Famed Negro Diplomat May Be
Called Upon To Seek Durable Peace
AT End Of Fighting In Korea
Palestine Peace Maker Express
Willingness To Serve In Korea

PUSHING MEADOW, N. v
July THE delegates of the Unit
ed Nations here Saturday discussed
the possibility of sending DIR. Ralph
Bunche, world famed Negro diplo-
mat, Nobel Peace Prize Winner,
and the negotiator of the Palestine
armistice agreement to seek a
durable peace in Korea once an
agreement is reached to end the
actual fighting.
DR.. Ralph Bunche, strongly Ko-
rea, and seek a durable truce.
He gave this hint after a num-
Der of leading diplomats began
sounding out other delegates on
the possibility of having UN Sec
rotary General Trygve Lie OF the
Assembly Draft DIR. Bunche for
taking over final truce negotia-
tions on Korea.
Asked about his attitude on me-
gotiating peace in Korea, DR..
Bunche replied:
II am at the disposal of the Sc
rotary general and assembly. I'll
go wherever they send me-"
No official approach has yet been
made to Dr. Bunche. But diplomats
have DR.. Bunche in mind for the
armistice stage in which political
problems must be touched upon,
either in limited or general form.
AS in Palestine, where the UN
official was acting mediator.
The cease fire and military truce
arrangements are in military hands
and the UN will not interfere.
In looking ahead, however, UN
delegates are agreed that broader
settlement must be attempted in
Korea during the summer if the
truce is to be anything but an I'M
stable cease-fire arrangement Civ

Chinese communists the right to

Ruffing has been a rowing coach

"As far as I'm concerned, I'm

earlier that the third base coach

Jockey Lynch Recalls His Fall
Saved Gilbert in 7umbIe Later
By Lewis r. Atehison

Jimmy Lynch, who is as bow
legged as a barrel stave, says he
got that way carrying water buck
cts, not riding horses. You can
almost believe it when you learn
that the veteran jockey, now rid
ing at Laurel, was a 13-year-old.
65-pounder when he signed as an
apprentice boy for the George D.
Widener stable.
The late Andrew Jackson JOY
ner. one Of the best of all train
ers, was in charge of the Widener
stable and put the lean Lynch up
on a horse for the first time. In
addition to working horses, Jimmy
had to carry water for them and.
to save time, he hauled four at
a time-two in each hand. Big
buckets, too!
II never thought about it at
the time" Jimmy said, "but that
job helped develop my arm and
shoulder muscles. Maybe it did
me more good than I realized"
Joyner had quite a few horses
in training at Saratoga when jim
my went to work for him and it
meant climbing down from one
horse and up on another through
out the morning workouts. Very
often Jimmy didn't have to climb
down. The horses threw him.
Lynch left the Widener estab-
lishment to go with Harry WakofT
at Rockingham when his three
year contract expired. He made
his racing debut there on a horse
named Race Street and he'll never
forget it.
1--WE were five lengths in front
at the quarter pole when he crossed
his legs and fell on his head"
Jimmy recalled. "It wasn't my
fault but got blamed for it..
About a month later the horse
ran here at Laurel. Johnny Gill
bert was riding him and, before
the race, I told him what hap

pened to me. Race Street got out
in front and halfway down the
backstretch he fell again. Gilbert
was ready for it and didn't get
hurt. After that the horse was
ruled off,"
Jimmy, now 80. started riding
in 1888 and he doesn't know
whether that's an omen or not.
He won the Delaware Oaks on
Nasophar in 1949, and last year
won both the Prince Georges
Handicap and Bryan-O'Hara Me-
mortal at Bowie on Seaward, max
ing some observers believe he Is
improving with age.
A consistent if not a flashy
rider, Lynch has no illusions about
ranking with such topnotchers as
Eddie Arcaro, Steve Brooks,
Johnny Longden and Ted Atch-
ison, but he is proud of one dis
tinction.
