CAREFUL FELLER FORT MYERS, Fla., March 4.— tb-Oscar Vitt, Cleveland manager, is so fearful Bob Feller might hurt his pitching arm in the Mareh 17 Ali-Star game at Tampa that he said today he would appeal against using the Iowa youth more than one inning. “That will be much too early to ask Feller to bear down the way he naturally would in a game of that kind,” declared Vitt. “I asked Bob how he felt about it, and he said he thought one inning would be his limit.” RAINED OUT TAMUA, .March 4.—iJP)—The first time in three years, rain washed out a drill session for the National league champion Reds today.

MURRAY IS GIVEN SON, $400 A WEEK (Continued From Page One) Robert S. Burns and Milan Medi govich. Coupling his decision with a criti cism of the polo-playing Mdivani, Judge Dockwieler said: “It is most singular to note that he would spend substantial sums for distant relatives and friends abroad but, with respect to his own flesh and blood, he made no con tribution for many years, other than a few paltry dollars he gave to his wife for their son’s needs. “This is indeed something the ocurt can hardly understand, for which the defendant gave no ade quate explanation.” Miss Murray sued Mdivani for $1,000 a month to enable her to establish a home for the son who was given, under a New York court order, to neutral persons until she could maintain a suitable home. The blonde Miss Murray testified she spent all her funds in a battle to save the boy’s life during a critical illness three years ago. She had complained that Mdivani dis sipated her funds whilo ther were marired, and that although she was worth $3,000,000 in 1926, 10 years later she had spent three nights on a bench in New York’s Central Park penniless. DONATIONS MADE TO FINNISH FUNDS (Continued From Page One) through last Thursday $4,100 had been received in North Carolina and had been forwarded to the Finnish embff;sy. The campaign for funds is en tirely a voluntary one, Marshall pointed out, and provides indivi duals with an opportunity “to aid our little sister democracy in its fight against the aggressive force of a dictatorship.” Finland, he pointed out, of all the nations which borrowed money from the United States during the last World war has kept its promise of repaying that debt as it fell due. Contributions to the fund, he said, will be received at the Peoples Savings Bank and Trust company, the Wilmington Savings Bank and Trust company, the , Security Na tional bank and at the Star-Kews offices. shagging; and a long drill for pitch, ers in fielding bunts, covering first base on grounders along the right field line and holding runners to their bases.

We didn’t know what to do or where to go.” Mrs. W'assil Katalinas, who stuffed rags in cracks the settling opened in walls of her home, commented: “It was awful. We thought it was the end of the world.” Borough and state police roped off the area affected and volunteer patrols guarded against fires. Water was shut off because the pumping plant is in the section that sunk. The noise continued intermit tently for four hours. The set tling went on slowly from 2 a. m. until noon, then appar ently stopped. There was little hope, how ever, that the subsidence was permanently ended.

The Labor board, ruling in a pro ceeding started by an AFL union before the contract was signed, or dered the company to desist from giving effect to it and to bargain with the union upon request. The firm fought the order principally on two grounds: 1- That the board failed to make the employes who signed the con tract a party to the action. 2. That the complaint on which the board was acting made no alle gations against the contract, which had developed afterwards. The court, in a 15-page decision by Justice Stone, said on the first point that the board’s function was not to adjudicate private rights but to effectuate the public policy of the Wagner act and that in its proceedings there was ‘‘little scope or need for the traditional rules governing the joinder, of parties in litigation determining private rights.” On the second point, the court held that the negotiation of the contract was a continuation of the unfair labor practices alleged in the original complaint. "Here the right asserted by the board is not one arising upon or derived from the contracts between petitioner and its employees,” Stone wrote. “The board asserts a public right vested in it as a public body, charged in the public interest with the duty of preventing unfair labor practices. ‘‘The public right and the duty extend not only to the prevention of unfair labor practices by the em ployer in the future, but to the pre vention of his employment of any advantage which he has gained by violation of the act . . . Obviously employers cannot set at naught the National Labor Relations act by in ducing their workmen to agree not to demand performance of the duties which it imposes . . NORTH ATLANTIC SEABOARD SWEPT BT ICE AND SNOW (Continued From Page One) New York city, when 800 fire alarm boxes went out of commission. Some 7,856 Bronx telephones also were out of order and thousands of homes were without lights. Police roped off the 50-story Gen eral Electric building in Manhat tan because of an accumulation of ice at the top. The park department estimated 65,000 trees had been damaged in Upper Manhattan and the Bronx alone and that it would take $600, 000 to $700,000 to repair them. At least three deaths—two traf fic fatalities in New Jersey Sunday night and a Pennsylvania man who touched a live wire blown down by the storm—were reported. Besides, there were many traffic accidents and mishaps involving pedestrians who found the going difficult.

Despite attempts In some British circles to treat the note as more or less a formality required by Italian prestige, authoritative Ital ians did not disguise the seriousness of the coal blockade from the Ital ian viewpoint. While the note emphasized the coal blockadefl it went further and struck at contraband control gen erally and bristled with charges of illegality. STEAMER REPORTS CHASE BY U-BOAT (Continued From Page One) rines were operating off the West Indies. The 4,862-ton British freighter Southgate reported last Friday that she had been attacked by a subma rine about 14 Omtles northeast ot Puerto Rico. When U. S. navy planes sighted the Southgate Satur day she had been undamaged. U.

Her wireless has been silent, apparently, to keep se cret her position.
