Valdina Orphan
 Market Wise Will Run At Rockingham

Salem, N. H., June 25.-Valdina Orphan, conQueror of Shut Out last weekend in the Dwyer Stakes at Aqueduct, and Market Wise, con- queror of Whirlaway In the subur. ban Handicap earlier in the year, are two of the name horses expect. ed to play @ leading role in the l8-day summer meeting which will start at Rockingham Park on July 20.
 Market Wise, the bargain base- ment horse now quarreling with the handicap horses, found his rac- Whirlaway for the championship oS ing legs and his winning ways here at Rockingham Park last summer. The water and the air and the climate of state which is famous for all three Gas any Chamber of Commerce in the state will duly at- test and depose) seemed to agree with Lou Tufanos star, to such an extent that he won the traditional Rockingham Park Handicap on the closing day of the meeting and then went out into the world to win the $50,0O0 Gold Cup from Whirlaway and become one of the outstanding three year olds of the turf.
 George Washington Carroll, the little man who trains him, has as. sured Lou Smith, the head-man of Rockingham Park, that his crack colt will return here to sniff the air and sip the waters and prepare himself for the showdown races with Whirlaway later in the sea- son.
 Stall- Space Scarce
 As. usual, there are more horses than there are stalls. Lou Smith had intended to build new barns this year, to accommodate the ever growing demands of horsemen for stall space, but such things as priorities reared their ugly heads and the construction work was postponed until after the war. Rac- ing Secretary John Purcell Turner has had the unwelcome task of denying stall applications for hun- dreds of horses, on the ground that you can't hang them up on a hook. SO EtOCkALlBHd1H 1ASeb U1lIl4dIlU racing season, with each one of the 1000-odd stalls already reserved for a meeting which will not start until three weeks from Monday.

The barn area already is open, under Stall Superintendent Dominick LaBraico, for the recep- ton of thoroughbreds. The racing strip already is in fine condition. thanks to an unsung genius named Tony Silva who superintends the grounds and gives loving care to both the green, growing things and the brown ribbon of road over which the races are run.

 To accentuate the youth" theme, Marvin will pilot his faithful 16- year old trotter Guy Yerkes and Flynn will rely on his 17-year old pacer Tramp Union in the three heat test over 8 half-mile course under auspices of the Old Colony Driving club.
 There will be no purse at stake, but 1t is reported that a little side bet has been arranged in the set- clement of the dispute which de- veloped last winter over the driv- ing merits of the two veterans of the harness circuit.

.SoInerveII Says Aid
To Small Plants Must

But Promises Such Firms
Will Get Simple Items
Wherever Practicable
BY the Associated Press.

Existing war production lines will

to place work with small plants

ate Small Business Committee today
However, the chief of the Army's

ators simple items" would be

Meanwhile, Representative Kop-

defense program of the concentra.
ton Of work in few industries.
New Bottleneck Cited.
Even with legislation designed tc
relieve the situation and authorize
Federal loans to aid small business
he declared, I'VE now find another
severe bottleneck in that the, Wal
and Navy Department must first
award the contracts to small in

obtain loans.
Ever since we permitted con-
tracts to be negotiated instead OF
competed for, in the interest OF
speed" Mr.. Kopplemann continued
"the Army and Navy have notorious
ly passed up the little fellows In
awarding contracts"
Gen. Somervell summed up the
War Departments production policy
as follows:
The production load must be
spread over the broadest base prac-
ticable through increased prime con-
tracing and subcontracting in order
to meet requirements of our troops
on schedule.
Simple Items to Small Plants.
Simple items will be placed with
smaller plants wherever practicable
IN order to allow more capacity fo,
production of complicated items ir
the larger plants.
Existing production lines must
not be slowed down or stopped ir
order to place the work with small
plants not now having war work
where such action will interfere with
deliveries to troops.
wherever practicable, work mus
be gradually transferred from con.
gested areas to areas having a sur.

getting the best price.
The local rationing boards ad-
vised motorists to keep their best
tires and sell the least serviceable
1t was stressed that the Government
wants the extra tires no matter what
their condition.
If tire is in such condition that
1t must be repaired, the Government
will deduct the cost of repairs from
the price paid for the tire. If the
tire is not usable it will be bought
as scrap.
The tires will be collected in 100
warehouses throughout the country,
under direction of the Rubber Re
serve Corp, which has advanced
$150,O00, 900 for the tire-buying pro-
gram.
The OPA does not require motor
lists to surrender extra inner tubes.
although these will be bought if the
motorists care to turn them in.
Nor are truck or motorcycle own
ers required to turn in extra tires,
although the Government will buy
both truck and motorcycle tires
and inner tubes.
The checkup on motorists, to
make certain that they have sold
to the Government all tires in ex-
cess Of Ave, will be made late this
month when new applications are
distributed for basic "A" cards.
This is expected to start about
October 27 On that date, motorists
in the Eastern area will have to OBJ
tain from local service stations new
applications for "a cards.
These applications must be mailed
to local rationing boards. Along with
the applications must be sent a tire
inspection report and certificate
stating that the applicant owns no
more than five tires per car.
For falsifying the certificate re-
earding extra tires, severe penalties
are provided.
A $1.50 minimum price has been
set for fourth category" tire, one
.useable only as basic carcass for
retreading or recapping. An sl1.l5
maximum will be paid for 7.00x16
