Fortune for FeSO

Kellsboro Jack, the previous
American-owned winner in 1888,
cannot be said to be in any
sense of the word an American
horse, as he was purchased by
Mrs. F. Ambrose Clark shortly
before the race. Kellsboro Jack
was actually Irish bred.
No horse race in the world
carries the wide appeal Of the
Grand National, and this goes
for the Kentucky Derby, Santa
Anita and Preakness, because
of the sweepstakes interest.
Tickets for this are sold
throughout the globe and once
yearly a fortunate few inherit
undreamed-of gold as the result
of the draw and the running
of the race.
Among those upon whom the
fateS smiled as the result OF To-

The thought occurs during a
pause at Georgetown's athletic
field off Reservoir Road, where
Joe Judge, a little chunkier than
he used to be, but none the less
imbued with the game, presides
over the daily practice.
Yes, Joe is a little thicker
through the middle and some
silver fringes the outline Of his
cap, but he revels in his work be-
cause he's a born baseball man
and happier in that than any
other activity.

LAUNDRY HEADS,
WORKERS AGREE.
|ON TWO POINTS.
Wide Difference on All
Other Wage Items

Women laundry workers ought
to have SIS year to spend on
their vacations and $65 annually
to put out for transportation.
These were the only two points
on which employer and employe
representatives were in accord in
submission Of lengthy and detailed
budgets yesterday at the opening
of the minimum wage board hear
ing to set basic salaries for women
and minors in the laundry and
cleaning industries.
BUDGETS OFFERED
On behalf Of the employees, Ar
thur L. Schoenthal submitted a
budget calling for weekly wage
of $20.08. For the employers,
Claude H. woodward offerd a
budget for an $11.35 weekly wage.
Except for the vacation and trans
portation item, the two budgets
were at wide variance.
Members of the board today
toured several laundries to inspect
conditions under which employees
work. After the tour Schoenthal
reiterated his determination to in
sist on a $20.08 weekly wage for
laundry workers.
The employe budget asked SIS
for room and So for meals week.
The employer listed room and
board at $3.50. For clothing, the
employees estimated $2.4a a week
while the employer figured on 81
cents. For sundries, the employees
asked $4.59 and the employers
$3.03.
WARNS OF MOVE
Woodward, after first determin
ing that Chinese laundries were to
be included in the hearing, de
clared there are 4,500 employees in
the local laundry and cleaning in
dustries. He declared local laun
dries were subjected to grave com
petition from plants in nearby
Maryland and Virginia, where
women may be worked longer
hours and no wage rate is fixed
for them.
Should the board fix too high
a wage, Woodward warned, laun
dries and cleaning plants may
move their businesses elsewhere
and swell the rolls Of the unem
lployed here.

Increasing congressional anxiety
over the Hitler coup in Austria was
credited with driving members
whose position was in doubt into
the Administrators fold.
Representative Maverick Cd of
Texas, leader Of the coalition bloc
fighting the expansion program
declared frankly the House would
pass the bill.
LOOK TO SENATE
Miss jeanette Rankin, lobbyist
for the National Council for Pre-
vention Of war, active in opposing
the bill, also conceded House ap-
proval of the measure and de-
Glazed she was pinning her hopes
on the Senate.
From an Administration source,
House Whip Boland CD Of Penn
sylvania, came an assertion that
there is no doubt whatsoever
that the lower chamber will pass
the measure.
Maverick also viewed the Euro
pean situation as strengthening
the Administrations support OF
the naval building issue. but he
gave this warning to his Demo
cratic colleagues.
THE acts Of this mad Hitler
are developing much the same
psychology here as the kaiSer'S
acts did in World War days.
