Preakness Field IsCu
To 10 by Withdrawal
OF Billy Bumps
Assault Is Fovored
In Classic Before
Crowd Of 40, 900
By the As.ceio,ed Press

BALTIMORE, May 1.-THE
field for today's 56th running of
the Preakness was cut to 10 this
morning with the withdrawal of
Billy Bumps from the Bomar
Stables of Charles P. Bohn and
P. A. Markey of Detroit.
The scratching of the 3-year- old
son of Last Land, who has not run
race since early April. left the
gross value of the 13/16-mile classic
at $780, ,620, which is still the biggest
purse ever put up for race in
America.
The jockey lineup for the race was
completed with the announcement
that Tidy Bid, owned by William
Helis Of New Orleans, would be
ridden by Shelby Clark, 23-year-old
| rider from McLeansboro, Ill. Tidy
Bid was ridden in his last race by
Nick Jemas and wound up pitching
the jockey over the fence.
Skies Overcast.
Early arrivals among the expected
crowd of 10000 were greeted by
scattered showers, but by $50 am,
the clouds had been driven away by
warm sun. There was consider
able overcast at noon.
1t was Assault against the field,
and the betting was just about even
that Assault would follow his vic
tory of week ago in the Kentucky
Derby.
There were nine other three-year-
olds going to the post with the Texas
terror at ass pm. to run for the
black-eyed Susans over the old hill
top track.
OF the entire 10, Assault was the
high-powered choice to take the
same double trick his daddy, Bold
Venture, did, 10 years ago-win both
the Derby and Preakness.

peared to be Hampden, who will be

BULLETIN

The Government today lift
ed its embargo on nonessen-
tial freight shipments, effec-
tive at 1901 am. Monday, as
a result of the two-Week truce
in the coal strike. J. Monroe
Johnson, director of the Office
Of Defense Transporta ton,
announcing the action, said
the ODT order for so per
cent cut in passenger travel
May Is also was Cancelled.
However, the Is per cent re-
duction in passenger traffic
already in effect will be con-
tinued, as well as certain
other restrictions, which Col.
Johnson termed minor.
The Government today ap-
parently was not ready to relax
any of the major emergency
regulations imposed because of
the discriminating supplies of
coal, despite the 15-day truce in
the strike of 100000 mine
workers.
With the miners back in the pits
until May 25, when the truce ex-
pires, an estimated 25,000,000 tons
of coal could be produced, but the
Solid Fuels Administration said dis
tribution will remain under its con-
troll.
There was no immediate order for
relaxation of the freight embargo
to release a flow of goods But the
Office of Defense Transportation
which placed a ban on all rail
freight shipments except food, fuel
and other essentials, said a decision
on future rail movements would be
made later today.
Brownout Not Revoked.
Likewise, the Civilian Production
Administration did not revoke Or
ders for broWnouts and Illuminating

agency said "the situation still is
critical"
Consumers and industry alike
will have to continue all coal con-
servation measures" CPA Chief
John D. Small said
In Maryland, railroads and in
dustries were awaiting a change in
the freight embargo before recall
ing furloughed men or changing
curtailed schedules.
A spokesman for the Baltimore &
Ohio Railroad said no decision
could be made on recalling men
until the embargo situation is clari-

if the miners return to their pits
it may be possible to withhold the

shop workers scheduled to be re-

Demonstrate Against

$4,000 in Procession to
ViminuIe Palace Shout
Down With King
BY the Associoted Press

ROME, May 11.-Roman re-
publicans staged an anti-Um-
berto demonstration today which
dwarfed the acclaim Italy'S new
King received yesterday from
monarchists at the royal palace.
A crowd estimated at $4,000
gathered in the Peoples Square this
morning for rally, then marched
to the seat of government at the
Viminale Palace, where the marchers
cheered the cabinet and shouted,
Down with the King"
A heavy police guard. armed with
sub-machine guns, was posted about
the palace, blocking all approaches.
The demonstrators marched past the
police cordons in an orderly manner.
The demonstration brought to-
gether members of leading italian
parties - the Action, Communists,
Christian Democratic and Repub-
lican Socialist. Red flags and Italian
flags, minus the cross of the House
OF Savoy, were carried.
Cabinet Ban Is Defied.
The parade was held despite
cabinet ban earlier today on all
such demonstrations until after the
nation votes June on whether the
monarchy should be retained. Public
assemblies were not prohibited.
A cabinet communique said the
action was taken at Yesterdays
lengthy session, called to consider
the abdication of King Victor En-
manuel III, because some ministers
expressed fear of disturbances.
An estimated 10000 monarchists
demonstrated before the Quirinale
yesterday and afterward paraded
through Rome, but their conduct
was orderly throughout.
