TWO MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE. MEDFORD OREGON. SUNDAY, JULY 7, 19-W. FARLEY PLANS TO REIN CABINET; Political Chief To Confer With President Today Ball Deal Pending. New York. July flJ.B Postmaster-General James A. Farley will reilgn shortly from President Roosevelt's cabinet tc become bead of the New York Yankees baseball team, the United Press learned tonight. Details of tho transaction whereby control of the world champions passes from the es tate of the late Col Jacob Pup pert to the syndicate have nol been revealed, but It was re ported the purchase price was more than 83,500 000. The transfer of the ball club is virtually settled, sources dote to the Yankees' management revealed, and will be completed when disposition of 300 of the 3.000 snares of stock Is achiev ed. The 300 share block ,in question Is said to be iwned by Edwaid G. Barrow, scneral manager of the club. Farley will confer at Hyde Park tomorrow with Mr. Roose velt and it was suggested that he will advise the president of his decision to leave the po litical scene. Barrow said tonight that he had no knowledge that the deal with the syndicate was ap proaching completion. Farley's retirement from the tblnet and as Democratic nat ional committee chairman would mean, in all probability, that he would not direct the 1P40 campaign of his party. He di rected the successful campaigns of 1932 and 1930.

L FROM POLISH ACE Ocean City, N. J., July 6 (U.R) The nlne-venr reign of Stella Walsh, Polish Olympic champion, as queen of Amrrl- lea's women dash athletes, was broken here today by a slim Negro girl from Wilberforce university as mid-western ent rants captured principal hon ors in the 1940 women s na tional track and field champion ships. Jean Lane, 17-year-old Wil berforce university student, met the great Polish athlete in the 100-meter dash and triumphed over the intematoinal star with ease. There was no doubt, from start to finish, that the Ohio girl was Miss Walsh's superior as she coasted the tape yards In front. Her time was 12 seconds flat, exceptional for the slow track. The century was the only event In which they matched strides under a blistering sun before 1,800 persons on Mu nlcipal field.

OP) Presi dent Roosevelt's expression of five points necessary for peace among nations merely shows again what a vast cleavage there is between the viewpoint of the United States president and that of the authoritarian states, informed German sources said today. Further, these sources said, since the United States is not involved in the European war. It hardly is conceivable that she expects to participate in peace negotiations that will end the conflict. Hence, Roosevelt's remarks must be regarded, they said, as designed for home consumption. Dies In Crash Oregon City, July 6. (IP) Harold R.

S. Infants Yearly. By Morgan M. Beatty A. P. Feature Writer. Baltimore, Md. The mysteri ous food element and blood booster, vitamin K. is emerging from a rigorous year-long test in Johns Hopkins university as a potential life-saver for 30,009 to 80,000 American babies an nually. Up to now, these infants were stillborn, or died in the first precarious week of life before their lltle systems began to ab sorb the anti-bleeding vitamin from food. Only 1-13, 000th of an ounce of vitamin K is required to save a life a mere speck given to a prospective mother a few hours before her child is born. So impressed is Dr. Nicholson J. Eastman, Johns Hopkins obstetrician-in-chief, by tentative results with vitamin K that he plans a longer series of cases than the 778 now on record Surprised, too, is Dr. L. M. Hell man, young instructor in obste trics, even though he demon strated a year ago that vitamin K was a cure for rare hemor rhagic disease of the newborn. The Cement Vitamin Vitamin K is a blood coagula tor associated with the precious egg-white-like material in the blood known as prothrombin perhaps a sort of natural ce ment. Without vitamin K there's no prothrombin, and without prothrombin, mammals bleed spontaneously, eventually die. More than 127,000 babies do die annually in the United States before the first week of life has run its course. Most of these deaths are accompanied by hemorrhage. Discovered In 1929 Vitamin K was discovered bv Dr. Henrik Dam in the Univer sity of Copenhagen in 1929. In lSoa-38, Dr. H. J. Almauist of the University of California and Dr. Dam first extracted small quantities of what seemed to be vitamin K from rotting fish meal and alfalfa which stopped spontaneous hemorrhages in diet-deficient animals. Nationally known scientists remind you K is not a cure-all for bleeding and won't stop massive Hemorrhages. It does not cure hemophilia. Neither will it prevent hemorrhages of a mother in child birth, for such Hemorrhages are not due to a deficiency of K. Results Tentative D. Hellman eauticMs against expecting results in severe hem orrhages? T don't think the tentative results ought to (- overesti mated," he says. "When applied to the census bureau figures, the results in these 776 cases would indicate that five-eights of the 127,000 neonatal deaths annual- ly about 80,000 might be saved In the future. "But not all babies are born under hospital conditions, and there is an infinitesimal chance of a sampling error. It would be wiser to assume a vitamin K life-saving potential of a little less than half, say 30.000 lives, at least until we have several thousand cases in our series and other institutions have con curred."

STILL UNSOLVED Los Angeles U.P With boun dary and territorial disputes admittedly .one of the leading causes for war the world over, the United States now has three such disputes on its hands, according to Dr. Ronald D. Hussey, professor of history at the University of California. These disputes ore with Latin American countries, but Dr. Hus sey does not believe that either the United States or tho Latin American countries concerned will ever go to war about them. Both the United States and Haiti clafm possession of Na vassa island; Mexico claims the Chamizal tract in the heart of El Paso, Texas, while the Unit ed States and Honduras are rivals for the possession of the Swan islands. In addition, Dr. Hussey said there also are certain potential questions between the United States and other powers such as Great Britain, Russia and Japan relative to islands in the Pacific, the Antarctic and the Arctic, but these likewise he finds are unlikely to cause war. Dr. Hussey has Just compiled a survey showing there exists between the 24 nations of the American hemisphere S6 bi lateral boundary disputes. 'The unsettled status of boun daries at independence time made trouole everywhere," Dr. Hussey said, "but the sharpest conflicts have been over those areas which contain raw ma terials or mineral wealth, such as gold, oil, nitrates, guano, rubber or bananas. "As a jeneral rule the settle ment of all boundary disputes in ' the Americas has been by peaceful methods. 'There have only been five or six wars that could be con sidered as growing out of boun dary disputes and even of these two or three are uncertain. On the other hand, the eminently peaceful method of arbitration has work;d out in many of the cases." Horse Show Chief Salem (U.R) Paul U.
