Schuman Gives >@ Anti-InflatiOn Bill,

PARIS, (P) Premier Robert Schuman presented a new anti imitation bill to the French nation al assembly today and threatened to resign if any changes were voted in it.
 The bill was designed to raise about l20 billion francs-a bill lion dollars.
 Schuman decided to withdraw a previous anti-inflation bill ap- proved by the assembly. That measure gave Frenchmen choice of paying l50 billion fracs addi- tional income tax or of investing the same amount in government bonds. It was designed to help pay for a big reconstruction program and to drain off excess purchas- ing power.
 Amendments in the chamber cut the expected income from the bill by about third. Deputies ex- empted several classes of French citizens from its provisions.

Soviet Horse BettOrs Have Troubles, Too

MOSCOW {P-The flat, or sad dle-racing season has ended in Russia, to which a number of per sons commented-thank goodness, or words to that effect.
 It has been a strenuous season, full of pitfalls, very long and very short odds. Almost everything has happened.
 This correspondent had one of his horses disappear off the tracK and head for the White Russian railway station. On another occa- sion a fancied favorite, coming in- to the stretch two lengths behind, threw his jockey into a light post, achieving bullseye with his toss if not a place for his packers.
 With the arrival of cooler wee- ther racing in the U.S.S.R. goes on a solid trotting diet. Snow? Why that doesn't interfere with racing he-e. It goes on just the same.
 This correspondent gets consid- :, able correspondence from horse layers in the United States ar l Britain asking certain ques ions about Russian racing which seem obvious, but obviously arer't. Hence a few answers.
 1. Racing in the U.S.S.R. is a government function. There are no Irivate owners of race horses.
 z. Racing, as a part of horse breeding, comes under the Min is:ry of Agriculture.
 3. The betting is on a pari-mu- tuel basis. There are no ibookies.
 4. Bets can be placed from 10 ,ubles Approximately two dollars) pwards. The average bet is 50 rdbles.
 5. There are two ways of bet t.ng, "express" or doubles" the English words being employed in each case.
 Express means you buy a ticket ca two horses in the same race. You pick one to come in first and ile other to come in second. If they finish in that specific order you win. If they come in in any p her order you don't win.
 6. You can never tell about the odds. Sometimes for these tickets you get back as little as 60 rubles for betting 50. On other occasions t:le pay-off is into the thousands The biggest odds this season were il6,OO0 rubles for 100.
 2. The jockeys are called "Zho- l;ies," and wear their own colors
 8. The running is over circu- lar track of 1,600 meters. The shortest distance is 1,200 meters t'pe longest 5000. The average race is 1,500 to 1900.
