A||-Stdrs Fall
To Packers
BY EDGAR HAYES

CHICAGO, Aug. 3l-Ihomas
Dudley Harmon of Gary, Ann Ar
bor and the army air corps. still
is a pretty fair football player. A
crowd of 92,753 fans. who paic
S221 $50 to see the Green Bay
Packers trim the Collegiate All
Stars, 1877, will agree to that.
Harmon played less than five
minutes at Soldier Field last night
but showed the same classy run
ming that made him the mos'
feared offensive player in the
country during 1938-39-40.
Four times he ran with the
ball. He ran back kickoff from
behind his own goal line to the
81. Then he picked up ii yards
and a first down on two rushing
plays.
Later In the game he was away
on his favorite sweep OF right
end for AZ yards. only 10 tumble
and lose the ball. His romp oI
AZ yards set a ne'Y record for the
Collegians from scrimmage in the
All-Star contest. The old mark ol
33 yards was made by Pat Harder
of Wisconsin in 1943.
Harmon punted once for 4;
yards.
AIDS IN SCORE
The only score made by tht
Stars came as the result of Har
mons two smaShes into the lint
that drew the defenders in clos'
and permitted a long pass, Ii
Bob Kennedy to Sgt Nick Scol
lard, for 62 yards and touch
down. Harmon place-kicked tn,
extra point.
The former Michigan star ha
stated he'll not play pro football
but on the basis of his showing
last night IL is expected the Chi
cago Bears will renew their effort
10 sign him. He is their propert,
as result of National Football
League draft rules.
The story of the All-StdrS' los
is a story of opportunities missed

Purchase Depends Only
On Price Agreement

Nothing but possible price dis
agreement appeared to stand in the
way today of the Navys purchase
of historic St. Johns College, An
napolis, after approval of the plan
was granted Saturday by both the
Senate and House Naval Affairs
Committees.
Chairman Vinson of the House
Naval Affairs Committee pointed
out, however, that his committee
could still change its mind and re-
fuse permission for the Navy to go
through with the purchase if the
price appeared to be out of line.
He said he instructed the Navy
Department to report back to his
committee for approval on any
agreement reached with st. Johns
officials. He said approval of the
Senate committee also would be nee
eSsary.
Meantime, a spokesman for the
Senate committee said today that
40 to As protests over the proposed
purchase of the old college to pro-
vide for Naval Academy expansion
had been received by the committee,
while a smaller number of letters
were received favoring the plan.
The committee spokesman said
the majority of the letters in oppo-
sition were from graduates of st.
Johns, who, he said, had been
asked by college officials to protest" q"
He said that those favoring the
purchase were, for the most part,
businessmen and members of the
Annapolis Chamber of Commerce.
Payment of $750, 900 for the college
grounds and buildings was approved
several weeks ago by Secretary of
the Navy Forrestal. However, col
lege officials have stated the figure
is entirely inadequate.
Richard F. Cleveland, secretary of
st. Johns board said: I'VE are
very much disappointed that the
committees acted on such an i'm
portant issue in this way.
Negotiations between the Navy
and st. Johns officials are sched-
uled to begin next month, and
any protest to Navy acquisition of
the old campus must now be made
to the Secretary of the Navy since
Congress has cleared the issue.
Answering request by Mrs. Nor
den Rigg, chairman of committee
of 100 Maryland women protesting
the college transfer, for confer
ence either tomorrow or Thursday
or Friday, Senator Tydings, Demo-
crat, of Maryland wired Mrs. Rigg
that all protests now should be
directed to Secretary Of the Navy
Forrestal.
Suggesting that the Maryland
group, who already have protested
to Gov. OConor, get in direct touch
with Secretary Forrestal, Senator
Tydings said he would help arrange
such a conference. He advised the
group to have facts" to back UP
their assertions that the Navy's
policy of acquiring st. Johns is
wrong.

Retired Teacher;
Get Pension Boost
By the Associated Press,

ANNAPOLIS, Md, July 30.-Fol-
lowing ALLEGATION by the Board Of
Public Works of approximately So
900 to supplement the annual grant
of $4,000 provided in the Gov
ernor's 1867 budget for the pur-
pose, it was announced today by
Gov. OConor that increased pay
ments are now being made to re-
tired school teachers of the State.

less than $50 per month, and to
increase by 10 per cent pensions of
those receiving between $50 and
500 per month. The State De-
partment of Education estimated
that the annual outlay on this basis
would be $32, LOST.
At a special meeting of the Board
Of Public Works, the chief eXecu-
tive said, it was brought out that
it would require an additional So
500 to take care of the particular
group of retired teachers who were
receiving special pensions. This will
mean a total sum of $36,157. Gov.
O'Conor said, the additional amount
necessary being made available by
the Board of Public Works from the
emergency fund.
The Governor said that there are
ATT retired teachers receiving pen
sions under the teachers retirement
system. In addition. he said, there
are So receiving pensions Of $400 a
year, who retired under the former
system which was non-contributory
and which provided the sum of $500
for all who retired.

During II months of the strictest

Mr. Connolly said.
Nearly 400 1000 persons visited the
two USES Offices during the period,
including 186,333 men and women
seeking jobs and the others seeking
information, the VINO director re-
ported.
OF those sent to jobs by the USES,
Mr.. Connolly said, 5,678 went out
Of town, 6S,331 were put on WASH

placed with the USES, and 39,128

5,173 Veterans Placed.
Veterans were given 11,067 refer
raj cards during the period but only
5,l73 of them were placed in jobs.
Mr. Connolly said since veterans are
exempt from manpower rules, they
are inclined to be more selective In
their job choices than the average
job applicant. He said the proper
ton actually going to work here was
about the same as that shown by
national USES statistics.
Comparing placements Of all job
seekers during the fiscal year end
ing July /, 1945, with those Of the
previous fiscal year, Mr.. Connolly
said 44,953 placements were made in
the fiscal year ending July, 1914, as
compared with the 68,33l place

State Troopers End Snake Rites,

: They shall take up serpents and

shall not hurt them. They shall

Eight Died i'm Recent Years.
Magistrate John Keller. Harlan,
EKy., asserted, however, that the
fdeaths of eight faith healers from
snake bites in recent years had been
substantiated and said there prob
ably had been many others.
The preachers of the cult told
patrolmen that no man-made laws,
no Jail sentences or anything else
will stop the practice.
The hours-long ceremony began
at noon, with the leaders OF the
faith h-heaIing cult. who shun doc
tors and drugs, gathered in Stone
Creek Valley.
They sang hymns with noun
tain twang to the accompaniment
of guitar and cymbals and TOM
tom beating of hands, while few
of the flock worked themselves into
spasmodic convulsions.
Then a preacher of the cult
usually gaunt, pale fellow from the
coal mines - would preach briefly,
reading parts of the Bible dealing
with serpents.
Held Test of Faith.
Their view was that ability to
handle poisonous reptiles or fire or
take poison without injury was a
test of faith.
Then another hymn, and another
sermon, over and over, while the be-
levers worked themselves into a
high pitch of excitement and burst
into a gibberish known among the
cultists as the unknown tongue"
Then in the midst of the bizarre
ceremony, a carload of State pa

what was happening.
