GUEST RULED
u. 5. CITIZEN

Winston Guest, internationally
famous polo player, is entitled to
certificate Of citizenship because
his mother, an American woman,
was repatriated after her separa-
tion from Guests English father,
Justice Jennings Bailey ruled yes
terday in United States District
Court.
Guest filed his suit last year ask
ing for the issuance of a writ
of mandamus and a declaratory
Judgment against Commissioner of
immigration Daniel w. McCor-
mack
The poloist insisted that he was
entitled either to a certificate of
derivatiVe citizenship because his
mother had never taken an oath
of allegiance to Great Britain or
the immigration authorities should
be required to change the notation
on his certificate of entry into this
country in 1919 to make it appear
that he was a natural-born citizen
instead of an alien.
He only recently learned that he
was not regarded as an American
citizen, Guest stated, although he
has obtained passports many times
as an American and has taken the
oath of allegiance on a number
of occasions, including those when
he became an officer in the Re
serve Corps of the United States
Army and when he was admitted
to the bar.

HORSES
BY ERIC FRIEDHEIM
International News Service

Armed with evidence gathered
in an investigation at nearly
every American race track. the
Federal Government shortly will
take steps to halt widespread dop'
ing of horses by racketeering turf
men.
On the heels of public criticism
of several State racing commits.
sions by the United States Mar.
cotics Bureau, Treasury officials
disclosed today that Federal en-.
forcement officers expect to con.
fer with the National Association
of State Racing Commissioners in
January.
Since the Governments powers
to prevent drugging of horses is
limited, the bureau is ready to lay
a comprehensive course of action
before the association.
Legislation Studied
Treasury authorities admitted
legislation has been studied which,
If enacted, would strengthen the
Governments power in proceeding
against those who use drugs to in
fluence the performance of race
horses.
The annual report of the Mar
coticS Bureau says:
"A large number of race
horses have been found
drugged. In most cases de-
tected, the penalties inflicted by
State racing commissions have
been 50 low that they served as
no detriment.
"The rule adopted by the Ma
tiOnaI Association of State Rae
ing Commissioners to refuse
licenses to convicted viOlatOrs
Of the narcotic laws at race
tracks was not followed by all
State racing commissions. Ii
cenSeS are still being granted
to fIagrant viOlatOrS."
Two State commissions in the
East and one in the Far West
licensed a jockey who was con-
victed in Chicago recently for
horse drugging.
Cite 500 Cases
At present, there are % State
bodies controlling horse-racing.
The bureau has reports Of more
than 500 instances of Housekeeping.
Much of this information was OBJ
tanned in its investigation of tracks
in New York, Massachusetts,
Rhode Island, Louisiana, Califor-
Tio E1orido NEarvlond Illinois and
Michigan.
The principal drug employed in
doping horses is heroin, the bureau
said, and in many instances its
application brought agonizing
death to the animal. Many tracks
already have undertaken earnest
efforts to halt the practice. The
saliva test has proved successful
in detecting drugged horses.

"The Singing Kid,"a new gigantic musical spectacle with Al Jolson in the stellar role starts Sunday at Cameo theater. The picture com pines hilarious comedy with heart throbbing drama, spectacular spe- cialty numbers and catchy new pop tllar songs. It is a colorful produc- ton with the glittering background of New York show life, with Deau- tiful chorus and dancing girls, and fifty. undulating, struttin', truckin' black beauties right from Harlem, mostly members of the "Black- birds," "rhe Cotton Club Revue and other shows.
 Two big specially numbers were staged by Bobby Connolly, includ. ing T Love to Sing-a," in which Al Jolson is featured with the Yacht Club Boys in Q lneiodious medley of lyrical nonsense, and "Save Me Sister," in which Jolson and Wini Shaw appear in blackface, singing Q tuneful air to the sizzling syncopa- ton of Cab Galloway and his band. It is in this second number that the colored dancers do their truckin' with their partners, beginning in a night club and then on to a taber- nacle where they dance up "dem golden stairs"

CAPITOL

Thirteen Hours by Air" fea. turing Fred MacMurray, Joan Ben- nett, ZaSu Pitts, John Howard, Ben- nie Bartlett, Grace Bradley, Alan Baxter, Brian Donlevy, Ruth Don- nelly and Fred Heating, opens Sun- day at the Capitol theater.
 This Paramount picture is a story of romance and intrigue on @ New York-to-San Francisco transport plane, with attempts at murder and at cracking up the ship merely two of the incidents that make the flight adventurous.
 On board the plane as 1t takes of from New York are Q girl who de- scribes herself as Q prominent so- ciallte, but who is suspected of be- ing involved in a big jewel theft; the nine-year-old heir to a fortune of millions and his governess; a man who describes himself as a physi- clan, but who shows Q surprising lack of medical knowledge; two oth- CT mysterious male passengers; and the crew-pilot, co-pilot and hos- tess.
 Once the ship is in the air, things begin happening quickly and furi- ously. There is an attempt at kil- ling. another to crash the plane. MacMurray, the pilot, is reluctant to believe Miss Bennett, the girl in the case, is a jewel thief. The events that follow before all this is cleared up make for one of the most excit- ing stories brought to the screen in months.
