NEW YORK, Dec. IS QNS)-
Horse racing has contributed
more actual cash to the war
effort than any other sport-or
any half dozen of them combined
but critics have found ample
ammunition for sniping at this
mamoth industry because OF the
bad aspects OF the thing always
on display.
The governments decision OF
last Saturday TO call racing off
for an indefinite period was re-
garded by some of the people in
the business as a cinch TO come
sooner or later. Racing headlines
have been out of tune with those
to be found on stories bearing
Europeand and Pacific datelines.
Racing has been charged with
contributing To absenteeism in de-
Tense plants. for one thing. This
has been stutly denied, but, right
or wrong, that in itself was
enough TO cause government Off
Gals to crack down on the sport.
KEPT IN LnMELIGHT
The tremendous crowds, the
almost berserk betting craze, the
streams of automobiles and taxi
cabs burning up gas and rubber
TO load the horse parks with Gus
toners all have been duly COM
mented upon from time TO time.
The racing people also have
added to the travel burden with
shipments of stock and hired hands
from one track 10 the other. some
times all the way across the coun-
try. and this also has been noted.
From the other side of the pic
ture this is going TO be an almost
killing blow To- the small owner
and TO a lot of trainers. II costs
around $40 a month 10 board a
horse. And that will be going on
at time when the small owner

demands for q five-cent per ton
increase.
The crews walked out Thursday
night asking that growers pay the
five cent increase at once instead
Ct July as provided for inthe
VIA wage stabilization order.
A meeting of growers and labor
ers was held Friday afternoon at
BraWley. The growers pointed out
that under the wage stabiliZation
order and the specific wage ceilings
placed on alfalfa harv Ssting they
cannot increase, nor can the en-
ploye accept an increase, above that
order. without becoming subject to
severe penalties.
It was reported that several crews
did not report for work Saturday
morning pending information from
the War Food Administration, and

MORE WASTE
PAPER NEEDED

There is far more salvageable
waste paper in the country than
is required to meet all war pro-
duction and civilian needs, yet
the public nationally has failed
to salvage enough of this mat
erial to meet requirements at
any time this year, James 5.
Flaherty, chairman, Waste Paper
Consumers Industry for Salvage
and Conservation, said this
week.
He stated that during the
month of April, when the COL
lections were at the highest
point so far attained, the short
age amounted to $4,000 tons.
Normally, paper corrections sag
during the summer months be-
cause of school vacations. Fail
ure to meet requirements during
the time when a reserve should
have been built up means that
all collection programs must be
maintained during the coming
months or further drastic cuts
in the use of paper will be en-
forced.
