There was never any question
about the winner. The Count took
right out in front. as Blue Swords
took up the early chase. For a few
yards New Moon moved up to sec
ond, but before the field rounded
the first turn and moved into the
backstretch the Moon had set. At
that point the Count had a five
length lead and Longden already
was looking back at the others. The
rest was just a waltz.
A total of $147,356 was bet on the
field of four-smallest field since
1889. OF this $66,248 was sent into
the mutuels on the Count.

board listed Count Fleet at l to S,
with Vincentive, '"the home town

at 45-l.
AS the first race went to the post,
Pimlico's yellow and white stands

May Doubts Probers
Have Grounds 10 Cite
Monroe in CONTEMPT
House Committee Head
Expects Mrs. Smith Will
Be Recalled Wednesday

Chairman May this afternoon
said he frankly doubted"
whether his House Military Af-
fairs Committee had sufficient
grounds to recommend contempt
proceedings against John P.
Monroe, the manufacturers
agent whose widely publicized
parties at 2101 R street NV. have
been the subject of a Today in
vestigation.
Representative May made the
statement after cursory examina-
tion OF the official transcript of Mr.
Monroe's testimony before the COM
mittee Thursday during which futile
efforts were made to learn the iden-
tity of the New Deal officials" he
had previously charged had warned
him he was to be framed" and
"persecuted"
Repeated questioning of Mr.. Mon
roe, both in public and in executive
session of the committee, failed to
produce the information. He
claimed he just did not remember
the names of these officials. And
when he left the witness stand a
threat of contempt of the House
hung over his head.
Frankly. I am in grave doubt
whether we have grounds for a con-
tempt citation against Mr.. Monroe
for his loss of memory" Representa-
tive May declared. However, am
going to confer with the lawyer
members of the committee Monday
morning and get their advice before
proceeding further"
Representative May also indicated
he may set date Monday for an
other meeting of the committee for
resumption of the inquiry into the
parties in the ur-story r street
house, at which time another op-
portunity would be given Mrs. Eula
Smith to testify. Mrs. Smith, whom
Mr.. Monroe has admitted in his tes-
timony is on his payroll, also on her
first appearance before the commit
tee refused to answer questions.
Mr.. Monroe talked freely Thurs
day, the second time he appeared
before the committee, but suffered q
loss Of memory when questioned
about the New Deal officials" who
he had said tipped him of he was to
be smeared.
representative May said the COM
mittee may recall Mrs. Smith Wed
nesday and limited that he expected
further disclosures concerning the
activities at 2101 r street NV. He
revealed that committee investiga-
tors are now at work attempting to
gather data to be used In the ex-
animation of Mrs. Smith.

By Two-Fifths Second
Vincentive Is Third
BY the Associated Press.

PIMLICO RACE TRACK, Bal
timore, May Count Fleet won
the Preakness Stakes today. Blue
Swords was second, eight lengths
behind the leader, and Vincen-
tive was third, another Az
lengths farther back. The Count,
winner of the Kentucky Derby
week ago, ran the mile and
ee-sixteenths in 1:572s-just
two-flfths of a second off the
stake record and one second off
the track record for the dis
tance.
Taking the lead from the break,
under Johnny Longdens handling,
he led from end to end and won as
he pleased, with Longden easing him
up the last eight of a mile.
The victory was worth $43,l90 to
Mrs. John D. Hertzs tall rangy colt
and boosted his earnings for two
years of racing to $2O2, ,260.
Shortest Preakness favorite since
1889, the Count returned $3.50 for
each 50 win ticket and the absolute
minimum of s210 to place. Blue
Swords was $40 to place There
was no show betting in this field of
four-cut from five by the overnight
scratch of Radio Morale.
Battle Was for Second.
The only battle, as was expected,
was for second place, and Blue
Swords, who trailed the Count in
both the Wood Memorial and Ken

away from Vincentive in the stretch
drive after the latter had ranged up
alongside at the three-eighth pole

House Unit PASSAGE
Of New Lease-Lend

Six Billion Added Needs
Thoroughly Justified
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
A new lease-lend appropriation of
approximately S6000,000,000 ap-
peared today to have the approval
of House Appropriations Subcom-
mittee
With hearings on the request COM
pleted, Representative Cannon,
Democrat, of Missouri, chairman of
both the Deficiency Subcommittee
and the full committee, declared
that the outline of the lease lend
administrations needs had been
scrutinized carefully, "and, in my
opinion, they are thoroughly JUS
titled"
Another committee member
Representative Snyder, Democrat, of
Pennsylvania-said that lease-lend
food distributed in North Africa had
played an important part in speed
ing the victory of the United Ma
tions there.
After getting the inside facts on
what lease-lend has accomplished
on both the morale and militant
fronts, particularly in North Africa, -"
Mr.. Snyder said, II am doubly in
favor of giving Administrator Ed :
ward R. Stettinius, whom I think is
the proper man to handle it, this
money and more if he deems it
necessary.
Il am convinced that supplying
food alone in North Africa to the
100000 Inhabitants saved the lives
of thousands of our boys there in
the last six months .-.
1t was learned that Mr.. Stettinius
presented detailed outline of the
expanded operations of lease lend
in North Africa, especially. and the
resulting drain on funds and
supplies .r.
Congress has appropriated ap-
proximately S18,400. .0O0, 900 of direct
lease-lend funds thus far. Repre-
sentative Cannon said Mr.. Stettinius
had informed the committee that,
of this sum, there was approximately
$4,000, 100000 still unspent. The
Appropriations Committee expects
to send the lease-lend bill to the
House floor in about 10 days.

NEW YORK, May 8.-Gen.
Dwight Eisenhower declared to-
day in presenting American
lease-lend equipment to Gen.
Henri Honore Giraud at Allied
headquarters in North Africa
that "the only Axis soldiers left
on African soil soon will be in
their graves or prison camps"
Both Allied leaders spoke in a

Eisenhower read a message from
President Roosevelt in which the
President said:
"Our soldiers look forward to the
days ahead when the weapons being
transferred today and those being
forged in ever growing quantities
will, in their hands and In those of
our Allies. strike increasingly heavy
blows upon the common enemy until
final victory is won"
Gen. Eisenhower declared that the
American produced equipment was
"only a small portion of that already
here and coming" and said it had
been produced "by the sacrifice and
devotion of America, whose mil
lions of men. women and children
have joined their hands and their
hearts in this great war for human
freedom"
The Presidents message, as read
by Gen. Eisenhower, follows:
American workers, whose labor is
devoted to turning out arms and
military equipment for the defend

that the fruits of their labor be
placed in the hands of those imbued

Nazi Tank Strenqth
Diverted by Feint
Before Big Drive
Bulk of German Force
Had Been Shifted to
Defend Pont du Fohs
BY holland NORGAARD.
Associated Press War Correspondent.


WITH BRITISH FORCES ON
THE TUNIsIAN FRONT, May 8.
Taking advantage of decep-
tion which pulled the bulk of
German tanks in North Africa
we'll out of their path, British
armored forces s1ashed swiftly
through Tunis and today were
chasing the retreating enemy to
his last refuge on the African
continent-Cap Bon Peninsula.
The deception succeeded better
than Allied commanders had dared
to hope.
Tunis was captured with astonish-
ing swiftness and ease thanks to the
stratagem which left virtually all
that remained of two crack Nazi
armored divisions still concentrated
far south of the main point of the
British attack, awaiting what they
had obviously believed would be an
onslaught from another direction.
Inc lst Army, bolstered by sew
eral armored and infantry units
from Gen. Sir Bernard I. Mont
gomery's 9Th Army, took the obvious
and logical road to Tunis-straight
down the broad, open valley from
Medjez- Ell Bah.
For two weeks before starting the
march to the sea, powerful British
tank columns were working their
way forward from Bou Arada east
ward against Pont du Fahs. This
feint succeeded. The German COM
mander concentrated what remained
of his 10th and 21st Armored Divi-
sions to meet the threat there.
Undoubtedly the Nazi commander
regretted that decision today.
While the 1st and 9th Army tank
units, closely supported by infantry,
pushed their way through meager
opposition to Tunis and then charged
on to cut the German avenues of
retreat to Cap Bon, most of the Axis
tanks were battling another British
