cluded by Ickes in his list Of New Deal
conservation activities.
Six out of seven Of the Interior
Departments chief bureaus are con-
cerned with conservation, he said,
adding that conservation can only
be established on q sound and per-
manent basis by adopting it as q ma
tional policy and concentrating the
administrative responsibility In single
agency"
Explaining his insistence on the
change in name, Ickes said "the mere
designation Of a department Of con-
servation as is proposed in the pend
ing bill - would advance materially
a cause in which every citizen should
be interested"
The statement also supported the
private contentious of A. A. A. officials
that passage of the Lewis bill would be
an opening wedge in a drive to give
IckeS all the conservation bureaus Of
the Agricultural Department. This
drive, 1t was argued, might eventually
bring about transfer of the A. A. A,
to the Interior Department.
Secretary Wallace wassreported to
have collected large file Of data
to back his view that control Of all
organic natural resources should be
vested in his department, while Ickes
should have mineral natural resources.
"It Is unnecessary to remind mem
bers Of Congress-" the farm groups
said, "of the fact that many years ago,
after q record and tradition Of ex-
ploitation had been established in the
Department of Interior, the Forest
Service was transferred to the De-
partment of Agriculture on the tide
of strong popular sentiment. ."
ut must be remembered that tradi-
tionally the Department of the Inte-

Even Mr.. NewSom Flops.

A FIELD the play at times has
- bordered on the sandlotter- -ish.
Crushed by the Indians in three
straight games, the Griffs wound up
a two-game stand against the White
Sox yesterday sluggish and heavy
footed. Almost overnight they have
developed wholesale cases of scatter
arms" and jitters.
On the slab the condition Is not
much better now. Only Pete Appleton
came close to pitching winning game
during the losing streak. Buck New
som, who has been charged with two
Of the streak defeats, has been an.
out-and-out flop. First, the Indians
teed of on his offerings and yesterday
the White Sox drove him to cover in
less than six innings. Buck doesn't
remotely resemble the pitcher who
compiled such a brilliant record down
South this Spring and who shut out
the Yanks, to 0, in the opening game.
Jimmy De Shong was charged with
his first defeat, after Appleton had
bowed previously to sustain his initial
loss, and Ed Ls1ke looked pretty weak
when he attempted to stem the tide.
The relief corps, with the exception
of Monte Weaver, has given of an

Lewis. Kress ONLY Stars.

CONSECUTIVE defeat No 5 was
pretty much the same old story,
only yesterday the Nationals actually
threatened to win at one time. New
som, who has been complaining long
and loudly about not getting any
runs, was handed a 4-to-1 lead in the
fourth inning and he couldn't hold
it 10 minutes. The White Sox tied
it up In their half of the fifth and
from them it was case Ct pitch
and-duck for the Washington throwers.
Newsom's life probably was saved
in the sixth frame when Harris waved
him of the premises and sent in
Henry Coppola. He wasn't any better,
so the Sox made six runs to clinch
the game.
The only bright spots Of the whole
day were supplied by Buddy Lewis
and Red Kress, who made his debut
at second base in place Of the sick
Buddy Myer. Lewis raped out three
straight singles and Kress whacked
two singles and a home run. Between
them they made six of the Griffs 10

When he was called to President
Clark Grifith's Office a year ago this
month and handed his release, Weaver
struggled with the impulse to quit
base ball. Pitching for Albany meant
instead of Pullmans, high-class ho-

A Guy With q Ticker.

RASE ball has thrown enough dis
appointment at Red Kress to par
don him from chucking it all, but
Red isn't built that way. In the mid
die of last season he was released"
to Chattanooga and returned to his
Washington uniform before he got out
of town because Buddy Myer had
been suspended. He made four hits
in four times at bat that day when
everything depended on sparkling
performance.
The following day he was hand
ed the shortstop job and he played
a remarkable game, afield and at
bat, for the rest Of the season.
Kress must have gone home to his
native California last Fall full of hope
for 1886. There had been talk of con-
verting Cecil Travis into a shortstop,
but doubt was expressed as to whether
Travis could make the grade. Then
came February-and Spring training.
Kress reported to Orlando and discov-
cred that even before he (Red) was
called upon to swing bat the job
had been given to Travis. Because he
didn't "fit" in the accent-on-youth
program, Kress had no chance to de-
fend his right to the job.
Yesterday Kress struck a parallel to
his 1885 comeback" Unused to date,
he was called from the bench to sub
for Myer again. Along the right-field
line, sitting in box, was baby girl
yelling, "Hit one, daddy" He hit three
two singles and home run into the
left-field bleachers.
Now Bucky is reluctant to take
Red Kress out Of the lineup until
he sees more Of another guy with

Little One Crushed Under Lumber; Father Alleged
 Negligence in Action


 A jury in common pleas court late yesterday afternoon returned a ver- dict awarding damages of $3,500 to the estate of Dorothy Paula Wolfe, 2, in negligence suit against Philip Rehbein, Cheshire contractor. Dr. Emmons R. Wolfe, father of the tot, brought the suit as administrator of her estate. Trial of the action began last week before Judge Miles McNin and a jury.
 The girl was fatally injured Oct. 21, 1885, when she was crushed by timbers from a pile of wood. Reh- bein had been building a house and had piled lumber in the rear of his property, adjoining that of the Wolfes. The lumber had been pack ed securely, but on the day of the accident 1t was being moved and 1t was charged that several blanks were loose. The girl was crushed as she tried to recover a top under the lumber.
 The jury was out for two hours before it returned with its verdict.
 Attorney Michael V. Blansfield and Harry Albert appeared for the plain tiff, Attorney William J. Larkin for the defendant.

Together with Jack and announcer Don Wilson, they formed one of the most successful laugh-getting quartets in the history of the series.
 Both Parker and Bestor, while well-known performers before com- ing under Benny's wing, emerged as top- flight stars in their own rights during the course of their ser vice with the NEG funSter. Both left the Sunday night show at the end of the 1895 Spring series, when 1t became evident that motion pie ture work would require Benny's presence in Hollywood for the rest of the year.
