turned over to the attorney gen.
eral staff investigation of state
pay checks drawn in the name
of Samuel Bulls, of Battle
Creek, who was described as de-
claring he did not receive the
money.
Philip j. Neudeck, secretary
of the commission, said Bulls
did not perform the work for
which the pay checks were
drawn, and that Bulls reported
he received none of the checks,
IF his name was not legally
on the payroll, the state should
be entitled to recover the mon
ey," Neudeck declared.
Auditor General Vernon J.
Brown said his staff has estab-
lished that the checks were
cashed at a Battle Creek bank
by q man who used Bulls sig
nature. He asserted Bulls was
legally on the liquor commits
sion payroll.

Neutrality.
Act Repeal
is Sought
WASHINGTON, July 1s-tP

WASHINGTON, July l5-(R)
Senator Glass (D.-Va.) called
today for immediate repeal of
the Neutrality act, to reestab-
lish freedom of the seas for
American shipping and show
Hitler that 1--WE are not afraid"
of him.
The act bars American mer-
chant ships from combat zones
fixed by the President and
Glass, in his first interview
since his recent election as
President pro tempore of the
Senate. said 1--WE ought to wipe
that thing off the statute books
and throw it in the rottenest
wastebasket in the country"
ut never should have been
passed at ALL" the 83-year-old
Virginian asserted. ut gave up
the freedom of the seas, for
which we had been fighting
since the beginning of the ma
ton.
ut was passed because a lot
of people were afraid of Hitler.
We should tell him now that we
are not afraid"
Repeal of the act would clear
the way for ships under the
American flag to carry goods
into British ports. and while he
did not couple the two ideas
directly the veteran Senator de-
clared that the United States
should take any steps neces-
sary to see that our war materi-
ais are delivered to Great Bril-
tain"
IT think we are In war al
ready" he said. eve have done
a lot of things that might give
Germany an excuse for declar-
ing war against us. I thing we
should continue our present
course and should do everything
possible to get the goods across.
There will be a declaration OF
war;"
Glass, who has opposed many
administration domestic pro-
grams but has supported Presi-
dent Roosevelt's foreign policy
vigorously. declared that "if the
Germans make the challenge
(of wary then we ought to meet
it."
"We can't just sit here and
let Hitler say who Is to sail
the seas-who is to come and
who is to CO." he added.

iBy Associated Press,

NEW YORK, June 3.-Organ-
lied baseball and the nations

last night of Lou Gehrig, Iron
Horse of the New. York Yankees

Gehrig, stricken by a rare form
of paralysis during the playing
season of 1889. died at his Bronx
home last night after being in a
critical condition FOR three weeks.
He would have been 38 on June

The former Columbia Univer-
sity slugger asked and received
his release from the Yankees in
1889 after running up the amaz-
ing record of 2,130 consecutive
games in the years between 1925
and 1899.
For months prior to the dag
nosis, which for the first time
informed the world of his dis
ease, Gehrig had been in what
was considered prolonged bat
ting slump One of the heaviest
hitters of all time, the big first
baseman was bewildered by his
inability to connect with the ball
but continued to field his posi-
tion effectively and looked the
picture Of health.
On the suggestion that his
continuous play might have tired
him, he broke his consecutive
string and returned to the lineup
after rest, but still was unable
To hit.
Doctors informed Gelrig the
disease which affected his spinal
cord would prevent his partici-
patton In baseball. but IL was
understood he would not be phys
ically incapacitated.
In the wear after his retirement,
New York Mayor Fiorello La
Guardia placed him in charge of
the city organization for forma-
tion of bows athletic clubs. and
Gehrig pronounced himself in
good physical shape.
