nOnCn.
Outside of entries from Calu-
met, King Ranch, Brookmeade,
Vanderbilt, Belair and other
well-known stables, there is a
3-year-old running around out
here which can't be overlooked.
His name Is Your Host, an
Alibhai colt, owned by William
GoetZ.
Your Host can run and keep
on running. I saw him run
away with the California breed
ers Champion stakes a while
back at a mile and a sixteenth.
He carried lib pounds like a
feather and at the finish, four
or five lengths in front, he
looked as if he wanted to keep
on running. He has speed and
his share of durability.
In talking about Derby mat
ters with Jimmy Jones, the
Calumet trainer. the son of
Big Ben admitted he had his
eye on four good-looking colts.
Two are in Florida-two here.
Those in Florida are Theory
and Courage. The two here
are Shelter and Mostest and
Jimmy gives Contribution bet
ter than an outside chance to
show something.
Calumet Has Good Ones.
"I wouldn't like to say that
any of these five are going to be
close to Derby winners, either
here or in Kentucky" Jimmy
said. But we are at least in
much better shape than we
were at this time last year
and We still won with Ponder.
I guess Theory looks better
now than any of the others,
but it's a long way to either
race, especially the Kentucky
Derby. Contribution and Most
est. while still green, have both
shown me they have something.
But they'll have to improve,
which I believe they will"
The current three-year-old
situation is still in a more high
ly scrambled condition than it
was at this time last year when
Blue Peter, Mr.. Busher and
others rated well up were ailing
and practically out of consider
alton. "
DIR. Charles H. Strub, Santa
Anita's mandarin, isn't worry
ing about any racing slump.
I'm not bothering," he says,
because I know it will continue
for a while longer. Why not?
Motion pictures. theaters, night
clubs, all forms of entertain
ment are off. They are off just
as much as racing is. Maybe
more. I'm not guessing when I
make this statement. We got
away better this season than
we did in 1949 at Santa Anita,
but we had three holidays and
good weather to help us. The
general interest in racing is
shown by our opening day
crowd of $1,000, a record break
er, but there isn't quite as
much money around"
Apparently thousands of
people with television sets
would rather stay home than
go knocking around outside
acres. There has been nothing
in the history of mankind to
boost the homebound move
ment as television has done.
1t was interesting out this way
to see a man and a horse, both
famous, make successful come
backs in their initial attempts
after long absences. Ben Hogan
tied Sam Snead in the Los
Angeles Open at the end of "a
holes, with the playoff sched-
uled for next Wednesday, and
Citation won his first race since
popping his famous osselet 13
months ago.
OF course. it is no sure thing
that the long rest Citation en-
joyed has left him the Citation
of 1947. However, his excellent
time of 1:112s over a sloppy
track for the six-furlong race
was encouraging.

More Liberal Soc. Sec. Asked

WASHINGTON, (P) Senator George O-GaD said today a more liberal social security program is needed to protect additional mil lions of citizens and give them reasonable retirement benefits.
 Chairman of the Senate finance committee, he opened debate on a bill which fould add nearly l0,- 000,000 persons to the 35.000,000 now covered by the old-age and survivore insurance system and sharply increase benefit pay mentS.
 Administration le aders are hopeful that the Senate will fin ish with the bill early next week. It is a revised version of a meas ure passed by the House last Oct ober. Its enactment is a key part of the administration program.
 George said that a higher level of benefits is long overdue. He noted that the retirement sys- tem'S benefit formula has been unchanged since 1889 despite the sharp increase in prices and wage levels that have occurred since that time"

Soviet Union has earmarked the equivalent of S19,850, ,000,0 ,000 for defense this year. This repres- ents l65 percent of her total ex- penditures.
 This was disclosed in the bud get speech of finance minister A.. G. Zverev to the Supreme Soviet Parliament last night. Prime Minister Stalin and members of the foreign diplomatic corps were present.
 By contrast, Zverev said, the Soviet Union spent 326 percent of its income on defense in 1940 and A percent in 1946. The fig ure last year was 19 percent.
 There is no easy standard to compare what the United States and the Russian governments con- sider defense items. The current U. s. budget calls for an expendi- ture of $l3,O28,OO0,O 900 for defense which is 30.6 percent of the total budget. Comparative figures be- tween the US. and the U.S.S.R, vary because experts disagree on the ruble's purchasing power in relation to the American dollar.
 Speaking in Dallas, Tex, U. s. Secretary of State Dean Acheson charged the Russians are using their military preparations and communist plotting to break down the resistance of non-Soviet na- tions He accused the Soviet Union of holding poised bludgeon" over the weak nations to soften them for absorption by Russia. He added:
 T do not believe this creates an immediate danger of war. but it is being used as poised bludgeon to intimidate the weak, and it does confront the world with the possibility that the Soviet leaders, whenever they feel that they are strong enough, may be tempted to make use of military force as an instrument of their policy.

G. M. SETS NEW LABOR PACE

General Motors Corporation biggest and most cessfu manufacturing company in the United States has set precedent in the field of labor management lations by signing fiveyear contract with the United Automobiles Workers which represents 275,OO mem- bers employed by the Corporation.
 General Motors Corporation has 100000 employees, 18OOO independent dealers and 435000 stockholders. It made 2767 347 and trucks last year and had net profit of $656, ,434,238
 The general impression in business circles is that this fveyear pact indicates that in the opinion of those involved, business will be good for years to come that defiaon Is not serious menace and that with banded output the possibility exists for rising living standards in this country It also indicates fifth round of raises in industrial compensation for workers, which according to the financial experts will probably range between eight and ten cents an hour.
 The union estimates it's wage gains a nineteen-cent an-hour package" which would rise to thirty five cents by 1855.
 The company also agrees to add enough to social urity to guarantee pensions of S100 month at sixty five to workers with twenty-five years of service
 The significance of the agreement and it's effect in the Worker-employer field hardly be over-estima ted The largest company in the United States, willingly anG without contest grants to its workers advantages which considered radical demands many years ago

PART OF PROCEEDS WILL CD TO BUILD
 COMMUNITY HALL

A small group of Valley resi- dents, determined that a commu- nity recreation building is must" for the Valley, met this week to organize the Lake George Benefit Association. The plan of the group is to utilize self-dump- ing Lake George in a gigantic guessing contest, somewhat sim liar to the Panama breakup in the spring.
 The group plans to organize legally and to begin immediately to plan the mechanism of the project. It is expected that the contest will be wide, when plans are complete. However the Association hopes to run a trial contest for Valley residents this year, to test the practicality of the plan and the efficiency of time-measuring instruments to be installed at Lake George.
 The Associations incorporators expect to make up log of guesses, as does Nenana at the Tanana breakup. In the future, slips must be purchased on which to, record the guesses. This year, when no purchase is necessary, the day, hour and minute guess will be recorded on the coupon, printed elsewhere in this issue. The coupon must be clipped and deposited in container which

Youth Drowns In Hecker Lake

Antone Nudlash, 16- year old youth living at the Lazy Noun tain Children's Home, drowned in the shallow waters of Hecker Lake last Wednesday afternoon He met death in a spot where he might have walked ashore, had he stood up.
 The boy, in company with Paul and Walter Pederson, Wendall Wilson, Mickey Nickoli. Burt Shaginoff and Macar Galeskoff, left the home about 72:30 WeC' nesday to go swimming in f' lake, located about a quarter -l a mile from the junction of th Wolverine and Lazy Mountain roads.
 The six disturbed a flock of ducklings with their splashing, and the boys scattered in pur- suit of the ducks. Antone fol- lowed one which sWam away from the group, and became sep arated from his companions.
 The other five failed to notice that he was missing, for time. When they found him gone, they became frightened and returned to the Lazy Mountain Home to get help. A group of searchers returned and combed the lake, locating the body about five o'clock Wednesday evening. It was estimated that the youth had been in the water for about three and a half hours. The body was found by Walter Phillips and Sidney Lindeke.
 An inquest was held Wednes- day evening, at which coroner's jury returned a verdict of acci- dental drowning. Jurors included Paul Beechick, MT Phillips, MT. Lindeke, Stanley Laird, Kenneth Hughes and Eaton Hubbard.
 Antone is believed to be sur vived by a sister in Anchorage and mother at Clark's Point. At press time, the identity of neither was known.

Nome-ite Suggests Palmer Take Steps To Relocate Railroad

Antonio Polet, the MT. Nome of Alaska, who visited briefly in the Valley last week, prescribed a remedy for Palmer's transporta- tion ills, which he recommended should be administered immedi- ately. Why don't you get the main line of the Alaska Railroad relocated through Palmer?" he queried over his shoulder as he boarded a bus en route to An chorage and thence home to Nome.
 The Alaska Development Board member said he thought the sug- gestion would find merit in the eyes of prominent Alaskans. Ask the Development Board to help you," he directed Don't try to do it alone. And when you've found. the help you need, then carry your fight clear to Congress. People will listen to you if you have something to say, if you say it often and we'll enough
 The Nome visitor pointed out the economies that could be achieved, if the plan were carried through. With Palmer on the main line of the Alaska Railroad, special daily runs to Jonesville could be eliminated.
 He sees the plan as one way of securing daily train service the length of the Railbelt, with the Jonesville coal cars carried on the regular train and switched at Palmer for the short haul to Jonesville
 The Development Board mem- Der said he felt the plan would push Palmer from the village to city class, in a short span of time, and that the added transportation service along the Railbelt would

LIFE SKATERS PHOTO VALLEY FARM LIFE

Life has come to Alaska, and more recently to the Matanuska Valley. Last week reporter Ruth Adams and photographer Tom McAvoy, longtime member Of Life's staff, arrived here to do a picture story of the Valley.
 The pair have been in Alaska for most of the spring, and al ready have jaunted from Attu to Nome and Point Barrow. Follow ing the completion of their work in the Valley and in Anchorage, they'll see Kodiak, Valdez and Fairbanks and then will return to Juneau and the southeastern area before returning to their home office.
 Their overall purpose in Alas "a is to do a picture story from the defense angle, Miss Adams explained. "We came to find out what is going on here now, in the way of defense" she said, "and to learn what the military has done for Alaska, as well as what Alaska has done for the military" /"
 Tn the Valley the photographer and reporter have been working on a story which will compare the life of new homesteader with that on an established dairy farm, which has been in existence for a number of years. For their sub iects. the team chose the family of R. H. Petit on Lazy Mountain, as the homesteaders. Their life will be compared to that on the Victor Falk dairy farm, in the picture story.
 The story is expected to appear in the mid August issue of Life.
