prohibiting the transmission OF racing
news, A. J. Carroll. of Louifvtlle, KY.
one OF the leading race track men
OF the country, informed the House
Committee on Interstate and Foreign
Commerce today.
Carroll. who represents the Jockey
Club and the Thoroughbred Breeders
Association. protested that the legis-
lation Is designed as an entering
wedge, to abolish the racing laws In
Kentucky. Maryland and the several
other states which legally recognize
horse racing
BY establishing a censorship on all
racing news, denying II transmission
through the mails or by wire, Carroll
declared the bill is really an infringe
Inent on the freedom of the press.
The race track IL the greatest
stimulus today to the breeding OF
thoroughbred horses. he declared. and
any legislation tending TO restrict
racing would have a disastrous effect
on the breeding OF horses that have
made the American track famous.
He protested that the legislation Is
an attempt OF a certain class OF pee
ple to enforce their views on the
country regardless OF the laws OF
certain States which recognize racing
as a legal sport.

As the period OF the Salvation

sary that a frank statement OF

For eight days. in sunshine and

women and girls have been dill
gently collecting funds to enable
the salvation Army to continue
it's operations In the Nations

have challenged the admiration OF

Meanwhile the men OF the city
have not met the situation with
a like response on their part. The
great majority OF the large prop
erty owners. professional men
and business men seem to be walt
ing for someone TO visit them and
coax them to contribute TO the
fund. While the response has
been generous from many people,
IL will be necessary for a far
greater number TO contribute be-
fore the Salvation Army can com
piete the great work II has start

This Is a critical period in the
history OF our Government. The

danger that no less body than

only similar endorsement OF an
