RAIL WORKERS' PENSION FIGHT GOES FORWARD Road Managements to Carry Legal Test Again to Supreme Court. BY FRED BROOKS Time* Special Writer WASHINGTON, Dec. 20. —Railroad labor’s struggle to make its retirement pension system a reality was pushed forward today on two fronts. Aided by a $62,000 WPA allotment, the board set up to administer the Retirement Act of 1935 enlarged its staff by 25 employes and prepared to examine records of prospective pensioners. Meanwhile, the commission authorized under the act to study the pension problem and suggest possible perfections in the law was called into session by Chairman Walter H. Poliak, New York attorney. Commission Is Completed The investigating commission was completed a few days ago when President Roosevelt appointed Mr. Poliak, Charles M. Hay, St. Louis attorney and unsuccessful Democratic nominee for the Senate in 1928, and Dr. Frank J. Warne, Washington economist. The three presidential appointees are to sit with three members of the Senate and three of the House. The commission was directed to report by Jan. 1, but officials said the task could not be completed in that time due to the delay in appointment of the presidential members. Friends of the pension system are hoping the commission’s report, which is expected to go deeply into legal phases, will carry weight when the Retirement Act heads into its constitutional test. The railroad managements, which had the original act declared invalid, have an-

Baldness !'.y Srinirc 8m ice COLUMBUS, 0., Dec. 20 Whether or not you will be bald depends on which of your parents is bald, it appears from studies which Laurence H. Synder and Hal C. Yingling, Ohio State University, report to the scientific journal, Human Biology. "The sons of a bald woman will all be bald," is one of their findings. A woman never is bald unless her lather was. When both parents are bald, the sons must all be bald, but some of the daughters may not develop baldness. Baldness is more common in men than women and is generally transmitted directly from a father to half or more of his sons but only to an occasional daughter. A man may be bald, however, without either of his parents being bald, apparently inheriting the baldness from his mother in whom it was carried as a ‘‘recessive." The facts on baldness, gleaned from family histories and studies of inmates of state hospitals for the insane where women do not hide their baldness under transformations, were obtained in the course of a study to test a method of analyzing sex-influenced inheritance factors.

nounced they again will carry the legal fight to the Supreme Court. An allocation of $39,000 made (o Joseph B. Eastman, transportation co-ordinator, for pension work study is to be transferred to the commission’s use, officials said. A $60,000 appropriation for the commission was lost in the deficiency bill filibuster last summer. Work of setting up administration of the new act also had been blocked by lack of funds. Until the new employes were added, the administrative board had only a dozen workers. Collection of taxes from the railroad management and employes is scheduled to begin March 1. Board members hope to have their rolls of pension eligibles completed by that time or shortly thereafter.

RUMORS PLAGE JUNIOR SENATOR ON U. S. BENCH Move Would Leave Post in Congress Open for Governor McNutt. BY DANIEL M. KIDNEY Times Staff Writer WASHINGTON, Dec. 20.—A Federal judgeship for Senator Sherman | Minton, with Gov. McNutt succeeding to the Senate seat by appointment, is the latest rumor here regarding possible solution of that pressing problem of Hoosier Democracy Gov. McNutt's political future. Some substance is given the plan because it is known by attaches of the office of Atty. Gen. Homer S. Cummings that Senator Minton has expressed himself as favoring the Federal bench as the goal of his political ambitions. It also is remembered that on a

trip here early this month, Gov. McNutt held a lengthy conference with Mr. Cummings. The Attorney General says no progress had been made on judicial appointments. There are several vacancies on the Federal bench, the one on the Circuit Court of Appeals, Chicago, being nearest the Indiana field. Should the Minton appointment ensue, Gov. McNutt could resign and upon taking over the governorship, Lieut. Gov. M. Clifford Townsend could then appoint Mr. McNutt to the vacant Senate seat. A hitch in this would be that the Governor, who is looked upon by his followers as the supreme leader of Indiana Democracy, would be the junior Senator. Senior Senator is Frederick VanNuys, a Democrat, but McNutt political foe. Removal here, however, would keep Gov. McNutt in the political picture between the interim of his governorship and his prospective candidacy for President in 1940. It is with that in mind that Cabinet posts have been suggested for him. Penn-Cornell Alumni Dine Fifty alumni of Cornell University and the University of Pennsylvania attended a dinner and entertainment at the Indianapolis Athletic Club last night.
