Precautions
At Bowie
Defended
By KIRK MILLER
Times Sports Editor

My friend Joe Boyle,
W h o manages t h e
Bowie race track, does
not feel this bureau did
just right by the Bowie
management some 10
days ago when it COM
mented that, in view
of the five spongings
of the last meeting, a
rigid cleanup was
owed the patrons who
foregather at the tidy
little Prince Georges
park.
Joe takes exception, among
other things, to the phrase
herein that 1T is time for &C.
ton"
Countering such an observation
he reminds me that Bowie took
immediate action on the occasion
of the first Of the five spongingS,
by increasing the tracks private
detective force. He adds that the
= Maryland Racing Commission also
increased it's vigilance in an effort
to run down the guilty perpetra-
tors of the atrociouS deeds.
Bowie Precautions
Boyle reminds me that at all
times Bowie maintains a patrol Of
uniformed policemen covering
every section Of the race track
grounds, day and night, with flood
lights playing on all parts Of the
premises when the sun has gone.
From this paragraph in The
Times. General Manager Boyle
assumes that the track Is accused
Of countenancing Sponging:
II do not wish to lean back
ward on the subject Of spOnging
and other nefsriOuS race-track
vices, which crop up from time
to time, but honestly, constant
attendance or even frequent at
tendance at tracks which were
run in the slip-shOd, disOrderly
manner prevalent at Bowie the
last time out, amounts to cOun-
tenancing of if not almost con-
doning spOnging."
That was not the implication.
The plain wording is that constant
or even frequent attendance (by
the public amounted to counter
ancing or condoning Sponging (by
the public).
Took EN-, Liked 'Em
The paragraph directly refers
to a previous paradoxical state
ment that the public seemed to
take these Spongings and like them,
judging by their continued gener-
Gus patronage.
I hope this Strengthens out every
thing in the mind Of Manager
Boyle, and I extend my statements
as to Bowie'S last meeting as
gesture Of fairness to him, because
he wrote he thought I had been
unfair, and to re-emphasize that
the public indeed didn't seem to
mind.
They stuck to Bowie to the last
day and so did the SpongerS.
Meanwhile it would appear from
the recital of the normal precau-
tons as well as the added pre-
cautions taken at Bowie to prevent
sponging when they became cpl
demic, that there is nothing the
track or the racing commission can
do about them.
SpongingS persisted until the
very final hour of the meeting in
occurrences that have never been
duplicated in any other race meet
ing Of any sustained length.
Suspensions AnsUer
And to be little more conStruc-
tive and a little less critical, it
might be said that other race
tracks seem to be able to keep
pretty free of the sponging vii,
&S well as the doping evil, by put

WPA PROJECTS
 POSTED TODAY
Twenty.two New Under takings Sanctioned By
 Washington

Authority for the starting of one WPA project in each of the town of Warren, Kent and New Milford has been granted by Washington it was announced by State Progress Administrator M. A. Daly. These projects are included in a group of % undertakings throughout the state, approved for starting by Washington.
 The New Milford project provides for the improvement of 20 miles of farm- m-to-market roads. It will cost $24,88O to complete and is expected to employ 1lo persons.
 The approved Warren project provides for altering the present town barn for use as a storage place for the fire apparatus, will employ five men and cost $704. The Kent project provides for the paint ing of the North Kent bridge ct a cost of $5S7.
 No additional allotment of funds was made for financing these pro- jects, but permission to start them is in this case construed to mean authority to prosecute them from present available funds, according to Senator Daly.
 Senator Daly further pointed out that no immediate date for start ing these undertakings could be set as he is frequently given lists of projects from which to choose lin. dertakings which will employ the type of persons available in various communities. Some of these pro- jects will be held as backlog tc be started when others now in oper. ation are finished, so that no time will be lost shifting workers from completed to new jobs.

Transfer Of Cases To WPA Attributed
 To Part Of Decline
Drop Regarded Accurate Portrayal of Improved Con-
 iitiOns- -5O9 Relief Members Found Work in December-Mrs. N. VerdOn Issues Report

Following on the heels of one of the most encouraging annual re- ports issued by the Chamber of Commerce in several years, the De- partment of Public Welfare today reported a decrease of 514 persons in it's case load during the month of December. The drop Is the largest to be reported in any single month in the departments history during the depression years and may cer- tainly be regarded as an accurate portrayal of improved conditions.
 5O9 Get Work
 According to Mrs. Margaret Ver- don, supervisor of the department of public welfare, 5O9 persons who w~re either on direct relief or were receiving supplemental aid from the department found private em- ployment during December. Five single men found work and were removed from the DPW list.
 The decrease reduced the case load of the department to only 1087 persons as of January 1, Mrs. Ver- don said. Many of these are for- mer employees ofthe Mutual Aid Un- Fund, who through in- ability to pass requirements for WPA employment, must apply to the city for relief.
 Mrs. Verdon's report today fol- lows a report issued Saturday by the Chamber of Commerce which disclosed gratifying improvement in virtually every form of standard business activity. Advances were noted in bank clearings, savings, electricity consumption, employ ment, postal receipts, and new tel ephones, all regarded as unfailtng barometers of business.
 Other Statistics
 Private employment, the largest single factor inthe decrease noted charges, maintained an encouraging level all through the fall months, dropping of only slightly in De- cember. The number of persons working inthe city in factoriese, re- tail concerns, and public utilities during December was 32,110, &C., cording to the Chamber of Com merce report.
