As Ownership Is Decided

There was pony in the Ma
tional Press Club last night.
Whitaker munched hay in a
special stall in the auditorium
while deliberations on his future
went on
He was won in a drawing by
Miss Julie Dickinson of 2300 Con-
necticut avenue NV. But that is
the Windsor Park Hotel and the

So Miss Dickinson put it up for
sale during Carnival Night at the
Press Club.
And now Whitaker is owned. by
Tiny Meeker, orchestra leader and
member of the club. He has four

Md. They are Love, 8; Tina, 7;

Most in demand were automo- |
bile, aircraft. radio television and
chemical shares. Gains in these
groups ranged to more than a |
point.
Other groups were ignored en-
tirely or made only minor progress.
The market generally. though,

of around 100000 shares.
The four most popular groups
today also have been in demand
most of the week.
Automobile stocks have had the
benefit of record high sales for
most units in the industry and
prospects that business will stay
at or near peak levels for some
time.
Aircraft issues have been edging
up ever since pressure increased
in Washington for larger appro-
priations for military aircraft. De-
velopments in Congress thus far
indicate that economy will be sac
rificed in the interest of national
defense.

Nationwide Strike
Against Baking Chain
Not Due TO Affect D. T..

A threatened Nation wide strike
of the AFL Bakers Union against
the Continental Baking Co. would
not affect Local 118 or the COM
panys $50 union members here,
a union official said today.
The Federal Mediation and
Cancellation Service. a spokesman
said, has arranged conferences
here this week end with national
representatives of the 2,50O-mem-
ber union and the Continental
company, largest bread-baking
chain in the country.
The union has threatened to
strike Tuesday morning unless
Continental agrees to bargain on
countrywide basis. The COM
pany thus far has refused to do so.
Charles B. McClosky, head OF
Local 1l8 here, said the local ex-
poets to work out q new contract
agreement before May with the
Washington Employing Bakers
Association. which includes Con-
tinental.
The 1880 members of Local 118
in the District voted recently to
continue their 50-year practice of
bargaining with the association
instead of going along with the
international unions move, he
explained.
Union bakers here are asking
for a 10 per cent increase over
the present $1.65 an hour for
daywork and $185 for nightwork.
They also want a welfare fund.
The bakeries have offered a 10
cent-an-hour increase.
The international union strike
threat is aimed directly at SO of
Continental's 83 plants in 81 cities.
Other baking companies through
out the country would be ulti-
mately affected if the union, won
it's demand for industry-wide
bargaining.

borne troops who launched a
major offensive against a make

Exercise Swarmer war games.
But there's little make believe
about the Air Forces job. It has
to make the actual flights with
its giant transports to prove that
without help it can supply the
Army adequately for full combat
efficiency.
Two defense forces teamed yes
terday to throw wave after wave
of paratroopers into a pocket deep
within the territory of an enemy"
that has overrun the Carolinas. It
was D-Day of Exercise Swarmer,
an operation that is using 10000
men and CTS planes of all types.
High Washington military off,
cials expressed themselves as we'll
pleased with the air-ground CO.
operation during the assault
phases of SWarmer. But they re-
main to be convinced on the sup
ply phase.
Two Die in Mass Drops.
D-Day's two mass drops of
nearly 1000 paratroopers were
marred with two fatalities. Two
corporals, George w. Cooley of
Houston, Tex. and Edward c.
Thomas of Fayetteville, N. c.,
plunged to their deaths.
In addition, there were 80 other
paratroopers who suffered in
juries. Public information officers

ties were minor. Of the injured,
80 were from the 11th Airborne
Divisions 18TH Combat Team
and the remainder from the 505th

Senate Probers Weigh
Conflicting Views on
Curb Of Racing Data
~ ths ASsociossa Press

Senators weighing the merits OF
a bill aimed at curbing big time
gambling could take their choice
today between the conflicting
arguments of law-enforcement Of
ficials and gamblers.
City. State and Federal officials
who have testified over the past
couple of weeks have said such
legislation would cripple the ae-
tiyities of bookmakers. The
gamblers have denied it.
The measure before the Senate
Commerce subcommittee. which is
holding the hearings. would ban
the movement of gambling in
formation across State lines. II Is
aimed specifically at bookieS.
Gambler Frank Erickson ap-
peared at yesterdays session and
testified that he handles UP TO
S40,0 day in bets. for q net
profit of around 100000 q year.
Erickson Questioned.
Senator Capehart. Republican.
Of Indiana asked Erickson If the
proposed bill would put him out
of business.
Il don't think it would put book
makers out of business" Erickson
replied.
The subcommittee got pretty
much the same reaction from
James j, Carroll of st. Louis, one
of the country's biggest betting
commissioners"
Mr.. Carroll told the Senators
this week that the proposed
measure is a matter of complete
indifference to me-" He argued
that if betting commissioners
couldn't operate across State lines
they could still operate locally.
1T would all even up in the long
run" he said.
The testimony before the sub
committee has disclosed these
viewpoints:
!. Congress can no more stop
gambling by passing a law than
| 1t could enforce prohibition.
Gambling is as old as civilization
and people want to gamble. II
they can't gamble legally they'll
gamble Illegally. AS for book
makers. If they were cut of from
racing wire news they would adjust
their operations TO meet the
changed conditions and go right
on as long as local officials looked
the other way.
Some Feel It's Up to Public.
! 2. Congress can hurt the gam
blerS badly by denying them quick
horse race news. The proposed
legislation would halt wire COM
munications that form a loose and
unofficial link between book
makers. 1t would put the Federal
Government on the side of local
law enforcement agencies In con-
trolling gambling interests that
have grown too big TO be handled
locally.
Some Senators feel that the
real solution to the gambling
problem rests with the general
public. I".t.f
| Senator Tobey. Republican, OF
New Hampshire says that a NOR
al crusade" is needed to rouse
the public from its apathy to
gambling and crime. He agrees
with Senator Capehart that local
law enforcement agencies must
dedicate themselves to closing
down the bookies.
They can do it anytime they
want to-" Senator Capehart said.
