tivities Recent years have seen the
establishment OF numerous elaborate
kennels built for the express purpose
Of raising racing Greyhounds. While
breeding activities afe centered in
the Middle West and West, Massa-
chusetts has in tie past 10 years
come to the fore as a breeding state
and now produces around 1000 rae
ing dogs every year
Most Greyhound track stars can
trace Their ancestry back to the same
iorebears, as they are almost all of
the same general bloodlines. The
names Of famous Greyhounds Of the
past appear in the pedIgrees over and
over again, making racing Grey
hounds practically all one large
loosely-knit family. One of the best
known racing dogs of the past CEN
fury, whose name appears in many
Greyhound family trees, was Master
McGrath, an Irish dog. His picture
was stamped on Irs coins. and q
memorial statue OF hi.l Wcs erected
in Ireland. A name which shows in
the pedigrees. OF nearly IS per cent
Of modern .eours.ag DOES is that of
Mutton Outlet, another Irish dog, and
a prolific sire of racing champions.
The outstanding American sire of
today is Never Roll, who stands at.
the top of the current list o! sires OF
track winners.
Greyhound track racing started in
this country about 1906. The inven-
ton of the electric rabbit by Owen
Patrick Smith gave the sport its first
genuine impetus. Smith promoted
racing meets throughout The West,
and at Emeryville. California. in 1919
the first really successful meeting
was held BY 1925 dog racing had
achieved national prominence and its
sponsors were reaping handsome f.
nancial rewards After Smiths death
in 1927, Greyhound racing fell into
the controlling hands of an unsavory
group who al. but ruined the sport.
Although the dishonest element has
long since been banished, dog racing
still suffers the effects of this unfor-
tunate period Conducted under state
sanction and supervised by state
appointed regulatory bodies. Grey
hound racing is actually one of the
cleanest and fairest of all American
sports. the Center states.

By the Assoeiosed Press

President Truman has cracked
down on administration officials

was learned today.
In an unusual memorandum Mr.
Truman directed the Budget Bureau
to tell his subordinates that they
must:
l, Stop "seizing upon any oppor-
tunity which presents itself to in
dicate an opinion, either directly OF
indirectly, that my (budget) es-
Inmates are insufficient"
2. Support only the Presidents
estimates in hearings and discus
sions with members of Congress. -
A leading Republican lawmaker
who obtained a copy of the memo
randum and made it available to a
reporter, said that in his view the
second point might be construed as
instructions to oppose any congress
sional effort to trim appropriation
requests.
This Congress member, who asked
not to be named, noted that the
COP is committed to a pledge to
trim Federal spending to the bone
AS word of the directive spread on
Capitol Hill, members said the only
recent case of any similarity they
could recall was Mr.. Trumans in
