Dopings InvaIidated
BY the A,soeiotsd Press

BALTIMORE, Feb. 20.-Circuit
Court Judge Emory H. Niles today
declared invalid and unconstitutional
the rule of the Maryland Racing
Commission which holds trainers
solely responsible when evidence of
stimulation is found in horses under
their care.
Judge Niles issued a declaratory
judgment in ruling on a demurrer

held on the States demurrer Feb

ment.

the suit are w. L. Brann and Syl-
yester w. Labrot. jr.. and the train

from horses running at the Pimlico
fall meeting.
The owners and trainers were
suspended, but the owners were re-
stored to good standing by the COM
mission yesterday on the condition
that they get new trainers accept

mission postponed the case of the
trainers pending the outcome of the
action before Judge Niles.

Canada May Release
Official Report on
Spy Plot Tomorrow
By The Associated Press

OTTAWA, Feb. 20.-The Canadian
government is expected to release
its first official report tomorrow on
an espionage plot which Prime Min
lister Mackenzie King declared had
resulted in disclosure of highly
secret information to foreign mis-

Identified as the Soviet Embassy.
Canadians eagerly awaited new
disclosures concerning the case, in
which several strategically- placed
government officials were reported
involved Sources close to the gov
eminent, however, said the foreign
mission to which Mr.. King referred
last Friday probably would not be
officially identified until a Royal
Commission completes its investiga-
tlon-perhaps week or two hence

Some members of the government
are known to feel that the blackout
on official news imposed since Friday
has developed a witch hunt" of
alarming proportions, and they are
anxious OF have further details made
public to curb specula ton.
Mr.. King has acquainted the
leaders of the two principal opposi-
ton parties with much of the case.
They are John Bracken of the Pro-

These two leaders. together con-

the diplomatic front as the two-man

hearings on the means by which

1t is yet to be shown how high in

The Soviet Embassy has Cancelled

Surveying Party Finds
BodYofY oungWoman|
In Silver Hill Woods

The body of a young Stacks
clad woman. between 20 and 80
years old, was found today 300
feet across the District line in
the woods at Silver Hill, Md.
There were bruises on the right
wrist, but police were not able to
Immediately determine If she had
met with foul play.
Found by employees of Rockville
(Md3 surveying company. the body
was attired in a sweater and Stacks.
The scene is about 100 feet east
of Oxon Hill Run Greek, which in
turn is about 100 feet east of Mill
tary highway.
Police and reporters had to walk
about mile from Military highway
and Naylor road through dense
underbrush before reaching the
scene.
The woman, about 5 feet 2 inches
tall and weighing approximately 100
pounds, was wearing a reddish
brown sweater and blue Stacks. She
wore pink blouse beneath the
sweater and had on white and tan
suede shoes. There was a gold we'd
ding ring on the fourth finger of her
left hand.
Autopsy Is Ordered.
DR.. James I. Boyd, Prince Georges
County deputy medical examiner,
refused to speculate on the cause
of death pending an autopsy late
today.
DR.. Boyd authorized removal of
the woman's body to the Gasch
funeral home, Hyattsville, follow
ing hasty examination at the
scene.
Police also pointed out that the
area was virtually inaccessible on
all four sides by automobile.
About a mile south of the area
is Naylor road. To the west about
300 feet is Military highway, which
is the District line. 1t is impossible
for car to proceed from Military
highway into the woods where the
body was found, however, because

rier.
Nearest House Mile Away.
The woods extend about 4 miles
to Oxon Hill. Md. and
west about miles to Silver Hill.
The Young Mems Democratic
Club of Maryland is located on
Naylor road about a mile southeast
of the scene and there is a riding
academy about a quarter of a mile
further down Naylor road.
The nearest house in any direc-
ton is mile from the scene.
A yellow scarf was found lying
beside the body OF the woman.
A pair Of black gloves also was
found nearby. Police could not say
whether they belonged to the
woman.
The body was discovered about 10
a IN. by four employees of the H. M.
White surveying firm. The men
were William Rice and Jesse Floyd,
both OF Rockville; Luther Mills of
Gaithersburg and Charles Merriman
of Bethesda.
District police arrived at the
scene, but, on learning that the body
was in Maryland territory did not
take jurisdiction. The police said
the woman appeared to have been
dead several days.

u. 5. 10 Make Public
kdzi Documents on
Spain S War Dealings
BY The Assoeioted Press

Franco Spain is due for another
American diplomatic slap because Of
her wartime dealings with Hitler.
Secretary Of State Byrnes served
advance notice of this at his news
conference yesterday when he dis
closed that the American Govern
ment intended to make public evil
dence On the subject culled from
Nazi documents. =
American Government officials
concerned with Spain doubted
whether the United States would
issue the Nazi documents In for
NAL Blue Book, similar to the one
released last week on Argentine
collaboration with the Reich.
They declared that SPANS record
Of cooperation with the Nad is
too well known" and has been re-
peatedly denounced in public by
American officials.
ITO Make Documents Public.
Therefore, they said, 1t might be
best merely to make embarrassing
Nazi documents public without any
comment. Their opinion was that
such step would keep the record
clear and show to the world ex-
actly how Franco aided Hitler at
the time he was protesting his adj
miration for the Allies.
Publication of such documents
need not necessarily lead to an
American break in their relations
with Spain, they said.
More on Argentina.
These officials, who requested
ANONYMITY. said additional docu-
ments linking the Argentine mill
tary government with the Nazis
probably would be found in the
tons" of seized Nazi records now
being processed.
Whether they would be made pub
lie, it was believed, depended on
whether the United States felt adj
ditional evidence was necessary or
whether material of a sensational
type was uncovered.
Mr.. Byrnes told reporters that
American and British investigators
were working jointly in examining
the NaI papers and that 1t might
take a long time to complete the
task.
