Laurel Raeeway Strip
Resurfaced for Meet
Starting Thursday

A resurfaced racing strip heads
the list of improvements made at
Laurel Raceway for the opening
of its 20-night harness horse
meeting Thursday.
Ted Ketchum, who supervised
the track work, said the strip is
faster than it ever has been and
that it certainly should see more
records set this season, its fourth.
The stable area also has been en-
larged and improved.
Dick Hutchison, ir., president of
the track which began the revival
of the harness sport in Maryland,
said many other improvements
have been made for the conven-
fence of spectators.
High on that list are the Al new
selling and cashier windows. With
that number added, track officials
anticipate that no bettors will be
shut out this season because of
spending excess time in long lines.
AS supplement to the down.
stairs windows, mezzanine mu-
tuel plant has been built to re-
duce crowding. A ramp also has
been installed.
The grandstand has been in
closed in the back and ventilated
and has a new cement floor. Din
ing facilities in the clubhouse have
been enlarged.

Ross Horse Finishes
81 Lengths Ahead
OF Race Lightweight
BY tn. Associated Pres.

WILMINGTON. Del, June g.
Cochise, from the Brandywine
Stable of Donald P. Ross, presi-
dent of the track, ran one of his
best races at Delaware Park today
when he captured the, $500
Sussex Handicap for a second
straight year and tied the track
record of 2:02 for a mile and a
quarter.
The gray 5-year-old. carrying
topweight of 124 pounds, COM
pleted his sparkling effort 31a
lengths clear of William ziegler.
jr.'s, Bit o. Fate, the lightweight
of the six-horse field under 108
pounds, which included two
pounds overweight for veteran
Jockey Joe Renick. Third money
went to Mrs. Walter M. Jeffords'
Post Card, who only a week ago
ran a dead heat with Cochise in
the shorter Brandywine Handi-
cap. Post Card lost the place by
Az lengths.
$1,000 Witness Race.
Cochise closed a slight favorite
over Thomas G. Benson's sluggish
Lotowhite, paying $640 for 81. A
crowd estimated at $1,000 cheered
the victor home.
Although both Cochise and Lotto
white closed at odds Of $500 to 81,
there actually was slightly more
money wagered on the winner.
Cochise equalled the track
standard held by Stymie and
Flying Missel. Stymie set the mark
in winning the 1948 Sussex and
Flying Missel tied his record in
the same stake in 1949.
Only the fact that the Delaware
racing strip dried out remarkably
fast made Cochise starter. The
track was slow this morning but,
even with overcast weather, was
fast by the third race.
The race crossed $2S, 400 and
netted the winner $19,350.
Back of the first three. in order,
came Sun Bahram, Royal Cover
nor and Lotowhite. The latter,
third behind Cochise and Post
Card in the Brandywine, failed to
come on with his usual stretch
speed.
Takes Over at Far Turn.
Post Card and Royal Governor
raced heads apart passing the
stands the first time, with OWE
Shurlock biding his time with
Cochise in third place, a length
or SO away, and Bit O'Fate next
in line. Cochise gradually closed
IN on the two leaders on the back
stretch and forged ahead nearing
the far turn.
Moving into a comfortable ad-
vantage around the bend for
home, the gray horse continued
smoothly and was not menaced
by Bit OFate's late challenge.
Post Card saved the show by a
length over Sun Bahram. Lotto
white was beaten more than a
dozen lengths by the winner.
Going into today's 18th program
of the 1851 session, betting was
running approximately 1872 per
cent above the first 10 days last
year, while attendance was up
about 1917 per cent.

Arkansas State press., 1951-04-27

A jury of seven Negroes and five
whites, after twenty five hours of delibera-
ton, refused to bring in verdict of guilty
against William l.. Patterson, national ex-
cutive secretary of the Civil Rights Con-
eress recently in Washington.
With several jurors, led by a young
Negro woman government employee, in
sistng that they could not bring themselves
to convict the Negro Gro leader Judge
Holtzoff dismissed the jury and suggested
that the government not seek to try Pat
terson again.
~ The CRC head had been charged with
contempt" of Congress for allegedly re-
fusing to turn over names of contributors
to CRC. His citation by the House Select
Committee on Lobbying Activities came
after Rep. Henderson Lanham (D.-Ga.) had
screamed "You black s.. of B." at a
committee hearing and then attempted to
hit Patterson.
Despite Judge Holtzoff's recommended
ton to the government, CRC spokesman
have expressed the fear that a second at
tempt to indict Patterson may be made by
the Justice department. They have issued
an appeal for kilograms and letters to At
torney General J. Howard McGrath, Wash
ington, d. c., urging complete dropping of
the Patterson Indictment
In his trial, Patterson was represented
by Negro-white battery of defense law
yers. Counsel included George Crockett.
prominent Michigan Negro attorney, former
Congressman Vito Marcantonio and Ralph
Powe, Negro attorney of Washington, d. c.,
and secretary of the Gro legal staff
In a statement issued to reporters at
Arkansas State press., 1951-04-27
Patterson's Exoneration Is Significant

the u. S. District Court House in Wash
ington, Patterson declared, in this trial
we witnessed truly heroic resistance on the
part of a group of Negro and white jurors
against an attempt by all three branches of
government to send leader of the Civil
Rights Congress to jail
He explained, First, the Congress of
the United States cited me for contempt
instead of impeaching Henderson Lanham
for his insult to 100000 Negro Ameri-
cans. Then the Justice department through
its prosecutor, attempted to remove Mr..
Crockett from my defense because he had
participated in the defense of the eleven
Communist leaders. And finally, Judge
Holtzoff himself showed bias and prejudice
against me and the Negro people through
out the trial"
Patterson continued, II believe tha
both Negro and white jurors realized that
the government was trying to imprison me
to please Lanham and his fellow Dixie
Gratis. They had heard testimony to the eff
feet that / led the fight to save the Scots
boro men, the innocent Martinsville Mar
tyrs, and that | was presently engaged in
the campaign to save Willie MCGEE and the
Trenton Six. That is why they did not bring
in the verdict desired by the government"
Throughout the trial, Gro reported,
kilograms of support came in to Patterson
in the courtroom from Negro and white
trade union leaders, ministers and Ameri-
cans in all walks of life. In addition, thou
sands of kilograms were sent to Attorney
General J. Howard McGrath protesting the
indictment of the internationally known
Negro leader.
