Toad Hidden 20 Years in q Slab
Goes-Ho Hum!-Buck to Sleep

Airless Joe belongs to the genus
bufo, leaping type Of amphibian
that burrows in the earth at day
and prowls at night.
Scientists disagree whether a frog
could live in stone for any length of
time. Most argued that the toad
would die.
Owners of Old Rip and Airless
Joe's new friends argue these two
freaks did not "croak" for lack Of
food, water or air.
1t is known toads do hibernate
and often share the winter quarters
Of a prairie dog or a few snakes, all
Of which sleep through the cold
months.
Old Rip, pulled from a courthouse
stone in 1928, died in receivership
after several claimants laid hands
on him.
Airless Joe? He's sound asleep be-
hind the newspaper office.

(Earlier Story on Page A-1sS
By the Associated Press
CHICAGO, Jan. 16.-Kenesaw
Mountain Lands, commissioner of
baseball, in a new ruling today,
warned that in every instance of
secret player transfer each club con-
cerned would be fined $500 and each
club official or employe participating
would be placed on the ineligible
list.
Commissioner Lands also ruled
that players must not be signed to
blank contracts in the future and
that true copy of the contract
must be given the player Also, that
players cannot be signed for other
clubs, directly or indirectly, whether
| owned, affiliated or independent.
Execution by Clubs.
The commissioner declared that
working agreements" must be exc
cuted by the club actually making
them and cannot be executed in the
names CT affiliated or subsidiary
! clubs.
In every case of certificate Of
club. relationships, affiliations and
connections hereafter filed" Com
missioner Lands further ruled,
which is found to miSrepresent or
untruthfully report any material
fact, the club will be fined $1,000
and the official executing such cer-
| tlflcate will be placed on the in.
| eligible list"
The commissioner cited the fol.
lowing as examples of illegal meth.
ods Of conducting working agree.
ment relationships:
l. The major league club signs
players to blank contracts in which
is later inserted the name of the
club to which the major league club
secretly transfers the player, or
sometimes the name of the last Of
a series of clubs to which the player
is successfully sent.
Player Often Misled.
2. The major league club signs
players direct to contracts with the
lower clubs, the player often being
misled into the belief that he is
signing with the major club and
always being led to understand that
the contract connects him with the
major club.
3. Tryout or training camps are
held by the major club, occasionally
! in its own name, but generally in
the name of an owned or affiliated
club. Here players far in excess of
the major clubs requirements are
sent or received and those thought
to have possibilities are distributed
among the owned or affiliated clubs.
| 4. After being signed, players are
transferred by fake notices of un-
conditional release. In many in
stances the notice is not given the
player, but the club directs or sug-
geSts that he join the subsidiary
club, whereupon an alleged copy of
the release notice is officially filed.
with the player in total ignorance of
its pretended delivery to him. In
other cases the notice is not given
the player until he signs with the sub
sidiary club. In still other cases the
player is given the notice and told he
can sign with the other club.

CROWELL, Tex, Jan. 16.-Ho
hum! -Airless Joe, a good-for-
nothing old toad that slept, 20 years

Airless Joe is not interested in any,

modities and places to which its
regulations shall apply. Congress
may consider and weigh relative
situations and needs. And the power
of choice and localized action which
is proper under the commerce clause
is obviously even more appropriate
when it acts also under the District
of Columbia clause in the exercise
of its power of exclusive legisla-
ton
Congress had power, therefore,
to impose the burden of taxation
complained of in the present case,
by virtue of these constitutional pro-
visions"
Several other cases involving the
tax were disposed of at the same
time in brief opinions which re-
ferred to the decision in the Nield

McNutt Suggests
Government Clear
Business News
Could Detect Most
Promising Areas for
Expansion, He Says
BY the Associated Press.

BOSTON, Jan. ia suggestion
that the Federal Government could
aid business by serving "as clear
ing house" for business information
and by detecting the most promis-
ing areas for investment and ex-
pansion' was advanced today by
Federal Security Administrator Paul
v. McNutt.
A candidate for the Democratic
presidential nomination-if Presi-
dent Roosevelt does not seek third
term-Mr. McNutt asserted there
was no basic" reason why Gov
ernment and business could not 60
along hand in hand.
He maintained that when a
spirit of mutual confidence and SYM
pathetic cooperation" becomes a
permanent characteristic of the re-
lations between Government and
business, "the technical details of
balancing our economy will present
no insuperable obstacles"
In an address before the Boston
Chamber of Commerce, Mr.. McNutt
asserted that "a lop-sided budget
during the past few years has been
inevitable. It will not be necessary
for long. Indeed, were it not for the
extraordinary demands made for
our national defense in a world
crisis, it would probably be unneces-
sary now"
Earlier. the former Indiana Gov
ernor said at a press conference
that one of the Nations biggest jobs
was either to find or make jobs for
young people and middle-aged "un-
employed employables
He suggested. as one possibility for
youth, IAN expansion of vocational
training" At the same time, he
asserted, many employers were max
ing mistake in discriminating
against the man over 40 years of
age.
I'VE must" he said, "get them
employment through private indus
try or make employment for them. "

merely because it was irrelevant,
would clutter up the record and set
bad precedent. He later admitted
it on the insistence of Chief Trial
Examiner George o. Pratt, who said
he had conferred with members of
the board and that they did not
want to be in the position of ruling
out charges against themselves or
their employees.
During the St. Louis hearings, in
the spring of 1888, Mr.. Dudley wrote
the chief trial examiner, exhibits
revealed, expressing fear that if the
company attorneys were permitted
to go into the alleged attitude of
the st. Louis board office toward
the G. I. O., they might ask Miss
Dorothea de Schweinitz, acting re-
gional director, and Grant Cannon,
field examiner, their attitude to-
ward "the c. I. O., Communism,
etc."
Mr.. Dudley wrote that it would
be difficult for Miss de Schweinitz
ito withstand the hammerings of
Mr.. Bartlett (of Ford counseD, par
ticularly If you make it impossible
for me to protect her by ruling this
to be admissible" The trial exam
liner added: THE result will be
that the newspapers will scream
with headlines and publicity regard
ing the charges of the Ford Co.
against Cannon, Miss de Schweinitz
and the board. Such charges in
themselves make good publicity"
Later, when the trial examiner
reversed his ruling, four workers
at the Ford plant testified that
they called on MIR. Cannon, ex-
pressing interest in an independent
union, but were told to stick with
the c. I. O., since it was Gods
greatest gift to working men," They
also quoted the field examiner as
saying the board did not favor in
dependent unions, but was with the
