The most important thing IN tns
world today is friendship between
the United States and Russia" Mrs
La Fell Dickinson, president Of thu
General Federation Of Women'l
Clubs, told a luncheon meeting o.
the Soroptimist Club yesterday.
Addressing the group, which met
at the Willard Hotel, Mrs. Dickin-

that while the Russian form oi
government may be good for Rus
sia it isn't for us, and that "any
one who is a Communist ought to
go back to Russia"
The club leader, who was one OF
a delegation which visited Russia
last summer at the invitation of the
Russian War Relief, said ''the Rus
slams want friendship with the
United States" Everywhere she
went, Mrs. Dickinson said, the men
and women were eagerly interested
in Americans and what they are
doing.
I Mrs. Dickinson said she visited a
board meeting of one of the large
Women's trade union organizations
and was SO busy answering ques-
tions about our >own club organiZa-
tions that she had little chance te
learn about Russian women's club
activities.
She said the Russian women, who
nave equal rights with men, were
Mortified" to find women do not
have equal rights in the United
States. Mrs. Dickinson followed ur
her remark with a dramatic why
don't we do something about it?'
which drew applause from the audi.

Guilty in getting the right room ac'

scribed how her use of firmness go

Of practice on August IL.

the arrangements, which give the
Tribe one of the f1nest Preseason
setups any professional team has
enjoyed. Occidental, small Pres
+byterian school with a normal en-
rollment of 400 men and as many
women, is far enough from Los
Angeles to keep the players minds
on football but close enough to keep
the team in the sports spotlight.
The Redskins will remain at Oc-
cidental until after the exhibition
game with the transplanted Rams
at the Los Angeles Coliseum Sep
tember 6, when they will break
camp and head East. Their first
appearance of the season will be q

Boy rated the odds-on favorite in a
meager field of seven for the 100000
Ia mile Santa Anita Derby today,
as track officials hopefully expected
an early end to the horsemen's
strike.
The Maine Chance entry figured
to go postward at about IL, with
Knockdown favored to cop the win
ner's purse of about $4,000. The
gross purse, nearly s115,000, was the
largest ever offered to so small a
field.
A meeting of Chairman Lloyd
Wright and striking owners, trainers
and grooms was scheduled before
the racing program. Santa Anita
officials were hopeful it would settle
the horsemen's disputes.
One groom, Emory Clark, "a, was
injured and four others arrested on
suspicion of disturbing the peace in
an outbreak before yesterdays first
race. Clark was trampled by Mayer S
Distaff, disturbed by heckling from

ter to an enthusiastic crowd of 4,732
cash customers.
A few of the acts on the bill:
Cd Goalie Moe Roberts of the Lions
scored goal for the other team
in the final period, grabbing a puck
off the stick of the Falcons George
DeFelice and whamming it into his
own nets. co Philadelphia's Johnny
Chenier fired a goal in the same
period while reposing fiat on his
stomach in front of the Washington
cage. In the manner of a. man
f1icking the ashes off a cigarette,
Chenier nonchalantly tipped the
rubber through Roberts legs. 80 A
Philadelphia player scored a clean
bullseye on program held by a
woman in the first row. The laugh
ing girl held the neatly perforated
magazine in the air as the crowd
lapplauded. a. The lights over the
