BY the Assoejoted Pres.

s. Howard Stable, on trial for al
legged doping Of horses, faced cross
examination today on his claim
that he was warned he would be
framed" If he raced the Howard
horses at Hollywood Park last sea-

Engle, testifying in his hearing

at Bay Meadows last spring:
Don't ship your horses down
there; they are going to frame
you"
Engle said Pore refused to tell
him who they were. Pore also
was subpoenaed for the hearing.
Engle Is accused of responsibility
for the alleged drugging of the
horses Fractured and Criss Cross
and illegal removal of q nerve from
the 1oreleg OF another horse, CALI

DR.. Jack Robbins, former veter-
marian for Howard, testified he
had been threatened If he testified
against Engle. Robbins did not
identify his threateners, but said
they told him he would be "cruci-
fed" If he appeared.
Engle categorically denied testi-
mony by Robbins that he knew
Gallivant had been "nerved" prior
to race at Hollywood Park May
lS, and that he had ever instructed
Robbins to administer stimulants
Of any sort to the horses in the
stable.

Russians Reported Lining Up
II Abreast in Bread SHORTAGE

Russians are also reported to
have crowded into the city from out
lying regions in search of bread.
The black market price was re-
ported to be in the last day or SO
40 rubles a kilo, which figures out
at the commercial rate of exchange
of rubles for dollars at about $500
a pound.
When the Russians discontinued
rationing of black bread, the staple
Russian food, last December the
black market price was three rubles
kilo and white bread was priced
at nine.
A month after rationing went into
effect the situation had so i'm
proved that there was no bread
either black or white, being sold
on the open market. The open
market provides a free movement
of supplies sold directly to con-
sumers by peasants and also of those
supplies which fall into the hands
of Spectators.
A 40-ruble price would put bread
out OF reach for the lowest Russian
income groups. Unskilled labor, ac-
cording to statistics available here,
averages around 400 to 500 rubles a
month.

Starting next Saturday, the Ches-

bers. The other, a special yellow

Anyway, telephone service has
grown so much here that binding
companies just couldn't handle a
book that big properly. One onicial
said the 1947 editions didn't hold up
too well.
The new books, which weigh about
two and one half pounds each, to-
gether contain SO more pages than

Republicans claimed that Mr.

Moscow yesterday was reported
gripped by a bread shortage so
severe that Russians are lining up
a dozen abreast for scarce supplies.
On the black market-what
Soviets call the open market-the
shortage was reported to have push
ed prices to near $3.50 a pound.
This information was reported to
the State Department in official and
private advices from the Soviet
Capital.
The scarcity of bread, and prob
ably also of sugar, is blamed in
these reports on a breakdown in
distribution. 1t is linked in the dis
patches with the dismissal on March
of Minister of Trade Alexander v.
Lyuoimov.
Little is known here about con-
ditions of the Moscow sugar supply
However, the bread shortage is said
to be so acute in the city and in
surrounding regions that on March
II there was one queue in which
people were packed % abreast over
the length of a block. Generally,
