FIRST RACE NORA,
EADY-A BOUT, MY
BEST BET-DUEL.

FIRST RACE NORA,
EADY- BOUT, MY
SHADOW.
COUNORA lost a neck decision
in his last start and this event
should provide a setting for the
graduation of the Wise Coun-
sellor miss. An equal share of
racing fortune may be all that is
needed. READY ABOUT is due
for an improved performance
and may be the one to beat. MY
SHADOW merits consideration.
SECOND RACE-COUNT TE-
RARCH, JAVAMOCHA,
CRUSAND.
COUNT TETRARCH would
have been closer in his last race
with better racing fortune. The
Elliott representative has only to
run his ability to take the major
prize. JAVAMOCHA is a sturdy
stretch runner and he should be
pressing the leaders at the finish.
CRUSAND will be a factor as far
as she goes.
THIRD RACE NASEBERRY,
OAK APPLE, DRAWOUT.
NASEBERRY is in excellent
fettle. judging by the manner in
which he accounted for his two
recent races and the fleet son of
Chicle rates the call again. If he
breaks with the first flight he
should never leave the issue in

The hackers of Conquer received
$3.50. $500 and $3.50. Honey Cloud

which was third. was $3.l0.
Honey Cloud did the expected by
taking command at the "od bell y
However. she never could shake OIL
Cloidon or Conquer and they raced
around the elbow and into the back
stretch less than a length apart.
At the half-mile pole, Conquer
moved to within q head Of Honey
Cloud. At that stage, Warren Var
berry called on Honey Cloud, while
Johnny Gilbert. who won the stake
In 1896 with Memory Book, gave
Conquer his head.

Around the turn into the home
stretch and on down the lane to
the pay-off line the flying leaders
thundered. First Conquer showed
his head in front and then Honey

under the imaginary wire so close
that the placing judges didn't even

10 start the Biscuit IN the RnOQo'
Island Handicap. AS you know, War
Admiral won this event in hollow
fashion, and believe that Seabiscuit
would have tasted defeat had he
accepted the issue.
l also have made the statement
that if Mr.. Riddle and Mr.. Howard
ever agree to rematch their star per-
formers my choice again will be War
Admiral.
However, I never expect the
two TO hook up again. either
in q special race or In \ regu-
larly scheduled contest.
In glancing through various turf
papers find that practically every
turf writer of note agrees with me
that these thoroughbreds should
match strides once more. Salvador,
dean of all turf writer's, says, Il
do not. however. consider that any
one meeting between two such
horses can be decisive" I heartily
agree with Salvador but in so doing
I am in no way endeavoring to take
credit from Seabiscuit. Frankly,
I say that the match race gave
me one of the greatest thrills I
ever have experienced.
Objects to Ligaroti Coin.
While giving full credit to Sea-
biscuit let us be fair to War Ad-
miral. Also let us be fair to Sun
Beau, whose record earnings OF
$376,744 still top Seabiscuit by ap-
proximately $35,000.
My only complaint over Seabis-
cults record is the $25 900 he earned
for whipping Ligaroti out on the
Pacific Coast. Ligaroti does not de-
serve to be mentioned in the same
breath with the Howard champion.
In his next two attempts after los
ing to Seabiscuit, Ligaroti was
trimmed by such as Dogaway and
Mower. suppose that makes Dog
away as good a thoroughbred rs
Seabiscuit because both took the
measure of Ligaroti. I suppose that
If Dogaway raced against War Ad-
miral he would trim the Riddle ace
by half a dozen lengths. This sort
of logic is crazy, to say the least.
1 am just handing it to you in sup
port of my claim that the SIS 900
the Biscuit earned was a gift.
He might rs we'll have been
racing against his lead pony.
1t should not be counted in his
total earnings but Of course 1t
is and will be.
If the Howard champion does
eventually succeed In his goal OF
supplanting Sun Beau as the world S
leading money winning thorough
bred, as 1 am sure he will, it does
not follow necessarily that he is a
greater horse than the Court Manor
stallion, or in fact nearly so good.
I do not believe Seabiscuit ever has
run a better race than Sun Beau
did when he took up 1875 pounds and
raced ~ miles In 2:ol9s In front

Contempt of Court.

In an age which has witnessed q
marked decline in respect for law and
the agencies through which 1t is ad-
ninistered, Judge should not be sub.
jected to unthinking criticism for in
sisting upon strict adherence to the rules
Of his court. This is especially true in
cases involving gross indifference to the
rules or willful acts Of disrespect.
But there is no reason to believe either
OF these elements was involved in the
act Of contempt for which q District
Court Juror was fned yesterday BY Jus
tice Daniel w. ODonoghue. On the
contrary, all the evidence indicated that
the Jurors action in asking a lawyer
he had known for many years whether
1t was proper for him to question a wit
ness in criminal case was prompted
by sincere desire to avoid any viola
ton of the law.
r. It is true the judge had cautioned the
members Of the jury against discussing
the case with any one and that other
Jurors had asked questions Of witnesses
earlier in the trial. From this 1t might
be fairly argued that the Juror should
have known better than 70 question his
friend concerning thu doubt n his mind.

The Item Veto.

After sixty-five years of travail, the
movement to vest in the President an
atem veto power-authority to veto indi-
vidual items in legislative enactment
while approving the rest OF the measure
has been brought unexpectedly to a
critical stage by the action of the House
In approving such provision in the
Independent Offices appropriation bill
Under the House provision, proposed by
Representative Woodrum, Democrat, of
Virginia, the President would be empow-
cred to veto any item in the bill except
those applicable to the Veterans Admin
istration, as well as riders and separable
provisions Of general legislation.
The item veto was first proposed In
the administration of President Grant.
Nearly every Congress since that time
has considered the proposal, but this is
the hrst time favorable action has been
taken In either branch. Virtually all Of

WASHINGTON OBSERVATIONS
BY FREDERIC WILLIAM VILE,

Press and public were so absorbed in
the business angle Of President Roose-
velts jackson Day address that they
overlooked the significant political note
1t struck. F. D. RS surprising disclosure
that he cast his first presidential vote in
1904 for Republican-his cousin Theo-
dore-instead of for the Democratic
nominee, Alton B. Parker, because
thought him the better man." has been
interpreted as subtle bid to Repub-
licans to throw off party shackles and
become New Dealers. The President may
have chosen this method of inviting BIZ
partisan support as rejoinder to pro-
posals by Senator Vandenberg. Chair
man Hamilton and other G. O. p nabobs
that conservative Democrats should come
over into Macedonia and help the Re-
publicans restore constitutional govern
ment." It was in the same suggestive
vein that Mr.. Roosevelt quoted from
Boswell and Spinoza, when, referring
hopefully to the voids in party ranks
created by Jeffersonian Democrats who
stray from the reservation. he said. that
Mature abhors vacuum"
4
Politicians are cracking their heads
urging the G.. o. P. to climb down from
its historic place on the high tariff wall.
The 1896 Republican vice presidential
candidates recent Cleveland speech has
some of the earmark's of Knox bid for
leadership of liberalized opposition
party, capable of Offering the country a
constructive alternative to the New Deal
in 1910. One interesting speculation is
that Knox may be the spearhead of q
group anxious to head of a Republican
radical movement tarred with the
La Guardia-La Socialist
Farmer-Labor brush. Another view Is
that the Chicago publisher, minus per-
sonal ambitions, may aim at nothing
but steering Glen Franks forthcoming
Republican program" in conservatively
Leftist direction. Knox is on consistent
ground in espousing progressive trend.
He is an old-time Bull Mooser, a tie

One of the sanest and clearest epi-
tones of the recession was submitted to
this weeks annual meeting of the Ma
tional City Bank of New York by James
H. Perkins, chairman Of the board. He
calls it a three -pronged slump due to
Cd increased cost Of production, ca
ending Of the inflationary support given
to business by the Governments deficit
financing and 90 effect Of the existing
uncertainties In retarding the fiow OF
savings into new industries and private
enterprise. Evidently with the favorite
Roosevelt quarterback metaphor in mind,
Mr.. Perkins resorts to football lingo, to
thrust at administration expectations
that industry will take up the slack re-
sultant from cessation Of Federal pump
printing. 1T is Of the essence" he says,

but 1t does not indicate any deliberate
disrespect for the court. Considering the
mans action In the light Of his inexperi-
ence and the mitigating circumstances,
1t might well be asked whether punish-
ment in the form Of warning might
not have been more appropriate to the
oSfense he committed. The most sin
cere advocate Of strict law Observance
should not lose sight Of the fact that
there are times when the interests Of
justice are best served II its administra-
ton is tempered with mercy.

ment. this being the flrst serious effort to
confer the authority by direct act Of the
Legislature. .... .-
Already there have been indications
that Mr.. Woodrum's plan will meet seri-
Gus opposition in the Senate. Some Of 1t
:wilI be based on the sincere belief that
the only valid way Of conferring such .
power on the President Is through an
amendment to the Constitution. With
that view there can be no quarrel, but
other members Of the Senate have said
privately they intend to fight the pro-
posal on the theory that it is an invasion
Of congressional power.
The principal purpose of the item veto
is to enable the President to practice
economy should Congress fail to do so.
One need point only to the recent con-
gressional action on the highway aid bill
and the farm bill for examples of the
failure of Congress to exercise the power
some Senators fear. is being invaded.
Before voting against the proposal, the
apprehensive Senators who anticipate an
invasion Of the powers Of Congress
should examine carefully the sincerity Of
that objective.
Should the President, If granted this
new power, use it oppressively he could
be overridden in the usual manner by
tWo-thirdS vote of CONGRESS. and. should
such step become necessary, the added
veto authority could be withdrawn in the
same manner that it was conferred. But in
the meantime, the President would be in
a position to turn down pork barrel"
items without vetoing an entire bill.
That, without doubt, would be material
contribution toward the balancing Of the
budget.

Part of the Crime Scandal.

Representative Palmisano's explanation
for smothering the bill dealing with the
numbers racket is that he does not be-
lieve it is fair to pick on the numbers
racket; that if we want to stop gambling
we should stop all gambling and that If
the numbers racket is stopped, the other
competitive forms of gambling will be
helped.
OF course, Mr.. Palmisano is talking
with his tongue in his cheek. He has
been sitting quietly on the numbers
racket bill, twice passed by the Senate
and requested by the police and the
prosecutors for years, for reasons of his
own. 1t is doubtless impossible to per-
suade Mr.. Palmisano that the numbers
racket legislation should be enacted.
But the facts regarding the deliberate
smothering of this bill in the District
Committee for several years should be
known and the significance realized by
those members Of the District Committee
who may have a sincere interest in
crime and other conditions in Wash
ington.
The bill is needed to deal with a very
realistic situation concerning enforce
ment of the gambling laws in the Dis
trict. The lack Of this measure is no
adequate alibi for the police or anybody
else. But the police and the prosecutors
are handicapped by the lack of statute
which has been found effective elsewhere
in dealing with the numbers racket. The
legislation makes the possession of num-
bers slips and other gambling parapher-
MALTA prima facie evidence of guilt. It's
enactment would hurt nobody but the
professional gamblers. The failure of
the bills enactment has given Washing
tons numbers racketeers great advan-
tage in their operations here.
Washington, according to Senator
Borah, is becoming the crime capital"
Everybody who knows anything about
it understands that the numbers racket
which has eoven few thugs and their
hangers-on monopoly on a gambling
game which nets them hundreds Of
thousands of dollars year-is heavily
contributing factor to the crime scandal
in Washington today. And the deliber-
ate smothering Of a bill giving the police
what they need in fighting the numbers
racket is a part of the scandal.
