Quiz For MdrYldnders
Answer to Question 1:

No state in America has as many
fine steeplechase courses as Mary
land. The famous Maryland Hunt,
in the Worthington Valley north
west of Baltimore, has 22 jumps
over high post-and-rail fences. The
famous brush course at Foxcatch-
er Farms, Fair Hill, Cecil Coun-
ty, built by William Dupont, has
high gorse hedge fences the equal
of England's famed Grand Ma
tional. At Pimlico, in Baltimore,
the Maryland Jockey Club course
also has Dupont brush jumps.
Many racing stables and breeding
farms in the Old Free State
started because some youngster
had a pony, liked to ride and jump.
Truly, racing is native to Mary
land.
Answer to Question 2:
Take peek at the list of Mary
lands biggest taxpayers. You will
learn Maryland racing pays over
one million dollars of your Mary
land taxes every year. Preserva-
ton of high class racing is impor-
tant to Maryland and Maryland
taxpayers. Without high class
racing Marylanders would have to
pay more taxes.

Their Origin:

Everything has its origin, and its
mists beyond the origin. That's why
Americas first democracy of peo-
Piles - the Six Nations of the Iro-
quois - always gave veneration in
its councils to the fires and misty
origin of the pre-dawn peoples,
Sagely they said: "nehko-gah-gis-
dah-yen-duk," which means, "other
council fires were here before ours"
"Hoeing corn" has never been an
actuality in the broader sense of
American farming practice 1t is a
leftover from Indian practice in
New England, where, because of the
rocky soil, corn was always planted
in hills, and, consequently "hoed"
New Englanders followed the same
practice and even today corn in
many sections of the north Atlantic
seaboard is still planted in hills in
combination with climbing types of
beans

rived at Nanking from Shanghai. They charged that the attack was carried out by Chinese secret police who are agents of the clique.
 Believe in Determination
 Members of the clique, it was noted, have repeatedly expressed in public the opinion that "extermin- ation is the only solution of China's Communist problem" They were said to be pressing determinedly toward this goal regardless of the outcome of the Marshall negotia- tionS.
 Reports from Nanking said that the national defense ministry had issued orders for immediate re-eS- tablishment of local air defense headquarters in Peiping and or ganization of a citizens defense corps" under the order of the Peip- ing police department.
 These orders gave rise to anxiety in both Chinese and foreign quar- terS which accepted them as sig nificant straw in the wind, indi- eating further nationalist prepara- tions for a finish fight with the Communists.

Degnon Girl Killer SIi ps In GriIIinq
 Many Flaws Found
 In Detailed Story;
 May Change Tale

Phoenix, Ariz., June 28 - (UP)- Richard R. Thomas, A, convicted of raping his daughter, said today he would think over" the suggeS- tion of Chicago detectives that he change his story of Kidnapping and killing six-year-old Suzanne Deg nan.
 He did not indicate whether he would change the details or say he invented the whole story to avoid serving a sentence for the rape con- viction. 't
 The haggard suspect, his story torn apart after five hours of ques- tioning, was given the night to rest.
 Agrees to Make Changes
 He agreed with the detectives suggestion that he might want to make some changes in his confeS- sion when questioning resumes to- day.
 Healy, assistant states attorney from Chicago, said he was not ready to make any statement after last nights questioning. But Detective It. John Olson commented: ~'t
 I'm not very excited about it."
 From the questions asked, 1t would appear that Thomas is off the beam." said Sheriff Ernest w. Roach, who joined the questioning with Healy, Olson and T. D. Altman, representative of the Chi cago police commissioner.
 The Chicago investigators, who flew here to check Thomas confess sion against facts uncovered in the Jan. 6 mutilation staying, "got mo- where" when they began checking the story yesterday.
 Sticks Firmly to Story
 After a few minutes of question ing, Thomas begged for "a few hours rest" He said he was ex- hausted after a sleepless night. He was given a sedative, and question ing was resumed at nightfall.
 Thomas, who confessed the crime as he awaited sentence Monday for raping his daughter, Patricia, A3, stuck firmly to his story that ne foupnd Suzanne asleep as he prowl- ed through the Degnan home. He said he carried her of and cut up her body after she suffocated in a sack.
 But he wavered on details which failed to match the known facts. The supervisor of Chicago's Wood- lawn Hospital, where Thomas work ed as a male nurse, said he was on duty the night of the staying.

Wants Reds Exteminated Ultrd-redctiOndry Clique to Extend China's CiUil War

Shanghai, June 28 - UP) = Reliable observers reported today that an ultra-reactionary clique of Nationalist generals and offlcials- assisted by German Nazi advisers are making preparations for a finish fight against the Chinese Communists, with or without the support of Gen. Chiang Kai-Shek.
 Preparations for renewal of China's civil war were reported to be well advanced by this group and observers reported there were indi- cations that Chiang no longer is in a position to control or restrain their actions, even if he Sdp desired. These quarters said that there now appeared to be seven chances in ten that a paper settlement of the differences between the Ma tionalists and Communists would be achieved by Gen. George c. Mar shall.
 3tO 2 Odds on Revolt
 But they estimated that the chances were three to two that this agreement would be overturned by the ml1tarlSClc clique.
 The militaristic clique was said to center around what is known as the Chen brothers, the Minister of Edu- cation Gnu Chia-Hua and the de- posed arch-reactionary Gen. Ho Ying- Chin, former minister of war and chief of staff.
 Observers noted that Chiang twice has named General Ho to posts designed to get him out of China once as head of a military mission to Britain and once as China's military representative to the United Nations.
 Both times Ho declined to leave China and presently is engaged in touring Nationalist army headquar- terS in the areas where Nationalist and Communist hostilities are most likely to break out.
 Naxi-Inspired
 Excellently informed American sources said that there is solid evidence" to show that the reac- tionary Chinese elements are "in- spirOd" by German Nazis. They said that several of these Germans still hold advisory posts in the clique o1 are otherwise in a position to exert strong influence on the reactionary group.
 Many of these Nazis, it was said have been removed by the Chinese from the American list of German nationals sought for deportation or grounds they are objectionable and dangerous"
 Competent observers just back from Manchuria and North China reported that Gen. Tu L-ming, the Nationalist commander who is re- garded as a member of the clique has advanced his preparations SC far for a resumption of a drive against the Communists that only a military settlement seems possible
 As evidence of Chiang's inability to control the faction, observer: cited the brutal beating of a groul of anti-war leaders, prominent bus. mess men and educational leaders who were set upon when they ar
