-ROCK SLIDE DELAYS RAILROAD SERVICE .Two Main Tracks of New York Central Are Buried Near Peekskill. By the Assoclated Press. PEEKSKILL, N. Y., December 28.— Thousands of homeward-bound holi- day travelers were delayed from a few * minutes to two hours yesterday when 8 30-foot retaining wall collapsed near here and buried both main line tracks of the New York Central Railroad under tons of rock and gravel. Railroad men, forewarned early in the morning by the appearance of a erevice in the concrete wall, im- mediately marshaled laborers who cleared the south-bound track in about two hours. 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 works commissioner, estimated that 1,000 tons of debris was spilled over & 200-foot section of track when the wall gave way. Railroad officials attributed the eollapse to'a sudden thaw caused by recent warm weather, GIRL DRINKS POISON AT FAMILY REUNION | #I Can't Get Along With Any- body,” Miss Caton Is Said to Have Exclaimed.

U. . AIDS STUDY OF ICE PERIL TO PLANE RADIOS Joins Private Interests in Search | for Methods of Eliminating Flying Hazards. B the Associated Press. Air Commerce Bureau officials re- ported today the Government has joined hands with private interests to search for methods for eliminating one | hazard of Winter flying. Through a “radio technical com- mittee,” it was said, efforts are being made to improve the efficiency of aviation radio under the most adverse weather conditions. Officials said the studies now under way were calculated to lassen acci- dents resulting when rain or ice storms choke off, the vital radioed weather reports and the invisible beam signals along which transports fly through fog and night. Omne of the most important problems now under consideration by the com- mittee, it was said, is how to prevent the shutting off of radio reception when ice forms on & plane’s antenna.

YALE DISMISSAL HELD VIOLATION |Probers Find Prof. Davis’ Case Is Blow to Aca- demic Freedom. By the Associated 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 Iree- 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 (of 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 at | 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 that the Yale Corp. disapproved in general of Prof. Davis' sympathies with labor and his efforts on behalf | that it obkcud‘ of economic justice; in particular to his latest book, “Cap- italism and Culture.’” The committee included Prof. Col- ston E.

ALUMINUM “NAZI MONEY” IS REPORTED IN AUSTRIA Tokens Designed to Impose Hon- esty on Collectors for Activi- ties Forbidden by Law. B) the Associated Prass. VIENNA, December 28. — “Nasi money” has made its appearance ir Avstria. Aluminum tokens, resembling the checks which pop out of slot ma- chines, are being distributed among Nazi sympathizers. The tokens are s device to impose honesty on collectors who gather money for activities which are banned by law in Austris. At present police say there is some quiet collection of funds for the support of Nazis re- leased from Austrian jails and con- centration camps, who are unable to get jobs, or apply for public charity. But keeping such collectors honest was & 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, wére devised. A solicitor buys them at s discount, giving perhaps 80 u'.mmnu for 100 schillings’ worth, pays in ad+ vance and then sells them. A cone tributor receives, as a receipt, the ape propriate number of tokens. Dummy Found in Bed. SAN DIEGO, Calif.
