ROCKINGHAM
 RUMBLES

When Mike Hastings quarter horse Dog Gone scampered a quar- ter mile in the slop Friday in 2s sec- oIids a world of conversation was opened among the race trackers present. To begin with there were those who insisted the clocking was 25.3. And taking into consideration track conditions and the fact the horse carried close to 150 pounds in the shape of Miss Tad Lucas, a heavy western saddle, fnartingale, heavy pads and all else this is most remarkable.
 The race proved so interesting,
 attracting an extra large crowd despite the abnormal weather con- ditions which prevailed, that Lou
 Smith, for the New Hampshire Jockey club, and Walter Brown, for the Boston Garden, have de- cided to make 1t all annual event.
 And mayhap there will be Q change in conditions to make 1t even more interesting.
 Apprentice J. Datillo continues the top rider here at the Rock as of Fri day. The youngster has had 42 trips into the winners circle while Walter Lee Taylor made 36 visits. Teddy At- kinson ranked third with S5 to hls credit while George Hettinger ranked fourt with 22 to his credit.
 With i2 winners George Alexan- der topped the list of trainers. Ed- die Haughton was chasing him with l2 and w. E. Collins had II. It's a tight race in this depart ment.
 When Trainer Sol Rutchick de- cided to give Mort Stuarts Watch Over a well earned rest at L.. M. Nimkoff's 5omerville; N. J., farm, he still lost a stall room in his area. He received the two-year-olds Lease Lend and Lonlang from J. J. John ston, whose farm Stoneham, is ct Watertown, N. Y.

coming along that dark street. It

That isn't all, David?"
No. Fabier had held up Car
mody-for the plans of the anti
aircraft gun. Carmody put up a
struggle at the last moment, and
Faoier's gun went off. Carmody
was slightly wounded. Fabier, scared,
dropped the gun and fled. Der
ringer returned, found Carmody un-
conscious. He took the gun and
fired the fatal shot. He hated Car
mody with a real live hatred. Then
he set out to get the plans from
Fabier for he knew where he could
sell them in Europe for s250000."
Nan shivered. She said: How
did you learn all this, David?"

Hildreth lived and would testify

knew she had them
That, then, was that.

He'd say good-by now and go out

Recommendation Refused.
It was then noted that a contro-
versy concerning the terms and
conditions of employment" had
arisen between the company and
it's workers, that the dispute had
been certified to the National De-
fense Mediation Board, and that
"the company has refused to ac-
cept" a settlement formula recon-
mended by the board, which in
cluded a maintenance Of union
membership clause.
As a result of this refusal, the or
der continued, construction OF the
vessels was interrupted by strike,
objectives of the May 81 declaration
"are jeopardized", and "immedi-
ate resumption" of operations of the
plant "is essential to the defense OF
the United States" 1t is further
essential under the circumstances,
the order went on, that such oper-
alton be under control OF the
Federal Government.
Virtually blank check was given
the Secretary of the Navy for the
task of occupying and operating the
plant" through and with the aid
of such person or persons or in
strumentality as may be des-
ignated", with production to be
accomplished by doing "al things
necessary or incidental to that end"
In the only recent precedent for
this action, the President several
months ago ordered seizure OF the
North American Aviation Co. plant
in California, the step at that time
being directed in effect at striking
workers, whereas, in the present
case the implication Of blame is
being directed at the management.
Occupation of the North American
plant was accomplished by Regular
Army units with a War Department
representative sitting in with the
plants own management during
succeeding weeks of resumed opera
tions Later, the plant was returned
without conditions to its private
ownership and management.
President Roosevelt's initial in
tervention in the dispute came
early this week when he wrote to
Mr.. Korndoff and to John Green,
head of the union, appealing to them
to continue negotiations and to seek

Taylor at White House.
On Thursday, the President con-
ferred at the White House with Mr..
Korndoff and Myron Taylor, re-
tired head of the United States
Steel Corp, parent company OF the
shipbuilding concern, following this,
Mr.. Korndoff and Mr.. Taylor met
with Secretary Knox, associate O..
P. M. Director Sidney Hillman and
Mediation Board Chairman William
H. Davis.
Finally later that day, all of this
group, plus Mr.. Green, returned
to the White House to receive a
new plea from the President for
resumption of negotiations between
the company and the union. This
resumption took place in Wash
ington on Thursday night but a
final breakdown came yesterday
and it became clear that extreme
Government action would be neces-
sary to effect reopening OF the
plant.
Meanwhile the President informed
parties to the negotiations, and
had told a press conference here
yesterday, that the Government
did not desire to take over the
plant if it could be avoided.
Authorization of this step came
today, however, after he had con-
suited with labor advisers in Wash
ington by telephone and had re-
ceived positive advices from both
sides in the negotiations that no
settlement appeared possible

Extra Gasoline
In Cars Held
To Peril Lives
BY the Associated Press.


RICHMOND, Va, Aug. 23.-Col.
M. S. Battle, director of the Stats
Division of Motor Vehicles, warned
today that the practice of carrying
an extra supply of gasoline in auto
mobiles might bring the occupants
horrible injury or death" in case
of accident.
There is evidence that some
motorists are carrying an extra
supply of gasoline in containers in
their car" said Col. Battle. This
is practice that Is fraught with
much danger. An accident of any
kind that spills gasoline adds to the
fire hazard with resulting property
damage if not horrible injury or
death"
Commenting further on the gaso-
line situation, the director said, The
division feels that people are getting
a little panicky as there seems to
be enough gas in sight to take care
of normal needs.
Indications of gas boarding were
seen in the heavy sales here of
containers.
