Ga||orette, Round View Out Of PimIico Special
.Stymie, Assault Left

For $4,000 Purse
BY tho A..oeietsd Pres.

I, BALTIMORE, Oct. 31.-William l.
Brann's Gallorette and Sanford Stud
Farms Round View were declared
from the Pimlico Special today. thus
reducing the field for this $4,000
winner -take-all event tomorrow to
four.
Ed Christmas, trainer of the 4
year-old Maryland-bred filly, said
that he wasn't satisfied with Gal
lorette's final workout and indicated
she would be retired for the season.
Trainer Holly Hughes OF Laddie
Sanford's farm said that Round
View "had tough race in the
Boniface Handicap on Monday when
he defeated Dockstader and First
Fiddle by a nose and we decided 1t
is a little too much to ask the colt
to run back against older horses
| tomorrow.
Heading the list of entries is Mrs.
Ethel D. Jacobs Stymie. which will
be a heavy favorite to win the 10th
running of the 3-16-mile test.
Three Others Named for Race.
Others named overnight were
King Ranch's Assault, Mrs. Helen
Lebowitz's Turbine and j. r. Brad
ley's Bridal Flower.
Christmas said that Gallorette
"just isn't herself. The filly just
doesn't do well when shipped from
one track to another for her races
and she has travelled from New York
to Garden State Park and then on
down here to Pimlico in the last
week."
Hughes said Round View would be
saved. for the important Riggs
Handicap, a $4,000 / 3-16-mile
affair. to be run November 8.
Sixteen opulent stakes are expect
ed to attract the cream Of the Ma
tion's thoroughbred racing crop to
the 13-day meeting which opened
today.
Officials at the Old Hilltop course
indicated that more than 5000 fans
would be on hand for today's fea-
ture, the $4,000 added Grayson
Stakes, being run for the ninth
time. Thirteen have been entered
for the Grayson.
Futurity Is Most Valuable.
On this and succeeding days the
Maryland Jockey Club will shell out
an average of $4,000. OF the stakes
to be run, the most valuable Is
the Pimlico Futurity, down for
Saturday, November 8, with some
thing more than the $4,000 daily
average going to the winner.
The ~ mile Grayson was the first
of a series graduated in length up to
the grueling az -mile Pimlico Cup,
designed to illustrate the feeling of
President Harry A. Parr III Of the
Maryland Jockey Club that stamina

To Permit All Parties
To Campaign Freely
Note Expresses Regret
At Action Against Labor
And Peasant Groups
By Gornett D. Horner

The United States has for
mally called on the Polish pro-
visional government to permit
all democratic and -Nazi
political parties in Poland to
conduct campaigns freely in
preparation for elections planned
for November, Acting Secretary
of State Acheson disclosed today.
He made public note delivered
to the Polish Foreign ONCE yes
terday, expressing regret at restric-
tive measures against the Polish
Labor party and the Polish Peasant
party and insisting that they be
given full rights in the forthcoming
election
The note emphasized the grave
responsibility" assumed by the
United States Government under
the Yalta and Potsdam agreements
regarding the holding of free and
unfettered elections" and expressed
confidence that the Polish govern
ment would heed the American
views.
Mr.. Acheson said he understood
Great Britain. which, with Russia,
also was party to the Yalta and
Potsdam agreements, had delivered
a note along similar lines, but that
he did not know of any such action
by Russia.
The American note pointed out
that the United States had departed
from its traditional policy by as
suming responsibilities regarding the
Polish elections, doing so ito assist
in giving the Polish people, who had
suffered so greatly from Nazi oc-
cupation, an opportunity freely to
choose the government under which
they would live"
1t called the Polish government s
attention to charges of serious ir-
regularities' in tabulating ballots
from referendum held in Poland
on June 30.
1t also referred to administrative
persecution" of the Polish Labor
party, which was not allowed to hold
its party congress, and to steps
taken for depriving the Polish Peas
ant party of its right to assemble
and perform normal party functions.
The note insisted that these two
parties be included among those to
be represented on ELECTORAL COM
missions and to have other right to
campaign freely for the November
elections.
