21. The rabbit's foot which brought him luck for more than half a century was of no use last night when Charles "Snowball" Watts collapsed in North Arch street and died at 6 following a heart attack. "Snowball," a familiar figure on the baseball diamond, in the crowds at football games, in the Dauphin County Courthouse and City Hall, was "at least 80 years old," Dr. E. A.

Haegele, Cum berland county coroner, said last night, Watts had followed former Tech and Central High School teams in Harrisburg, called himself the "mascot" of the Senators Baseball Club, and was a rabid rooter for Mechanicsburg High School teams. The familiar "rooter" lived with Frank Dorsey, 116 North Arch street, and while walking toward his home last evening collapsed in the street. He was as sisted home by Lorenzo Dorsey, and according to Dr. Haegele, "sat down in a chair, took two deep breaths, and died peacefully." He has no immediate survivors, and for several years has made his home with the Dorsey family. "Snowball" suffered a heart attack at the Mechanicsburg Car lisb High School football game Thanksgiving Day just as he was about to throw his rabbit's foot over the home team goal posts for luck, as had been his custom for many years.

He recuperated, however, and just this week visited city and Dauphin county offices. Acquaintances said small gifts of cash were his only means of livelihood in recent years, although for a short time he served as batboy for the money raised for the aged fan was deposited in a city bank, and each week he collected $5. Some of the money remains on deposit in the bank. The body was released to the Myers Funeral Home, 37" East Main street, and funeral arrange ments are pending. House Pushes Bill to Curb Defense Profits 76 By Associated Press Washington, Jan.

21. Far reaching legislation to compel "special interest" groups to sub mit accountings of their funds and to limit profits on defense work was prepared today to meet the House naval committee's blunt criticism of practices it declared were current. Chairman Vinson (D Ga) said he would introduce immediately a bill to require big Chambers of Commerce, labor unions and all special interest groups" to report to a Federal agency their assets, liabilities, contributions and Well i congressional circles said that such a program had been discussed by President Roosevelt with conferees on labor legislation two months At the same time, Vinson said he was working on a second bill aesignea to prevent the "exces sive and unconscionable" profits which the committee declared some corporations had made on naval contracts. The Georgian said that the leg islation could not fairly be based on a fixed percentage of profit, but probably would be built arouna average protits over a given period of years.
