The board, headed by Henry A.
Parr, Sd, of Baltimore, sent a tele-

James F. Byrnes, according to the
Associated Press, pledging its COM

The message read:

support and recommends to its 33
member racing associations complete
compliance with your request that
all racing suspend after January 3,

New York State Racing Commission
the last 10 years, had submitted his
resignation to Gov. Dewey three
days before the Federal Government
made its move to halt the sport
Swopes action, effective January 81
was necessary because of other
duties, he said.
BY its wording the wire made il
clear that the organization woulo
disapprove any track asking Gov.

limited basis.
None of the directors would guess
how long the ban will be imposed
but unanimously said they were

Turfmen to Keep

MIAMI, Fla, Dec. 28.-The rae

THE Russian Soviet Union and the
= Italian government of Marshal
Pietro Badoglio have now nipple
mented their recent establishment of
official diplomatic relations by a
formal exchange of ambassadors.
Italy has evidently thrown iii her
lot with Russian bolshevism, proba
bly, because she is discouraged with
Anglo American indecision and insln
cerity and is fearful of the total de
struction of the italian nation.
The establishment of the italian
people regarding American and Brit
ish policies has already been noted
by competent and frank American
observers.
THE early expectation of the Ital
ian people was for liberation from
the Axis by the Anglo American
occupation, and it has been said that
Italian cooperation made possible
the fall of Naples at least a month
sooner than anticipated
But the present attitude of the
Italian people is reported to be one
of indifference and non co operation
in its mildest manifestations and of
sullenness and hostility in growing
degree.
1t was this situation which pre-
sented Premier Stain with his OPP
portunity to establish an independent
relationship with Italy, with the ulti
mate objective of controlling Italy
