JUDGE LANDIS IN LOOK
The latest issue of Look carries a short but adequate article in which is summarized the policy of one dictator who doesn't crave publicity in his own country. He is none other than 76-year old Kenesaw Mountain Landis, the high commissioner of baseball.
Judge Landis, the same as other dictators, has the complete and final say so over his subjects. He is baseball's policeman, lawmaker, prosecutor, judge, jury, and final court of appeal. However, unlike other dictators, he threatens to give up his job if his employees question his actions.

BECAME HIGH COMMISSIONER IN 1920
To prevent a recurrence of a scandal like that of the 1919 "Black Sox," major league club owners in 1920 asked Judge Landis to become baseball's high commissioner. Showing his complete independence, the judge, when the baseball men had come to him while he was trying a kribery case to offer him the $50,000-a-year job, eyed them scornfully and then thundered: "There will be less noise in this courtroom or I will clear it."
For 22 years baseball's monarch has been answerable only to himself. His contract has only one clause: "The major and minor leagues severally agree to be bound by the decisions of the commissioner rendered in accordance with this agreement and severally waive such rights of recourse to the courts as otherwise might have existed in their favor."

BASEBALL'S WARTIME PROBLEM
With major leagues opening their baseball campaigns in less than three weeks, the Judge is facing his greatest wartime problem—keeping those leagues operating as long as possible without exposing baseball to criticism from the Government, from the armed forces, and from the public. He needs no lobbying in Congress to keep this 102-year old American game in good graces—60,000,000 fans are his lobby.

MAJOR LEAGUES---and distant past.
Farm Senators Warn Of Fight If Wages Go Up
Washington. (INS)—The senate farm bloc yesterday gave President Roosevelt notice that it will launch a fresh drive for higher prices unless demands for industrial wage boosts are denied.
This declaration followed failure of the farm bloc move to override the presidential veto on the Bankhead bill, which would prohibit deduction of farm benefit payments in fixing ceiling prices.
(continued from page four) of Coombs, first and most prominently brought into the headlines by his uncle, Jack Coombs, one of the greatest hurlers back in the dim
The senate referred the veto message to the agriculture committee by a vote of 62 to 23 after a pool showed that the bill could not be passed over a veto. Sen. John H. Bankhead, (D), Alabama, author of the bill, made the motion.
"We will wait a while and see what happens," said Bankhead. "If they go ahead increasing wages and other costs, we will bring the bill up again."
Thus the inflation issue, temporarily at least, shifted to the battle of John L. Lewis for a $2-a-day increase for his coal miners, and other demands by labor on the war labor board for wage boosts.
While the inability of the farm bloc to muster a two-thirds vote to override the veto was regarded as a smashing victory for the President in the senate, Democratic senate leader Barkley was dissatisfied.
He likened referring the Bankhead bill to committee as "a club behind the door," which could be pulled out by the farm bloc at any time.
"A straight out vote to uphold the President's yeto would have been more helpful in the anti-inflation fight," he said.
