by that jinx-Bimelech Stagehand, Lawrin, Dauber and even Challedon himself.
 Certainly Whirlaway hasn't fought the fight that Seabiscuit did. Or that Sun Beau did. To him, 1t has been oats and hay and one triumph after another. His only real opposition has come from himself. That was during the brief spell last spring when he was the rible-tempered MT. Bangs of the tracks. He insisted on running wide.
 But big Ben Jones cured that quirk and since then the middling- sized son of crazy old Blenheim II has been on the high road. He won $'77,275 as a juvenile and another $272,386 at three. This year he picked up $20,000 in the Dixie but he hasn't had a chance yet to get really rolling. Even so, the ease with which he has won jolts the imagination.
 If my arithmetic is correct, hC has earned his $371,8l1 in approXi. mately an hour and seven minute! of actual elapsed running time Even the mint seldom knocks it of faster than that. Sure, 1t looks easy But it looks easy because Whirl- away is a horse among 100000 hores. To the really great per- former, almost anything looks pretty easy.
 Although Whirlaway hasn't been beset by injuries, he has had his tough raps occasionally. He lost the Arlington Classic to a second- flight horse and lost almost $40,- GOO with it. He lost the Jockey Club Gold Cup to Market Wise although he broke a North American record in losing. And he was cut out of a potential $150,000 during the win ter.
 Job To Do
 The closing of Santa Anita park robbed him ot that. Under normal circumstances, Whirlaway already would be over that hump. Instead, he is forced to go the hard way for

the first-and probably the last time-in his meteoric career. For once he passes the Biscuit" ;" Whirlaway won't be with us long. He has another job to do.
 He will be retired to domestic life and he will send up his sons to carry on where he leaves off. The happy ending in the saga should be provided around the middle of the summer. It should come in either the Butler or the Massachusetts Handicap. After that, Whirlaway's days will be numbered. He'll go back to his Bluegrass home.
 I'll be somewhat regretful the day Whirlaway passes the Biscuit, for the Biscuit was my horse among all horses. He won't be around to defend his crown, because he has retired to the domestic life him. self. But even in his absence his tradition will carry on. Whirlaway will beat his mark, but as with every horse who ever beat him, Whirl- away will have to break the all- time record to do 1t.

(Reg. U. s. Pat. Off) By JACK GUENTHER

United Press Staff Correspondent)
 New York, May 28-(UJP)-One of the closing chapters in the saga of fabulous horse will be sent to the binders this week. Whirlaway, the btlsh-tailed king of the turf, will stretch his royal legs in the $40,000 Suburban Handicap. Simultaneous ly, his many loyal admirers expect him to stretch his royal income be- yond $400,000.
 As odds on such affairs are rated, 1t is an even money proposition that the chestnut beauty from the Blue grass belt will do 1t. For that req son, the Memorial Day classic at beautiful Belmont should be truly historic. At last count the cannon ball of Calumet had raked in $371,- 8l1. A Suburban victory would put him over the hump.
 Only one horse ever won as much as $400,000. That was your friend, my friend, everybody's friend-the much travelled Seabiscuit. The old guy finally got up there after years of patient and painful climbing. His exact mark, highest in history, is $437,730. This puts him approxi- mately $66,000 ahead of Whirlaway, but only tentatively.
 For barring the hazards of a breakdown, which are present 24 house day, Whirlaway figures to cut the difference in half in the Suburban. He will have all the good ones to beat-Challedon, Midland, Market Wise, Attention and others but he has defeated them before and he should defeat them again. After that, 1t will be easy.
 No Jinx Yet
 There are some who say that for Whirlaway 1t always has been easy. He is probably the only one of the potentially great thoroughbreds of the last decade who hasn't been smacked by the jinx which always taints only the best. Dozens of fa- nous horses have been knocked out

WASHINGTON, July 3-Declaring that Alaska's economic stability and security is being threatened by price increases, Price Administrator Leon Henderson established special price fixing formula for the Terri tory today
 The maximum prices will cover all sales and deliveries to Alaskan purchasers of any commodity not produced there. Henderson said that special treatment is necessary be- cause of Alaska'S relative isolation and because of transportation diff culties.
 Under the formula, retail, whole sale and distributors maximum prices must be based on the direct cost, plus the markup which the seller included in his highest price
