Newmarket Is Packed
For English Derby;
Yanks Numerous
BY the Associated Press.

NEWMARKET, England, June
8.-Standing room only signs were
being displayed at hotels, rooming
houses and eating places here and In
nearby towns as spectators came
pouring in today for the first Derby
in peace-restored Europe. Among
the throng will be about 5000 to TO-
600 Americans, most of them men
in uniform.
Many were prepared to go with
out cigarettes, beer, lunches and
bedrolls for a chance to watch the
famous Darby which is to be run
today under wartime conditions
even though the war in Europe has
ended.
Twenty-seven of Britain's best s.
year-olds have been entered for the
l II mile event over Newmarket s
July course. In all likelihood it will
be the last big race here as next
years event is expected to be run at
EPSON Downs which can accom-
modate 100000 spectators.
Listed as favorites were Sir Eric
Ohlsens' brown colt, Dante, with
Jockey w. Nevett aboard, and Lord
Rosebery's Midas, which will be
ridden by Jockey E. Smith.
Reports that Dante sported a bad
eye, which the horses hackers in
sist has been treated successfully
may cause the experts to switch
their bets. Some English turfmen
already have turned to Squadron
Leader Stanhope Joels Chamos-
saire, and others favored Aga
Khan's Fordham and Manuche1r
whom Champion Jockey Gordon
Richards elected to ride. King
Georges horse, Rising Light, also
is an entry.
American spectators are in for
a surprise as they will not see the
start of the race. The horses start
out Of sight around the bend and
the only indication they're off is a
flag waved by a track official. The
horses don't become visible until
they sweep into the second straight
away.
Although open to colts and fillies
the Derby will be an all-male event
this year.

According to Tom Main, general
manager Of Ducks Unlimited, from
present indications the wild water
fowl will have pretty fair season.
Breeding stock returning to the
nesting grounds was from 10 per
cent to 40 per cent better than last
year. Predator control has been
stepped up considerably. The
League of Maryland Sportsmen,
meeting at Ocean City, Md, last
week end, adopted a resolution di-
rected to the Federal Fish and Wild
Life Service, representing the views
of the organized sportsmen of
Maryland for needed changes in the
regulations for taking wild water
fowl. The request a full 80 days
shooting, from November / to Janu-
ary 81; supplementary area feeding,
no feeding to be less than $50 yards
from any blind or stand, permis-
sion for the use Of limited num-
Der of live decoys for marsh ducks
only.
Down in Chesapeake Bay, the
fish are biting somewhat more
freely, but unsettled weather con-
ditions have made the going tough
at times. Hardhead, according to
latest reports, are commencing to
move into deeper water and are
now to be found in Eastern Bay
and around the Gooses. Some rock
fish are being taken trolling at
random in that area and around
Sharps Island, but the best method
of fishing at present is cumming
with green shrimp. These are
available at some points, and while
they will set you back S. a GAL

William D. Hurlbut Of South Ar
lington, Va. advises that James
Wiley, commercial fisherman,
drifting a seine last week OF Gun
stem Manor Point, landed a buck
sturgeon weighing nearly 100 pounds
and measuring almost feet in
length. Sturgeon, which used to be
fairly plentiful in the Potomac, are
a rare catch these days. They are
highly priced as food fish. Their
growth Is slow, and 1t takes many
years for one to reach this size.
Some nice fresh-run silver shad
have been taken during the. last
week along with occasional rock
fish. The japanese water chestnut
is making Its appearance again in
areas cut over by the United States
Engineers in past years, and the
cutting boats are already at work

have been made in the control of
this obnoxious weed, and already
results are seen in increased growths
Of beneficial water plants and food
fish.
Unsettled weather conditions have
made trouting spotty for the last
week. However, r. L. Pillsbury, back

and wet flies, with an occasional

Long Road to Tokyo Seen by Adm. King

Washington (CNS)-The Pacific War has moved faster than was expected year ago, but we still have "a long, tough and laborious road ahead" That is the considered opinion of Adm. Ernest J. King, U. S. Fleet Commander, expressed in his annual report to the Secre- tary of the Navy. Adm. King re- vealed that there never has been a "time- table" for operations in the Pacifc-the only thought was ito go as far and as fast as the means in hand would permit" But the very speed of operations has created new production problems, he added, with "production of cer- tain necessities falling behind re- Quirements."

 Rumor has it that "Nails" se- cretly submitted an application for OCS. After attending recent reading of the Articles of War. No doubt he intends to be prepared and is brushing up on those odds and ends.

AAF SAFETY is the title of the new safety publication of the Army Air Forces, the first issue of which is dated April, 1945. It is pub lished by Headquarters, Army Air Forces, Assistant Chief of Air Staff, Personnel; Ground Safety Division, Washington, D.C., and will be issued monthly.
 The purpose of this magazine is to disseminate accident prevention information, injury statistics and pertinent safety material for gen eral interest and benefit of military and civilian personnel at all AAF installations.
 AAF SAFETY can only be as effective as the information im- parted by it's contents. It is, there fore, necessary that each available copy receive wide distribution and be read by all personnel, both military and civilian.
 In the first issue, H. H. Arnold, Commanding General, Army Air Forces, writes as follows: 'In our Army, as in civil life, two things operate seriously to reduce effec- tiveness of personnel. Only DOT tion of our soldiers are exposed to battle, but disease and accidental injury are hazard to all. The inn portance of medical attention for our soldiers has long been recog- nized, but only in this war has or ganized safety effort received the consideration it merits.
 It is gratifying to realize that the Army Air Forces has been in the forefront in applying an effec- tive safety program to personnel, military and civilian, both at home and overseas. We must maintain that position to the point of maxi mum reduction of such unneces- sary losses"
 Exchange of helpful information and promotion of uniformity of action are essential to best safety results, hence the value of this new magazine issued by the Ground Safety Division in the Office of the Assistant Chief of Air Staff, Per sonnel.
 Conservation of the manpower of our Army Air Forces through every practical safety measure dare not be ignored"
 Distribution for this Base has been limited to fifty copies, which have been distributed to as many organizations and activities as pos sible. A few minutes time spent in reading this magazine will result in many man-hours of time saved if the advice of it's writers and recommended safety hints are fol- lowed. Don't fail to read it from cover to cover.
