an advantage against the undepreciat- ed dollar in world trade.
 Consequently, banks operating for the British exchange equaliza- tion fund Ca nest egg set aside by the government for just this pur- pose) entered the market sand set the pace by offering to buy dollars at $3.44 when trading was resum- ed.
 Many private bets recently had been placed. the bulls agreeing to pay the, bears certain number of pounds sterling for every point above $3.5O at which the dollar opened, and the bears agreeing tc pay similarly for every point below $3.50. The latter had guessed wrong by six cents.
 Branches of United States banks in London did a rushing business. beginning at 2.30 D. n., when deal- ings were resumed. American residents in Britain sold dollars to balances for living purposes. Busi- balances off living purposes Busi-' ness men bought dollars to meet their committements in the United States. 4Gs3 gft8.
 Confidence in American business stability was also reflected on the stock exchange, where American issues firm and, in several instances up. The general tone of the mar- ket was quiet and dull, showing almost no reaction to the firmness of the dollar.
 An American banker in Paris told the United Press he estimated conservatively that short sellers in Europe lost $1O,0O0,O00. Bourse officials said many specuiators who had operated against the dollar were now in a most difficult position and were forced to buy in antici- patton of further rise.

Debate PLar, OF
Paying Players

PALO ALTO, Jan. 10. (U.P)-The
proposal of Bill Corbus, Stanfords
All-American guard and president
of the student body, to pay college
athletes regular salaries was gen.
orally regarded with disfavor on
the Stanford campus today.
ct think his plan will come into
use some day, but it is little pre-
mature now," said Tiny Thornhill,
newly appointed football coach.
Corbus has urged that all schools
offer athletes tuition and board in
exchange for their services, there
by placing all schools on an equal
footing in obtaining athletes.
Dink Templeton, Stanford track
coach, foresaw evils in the plan.
"If school once start paying OPP
emily, they'll have to pay plenty"
he said. Colleges already turn
out many athletes who can hardly
read or write. If this system was
introduced, the number would be
even larger"
