Whichone FaUorite to Win
Belmont Futurity

at 6 to 5. QUESTIONABLE, with a
trial that would have written
new time into the Derby records,

Swinfield was a dying second to
Whichone in the Withers in slow
time, and simply is in the wrong
heat.
Flying Gal, winner of three
cheap races, is going along, If
she goes at all, as company for
the Fox, superfluous procedure.
Whichone will see that the Fox
isn't lonely.
AS for QUESTIONABLE, he would
seem to have a great chance, par
ticularly if the track is heavy. His
ancestors were the sort that
kicked plenty of mud in his eye
the day he was born.
However, only a strict two-horse
race can justify the price on
Whichone and Gallant Fox, and
this pair, as a matter of fact,
ought to do all of the running in
the final quarter. The Fox didn't
have to make much Of a stretch
run in the Derby and Preakness.
His reputation is that Of horse
that stops when nobody chaSeS
him, yet he ran the final quarter
at Churchill Downs as though he
intended to go right on down to
New Orleans.

seen in 10 years, was out Of train.
ing for these races, but came back
some weeks ago to win a cheap
race and repeat in the Withers in
slow time last Saturday. Some of
the boys didn't admire this per.
formance, others did.
In any case, Whichone is yet to
be beaten since the early racing
at Sartogaa last year, and success
is always a natural born leader OF
men.
Besides, he beat the Fox in the
Futurity last year and this has
everybody visibly impressed. II
might be well to add, in this con
nection, that they have decided tc
run his race today, not nine

olas and a beautiful Rumanian
divorcee.
The queen is doing all in her
power to prevent Nicholas from
emulating his brother in abandon
ing all royal prerogatives and
duties for morgantic alliance.
In the meantime, the Ruman.
ian cabinet, headed by Premier
Jules MANU-, met today to decide
on course of definite action re.
garding Carol.
While it is likely the cabinet
may merely appoint Carol to the
regency council, there is some pos.
Sihility that the body may lose
no time in resembling Carols re.
nunciation of the right of sue
cession and Immediately proclaim
him king.
A few months ago it seemed
impossible Carol ever could re-
turn to Rumania. Today, he was
almost a national hero, with
crowds in the streets cheering
his return and even his most
bitter political opponents accept
ing his return as "fait accom-
pill"
Carols arrival at the Cotorveni
Air Field last night was like a
scene from a Viennese operetta.
Two regiments of Rumanian
troops were drawn up in guard
of honor to welcome him, and
at their head stood Nicholas.
AS Carol stepped down from
the French plane in which he
made the trip from his love
chateau at Beleme, near Paris,
Nicholas walked briSkly forward.
The two brothers threw their
arms about each other in a warm
embrace as the band blared forth
the Roumanian national anthem.
Sits at Sons Bedside
Carol then Immediately jour.
neyed to Bucharest by automobile,
and before beginning the confer
ence with political leaders that
will determine his future status,
called at the bedside of his regal
son in the Bucharest Palace. For
full hour he sat by the bedside OF
the sleeping boy, deeply touched
by the first sight of him he has
had since 1925 when he aban-
doned dynastic rights, home and
family for the love of Magda
Lupescu. She is in Switzerland,
with nothing but a substantial
check as a memento of her five
years of love with the heir to Ru-
mania'S throne.
Once back in Bucharest. Carol
lost no time in re-establishing
himself in the regal role he
abandoned five years ago.
Arising at a. M, in his suite
at Cotrocini Palace, Carol found
the city a riot of flags in honor
of his return. Hundreds of per-
sons gathered in front of the
palace at an early hour awaiting
decision of the regency council
and Premier Jules Manu- as to
his future status.

DIAGNOSIS URGED

National Conference Commit.
tee Sees Need in Making
Safety Rules.

Diagnosing of traffic accidents with
view to laying down rules for safety
was urged yesterday by the committee
on statistics Of the National Conference
on Street and Highway Safety. Meet
ing in the United States Chamber of
Commerce, the committee determined
to agitate for uniform method of re-
porting traffic accidents, with all the
States cooperating.
Practically all the States collect acct
dent statistics, the committee was told
by Leon Aronowitz of the Motor Vehicle
Bureau of New York State. Uniformity
is not practiced, however, and Aronowitz
said that absence of standard reporting
forms resulted in failure to make
proper use of available information.
Efforts in many of the States to pro-
mote careful driving, greater watchful-
ness on the part of pedestrians and, in
particular, the protection of children,
have resulted in improvement in the
accident situation, the committee was
told by R. l.. Forney of the National
Safety Council. He said that co-ordi-
nation of efforts made by the States
together with uniformity of traffic rules

Carl Sklar, a district organizer for
the Communists, hoisted upon the
shoulders of two men, started to ad-
