An adjoining local track, which was
. not affected by the slide, was pressed
into service to help move eight or ten
through trains which had been halted
on either side of the break.
David G. Miller, Peekskill public

1,000 tons of debris was spilled over
a 200-foot section of track when the

Railroad officials attributed the

YALE DISMISSAL
HELD1LAIN
Probers Find Prof. Davis’
Case Is Blow to Aca
demic Freedom.
By the Astociated Press.
NEW YORK, December 28—After
three months of investigation, the
American Federation of Teachers' Col
lege Committee on Academic Free
dom reported yesterday that “the
dismissal of Prof. Jerome Davis from
the Yale Divinity School is a clear
case of violation of academic free
dom and tenure.”
The investigation, it was stated,
consisted of the examination of cor
respondence. interviews with divinity
school students and teachers, other
educators and "unsuccessful efforts
to interview Dean Weigle and Presi
dent Angell iof Yale>.”
“The Yale administration's ‘budget
ary’ explanation,” the committee re
port said. "• • • has no foundation
in fact. Prof. Davis' work has been
done on an endowed chair and at1
least one attempt has been made to
secure a successor. * * •
“The committee is compelled to re
gard both these explanations as alibis ;
raised to cover the fundamental fact i
that the Yale Corp. disapproved in j
general of Prof. Davis’ sympathies;
with labor and his efforts on behalf
of economic justice: that it objected
in particular to his latest book, "Cap
italism and Culture.’”
The committee Included Prof. Col
ston E. Warne of Amherst College,
Dr. J. Raymond Walsh of Harvard
University and Prof. Robert Morss
Lovett of the University of Chicago.

RARE BLOOD DISEASE
IS FATAL TO BOY 13
Lawrence. Mass., Youth Had Been
Under Treatment for Two
Weeks.
By the Associated Press.
LAWRENCE, Mass., December 28.—
John Lynch, 13, died today at Law
rence General Hospital of aplastic
anemia, a rare blood disease.
He had been under treatment for
two weeks since his mother noticed
he was pale and uninterested in the
doings of boys of his age.
Young John failed steadily during
the days preceding Christmas, despite
four blood transfusions. He showed
no interest in the Christmas lights
outside his door and his only request
was to be allowed to go home. He
was the youngest of f.ve children.
The boy's case was somewhat simi
lar to that of a Chattanooga. Tenn.,
woman, Mrs. Leo N. Vick. But she
has withstood the disease longer than
John did.
Mrs. Vick underwent her seventy
eighth transfusion yesterday as she
faced with a smile her fourth year
of living on borrowed blood.
WATERWAY PACT
President Believed Ready to
Send Two Treaties to
Senate.
By the Associated Pr ill.
Two proposed treaties, owe of them
the highly controverted St. Lawrence
waterway pact with Canada, appear
certain of being sent to the Senate by
President Roosevelt early in the com
ing session.
Little doubt exists In informed quar
ters that the President Intends to
resubmit the St. Law'rence waterway
treaty, although many look for modi
fications in an effort to meet objec
tions which resulted in American re
jection In 1934.
The only other treaty up for con
sideration is that recently negotiated
at Buenos Aires—the Inter-American
consultative pact.
A substitute for the American
Italian treaty of “commerce and
friendship.” which expires next De
cember, is being negotiated, but its
completion during the coming session
is regarded as unlikely.
What effect an increased Demo
cratic majority will have on the ulti
mate outcome of the St. Lawrence
treaty Is conjectural, although Its
friends have said the last election
added to their Senate strength.
The treaty met opposition in 1934
from many Democratic Senators. In
cluding such administration stalwarts
as Lewis and Dieterich of Illinois and
Wagner of New York.
The inter-American consultative
pact is considered decidedly less con
troversial than the St. Lawrence
treaty. It provides merely for the
j consultation of the heads of the 21
| American republics when, in the judg
ment of any one of them, an inci
1 dent arises which might endanger the
1 peace of the Americas.

Western Roads Report 21
Per Cent Gain in Revenues
Over 1935.
Br the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, December 28.—Hugh
W. Siddall, chairman of the Western
Passenger Association, said last night
the Western railroads would record a
21 per cent Increase in passenger rev
enue for the year, compared with 1938.

■‘Traffic men throughout the coun
try." Siddall said, "place air-condi
tioning next to reduced fares as the
greatest selling gadget that has come
to rail travel.”
Biddau credited a concerted news
paper advertising campaign with aid
ing greatly in lifting passenger busi
ness. The plan was tried in 1935 with
374 daily papers and repeated this
year in 850 dally papers and 6,000
weeklies.
Exodus Greatest Since 1929.
NEW YORK, December 28 (JP).—
The Christmas holiday exodus from
New York by land, sea and air, a sur
vey tonight showed, was the greatest
since 1929 and possibly greater than
that year.

tral Railroads ran two or more sec
tions on all runs.

Line reported planes had been mak
ing three or four extra daily flights to
Chicago, Kansas City and Los An

ALUMINUM “NAZI MONEY”
IS REPORTED IN AUSTRIA
Tokens Designed to Impose Hon
esty on Collectors for Activi
ties forbidden by Law.
B> the Associated Prise.
VIENNA, December M. — "Nasi
money" has made Its appearance ir.
Austria. Aluminum tokens, resembling
the checks which pop out of slot ma
chines. are being distributed among
Nazi sympathizers.
The tokens am a device to lmpoee
honesty on collectors who rather
money for activities which are banned
by law In Austria. At present police
esy there is some quiet collection of
funds for the support of NasU re
leased from Austrian Jails and con
centration camps, who are unable to
get Jobs, or apply for public eharlty.
But keeping such collectors honest
was a problem which gave headaches
to leaders. Of necessity the collections
were secret and contributors had no
redress If their money stayed In some
one's pocket.
So the tokens, stamped with values
expressed in Austrian currency, wera
denied, a solicitor buy* them at a
discount, giving per ha pi go schillings
for 100 schillings' worth, pays in ad*
vance and then sells them. A con
tributor receives, as a receipt, the ap
propriate number of tokens.
