WASHINGTON. Feb. u. -
France, il was learned on high au-
thority today, has given the United
States formal assurances that II
intends to remain neutral in the
war between this country and the
Axis.
The assurances have been given

to the strong American represen-
tations concerning French aid "a
the Axis forces in Libya.
Vichy. furthermore, has prom
lised not TO permit the shipment OF
any more trucks from French ter
ritory TO Italian Tripoli.
NAZI PROPAGANDA
Meantime, official sources
branded Paris d o reports as
German propaganda which stated
that the United States has de-
manded that France obtain prior
authorization from this govern
ment before moving any units Of
the French fleet from one base Il
another.
The Paris report was seen as 6
deliberate distortion of inquire:

CHICAGO. July 27 (UP) - A boy
had just brought in the sizzling
chickens on the flaming swords in
the Ambassadors swanky Pump
Room when Maj. Ednyfed H. Will
liams said, Right now 1 am more

horses.
Major Williams is a reserve Army
officer and chairman of the I'LL
nois racing board
Down through the years much
has been said about improving the
breed of horses in racing" he said.
But little has been done for the
welfare of jockeys-the key men
in the sport. Well, I'm concentrat-
ing on improving the conditions,
at least under which jockeys
work -
SMALL MAN, BIG MIND
70 one calls Chairman Williams
"Ednyfed' because hardly anyone
knows how 20 pronounce that old
country Welsh name. They just call
him Ed because he's that kind
of fellow-despite his Army and
commission titles, and despite the
fact that he Is one of Chicagos
most prominent attorneys.
Ed Williams is small man with
big mind, a chap who can forget
that he came up the hard way.
Born in the coal-mining town of
Bethesda. Wales. he was taken TO
a Minnesota farm at the age of
four. A kid who never liked the
good earth except when he and his
brothers were racing their horses
back from plowing. he hit out for
hostile cities and carved out an ed
ucation. That's little Ed Williams.

derance of white in his heavy
skull-thatch
TALK OF HORSEMEN
We expected the racing commits
sioner to talk of Shut Out and
his dramatic victory in Saturdays
Arlington classic that clinched the
three -year-old crown. But he never
mentioned Shut Out. He talked
only of jockeys and of gypsy
horsemen.
Williams, as chairman of the
Illinois racing board, has one of the

most important racing posts in the
country But it is post that gives
only prestige to the man who oc-
cupies 1t, because it pays neither
salary nor expenses. He was made
chairman last year. But he was ap-
pointed on six-year- basis. No
matter what he does They can't
toss me out" he says.
Because of this feeling of inde-
pendence and because he loves and
knows horse racing, he accepted
the job and started his reforms.
They key men in racing are the
Jockeys little Ed explained.
Regardless of the abilities of the
horses, unless they are ridden pro-
perly they won't win. They're hon
est because of their love of the
sport rather than because of any,
thing racing has done for them"
SOME MAKE MONEY
Exceptional jockeys make a lot
of money-boys like Meade, Arcaro,
etc. but most of them don't. When
l took office, many of the riders
were making only $40 or SIS week.
They were desperate for money in
a sport that offers multitude of
opportunities for dishonesty. 1 tried
TO help them and will continue to
do So"
When Williams took over, jockeys
in Illinois were getting $25 for
winning ride, and $40 for finishing
any place else. He changed that.
Now the winning rider receives $35,
the place rider gets SIS and the
show jockey SIS. The others receive
$40.
He forced the tracks to pay for
the jocks laundry-no small item
when busy rider has to change
his silks for every race. He makes
the tracks provide insurance for
the boys in their hazardous calling,
where a tumble in the stretch
usually means death or permanent
injury.

IT has become more and more
that pitching plays an
awfully large part in winning soft
ball games. OF course the chuckers
must needs have a fair to middlin
group behind them in the field but
in the long run it's the type of
efforts that they display that tell
the difference.
Take the top three teams i'm
the Il league. The City of FL
Centre and the Imperial Irriga-
ton District office have both
won seven games and lost two
mainly because of their fine
pitching. Dick Wyatt has been
hurIing masterful ball for the
office bunch while Carl Jack
son has been doing his bit for
the City. Jackson has a one
hitter to his credit while Wyatt
has held the opposition down
just about every time he has
worked. Last week Wyatt was
unable to be present for game
SO Tunney Williams, regular
infieldcr subbed in the box and
gave up but three bingles. 1t is
this type of pitching that puts
the team over.
Now right behind the two leaders
is the Acme team. They have wor
their games mainly by slugging The
apple and tight fielding. Bob Nc
Call, their manager, really makes
them hustle when in the field. OF
course they're constant threat tc
the top teams but they don't have
the pitching that the other two
have. Bill williams, their chucker
has improved lot lately but he
still doesn't quite draw the team
up to the top.
