AS a 2-year-old, Pearl Diver ran

British Iron Curtain
By the Assoeiofed Press

BERLIN, June IA group o1
Russian journalists charged today
that British authorities were trying
to prevent them from making a
tour Of the British occupation zone
of Germany by making the insult
ing and unfriendly gesture" of re-
quiring that they pay their expenses
in pounds sterling.
Informed British quarters here
said it was all a mistake which was
now being handled on higher levels
with the prospect that a decision
satisfactory to the Russians would
be handed down.
The Russians, according to the
official paper, Taegliche Rundschau,
felt especially Indignant" because
six groups of British correspondents
who so far have visited the Russian
occupation zone had received such
hearty and friendly treatment and
no question Of payment was ever
preached"
The Russians added that they sus-
pected there were some things in
the British zone which authorities
there did not wish them to see. The
article was entitled

IG. 0.P. Seen Carrying
California in '4S After
Split OF Democrats
By the Asseeiatsd Press

Representative Holifeld, Demo-
crat. Of California predicted in the
House yesterday that there may be
Il three-way fight in California for
delegates to the 1948 Democratic
National Convention and a resulting
loss of the State to Republicans in
the presidential election.
This would result, he said, from
stupid political action" of Edwin w.
Pauley, Secretary of the Treasury
Snyder and Gael Sullivan, executive
director of the Democratic National
Committee.
Mr.. Pauley, the national COM
mitteeman of California, used his
influence" Mr.. Holifeld said, to
cancel the appearance OF Mr.. Snyder
and Mr. Sullivan at Thursday nights
Jackson Day dinner in Los Angeles.
1.-THE excuse given by Mr.. Pauley,"
Mr.. Holifield continued, "waS that he
disapproved Of tentative draft Of
policy Of the State Democratic Com
mittee which mildly criticized the
Truman Doctrine. The draft Of
policy had no connection with the
Jackson Day dinner.
''The recent speeches Of Mr..
Henry Wallace In California have
given rise to the rrmor of a Wal
lace slate of delegates in 1948.
There will undoubtedly be Pauley
slate for Mr.. Truman. '
by the stupid political action Of
Mr.. Pauley, Mr.. Snyder and Mr..
Sullivan in gratuitously insulting
the official State Democratic Party
organization, James Roosevelt, the
chairman Of the Democratic State
Central Committee of California,
and the third speaker of the eve
ming, Mrs. Eleanor Roosevelt, there
will now undoubtedly be a third
slate of delegates headed by a
Roosevelt, a name very potent IN
California.
"Such a development would, no
doubt, put California in the Repub-
hcan column in the presidential
elections of 1948. If 1t occurs, the
Republicans can thank Edwin w
Pauley, the man whose nomination
for Undersecretary of the Navy was
rejected by the Senate of the United

In fact, many Of them. stricken
by a run Of winning favorites this
week, closed out their stalls yester-
day and departed, even before the
of the mile-and-a- half
grind over the course that starts
uphill, runs downhill around the
single turn, and finishes on the rise
again.
Some estimates were that with
Tudor Minstrel running out of the
bookmakers had been saved
as much as f5,00o,00 (s20, ,000, ,o00).
For Richards. now 43 and nearing

nearly $500 wins since he left an

He was aboard the most highly
touted horse in years, and, for luck,

Hoodoo on Richards.
Almost before the numbers were
posted on the board for today's
the horseplayers were mur-
one of the old gags that has
been bouncing around British race
tracks for years:
There's a hoodoo on Richards
in the Derby"
Pearl Diver was practically I'M
heard of in the pre-race speculation,
which centered only on how far the
Minstrel would win by and who
would take second money.
Trained for the grind by P. Car
ter, Pearl Diver ran the III mile
In a slow 2:383s, far off the Derby
record of 2:334s held by the mighty
Mahmoud, who was exported to the
United States after his 1896 Derby
victory. Sonny Whitney paid $84, 900
for him.
Tudor Minstrel had no excuses In
the running. Along with Tite Street,
Saravan, Blue Coral and Cadir he
had all the best of 1t at the start.
At the first quarter, Blue Coral,
a 100-to-1 shot, was out in front,
with the Minstrel running an easy
fourth.
Minstrel Makes Move.
Rounding the turn, Tudor Min
strel made his move and the IA
vorite players figured that whisky
maker john Dewar's home-bred star
was on the way to the triumph that
had just about been conceded him
as he took command, q head in
front Of the flying Pearl Diver.
At that point, Sayajirao, Cadir.
Migol, Saravan and Merry Quip
were punched up, close to the lead
ers. But as they Strengthened out
for the stretch run Migoh began to
move up on the front runners and
Tudor Minstrel started to weaken.
A furlong and q half from the wire
Pearl Diver poked his way TO the
front and from there on he pulled
away with every jump.
American Ancestry Blamed.
The only apparent explanation
for Tudor Minstrel's fading finish
was that the mile and . half Of the
Derby route caught up with him.
That had been the only question in
his chances in all the pre-race
dope"
Some British breeding experts,
thinking OF the British Stud Book
which does not recognize American
stock, had speculated before the
race that II the Minstrel couldn't
go the route, II could be blamed on
his United States ancestry. Stx
