Record Field OF
23 In The Derby

LOUISVILLE, MAY up =
A record field of % horses was
entered today for the Kentucky
Derby tomorrow, promising one
of the greatest racing scrables in
the nations most famous horse
race.
If all go, the 77th running of
the Derby would be the richest,
with a pot of $129.100 and $101,-
050 to the winner.
People even were betting this
warm day which horse would be
the favorite, and it seemed the
combination of the Cain Hoy
stables Battle Morn, with Jockey
Eddie Arcaro, might get the nod
over the c. V. Whitney entery of
Mameluke and Counterpart.
Battle Morn was listed in the
early line at A to ], with the Whit
ney pair at 5 to /. This was a late
switch, which reversed the odds
prevailing yesterday.
1t is probable at least % horses
will be at the starting gate to-
morrow at 4:30 pm, since the
Brown Hotel stable of j. Graham
Brown has said only one of its
two horses will start. Trainer Joe
Puckett entered Snuzzle and The
Gink, but said Snuzzle would 20

NEW YORK, -LPl-New York
Reporters learned this week that
nobody can really fade away"
like an old soldier named Douglas
Macarthur.
For five days, the general faded
away from all physical contact
with press or public. In that
time, he continued to make the
front pages every day, but no
neWsman saw or talked to him
From last Friday and his Of
ficial reception here until he left
for Chicago, the press corps got
nowhere near the General.
The General remained secluded
in the 37th floor Presidential
Suite of the Waldorf Astoria Ho-
tel The newsmen, radio and tele-
vision reporters who maintained
an almost round the clock vigil
were in a seeond-floor press room
500 feet below
One hardened police reporter
talked his 'ay up the elevator to
the 37th floo.. There he was inn
mediately turned around by two
big. armed military policemen.
One photographer made it to
the 21st floor. He was there only
to take pictures of the Generals
mail And he was there only by
a pool" arrangement that is,
one photographer to represent the
entire corps.
All the press questions about
the deposed command were hand
Lei by intermediates.
| visited the second floor press
room and never saw a more frus-
trated group of reporters. Every
time they phcned the 37th floor,
they said, they got mo answer.
The only one in the room who
knew how to reach the Generals
New York headquarters was Paul
Stewart, the hotels publicity di-
rector. He did it in secret, by
asking the switchboard for a sec
ret operator
Stewart didn't talk directly
with the General. He talked with
his Chief Aide, Mai Gen. Court
ney Whitney. Sometimes, he only
got a Sergeant.
Stewart explained that the Cen
erals press arrangements were
very informal" Others in the
room said a better word was
"unpredictable." 1t was, they
pointed out, the habit of Gen.
Whitney to drop down to the sec
ond floor now and then to an
swer questions.
The newsmen began framing
questions to put to Gen. Whitney.
"As long as we're fishing" one
said, we might as well push the
Formosa thing a little further. !"
A woman said, ''how about that
Philadelphia report that MacAr-
thur was offered $4,000,000 (M)
for his memoirs ?"
whitney said he'd be down
between IL and H. Stewart Of
fered hopefully
Well. it's 1905 now" some
body said.
Stewart fidgeted. I'll give him
another five minutes"
Then we all waited.
At 1214 Stewart tried Whit
ney. The line was busy, At 1920
Stewart got a Sergeant on the
phone. 7 think he's on his way
down" he said.
At 1926. Gen. Whitney entered
the room. A balding man with a
ruddy face, he announced inn
nediatcly, 7 have nothing at all
unless you have some questions.
There were many questions
from what did Gen. Macarthur
think about the new US. mission
to Formosa, to how much does
The General read the newspapers /?
This last question produced the
response that Gen. Macarthur
reads only the official commun-
iques on Korea in the newspa-
pers.
