$6O,OOO RACE
 REAL CONTEST

Goshen, W. Y.--(UP)-The ESQ.,. 900 Hambletonian Stake, here, August 17. for three-year-old trot. ters, having appeared as a cut-and- dried affair for the favorite, Maid McElwyn, for several months. now takes on the aspects of a real con. test, with last years two-year-olJ champion Ally in for a hard bat tie.
 With the Matron and Stallion championship stakes out of thu way, at least four crack trotters now appear to have the ability to give the Maid real competition.
 The two stakes decided thus far at Cleveland indicate that the four eligibles-B winner of the Matron; the Marchioness, winner of the Stallion; Calumet Chuck, runner-up in the Matron, and Hol. lywood Robin, ,runner-up in the Stallion, have entered into. the cam
 paign with surprising form.
 AR a matter of fact. Maid Nc. Elwyn, hope of H.. Stacy Smiths Newbrook Stable. of Newark, N. J.. has not had an opportunity to show what she can do this season, al. though she showed considerable promise in her winter and sprins campaigns and has been quoted c three to one favorite in the win ter books. Horsemen who have been singing her praises all season, however, agree she will need every thing to stem the challenge of the four trotters dominating the pic. ture at the present time.
 She Is not the only cam paignef not yet tried, however. William II Cane, president of the Mile Track association and guiding spirit in the Hambletonian Stake event has
 not yet sent Warren Guy. his sec. ond colt candidate, to the post.

 In addition to the direct relief and construction loans, the meas ure apportfons $122,000, 1000 among all the states for highway work. This will be deducted from fu- ture federal highway grants.
 The money to be loaned will be raised by the reconstruction cor- poration through sale of deben- lures. The treasury has bought all the debentures so far offered.
 The question of the corporation making public all future loans is hotely disputed. The relief bill provides for reports to the house and senate. President Hoover said he was assured the data would be kept confidential by congress. Democratic Leader Rainey of the house vehemently assafled this in- terpretation. He threatened to bring about the dismissal of South Trimble. house clerk, if Trimble failed to make public the reports when transmitted to him. Trimble said he would seek legal advice" before reaching a decision. Senate Clerk Edwin Thayer said he had no intention of making the reports public until the senate specifically directs him to do so.

 The socialist newspaper Vor- waerts announced that 30 persons had been killed and 1,125 wound ed during the month fascists and others were allowed to wear their uniforms, coripared with only 68 killed during the IS months preced- ing. These figures did not tally with other estimates which placed the dead and injured much high CT.
 Twenty persons were known to have been killed in fighting Sum day and Monday.
 Two workers were shot down in the streets and a dozen were wounded i n one of the latest out breaks, near Frankfort-on-M Main, when police fired on demonstrators returning from the funeral of two women killed in an earlier clash.
 Near the Hession village of Hom- berg, one Nazi was killed and a score of Nazis and communists were wounded when communishts attacked Q Nazi parade. A police- man was stabbed and many Nazis and communists were wounded in a knife and stone battle in the old section of Essen.
 The intervention of the federal government took surprising turn because suppression of outdoor meetings fulfilled the demand of the state government which the federal regime over-ruled only q few weeks ago by lifting the ban on demonstration which existed at that time.
 The removal of the ban was lIke- iy to dissatisfy fascist leader Adolf Hitler. The decree curbing pos- session of firearms and ex- plosives was expected to be more to his liking.
 The threat of execution would be directed mainly at the commun- ists. regarded by the government ns being responsible for most of tho political trouble.

Storrs, July 19 Changes in economic conditions are leading Connecticut farm women to play new roles in the management of their homes and in community af- fairs, Miss Edith Mason. State Home Demonstration Leader of the Connecticut Agricultural College Extension Service, reported to-day.
 The farm woman of to-day ts no longer the "kitchen slave" that she has been so often pictured. in the past. She is alert to new wrinkles in cookery, Is more than ever in- terested in family health and gen. eral welfare of the home. In addi- tion, the modern farm housewife is taking a keen interest in local gov- ernment and economies because she realizes the effects the two have on every day life. Miss Mason be- lieves that the tendency of farm women to broaden their interests is an indication of renewed stability for agriculture during a critical period.
 In order to bring to light and clarify the more important issues with which farm women are con- cerned, the State College has plan ned homemakers' program to be held at the institution July 24 to 20 in conjunction with Farm and Home week.

 The Reconstruction Finance cor poration, which will handle most of the relief, is rapidly expanding its facilities and arranging more office space. The states are rushing applications for loans. Illinois and Pennsylvania are at the top of the list.
 States that have got down to the bottom of the relief resources will be lent total of 00.000,000 for direct relief of distress--for pro- viding groceries, clothing, fuel and shelter for the destitute unem- ployed and their families.
