Betting on Dog Races
In Florida Presages
Banner Turf Season
By the Associated Press.

~ tuc <AooOCletcO SIeS8.
MIAMI, Fla, Nov. 23.-All the
signs point that way and railbirds
will give you odds that Florida horse
racing. suspended for all but Is
days last season because of the
pleasure driving ban, is coming back
bigger and better than ever.
The new 100-day season, four days
longer than in previous years, opens
at Tropical Park December IS and
racing onicials expect 800 to 1000
horses on hand and plenty of Gus
toners with cash in pocket.
Noted Stables Sending Horses.
Horses from some of the leading
stables are arriving by the dozens
daily and advance requests for boxes
at Tropical are larger than at any
time in the past.
Similar good omens are reported
from swank Hialeah which has the
preferred dates and will offer fatter
purses.
Particularly encouraging to the
turf crowd is dog race betting which
usually parallels play on the horses
though on a smaller scale. The
only track yet open, West Flagler,
had an attendance of 1896 and
total play of $4,000 the first three
nights, compared with 8,517 and
$167,11 year ago.
When the pleasure driving ban
struck last season fans were left
with no means of getting to the
races since neither track has ade-
quate bus service and the ODT
wouldn't permit special train serv-
ice to Hialeah. Fans, owners and
track operators alike are counting
this year on the three gallon a
week "a" card allowance to motor
lists, which they may use as they see
fit, to get the crowds to the races.
Owners Show Confidence.
The owners in particular are dis
playing confidence in this solution
by sending their stables here despite
the fact that many had their horses
stranded last season when the blow
fell.
The State Of Florida is manifest
ing a keen interest. The State
harvested 1892 900 in racing taxes,
mostly from the horses, during the
record 1941-1942 season.
With Tropical operating only Is
days and dog racing curtailed, the
States take dropped to $1,066, 900

Stephens TO
Hang Friday

Detroit, June 30-CUP)-Arrang
ments proceeded swiftly today for
the hanging Friday of German
born Max Stephan, but the con-
demned traitor and his attorneys
held to slender hope that Presi-
dent Roosevelt would grant execu-
tive clemency.
Stephan, former Detroit restau-
rant owner convicted of helping an
escaped German prisoner of war,
and his attorneys pinned their
hopes chiefly on the decision of the
U. S. Circuit Court of Appeals at
Chicago reversing the treason con-
victionS of six persons, three of
whom faced the death penalty.
THE Chicago appeal" said James
E. McCabe, counsel for Stephan,
was based partially on the argu-
ments we made in the Stephan case.
In view of the courts decision there,
we are hopeful for good news"
Unless Mr.. Roosevelt interveneS
Stephan will be hanged between
midnight Thursday and a. m. Fri
day in the courtyard within the red
brick walls of the Milan, Mich, fed
eral correctional institute where he
has been confined since his convic-
ton last June 2. 1t will be the first
treason execution under the federal
law. John Brown of Harper's Ferry
fame was hanged for treason, but
his conviction and sentence were
under Virginia law.

Conferees Set
On OutIowinq
RoIIbock Idea
BY JOHN L. CUTTER

(Unlted PreSS StaIt correspondent
Washington, June 30.-CUP)-
House and Senate conferees stood
firm today on their determine
ton to outlaw the administrators
food price rollback program despite
a War Labor Board warning that
such course "gravely affects the
wage sterilization program"
The WLB statement, carrying an
implication that elimination of sub
sides to control food prices may
jeopardize the Little Steel wage for
mula, was issued few hours before
conferees agreed on a compromise
of anti-subsidy measures already ap-
proved by both the House and the
Senate.
The subsidy plan was attached to
bill extending for two years the
life of Commodity Credit Corpora
ton, which expires at midnight I'M
less the compromise is approved be-
fore then by both the House and
Senate.
The compromise would:
l. OUTLAW subsidies to predeces-
sor through which the Office OF
Price Administration cut the retail
price of butter five cents a pound
on June /, the price of beef an az
erage of three cents pound
on June Is, and plans to cut coffee
prices starting next Monday.
2. Sanction CCC programs of in
centive payments or subsidies al
ready under way to increase pro-
duction of tomatoes, corn, peas and
beans for canning, and potatoes,

fats, and authorize expenditure up

Strikes
Returd Coal
Mine Output
By United Press

New WalkoutS, accompanied by
picketing, further retarded produc-
ton of war-vital coal in Pennsyl-
vania bituminouS fields today, while
a slight improvement was recorded
in the back-to-Work movement
among soft coal miners in Alabama.
Central Pennsylvania remained
the hub of the revolt of United Mine
Workers members against orders of
their leaders to go back into the pits
until Oct. 81 in the deadlocked wage
negotiations. Only about $1,000 of
the regions $4,000 miners were be-
lieved working today, while out of
the whole states $1,000 bituminous
miners, it was estimated that about
$4,000 still were idle.
More miners went down into the
shafts of Alabama's mines today,
slightly lettering the steel produc-
ton outlook in that state, but at
least $4,000 diggers again failed to
respond to the UNIV back-to-Work
orders.
Repercussions of the coal situation
came from Buffalo, N. Y, where the
Donner-Harna Coke Corp, largest
supplier of coke for blast furnaces
of the Republic Steel Corp. and the
Hanna Furnace Co., reported it
would have to cut operations at least
SO per cent next week unless coal
starts moving to the company in
normal quantities" by that time.
Coal Administrator Harold L.
Ickes was scheduled to go on the air
tonight to discuss the governments
mine program and there was some
speculation whether he might appeal
to the miners to go back to work.
About half of Pennsylvania 3d.
900 anthracite miners still were on
strike, but many were voting on
back to-Work proposals.

War Efforts
BY LYLE C. WILSON
United Press Staff Correspondent

tOnltcO FreSS StaII CORRESPONDENT
Washington, June 30.-(UP)-Dis-
putes within the administration on
important policy questions appeared
today to be damaging both the war
effort and the prospect of election
of a Democratic presidential candi-
date next year.
The latest engagement in the
blank-cartridge battle of Washing
ton involved Vice President Henry
A. Wallace's charges that Secretary
of Commerce Jesse H. Jones has
harrassed and DISTRACTED the Board
OF Economic Warfare. The day be-
fore it was head-on clash between
Mr.. Roosevelt and Chester c. Da-
Wis, who resigned as war food adj
ministrator after protesting unavail-
ingly that proposed subsidies would
not solve food price problems.
The failure of both presidential
and congressional efforts so far to
handle the coal crisis has added to
public uncertainty and has hit the
war effort directly where it hurts.
An exchange of frankly critical let

Rendovo | sic
Taken ByU.S.
In New Drive
By SANDOR S. KLEIN

UNITED Press Staff Correspondent
Washington, June 30.-OUP)-
American forces. cutting through
the japanese defense perimeter,
have landed on Rendova Island,
only five miles from the enemy's
Munda base in the central part of
the Solomons Islands group.
A 22-word Navy communique re-
vealed that the landing was accom-
plished yesterday morning-Ameri-
can time-by combined U. S.
forces 1t gave no details and did
not mention what enemy opposi-
ton, if any, was encountered.
Capture Of the island would rep
resent a 110-mile advance from the
Russell Islands, heretofore the most
northWeStWard part of the SolomonS
held by American forces. Rendova
is ITO miles from the main Allied
base in the Solomons, located on
Guadalcanal
Military experts believed that
with the U. S. forces firmly estab-
liShed on Rendova, it might not be
necessary to capture Munda itself.
That base is on New Georgia Island,
which is separated from Rendova by
the Blancne Channel, only a few
miles across. The Rendova force,
it was believed, might be able to
isolate and neutraliZe Munda SO eff
fectively that it would be of no use
to the japanese.
The RendoVa operation was re-
garded by observers here as part of
a campaign to wipe out advance
japanese Eases as a prelude to a
greater American offensive. This
belief was substantiated also by the
sustained U. S. air attacks on enemy
bases in the area.
The Navy communique, No. 1913,
follows:
South Pacific Call dates are east
longitude):
81. On June 30, during the early
morning, combined U. S. forces
landed on Rendova Island, New
Georgia group. No details have
been received"
Rendova is ITO nautical miles
northwest of the Guadalcanal air
field.
The enemy had certain military
installations there, but the exact
nature of them was not known.
However, a Navy spokesman said
it could very we'll serve as way
point for further operations against
the cluster of japanese bases in
the area.
For example, Rendova is only 80
miles from Rekata Bay. where the
japanese have a submarine and sea-
plane base.
Villa, another air base, is only %
miles away. The enemy's bomber
base at Kahili is 1875 miles to the
northwest
The move on Rendova is the third
extension of American domination
