But Cavalcade hasn't run a

was entered in the San Antonio

scratched-he'd thrown a shoe
and hurt his foot. And Trainer
Bob Smith confessed the posi-
bility his famous charge may not
run in the big race-may never
run again.
The scratching of Cavalcade
postponed, if it did not end for
ever, the longtime fued between

And Saturday was wide open
day, an opportunity for any horse

Senator Vandenberg, Republican. of

Vandenberg presented table IN the
Senate yesterday which he said was
issued by the F. E. r. A.. showing
Federal relief contributions ran from
-oe.l per cent in South Carolina to 40
per cent In Delaware.
1T hardly seems probable" he said,
that the public credit OF individual
States could be exhausted in the pro-
portions indicated by the figures. .
It is utterly contrary to the theory
and spirit and genius Of Republican in
stitutions that an authority so vast in
respect to the distribution OF public
funds should rest in any relatively
subordinate administrative officer"
Harry L. Hopkins, w. P. A. admin
istrator. son afterward defended his
policy Of granting a larger share of
relief costs to some States than to
others.
If you take the States on the basis
Of their per capita wealth." he said,
"you will hit our allotment pretty
close"
Vandenberg expressed hope that If
additional relief appropriations are
desired, we may add legislative for
mula for the distribution of funds
50 that this sort of challenge shall
not again confront us"
Saying he did not question the good
faith of the relief authorities, VAN
denberg continued:
1T hardly seems probable that the
public credit of individual States
could be exhausted IN the proportions
indicated BY the figures. only make
the point for the time being that no
discretionary powers of this nature,
no matter tow nobly mediated, could
be used satisfactorily or equitably."
