He referred to Judge James R.
Duncan's plea Thursday for a
cleaner city after five persons were
convicted of living in unsanitary
garages.
The health officer emphasized
that it was not the city's job to
keep private property clean. He
said it was done in this instance
to show the residents how neat
the alley could be made.
DR.. McGough said it was the
plan of his department first to try
to educate the people to the bene-
fits of keeping alleys clean.
IF that fails" he continued,
"then we will have to resort to

The 1949 Derby is sponsored
by The Star and Chevrolet, as
sisted by the District Department
of the American Legion.
Racers Chin Scratched.
First accident of the big race
occurred in the sixth heat. when
Chester G. Bethke, II. of 1919
Texas avenue Sc. lost control
of his car about 80 yards from
the finish line. Swerving across
the three-lane track, the coaster
rammed into a curb. Chester was
treated at a first-aid tent for a
scratched chin.
In the most sensational heat,
Cedric Egeli, IL. of Valley Lee,
Md, crossed the line winner
after swerving wildly during the
entire 1,000-foot course. After
crossing the line, Cedric. one of
three brothers entered in the
Derby, drew applause from the
crowd when his car missed by
inches another driver crossing the
finish marker.
Just prior to the race, the
youthful entries marched down
the course in colorful parade
which traditionally marks the
opening of Derby Day. In the
parade order to the finish line at
Carpenter street Sc. were:

street NV, winner of last years
race, rolled down the hill in the
sleek black speedster in which
he won the coveted first prize in
l948.
Gen. Moore Speaks.
Jack gave the contestants some
thing to shoot at, flashing his car
down the course in 3l.4 seconds
just ne-tenth of a second faster
than his time in the city cham
pionship- winning heat last year.
Brig. Gen. Ernest Moore, chief
of the Air Intelligence Division at
Air Forces headquarters here,
spoke briefly in ceremonies after
the parade. Praising the derby for
the "high competitive spirit and
sense of responsibility" it instills,
he said he understood no boy who
has participated in the derby has
ever been arrested for juvenile
delinquency.
There can only be one winner
here today" he declared. That's
the way it is in sports. But life
isn't exactly that way. There are
many winners. Apply yourselves
hard and diligently. because a
plugger is always a winner"
Vans Arrive With Racers.
AS huge vans arrived with the
coaster cars from the District
National Guard Armory where they
had been checked, the racer pilots
began work at the starting line on
minor adjustments and greaslng
their cars. Miniature grease racks"
were set up and employees OF the
Shell Oil Co. distributed lubricants
to the drivers.
Bob Rogers, IL, of 5512 Hunting
ton parkway, Bethesda, a runner
up in class B competition last
year, was forced to weigh-in his
141-pound shining aluminium racer
twice. The weight tag had been
lost as the car was brought to the
track.
Family members and friends
were grouped around almost every
youthful participant as they
readied their cars for the Dig
