Excitement Mounts
With Dramatics Due
In Santa Anita Can
By the Asseeiotsd Press

ARCADIA, Calf, Feb. 25.-
Handicap Day" struck this COM
munity On the outskirts of Los
Angeles today and excitement
mounted by the hour as post time
approached for the start of the
18th renewal of Santa Anita's
famed 100000 horse race.
Excellent racing weather and 8
fast track lent credence to the
belief that all of the II thorough
breds entered in the race would
answer the bell Cat about 7::30 pm.
EST and that the Calumet entry
of Citation, Ponder and Two Lea
was a mortal lock to sweep major
honors.
Barring scratches, here was the
lineup. in post position order
jockeys and weights for the 114-
mile gallop for gold:
Two Lea, Johnny Gilbert, liz
pounds; Old Rockport, Gordon
Gibson, 115; Moor, Johnny Long
den. 109; Ponder. Steve Brooks
1874: Citation, Eddie Arcaro, 1872;

Why Not. William Boland, Ill;
Solidarity. Ralph Neves. 118;
Niche, Jackie Westrope, lis. and
On Trust, Johnny Adams, lit.
Citation Carries Big Appeal.
That was the field, smallest by
one in the history of the race,
but viewed beforehand as one OF
the most interesting. packed with
potent dramatics. in the long series
Of the hundred granders.
Citation, bringing his comeback
campaign to it's climax, aiming at
the turf's all-time money winning
championship and restoring his
reputation as one of the sports
all-time greats, carried the big
appeal of the classic.
But veteran horsemen were
skeptical that the star of Warren
Wright's fabulous string had re-
gained the brilliant form he
flashed as the triple crown champ
Of 194S. and they feared he would
miss the goal just as his star pred
ecessor in the Calumet Stable
Armed, did in the 1947 Santa
Anita handicap.
Ponder Is Horse to Beat.
To them, Ponder, the stables
1949 Kentucky Derby winner and
victor two weeks ago over Citation,
looked to be the best horse of the
Calumet entry. Victory by Ponder
they said, would not be as dra-
matte as a Citation triumph, but it
would be less of a surprise.
Nor did they discount Two Lea,
rated one Of the gamest 4-year-
old f1llies in racing today, as a
serious factor, either as the victor
or as an important factor in the
Calumet's triple threat strategy.
Whatever the outcome, the track
management looked for 10000 or
so fans and even limited that the
turnout might approach the record
IS, 500 in 1947 which saw Olhavery
upset the dope and Armed finish
a tired fifth. Largest crowd at the
current meeting was $4,000 on
December 26.

Wednesday night. and an autopsy
showed death was accidental"
These facts we're revealed at
yesterdays open hearing, con-
Quoted by the State Athletic Com
mission. with Chairman Eddie
Eagan presiding and 10 witnesses
IN attendance. Eagan said a re-
port will be made sometime next

A noth her investigation was
launched behind closed doors at

dental during a professional box
ing bout"
Referee Among Witnesses.
Roach, an ex-Marine, died at
1880 pm. Thursday in st. Clare's
Hospital, where he had been
rushed after being knocked out in
the 10th round by George Small
of Brooklyn at st. Nicholas Arena.
Frank Fullam, who refereed the
bout, testified how Small, trailing
on points, shook up Roach with a
right in the eighth round. In the
final round another right felled
Roach for seven and seconds later
he went down again from a sim
liar punch.
'As soon as he fell, called it
off," Fullam reported. The vet
eran referee explained that he ex-
amined Roach closely before the
ninth and tenth rounds, but found
nothing unusual about his ap-
pearance.
II talked to him right after the
fight. I said. How do you feel?'
and he said, I'm all right, I'm all
right"
Much Of the testimony dealt
with a sore nose Roach had COM
planned of last Sunday.
According to DR.. Alexander
Schiff, a physician on the COM
mission staff. nothing happened
to Roach's nose during the fight
that might have caused his
death" This statement was
backed by Johnny Abood, man
ager and close friend of Roach.
Detective Saw No Negligence.
Detective 1t. Henry Devlin testi-
fled he saw the fight and there
does not appear to be any negli-
gence at this time"
Small said, when the 10th
round started he (Roach) was
coming right back at me. hit
him with a good left hook that
shook him up, but he kept COM
ing right back, even after the
knockdown and the count of seven. ="
Roach, he said. did not seem
groggY even then: "Up to the
knockout he was still forcing the
fight"
Others who testified were Dan
Dowd, executive secretary of the
commission; DR.. Jacob Silverstein
of Millburn, N. j.: DR.. Vincent
Nardiello, commission physician;
DR.. Nathan Zvaif1er, Newark, N. j.
and Oscar Goldman, commission

Bonding Business Cleanup

District Court judges have acted in the best
interest of the bonding business in adopting new
rules governing the activities of bondsmen. The
tighter regulations will eliminate abuses that
have brought discredit on some members of the
group. From now on there will be no excuse
for the type of peculiar record-keeping revealed
at hearings before the Davis subcommittee in
vestigating crime in Washington.
At those hearings there was testimony about
concealed Identities of persons who paid bonding
fees for some wel-known gamblers (''Mr. xxx"
was frequent "angel" of those arrested). There
also were indications of tie-ups between bonds
men and lawyers for mutually beneficial pur
pcses The subcommittee was properly critical
of conditions described by number of witnesses.
The new rules will require the keeping of ade-
quate records by bondSmen, regular inspection of
the records by court attaches the maintenance
of office facilities where bondsmen can be regu-
larly reached by the court, the disclosure by
bondsmen Of any police record they may have
and the 1ngerprinting of all applicants for
bonding certificates. Furthermore, no bondsman
would be permitted to serve customer in any
capacity except that of his calling. Specifically,
he would be prohibited from putting customer
In touch with any lawyer. These rules, if rigidly
enforced will pave the way for much-needed
cleanup of bonding operations in local court
circles.

buildings. Office buildings-and, yes,
sewage treatment plants in the North.
Children, who will be our citizens of to-
morrow. deserve proper buildings, as are
being built in Arlington.
Arlington County is not poor COM
munity. Instead it can afford good
schools for its children-children who
don't complain but children growing up
with fixed impression of the commu-
nifty. There is much to be done in
Arlington-let's do it right.
While finding no fault with The Star
Building. which was in it's time beauty,
and in respectable dignity still contrib
utes to The Stars existence, let me point
out it was of permanent construction.
Assume that it had been built of cinder
blocks-could it have lasted until today?
Surely. it would have cost less. but
upkeep would have been high. 1t is
even possible that with the cheaper
appearance offered by such a building.
The Star could not have matured to its
present position as family newspaper.
Think it over seriously. and maybe your
editorial staff will change sides.

Ending Our Spanish Error

President Truman's decision to nominate
Stanton Griffis as Ambassador to Spain brings
to an end one of the least admirable of the
policies followed by the United States, in con-
cert with the United Nations, since the end of
the Second World War.
The story of that policy is worth reviewing.
In December of 1945 Norman Armour our last
Ambassador to Madrid, was recalled year
later, after the Security Council had rejected
Kremlin- directed attempt to act drastically
against the Franco government threat to
the peace (the charge patiently ridicuous),
the General Assembly passed a resolution calling
upon all it's members to withdraw their heads
of missions from Spain-a resolution which the
United States fully supported. The move was
designed to weaken GeneraliSSimo Franco at
home. But it did the opposite. More than that,
since it violated the Charters provision against
interference in the internal affairs of any state,
and since it could not be justified on grounds
of either common sense or morality, it threw an
ugly light on the judgment and integrity of
the u. N. itself, as we'll as individual members.
BY 1949, however, events had made clear
that this action, besides having failed as regards
undermining Franco, was not merely bascally
fraudulent but altogether absurd-absurd be-
cause it was aimed at weakening one of the
strongest Of anti-Communist countries at time
when the Western world, led by the United
States, needed to do everything possible to for

Building Arlington Schools

I have read your articles on excess
costs in Arlington schools with mixed
feelings. 1t is time that one more person
added his thoughts to others which have
been published. The type of construc-
ton used in Arlington schools is not
excessive: in fact, 1t is the least expensive
in the long run.
There are roughly three classes Of con-
struction available to a community:
Temporary, semi permanent and perma-
nent. Temporary construction is gen.
orally of wood frame type, and even the
most ardent supporters of economy
wouldn't support it. Semi-permanent
construction may be considered that
which will last 20 to Is years, with re-
pairs required frequently. Such semi
permanent type construction can last
almost forever by patching. It takes on
a look of patching.

be used for schools is the permanent type
