Bimelech May Hit Back In PreakneSs,
 But Ordinary Three-Year-Ol Likely To Take Turns Beating One Another

 or his unbeaten record, Colonel Bradley's colt stood out because the others appeared mediocre, but there were no good reasons to place him in class apart.
 Looking back now, critics real ize Bimelech was lucky on a couple of occasions as 2-year- old.
 Twice he barely beat Andy K, despite the fact that the Millsdale Stables problem child ran all over the track finished on the outside rali.
 BIMELECH LIKES
 PIMLICO TRACK
 Great horses break track records. Man O War, for example, held five track and two world marks, al- though Big Red did not race after his 3-year-old year.
 Blmelech has not come close to @ track record
 And now close followers of the turf who were at Churchill Downs for the Derby Trial, recall Bimelech appeared to be tiring when he beat Gallahadion by two and a half lengths at a mile,
 It was that afternoon that Roy Waldron, trainer of Gallahadion, and Tom Smith, who has Midland, were convinced the last son of Black Toney could be defeated at mile and a quarter.
 Bimelech may strike back in the 50th running of the Preakness, May II. The dark bay from Idle Hour Farm likes the Pimlico track ran his finest race there last fall in the Pimlico Futurity. And 1t has now been demonstrated that the mile and three -sixteenths of the PreaknesS is a distance more favorable to him than a mile and q quarter.
 Performances 10 date indicate the current 3-year-olds will take turns beating one another through out the season.
 l won't be surprised If Charles S. Towards Oregon-bred Midland wins the Belmont Stakes at @ mile and a half in early June.
 The son of the Italian sire was fairly roaring along as he finished fourth in the Derby.
 SIR GALLAHAD III HORSES IMPROVE
 But the Milky Way Farms Gal- lahadion hardly is a thoroughbred which will not be heard from again.
 Horses sired by Sir Gallahad III improve, and Gallahadion is con- structed for speed and distance, wear and tear. A big colt, stand ing more than 10 hands, Galla- hadIon is stronger and more rugged than Bimelech.
 While he has been defeated i4 times and by 48 horses, Gala hadion captured three races at Santa Anita the past winter, in- cluding stake.
 And there were extenuating circumstances in the two races he lost, for Waldron explains he was knocked down In the $50000 Santa Anita Derby and in another effort. Ills stride is so long 1t takes him long time to get back Into !t after he is bumped.
 Gallahadion was not pressed in the Derby Trial.
 Sir Gallahad III, son Of Teddy, Gired Gallant Fox and the dams Of Omaha, JohnstoWn and Chaledon He sired Tnsco, which got Lawrin the Derby win Of 1888. He sired Gallant Sir, q winner of $li5,065; High Quest, PreakpesS winner; Tintagel, 6 Belmont Futurity win. ner, and many other stake win- fers.
 And in what turned out to be an ordinary Derby field, they let Sir Gallahad ITS latest illustrious son, Gallahadion, open and close at 35 to 1.

Baltimore, May 9-The heads Of the Gallahads are still carried high, which is the way they run :. their heavy necks arched like that of a swan.
 Ordinarily horsemen prefer horses which run with their heads down, but their -headeoness has never hampered the line of imported 2O- year-old Sir Gallahad III.
 Gallahadion's breeding alone should not have permitted him to go to the post in the Kentucky Derby at 35 to 1. His dam, Coun- tess Dam, is by Clyde Van Dusen, surprise winner over Blue Larkspur in the 1929 Derby. Clyde Van Dusen is by Man O War.
 Bimelech is another striking illustration that a race horse can

The legislation is not operative

little time would be required to
clear up the status Of the relief

work was being started Immediately
as 1t was not anticipated the bill

Adding that he himself would be

Somervell was quoted by the Asso-

those containing authentic informa-

IN these inquiries, he ampnfied.
Meanwhile, the Workers Alliance
here yesterday published a vigorous
attack on David LASER, who recently
resigned the presidency, because he
said a political group" had gained
control Of the organization which
acts as spokesman for organized re-
lief workers. Mr.. Lassers statement
was interpreted as being directed at
Communists.
The Alliance Bulletin, which goes

times the turn of events prevented
this.
All this time Canada has been
spared the devastating war of nerves
which was endured by the people of
all Western Europe. There have
been no blackouts, no casualty lists,
no AFRAID sirens screaching
through the lampless darkness,
practically no uncertainty as to the
whereabouts of sons and husbands.
1t was beginning to look as if the
Dominion would play very minor
part in this struggle. There was
no more concern about personal
security than has been felt in the
United States.
All this time, however, the
Dominion has not been lulled to
sleep nor deluded into the fantasy,
SO often expressed during the win
ter across the border, that this was
a "phoney war" 1t has been lay
ing solid foundation in the CO.
ordination of its national life to be
ready for any emergency, the nature
of which hardly could be imagined.
Time Comes Suddenly.
Suddenly the thinly populated
Dominion of the north finds itself
potentially the spearhead of the
whole struggle of democracy against
the flame-belching dragon whose
apparently irresistible might has
trampled France in the dust and is
ready to be turned against Great
Britain.
For the last two or three months
there has been discussion of the
possibility that the capital of the
British empire might be transferred
to Ottawa if London became un-
tenable in the face of a German
invasion. Such discussion has been
purely academic, almost in a class
with talk about occupation of Mars.
Certainly the man on the street
did not think of it other than as a
fantasy Of some very remote future.
Suddenly it has become far from
remote possibility. Canadians
have been stunned by the news
from France. by its implications for
their mother country. But it has
broken any lethargic sense of we'll
being and safety. The nation which
expected to play quite minor part
in the great clash of ideologies sud-
denly finds itself faced with the
prospect of playing major part in
saving North America for democ-
racy.

Despite desperate need for war
planes for the Allies and our own
national defense program, a ma
jority Of American aircraft and air.
craft engine factories still remain
on a f1ve-day week schedule and
some Of them will shut down this
summer on mass vacation
schedule.
The curtailment of production re-
sulting from such schedules, in the
opinion of defense authorities, points
to the need for a mobilization of
American labor on a scale which
may play havoc with provisions of
the wage-hour laws during the
period of national emergency which
rapidly is keying up many branches
OF industry to wartime schedules
The role of labor in the present
national defense emergency remains
one of the serious problems still
awaiting solution. Leaders of the
aviation industry and defense plan
ners are convinced that warplane
production cannot attain maximum
capacity under the present setup.
They pointed out, however. that
none of the prospective summer
shutdowns will interfere with the
completion of existing contracts on
schedule or ahead of schedule.
Can't Find Labor.
To maintain airplane and engine
factories in full production and still
to abide by flve-day week and va
cation laws and agreements would
necessitate employment of thou
sands of temporary skilled workers,
especially during the summer sea-
son, leaders of the industry declare
Such employees cannot be obtained;
in fact, aviation factories are hav-
ing difficulty finding and training
sufficient permanent employees to
keep pace with plant expansions.
At least three airplane factories
will be closed for vacations this
summer, according to reports re-
ceived by the Aeronautical Chamber
of Commerce. They are the huge
Douglas Aircraft Co., Santa Monica,
Calf, which, with a pay roll of
$4,000 is the largest in the industry;
Bell Aircraft Corp. Buffalo, N. Y,
and Republic, Farmingdale, Long
Island. which builds the former
Seversky aircraft.
Present plans call for shutting
down the Douglas plant for a five
day period beginning July 3. Re-
public for 10 days, from August "a
to September 8, and Bell for a week
ending July Z.
1t is possible that other plants
may order vacation shutdowns.

ever, are not due alone to labor con-
ditions, but also to a need for q

OTTAWA, June 22.-Canada to-
day is a nation at war.
After 10 months of getting started,
she has shifted into high the gears
Of the entire national economy and
her capital is a city Of intense. con-
centrated activity which begins to
look like western European capitals
last autumn.
She has actually been at war with
Germany since September. but it
has hardly been apparent on the
surface Of Canadian life. It has
been q titantic job to change from
a complete peace to complete war
economy, with much Of the effort
put on colorless organization of an
infinity of details. For war today is
very little matter Of brass bands
on street corners, flags on display
and soldiers marching through the
streets.
Buildings Are Bee Hives.
Even now there is not much that
meets the eye. At the very center
Of activities men in uniform are not
conspicuous. But Office building
after office building is being taken
over for military, naval and air force
activities. The hotels are packed
with men and women on war service.
Twenty hours Is an average days
work for many OF the war personnel
with the vast jobs of registering and
co-ordinating which face them be-
fore the Dominion can throw its full
might against Hitler.
Declaration of war last Septem-
ber as q partner in the British EN-
pire was almost automatic, but the
role the Dominion was to take was
far from clear. The picture Of war
in the minds of the Canadian people
was that of the great struggle of
1914-18 in which they had played an
heroic part. But from the first,
this clash Of nations did not follow
the same pattern.
One Division Goes Over.
Canada, it might be said, was
hardly at war at all. There was
almost nothing to remind the man
on the street Of it. Business pro-
ceeded as usual. There was the long,
dull winter when nothing happened,
when it seemed as if everything was
at q stalemate, and that the last
thing the Allies needed was men to
stumble over each others feet in
the fortified lines. A single Canadian
division was equipped and sent to
England-more as a gesture Of part
nership than because there was any
urgent call for the troops. They
have stayed there, for the most part,
ever since. Twice they were sched-
uled to 60 into action. once in Nor
