|Yanks' LindeII Is Seen
AS Key Man as Talks
Shift 10 New York
By Burton Hawkins

A complicated three-way maneu-
yer by which the Washington Base
ball Club would get Outf1elder
Johnny Lindell of the New York
Yankees, plus Third Baseman Ken
Keltner and Pitcher Steve Gromek
of the Cleveland Indians. was re-
ported brewing today in New York
as the aftermath of visit by Presi-
dent Bill Veeck of the Indians to
President Clark Griffith of the Mats
at Orlando, Fla, on Sunday.
Veeck admitted on his return to
Cleveland yesterday that he had
broached a whale of a deal'' for
Grifhth's consideration and had
been promised an answer soon. The
Associated Press today reported that
deal is shaping up like this:
l. Lindell and Third Baseman
Billy Johnson of the Yankees will be
traded to Cleveland for Outfielder
Felix Mackiewicz and First Base
man Les Fleming.
2. With that deal completed,
Veeck will offer Lindell, Keltner and
a pitcher to the Mats for Stan
Spence and either Pitcher Marino
Pieretti or Pitcher Sid Hudson.
Veeck Bid Rejected.
Griffith, who is known to be weak
ening in his professed no-trade at
titude, rejected Veeck bid Sunday
which would have shifted Cleve-
lands Keltner, Mackiewicz, Out
fielder George Case and Gromek to
the Mats in exchange for Spence
and either Pitcher Roger Wolff or
Pitcher Walter Masterson.
The Mats boss long has coveted
both Keltner and Lindell, right
handed hitters who would bring
balance to the currently overloaded
left-handed Washington batting
order. Should Griffith stick to
present talent the Mats will present
six left-handed hitters in their
lineup, with only Infielder Jerry
Priddy and Catcher AL Evans
breaking the southpaw monopoly.
Griffith visions in Keltner player
who could solve one of the Mats
most pressing problems-adequate
protection at third base-and, by
obtaining Lindell, would gain a
center fielder to supplant Spence.
Griffith isn't ready to trust center
field to Buddy Lewis, Gil Coan, Joe
Grace or George Binks, but would
be content to string along there
with Lindell, who played center field
for the Yankees in Joe Di Maggios
absence during the war.
Yankees Are Desperate.
The Yankees are so desperate for
a first baseman that they have
agreed to test George McQuinn, &c.,
year-old first sacker recently re-
leased by the Philadelphia Athletics.
No great fielder, Fleming is a more
dangerous performer at bat than
either McQuinn or Nick Etten, the
Yankees first baseman last season,
and would be welcomed by the
Yankees.
The deal may be completed this
week end at New York, where officials
of major league clubs will hold
meetings Friday and Saturday pre-
ceding the annual banquet of the
New York baseball writer's Sunday.
Veeck will attend, and representing
Washington will be Vice President
Calvin Griffith and Secretary Ed
ward B. Eynon. w.
Key figure in the proposed deal
will be Veeck, who has heard Crit
flths' demands for Spence. If the
Indians president can lure Lindell
from the Yankees, Griffith will be
more enthusiastic trade talker,

CHICAGO, ILL.,, Jan. 28.-After
wrangling three days like politicians
trying to choose a new dog catcher,
National Football League moguls to-
day were homeward bound after
tossing the brain bundle in Commis-
sioner Bert Bells lap. He promised
to let them know who they would
play, when and where, within the
month.
Yesterdays exhausting stalemate
unquestionably was the last of these
scheduled rhubarbs. Everybody, in
cluding the guy who had to sweep
out the room, had their fill of con-
versation, stale cigar smoke, soggy
sandwiches and name-calling when
the weary club owners staggered from
their hideout. All, distinctly and
unanimously, wore that "let Bert do
1t" look.
George Marshall, Redskin prexy,
said the league undoubtedly will
adopt legislation giving Bell full con-
troll over future schedules. All teams
will play IL games next season,
compromise with Freddy Mandels
plea for 13-game card, but Marshall
said the tendency was to get back
to an 11-game season, to reduce wear
and tear on the players and coaches
nerves.
Season Prolonged One Week.
AS it is now, the league season
will end a week later than usual
December IA. The championship
playoff will be held week later,
and If there are any divisional ties
they may have to play the big game
in snowshoes or on ice skates. The
owners wisely agree the week after
Christmas is no time for foot
ball game-even the National
Leagues prize plum-if played In a
subzero Northern cline.
The Redskins are certain to get
six home games. They should open
at home against the Giants on Oc-
tober 5 and close the season against
the Steve Owen eleven at the
Polo Grounds. Bell most certainly
will book both Chicago clubs in
WASHINGTON. Charley Bidwill wants
to show Charley Trippi and the
Cardinals at Griffith Stadiun-with
an approving nod from Marshall.
and it's the Bears turn to play
in D. C. For their two remaining
Western games, the Skins probably
will play the Lions at Detroit and
Green Bay at Milwaukee.
Rival Loop Seen Breaking.
For a time it appeared that Los
Angeles also would be among the
rubbernecks touring the National
Capital. Danny Reeves wanted to
book the Redskins for a regular
league game, and with their pre-
season exhibition already scheduled
In L. A., Washington had to be

UAW Leaders Holding
Harmony Talk Today
Before Board Session.
BY the Assoeioted Press

LOUISVILLE, Mar. 15.-Leaders
of the CIO United Auto Workers
assembled today for an intraunion
harmony meeting" tomorrow as a
prelude to a Today session of its
international Executive Board.
Spokesman for the two union
factions frankly admitted that the
meeting had been called in an ef-
fort to patch up differences within
the union prior to beginning full
scale negotiations with auto man
ufacturers. The executive board
convenes Monday.
But even as plans for the peace
session were being formulated, uSu-
ally reliable sources here reported
that move was underfoot to Cen
sure" UAW President Walter P.
Reuther for his role during attempts
to settle the 10-month-old Allis-
Chalmers Co. strike.
Mr. Reuther and UAW Vice Presi-
dent r. j. Thomas exchanged verbal
blasts during that strike, Mr..
Thomas charging that Mr.. Reuther
"meddled" in it. Some quarters
indicated the 22-man executive
board would be called on to pass
such motion of cenSure.
MIR. Reuther and Secretary Treas
urer George F. Adde's assumed
temporary leadership of the two
sides that are to attend the peace
meeting. 1t was reported each will
select four UAW officials to join the
discussion.
1t was generally conceded that
Vice President Richard T. Leonard
would join with the Adde's Thomas
faction, while Mr.. Reuther would
draw most of his support from the
board membership.
Internal difficulties within the
union have been aired frequently
during the last year. 1t was just a
year ago this month that Mr..
Ruether ousted Mr.. Thomas from
the union presidency and many
observers predict Mr.. Thomas will
make bid to reverse the outcome
at the unions international conven-
ton at Atlantic City in November.
The UAW which claims about
100000 members, already has begun
negotiations with Chrysler on de-
n1ands for a 231s cent hourly wage
increase and is due to open similar
discussions with Ford and General
Motors shortly. Both the latter
companies have been notified in
formally of the unions intent.

Colorful Seminoles Cling
To Ancient Tribal Customs
BY BAUKHAGE
Ne1us Analyst and Commentator.

its and customs of the Seminole
in this short span as have the weight
of economic conditions-the depres-
sion followed by the high demand
for labor during prewar and war
periods.
For more than three quarters of
century no Seminole has owned
land, his possessions were limited
to a few cattle and hogs running
wild in the swamps, and to what
personal property he could store I'M
der the palmetto roof of his OPEN
faced hut in the Everglades. Today
there are three reservations. Will
liam Boehmer, Indian agent at
Brighton, saw that venture rise
from its inception. He tells me ev-
cry family on that reservation owns
a car and one family boasts five.
Radios are common as are cleo
trio flashlights and kerosene Ian
terms, some knives and forks and
other practical gadgets and lot
of store food and canned goods.
However, there has been no change
in housing styles. Before the origi-
nal deal was closed in 1888, one of
the Seminole leaders first made
sure that living habits should not be
interfered with. He was quoted as
saying:
Indians must live in air and SUM-
shine. Must dress as their fathers
dress"
But additional opportunity for en-
ployment has brought about a de-
sire for an education. As nearly as
I could learn, education to the Sem
mole means learning to speak Eng
fish and perhaps to read and write
it. Because the Seminoles are nat
urally intelligent, it is no trick for
them to learn if they want to. But
the labor demand likewise has in
terfered with the process. When the
family gets special job picking
tomatoes the children go along and
pick, too. There are no penalties
for being absent from school.
With the shortage of teachers of
every kind it is unlikely that the
