Odum had refused Jocky Don Meade permission to ride Little Beans in the run for the roses but insisted instead that he remain at Jamaica.
 Rocco Palladino, owner of the New England colt, insisted he had not been notified formally of Oduma decision and that he would not make a statement. However, tha Boston night club owner was report ed ready to call on Eddie Smith. who has handled Little Beans in Q half dozen races before.
 The Meade incident was the only one to disturb the tranquility of the morning. Despite predictions of rain, the threat of a muddy track failed to daunt the trainers who have nursed their young horses through two years of success and failure on the chance that this will be the year they can hit the $75 1000 jackpot of the nations foremost sport specta- cle.
 Generally speaking, this disregard of the weather wasn't without rea- son.
 For this year only one three-year. old in the mile and a quarter spin doesn't relish the prospect of slushy footing. That one is Robert Morris, who has shown notable dislike for mud the only time he tried It., All others have proved ability and Por. ter's Cap runs better in goo than in anything else.

Serious home work was washed up yesterday and only blow-outs and leisurely jogs were in order as the dead line of the big shop approached. Each trainer has stated that his respective charge iD as fit as can be expected.
 No Favorite
 Railbirds disagreed as to what horse would be installed as favorite when the parade to the post Is call- ed around, 5:30 p. m. tomorrow. Some held out for Porter's Gap and others for Our Boots, who lead tha list in the future books. But many o dle-hard clung to Whirlaway de- spite his recent defeats.
 The odds on Dispose, Swain, Ro. bert Morris, Market Wise, Valdina Paul, Staretor, Little Beans and Blue Pair are expected to range anywhere from 5-l to 100-1. J. J. Flanigan, trainer for Einer- son Wodoward's vast Valdina farm in Texas, nominated Valdina Paul. who IS expected to be the longest shot in the Derby field.

Rhode Island $lO,OOO Race Scheduled
 For Saturday

Pawtucket, R. l., May 2.-Glen Riddle Farms The Finest, Q 4-year old chestnut son of Teddy-Appeal, rates top billing in the $l0,0oo added Rhode Island Handicap, &C., cording to the weight assignments released by Racing Secretary Bob Shelley today. While Shelley has assigned 122 pounds to Peterborough and 1l8 pounds to Hypnotist II, this Belair Stud entry Is not ex- pected to ship here from New York and The Finest, with a package of l16 pounds, is top-welghted of the field expected to face Starter Wing field.
 Of the 25 originally nominated for this stake, a classy round dozen will accept the issue for the gruel- ling mile and an eighth test. On the basis of recent accomplish ments att his meeting, the Glen Riddle Farms entry of The Finest and Tall Story, looms most for midable. The Finest has made two winning starts at Gansett, winning the Newport Purse on April 18th, defeating handy bunch of sprint CTS in this six furlongs dash. He came back on April 24th to run a winning mile and seventy yards through the slop to defeat Forever Prince, The Rage and Side Arm. The Son of Teddy-Appeal Is at tops right now and will have the benefit of the veteran Tommy Luth- CT in the saddle. The other half of the Glen Riddle entry, Tall Story has been assigned IA pounds.

Meade Refused Permission To Ride h1 Derby
Porter's Cap, Our Boots, Bob Morris In Derby
Towards Luck
 Is Expected To Hold At Downs
BY HARRY CRIMSON NEA Service Sports Editor

Louisville, May 2-Our Boots may be Bull Dog which can go the route when challenged, but that Sunday workout by Porter's Cap a mile and a quarter in 2:04 4-5 with 130 pounds on his back-was additional evidence that Charles $. Towards phenomenal luck will hold in the 67th running of the Ken lucky Derby, May 3.
 This handicapper's figures say Porter's Cap will be trailed by Our Boots and Robert Morris, the latter winner of the Excelsior Handicap at Jamaica.
 Six must be conceded chance, the others being Market Wise, sur- prise victor in the Wood Memorial; Dispose, the Hialeah star, and tem- peramental Whirlaway. Staretor and Swain may be considered dark horses.
 It's wide open race.
 Little Beans, Blue Pair, Agricoie, Valdina Groom and Valdina Paul are still listed. That would give the big number at Churchill Downs field of 13, but not more than 10 are expected to go,
 Because the Derby long has been Americas top sports spectacle, Col. Matt Vim may realize his lifetime ambition by seeing 100000 persons jamed into the ramshackle old stands, clubhouse and in the !ll- field.
 Defense work has swelled Louis- ville's population by 30,000, so If you haven't made arrangements prepare for the worst in the way of accommodations.
 With an added value of $75,000, and more than $6o,000 going to the fortunate owner, the Derby has its richest purse distribution in his- tory.

PORTER'S CAP FOLLOWS CAYALCADE, WAR ADMIRAL

Porter's Cap was a colt of cour- age and class, magnificently train ed, when he was loaded with run after rambling a mile and fur long on a heavy track with l20 pounds up in 1:54 2-5 to win the $62,475 Santa Anita Derby by four lengths.
 California's celebrated climate having performed an act of magic on Porter's Cap, racegoers on the golden slope, to be certain, asked the son of The Porter and The Blonde for one winning effort away from home.

AFL Meeting
 Prepares To End Sessions

End Sessions 14O Resolutions To Be Acted On Before Con-
 vention Adjournment
 Close to $50 delegates to the 61st A.F.L. cOnv entiOn prepared to wind up their business in Se- attle this week by passing on the 40 resolutions submitted to them and electing a new execu- tive council.
 The greatest number of the proposed resolutions, 37, deal with increased wages and better working conditions for govern ment employees. Four ask that State and municipal bodies rec ognize labor's rights and bar gain collectively as private indus try is required to do.
 TO OK. F.D.R. FOREIGN
 POLICY
 President Roosevelt's foreign pol icy is supported by seven, and IS ex- pected to be approved overwhelming ly. Others oppose anti-strike legis- lation, ask representation for labor on Federal defense bodies and request an end to racial discrimination. A group of resolutions ask extension of the Social Security laws to groups not covered by the present statute. Improvement and extension of the wage-hour law is also sought.
 The Brotherhood of Sleeping Gar Porters introduced resolutions to seek anti-lynching legislation and the outlawing of the poll tax.
 The delegates were most responsive to the speeches made by Secretary of Labor Frances E. Perkins and Gov. Harold E. Stasson, (R) Michigan, among the guests.
 MEANING LINDBERCH
 Stasson had received rising ovation to his words, "He who kindles the flames of intolerance and bitterness lights fire under his own house. The strong re- action of the American people against recent attempts to stir up group hatreds has been one of the encouraging indications of the real strength of unity in America"
 Those parts of Madam Perkins speech which were most discussed, dealt with the growing industrial ac- cident rates and the attitude of the press to organized labor.
 MRS. PERKINS SPEAKS
 The Secretary of Labor told the delegates that the press printed only the shortcomings of labor and not fhe good the labor movement accom- plishes.
 The loss of working time through accidents was far greater danger to defense, her figures stressed, than working time lost through strikes. Her departments conciliation service worked to prevent strikes rather than to settle them after they were called. Since January 1 last, the conciliation service had prevented 1,O68 threatened strikes.
 Two constitutional changes were approved by the convention. The first cut the per capita tax paid by inter- national unions to the parent body by one-half cent per member per month. The new schedule calls for one and a half cents per member per month up to 3OO,OOO members. For members over that figure one cent will be paid. Local and Federal unions directly responsible to the Washington office will pay 351z per member per month instead of 36.
 The other change cut the number of vice-presidents on the Executive Council from Is to B. Actually only one will have to be dropped at the present time.

The nations banks this week were ordered to salt away $1,20O,00O,O0O more of their cash, to be neither loaned nor invested. The regulation was issued by the Federal Reserve Board as an anti-infation move. It IS designed to curb speculation.
 Noting that this brings bank re- serves up to the limit permitted by law, the board served notice that if its action does not curb imitation Con- gresS will be asked for additional power.
 The board said that banks would still have ample free" cash to meet all legitimate credit needs.

JOINT COMMITTEES

These joint committees are compoS- ed of an equal number of employer representatives and labor, with the public represented by the State Ap- premiership Council and the local representative of the Federal Com mittee on Apprenticeship.

 MT.
