OMAHA CAPTURES
.PREAKNESSE SEAS|LY
Derby Winner Leaves Seven
Other 3.Year.0Ids Far
in Rear.
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
BALTIMORE. May 11.-Once again
asserting his right to rank with the
turf's great, Omaha, william Wood
wards chestnut son Of Gallant Fox,
capped his easy Kentucky Derby vic
tory with an even more decisive tri-
umph today as his flying hoofs left
seven other 3-year-olds far in the rear
in the forty-f1fth running Of the
Preakness at Pimlico.
Guided by Willie (Smoky) Saunders.
the slim -barreled speedster finished
the j 3/16 miles six lengths clear of
Walter M. Jeffords' Firethorn, which
was eating Omaha's dust for the first
time this year. Still another six
lengths to the rear trailed Mrs. Dodge
Sloane's Psychic Bid, seeking to dupn-
cate the 1884 feat of his stablemate,
High Quest.
Omaha was clocked in 1885, one
fifth Of second slower than the race
record hung up by High Quest, but
the time might have been shattered
had Saunders 50 desired. Even at
that 1t was more than seconds faster
than Gallant Fox made five years ago.
Wins S25,s25 for Owner.
Made the odds-on choice by the
record crowd of 10000, including many
Congressman and others high in the
political and social life of the Ma
ton and State, Omaha never left the
outcome in doubt once he swung into
stride. He paid $3.50 for a 50 win
mutuel, while his owner, New York
banker and chairman of the stewards
Of the Jockey Club, received SIS 1875.
The victory boosted Omaha's total for
the year to $66,600 and for two years
to s70,450.
With the victory went the honor Of
completing the first father-and- son
double in the race and being the
fourth horse to win both the Derby
and Preakness. Sir Barton turned the
trick In 1919, Gallant Fox in 1880 and
Burgoo King two years later.
The disappointment of the race was
Warren Wright's Nellie Flag. the
fourth at the Downs, but today, with
no excuse Of being bumped, she could
do no better than seventh in an at
tempt to duplicate the 1924 triumph
of her mother, Nellie Morse Only
E. r. Bradley's Boxthorn was back Of
the Western fllly.
Omaha Slow in Starting.
Running his usual style, Omaha was
slow to get under way. but quickly
settled into stride, while Bobby Merritt
shot Mrs. c. s. Bromley's Brannon
into a long early lead.
As Brannon turned into the long
back stretch, Saunders decided it was
time for Omaha to begin to run, and
he began to eat up the ground. In
few strides he was in fourth place, but
still trailing by eight lengths. Then
he was third, then second, and as the
turn leading out of the backstretch
neared, he stuck his head In front.

FARMERS MARCH"
ON CITY FOR A.AA.
5000 Expected at Sessions
Here to Point to New
Deal Benefits.

Groups Of farmers from the Mid
west and Southwest were moving on
Washington last night by automobile,
bus and train to urge Congress to
continue and strengthen the crop
control law.
In the Capital Clifford H. Day Of
Hale County, Texas, organizer of the
movement, announced that he ex-
pected 5000 of them to assemble in
Constitution Hall Tuesday to praise
the efforts of the New Dealers to
raise them from the dry furrow Of
depression.
The Associated Press reported last
night that 1000 from q dozen States
had begun the trek. Among the
larger parties were those from Min
nesota, Nebraska, Texas and Iowa.
Iowa's delegates included four from
cooperative dairy marketing asso-
Citations. Other groups planned to
leave last night from Missouri, North
and South Dakota, Kansas and New
Mexico.
Day, who works a 32o-acre farm in
Texas, arrived In Washington yester-
day morning with his wife, intent
upon mastering some tangible support
for the farm program Of the Agricul-
tural Adjustment Administration.
Soft spoken and seemingly sincere,
he told reporters yesterday afternoon
that Secretary Of Agriculture Wallace
and A. A. A. Administrator Davis
have been invited to speak. Even
if they don't appear. the Texan con-
tinued, their popularity will not be
jeopardized.
To Review Benefits.
Beginning at 10 o'clock, keynote
speaker will devote 20 minutes to re-
viewing the benefits Of the present
farm program as the farm group finds
them. Following him will be four
speakers, representing the corn-hog,
wheat, cotton and tobacco growers,
who will extol the new deal for agricul-
ture for 10 minutes each. After the
meeting those present will ride, not
walk" to the Capitol, there to continue
their efforts in behalf of the Triple AS.
Somewhat shyly, Day admitted yes
terday that he was the originator of
the whole idea; from him it spread to
the farmers of his immediate neigh
borhood.
1T was this way" he explained.
1--WE felt, the farmers did, that the
administration needed some support
up here We heard these complaints
against the processing tax-it's like a
bunch of cows, one or two make a
noise like a whole herd. Those who
were getting checks weren't making
any noise, so we asked 'em If they
wouldn't like to express some appre-
ciation to the Triple A.
IF you were down and out in 1882
and 1888 and a program was offered
that got you out of a bottomless pit
even If you don't know what it's all
about-you wouldn't want it thrown
away. We're getting cash benefits and

4OOFLY|NG FOES"
TOATTACK HAWAII
"Enemy Advancing From
West After Taking Midway
Island From U. S."
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
HONOLULU, May 1.-THE spec
tacle of mass attack on Hawaii by
more than 400 enemy" planes was
reported today in the plans of the
Navy's mid-Pacific air maneuvers al
ready involving the secret and un-
precedented movements of As fighting
aircraft out of Honolulu.
1t was unoffcially learned that the
operation was being planned on the
tactical theory that an enemy had
suddenly overpowered American de-
tenders of Midway Island and were
advancing from the west toward HON.
olulu and the important Pearl Harbor
naval base with an enormous air
feet.
Surprise Attack Test.
Presumably it involved test Of
whether the American warships could
fall back from Midway to Honolulu
and with the aid of anti-aircraft guns,
Coast Artillery and Army planes, with
stand great surprise" attack by air
from the west.
Naval circles here still were as
silent about the reported enlargement
of the maneuvers as they were on
the whereabouts of the massed planes
that left here Thursday morning sup
posedly for Midway Island, 1928 miles
to- the west and north.
Washington Hint.
A hint from naval officer In
Washington preceded the informa-
ton here about the augmented maneu-
vers. The Washington authority said
the 45-plane flight was "child's play"
in comparison with other plans in
volved in the far-flung operations. He
mentioned the possibility Of $50 planes
participating.
The 45-plane formation had been
absent from Honolulu So hours at
noon today and still there was no
official disclosures as to its where
abouts. Unofficial reports indicated
some Of the aircraft might have
landed at islands near here for tao
tical reasons.
Unoficially 1t was said the flight
was being planned as part of the
fleet war game, as the enemy feet,
having theoretically overpowered de-
tenders of Midway Island, 1928 miles
west, makes a spearhead advance to-
ward the important Pearl Harbor
naval base here.
Strategy Of Operation.
Strategy of the operation would be
this:
The defending feet, having encoun-
tered the attacking surface ships, will
fall back until the attackers are within
range Of the long guns mounted on
island forts. These guns,
plus those of the defending warships,
will be sufficient, it was believed, to

WATR APPLES EnR' TIME EXTENSION
Local Station Amends Petition for Additional
 Hours
RY PAUU NAV

Washington, D.. C., March 1e - Tadio station WAfR has asked the Federal Communications ComTnis- sion for permission to broadcast additional time in the evening.
 WATR recently filed with the commission an application to change its frequency from its pres cnt wave length of 1190 kilocycles to 12OOO kilocycles and to be al- lowed to broadcast unlimited hours.
 By an amendment of that ap- plication now filed with the com misispn WATR asks that 1t be per- mitted to retain It's present wave length but that 1t be allowed to broadcast until "local sunset" at San Antonio, Texas. et
 7 The reason behind the latter re- quest is that WATR operates on the same frequency as the powerful 50.O0O watt clear channel station WOAI, at San Antonio. Under com mission regulations, stations op- erating in the daytime on "clear channels occupied by a dominant station may broadcast until local sunset at the location of the doIn- inant station.
 Such an arrangement would give WATR something like two hours more time each evening. In mak- ing the application WATR opines that the operation of WATR will not interfere with the broadcasts of WSAZ.
