In four successive handicaps

Cadillac Handicap, the first time
she hadn't had the winners circle
to herself.
Today Mrs, Ed McCuan's color

Liberty Handicap, a $500 sprint
at six furlongs, which tops the
Fourth of July card. She has been
assigned top weight of 119 POUNDS

Reserve Board Warn!

British Resources
Amount Already Spent
In U. S. for War Goods
Cont Be Determined .
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
The Federal Reserve Board eau
toned the public today against over
estimating the resources available to
the British Empire for purchase Of
American war materials.
No mention was made, however,
of President Roosevelt's proposal to
lend" materials to the British after
their cash payments for current
orders cease.
The board discussed British assets
in monthly bulletin which estimat-
ed at that the beginning of the war
the empire had $7,115,000,000 worth
of gold, securities and other assets
theoretically available to pay for
American purchases.
Amount Used Unknown.
After saying that it could not tell
how much of these assets had been
used up, the board said:
THE situation cannot, however,
be adequately presented in terms Of
such figures. In the first place
there is no one figure that really
measures British dollar resources.
Then it explained that some of
the wealth in the empire belonged
to other nations, that some Of the Sc.
curities-although intrinsically valu-
able-had no immediate market,
that gold held on the other side of
the Atlantic might be sunk en- route
here and that other assets might
lose much of their apparent value
if they had to be sold in relatively
short period of time and swamp the
markets.
Large Sums Pledged.
Of the remaining empire assets,
the board said much Of these al
ready have been pledged for pay
ment of contracts when the pur-
chased airplanes or other materials
are delivered.
Another possible empire source of
dollar assets was said to be invest
ments In Latin America and else
where, but possibilities of this sort
appear to be limited"
An authoritative source high in
United States governmental circles
estimated three weeks ago that
Great Britain had placed about
$4,000 100000 worth of orders for
munitions and materiel in this
country on a cash-and-carry basis.

British Tank Corps
Prepares 10 Invade
Nazi-He|d Territory
Exercises Are Projected
Based on English 'BIitz'
In West Egypt Desert
By GEOFFREY TEBBUTT.

SOMEWHERE IN ENGLAND, Jan.
10 N.AN.A).-Inspired by the sue
cess of the armored divisions in Egypt
and Libya, the Royal Armored Corps
here is strenuously building up its
strength to be in readiness both to
meet an invasion by the Germans
and to undertake an invasion If
Britain is able to strike first against
Germany.
The tactics which crushed the
Italians in the Western African
desert are the same as those en-
ployed here at home. In fact, it was
necessary to make risky drain
upon the strength of Britain at a
critical moment in order to reinforce
the army in Egypt.
There is delight in the tank regi-
ments that everything went accord
ing to the book and that the gospel
of concentration prevailed. Detailed
technical reports of the British drive
in Africa are anxiously awaited, and
the tank gunnery school Is already
planning its January exercises to be
based on this British "blitz" in the
desert.
Deny Nazis Teach Them Anything.
Holding that their doctrine has
been vindicated by the desert CAM
paign, the tank specialists repudiate
the suggestion that they have any,
thing to learn from the Germans in
the use of tanks.
The Germans in Flanders did
nothing new" a tank brigadier gen.
eral told me in the course of three
day visit to various units of the
armored corps spread out over
Southern England. They were our
ideas. But the Germans took them
and put them in practice on a tre-
mendous scale"
Britain therefore aims at some
thing bigger and better than the
German "Panzer" divisions, which
are the corps d'elite of the German
Army-picked men trained to with
stand the rigors of the rougest and
most eXacting branch of soldering
Britain's tank strength must still
be much below Germanys, especially
as the British lost nearly 500 tanks
in France, but new divisions are
rapidly forming and production is
said to be satisfactory. The armored
corps needs all the skilled men 1t
can get. 1t has had to compete
with both industry and other arms
for the services of technicians.
Nevertheless. many men without
civilian mechanical experience are
being intensively trained in tanks.
I met one recruit who had been
a grave digger for 13 years before
being called up in the army.

desert proved the worth of the
