legged attempts to corrupt the iuries
in the Warning trial, Mr.. Murphy
said, 1T is disgrace to have some
thing like this happen here in the
Capital and the full force of the
Justice Department Is behind clean
ing it up"
The proposed personnel standards
for deputy marshals will affect the
present personnel throughout the
country as we'll as those who may be
appointed later, Mr.. Murphy said.
He said he did not contemplate any
upheaval of any sort but that
there probably would be "some re-
adjustments.
In connection with his efforts to
tighten up on personnel standards
throughout the department, the At
torney General said he plans soon to
appoint as personnel director a man
whom he considered the best pre-
pared for the job Of any one he
could ind. He described this man
as wholly non-partisan and ex-
tremely well trained in personnel
administration. Mr.. Murphy said
he probably would be appointed in
the next two weeks.
The personnel director, Mr..
Murphy explained. will supervise
his plans for maintaining minimum
requirements throughout the JUS
tice Department, making salary re-
adjustments and all that sort of
thing that elevates the standards Of
administration"
In commenting on the implica-
tions of the Manton case in New
York, Mr.. Murphy said he was con-
sidering the possibility of working
out some method of minimizing prl-
vate enterprise and business in
terests in the lives of Federal judges.
He said he had in mind either rules
or legislation that would give full
publicity at all times to any involve

SHANGHAI Feb. ,16.-Japanese
authorities served, notice today that
they intended to land troops at
Haimen, 200 miles down the coast
from Shanghai, late tomorrow in q
new move to tighten the China coast
blockade. They warned all foreign
shipping to stand clear Of 30-mile

transport the supplies BY motor road
to Kinhwa, 100 miles west Of Hal
men, and by rail from there to
Nanchang.
The occupation of Haimen also
would halt traffic on the Lin River
and threaten hitherto untouched
territory in East Chekiang Province,
including the towns of Lukiao,
Hwangyen, Linhai and Wenling.
There are about a dozen foreign
missionaries in the area, mostly
British.
Five Ports Unoccupied.
In addition to blockading the en-
tire China coast, the japanese al
ready have occupied all ports north
of Shanghai except Haichow, which
Is useless. South of Shanghai, they
have occupied Canton, Annoy, Hang
chow and Hollow, leaving only
Wenchow, Ningpo, Foochow, Swatow
and Pakhoi. Pakhoi is now threat
ened by Japanese operations on
Hainan Island, to the south.
Despite the blockade, Chinese
junks have been able to bring in
some supplies through the unoccu-
pied ports, but the Japanese are
steadily tightening down, forcing
Generalissimo Chang Kai-Shek to
depend mainly on overland routes
from Soviet Russia, French Indo-
Chan and Burma.
Meanwhile, Americans at Hollow
and Kungchow, on Hainan Island,
were reported safe. A radio mes
sage, the first communication from
foreigners within the area invaded
by the Japanese Friday, however,
left the fate of IS other Americans
at Kachek and Nodoa' undisclosed.

BUDAPEST, Feb. 16.-Count Paul
Teleki. after "a hours Of pressure
from Regent Admiral Nicholas
Horthy, accepted a mandate to form
a new government today.
AS the 60-year-old count, Boy
Scout leader and minister of educa-
ton in the last cabinet walked this
afternoon to the royal palace for
his fifth audience with the Regent in
"a hours, he indicated he intended
to invite most of the members of
the last ministry to join the new
one.
Anti-Semitic Bella Imredi resigned
yesterday. acknowledging that he
himself was of part Jewish ancestry
Admiral Horthy was stated to have
persuaded the count it was his pa
triotic duty to attempt to reconcile
the factions which have been tying
up legislative work by fighting over
the Imredi program.
Wanted to Curtail Rights.
1mredi advocated curtailment of
political rights of Jews, wanted to
bar them from some work and limit
their participation in other fields of
employment.
His foreign minister negotiated
Hungarian participation in the anti
comintern pact fostered by Italy,
Germany and Japan, and despite
the present political dispute, quar-
ters close to the regent-who is the
ruling head of state-said no change
in this foreign policy was likely.
Reports from the palace were that
Admiral Horthy was emphasizing
the need Of . strong economic pro-

Hurried Mats Yeurn for Home
After Tour Offering Scont
Promise of Better Days

before, in 1885, when everybody but
the correspondents travelling with
the club were stricken with every
thing from gout to ptomaine poison
ing, has Washington been so con-
sistently hampered by injuries.
The most serious among the
flelders was Buddy Lewis knee,
damaged in New York, and among
the pitchers it was Harry Kelley's
arm which necessitated treatment
at Hot Springs. At one time or
another most of the men have felt
the pinch of a strained muscle and
the pitching staff has been all but
erased.
New Talent Might Pay.
1t is not hard to guess what will
happen when Harris and Griffith
put their heads together after the
clubs return. for Bucky plainly is
dissatisfied with the club as it now
stands and Mr.. G. isn't aloof to
suggestions for rebuilding. If few
new faces will spin the turnstiles
little faster, Griff will get them.
and, as has been written before,
neither he nor Harris has any
illusions about where the Mats will
finish this season.
They feel confident it will take
a major miracle to oust the Yankees
from the lead and they aren't
interested in anything short of a
pennant-or that's their story.
The Mats had sorry time of it
yesterday as AL Milnar limited them
to seven hits, the Tribe winning So.
Giuliani's single and Welaj's double
in the eighth and in the ninth Esta-
lella's triple, followed by Travis in
field out accounted for the WASH
ington runs.
The Mats had other scoring oppor-
tunities, particularly early in the
game when Milnar was a trifle
wobbly. but poor base-running
erased potential runs.
Joe Haynes. Washington rookie,
ran into a mess of trouble in the
fourth when the Indians sent four
runs Gathering over the plate, but
pitched a good game around that
one bad frame. He allowed only
three hits between the fourth and
eighth when he retired in favor of
Pinch-hitter Charley Colbert, but
his teammates dizzy hooflng on the
pathways made Cleveland's margin
safe.

BOSTON. July 22.-Dont mutter
to Casey Stengel about hard luck
in baseball, because there's a man
who knows that if all World Series
games were played behind the eight
ball the Boston Bees would be right
in the money.
The venerable, voluble and vigor-
GUS Mr. Stengel. the boss of the
Bees, doesn't feel a bit sorry for the
suffering Giants or any other team
troubled with injuries, because his
worrier is running full blast just
turning out woe for himself.
For a while, early in the season,
the Bees led the National League
and there was great joy in Mr..
Stengel's heart and in the spirits of
the ever-so-patient Bee fans. They
soon slipped to second, but by some
amazingly good playing-largely
around second base-there they
stayed
Bartell Starts Trouble.
Then the tragedy started. Dick
Bartell of the Cubs rode Tony Cue
cinello. the Bostons' ace second
baseman, out of a double play and
right out of the game for many
woeful weeks. A sad road trip fol-
lowed and the Bees plummeted
from second to seventh place, where
they stuck.
To add to the misery, Ival Good
man of the Reds banged a line
drive right into Pitcher Jim Turn
er's nose, knocking him out for a
few weeks, and Lou Fette's arm
acted up in a bad way to multiply
the woes. But then the players
came out of the hospital and that
toothsome grin of Mr.. Stengels be-
gan to light up the hotel lobbies, for
he could field whole team.
The Bees banged the ball f1ercely
and no less an authority than Willie
McKechnie, boss of the Reds, de-
clared the Bees were playing better
ball than anybody in the league. AS
II to prove it, the Bees topped off a
winning splurge with double
header triumph over Willie's league
Double Dose of Hard Luck.
But in the second game that day,
Old Man Gloom stalked again. Ed
die Miller, the crackerjack rookie
shortstop who has been branded in
the home of the bean and the cod
as the best in upstate baseball,
crashed into AL Simmons while
chasing fly.
Eddie, who helped the Bees lead
the majors in double plays, got a
broken leg, while Simmons. who had
just got into his hitting stride. got
a bump which will keep him out of
several games Third Baseman
Heinie Majeska, whose ailing foot
kept him on the bench for weeks
early in the season, had to be taken
out of the lineup intermittently
again because of that same bum
pedal.
Casey had to recall 18-year-
Sebastian Sisti from Hartford to
plug up an infield gap and although
the Bees have just won two out of
three from the Cubs. Casey-and
those are tears glistening on his
cheeks-just points to the standings.
The Bees still are in seventh place.

SAN FRANCISCO, July 22.-Dom-
inic. youngest of the baseball playing
Di Maggios. may become the prop
erty of the New York Giants any
time now. but picture this seemingly
strange situation:
The club, most important link in
the National League chain and ac-
customed to having prospective SELL
ers fail over themselves trying tC
make deal, can't get price set on
the youthful San Francisco out
fielding star.
The case is elementary. Charles
Graham, president of the Pacific
Coast Seals. is withholding the sale
price on his best prospect.
Groh is Convinced.
Heine Groh. Giants scout. has
been on the ground for a week and
plans to stay that much longer, He
must have spots before his eyes by
this time. he's been focusing them
on Dominic so frequently.
Groh was the first big league
scout to recommend Di Maggio's S
purchase last year. On instructions
from his club, he's back for another
"looksee." Apparently he's already
seen enough to convince himself he
was right year ago. Without beat
ing about the bush he asked Graham
to put price on the be-spectacled
brother of Yankee Joe Di Maggie.
AS soon as the Seals president
decides on a figure, which undoubt-
edly will call for delivery of players
in addition to cash, the deal may be
put through.
Would Be Natural Magnet.
At least six other National and
American League clubs are inter-
ested in the feet-footed little Ital-
ian lad who's hitting around the

says Dominic will be in the big
leagues, definitely, next year.
He doesn't care which club gets
him. Money talks. Privately, how
ever, he thinks Dominic would be
gilt-edged investment for the
Giants.
Dominic would be a riot in center

dicted. ''It is huge field, made to
