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.

Further, these sources said,
since the United States is not

It hardly is conceivable that she

VITAMIN K GIVESiOLD LAND CLAIMS
CHANCE FOR LIFE
Tiny Drop Halts Bleeding;
May Save 30,000 to 80,
000 U. 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." Probe Fist Fight

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."
