NEW YORK, June 2. m) Jerome
Herman (Dizzy) Dean was suspended
Indefinitely today by Ford Prick,
president of the National league, for;
"canduct detrimental to the best ln-
Frlck said the suspension was meted '
out not as the result of any specific
incident but because of an accumu
lation of statements and actions by
tho star right-hander of the St. Louis
Cardinals that prick considered pre
judicial to tho game as a whole.
Prick did not see Dean today al
though the Cardinals were in town
for a series with the Brooklyn Dodg
ers. However, he personally telephon
ed the pitcher, told him he was un
der Indefinite suspension and in
structed him to report to his (Prick's) ,
office at 11 ft. m. tomorrow for a
confe nce.
"Dean has been popping otf and
talking out of turn too much." Prick
said, "so much so that definite and
drastic action had to be taken This
applies to his statements and actions,
both on and off the playing field.
"These statements and actions I
consider harmful" not only to the Na
tional league but to baseball In gen
eral. The time has come for a show
down on whether Dean la bigger than
the National league. Personally I don't
think he Is."
Prick declined to amplify his state
ment announcing the suspension nor
would ho soy how long the star
right-hander of the St. Louis Cardin
als would be out ot the game.
Dean has been the center of a se
ries of disturbances both on and oft
the field since the spring training

26 YEARS SERVICE
No Inkling of Successor
From White House Rob
inson Boomed for Bench
WASHINGTON, June 2. (AP)
Justice Willis Van Devanter ex
changed today his busy 28-year ca
reer as a member of tho supreme
court for that of a gentleman
farmer.
His colleagues In a letter expressed
high esteem and warm affection"
and "a poignant sense of regret" at
his voluntary retirement.
In reply. Van Devanter said he
would carry happy memories of the
association "together with profound
respects and true affection" for each
of those remaining.
The 78-year-old Justice attended
his final session of the court yester
day, when the tribunal adjourned
until next October.
Van Devanter Intends to spend
most of his time at his 788-acre
Maryland farm.
President Roosevelt ha given no
Indication of his intentions In se
lecting a successor.
Senator Robinson of Arkansas, the
Democratic leader. Is being boomed
by many of his colleagues for the
post. A number of other govern
ment officials and widely known
attorneys also are being discussed.
Legal experts say the president
could delay an appointment Indefi
nitely If he should desire. Several
congressmen pointed out, however,
that his court reorganization pro
gram was Intended to inject "new
blood" Into the court, making It un
likely he would postpone action un
duly. Whoever is named must be con
firmed by the senate. Since 1790.
when the court first met. the sen
ate has failed to confirm 33 nomi
nees. Nine were definitely rejected, four
nominations were withdrawn, and
the senate either voted to postpone
action or refused to vote at all on
nine others.
John T. Parker of North Carolina
still a member of the circuit court
of appeals, was the latest nominee
rejected for the high tribunal. He
was appointed by President Hoover
in 1930 to succeed the late Justice
Edward T. Banford of Tennessee
AfUr Parker's rejection, the presi
dent appointed the present Justice

TRANSFER FOREST
SERVICE, CONTROL!
0-C LANDS
WASHINGTON, June 3. 4 Tuc
Interior department asked congress
today to transfer to Its Jurisdiction
the forest service, now an agency of
the agriculture department.
Assistant Solicitor Rufua Poolo of
the Interior department made the
proposal In the form or a proposed
H . . v...-
I amendment submitted to the house
'nubile lands committee to a bill set
ting up new administrative machinery
for 2.500.000 acres of revested west
ern Oregon grant lands.
L, P. Knelpp of the forest service
previously testified tho agricultural
department could do a much more
efficient Job of administering the
grant lands than the Interior depart
ment under whooe Jurisdiction they
have been since their return by the
old Oregon & California railroad and
the Coos Bay wagon road companies
"For tho past 21 years," Poole said,
"the Jurisdiction of the Oregon 4c
California lands has been In the In
terior department. The interior de
partment now seeks to Improve thu
management of there lands and the
department of agriculture has used
the occasion to divest ua of our
jurisdiction and add to their own."

the Rev. R. Anderson Jardlne, vicar
of St. Paul's church, Darlington, Eng.,

Windsor and Mrs Warfleld were
said to have been overjoyed. Both
were opreaented as having been ex
tiemly dlsappolntd over the Impossi

Midnight Session Flood
Control,- Mid-West Ponds
Promised.
WASHINGTON, June 2. (AP)
The administration's 1,800,000.000
relief bill, winning midnight house
approval after a compromise quashed
a persistent revolt, went to the sen
ate today for another major battle.
Economy advocates In that cham
ber said they would renew demands
to cut the fund by one-third. A
house bloa lost a similar attempt be
fore the final 323 to 44 vote by which
the bill passed.
There were prospects, too, soma
senators would try to reinstate
amendments to earmark one-third of
the total for roads, dams and other
special projects. These won tentative
house approval last week over the
objections of administration leaders.
After week-end conferences, how
ever, the president's lieutenant
agreed on modifications, which were
accepted last night.
Majority Leader Rayburn (D., Tex.)
had argued tying of the president's
hands by the earmarking amend
ments would force dismissal of more
than 630,000 workers from works pro
gress rolls.
The administration contended the
earmarking proposals would take ex
tra money for materials and reduce
the amount available, for wages, ... r. ,
House members described the com
promise as Including:
1. An administration promise that
probably much more than the 4ft.
000,000 tentatively earmarked would
be spent for flood control.
a. An agreement to revoke an all-relief-labor
order which had held up
use of 131,000.000 now In the pub
Ho works administration's revolving
fund for loans and grants to cities.
