clean record, got s1,1OO. Six men
drew $500.
And last year Hans Wagner pulled
down cool $4,000 for galloping

When the President received the
delegation he made no promises. but
said. with what now has much slgnifi-

not included. it was moi to be construed
as an indication of his opposition TO the
