|Tiuhter Rule on Bettinq
Comeback Money in
Maryland Suggested
BY the Associated Press

BALTIMORE, Dec. 12.-State
Senator Crothers.. Democrat, of
Cecil County. questioned last
night whether present horse rae
ing commission regulations against
betting comeback money at Mary
land tracks cover the situation
enough to stop the practice.
Senator Crothers, chairman of
the Judiciary Committee of the
Legislative Council. not only sug-
gested the commissions rule
should be expanded, but intimated
a State law might be in order.
Referring to a recent court &C
quittal of Bowie officials in con-
nection with comeback betting,
Mr.. Crothers said it was against
a regulation but not against a
law"
Distinction Made.
The Judiciary Committee heard
Frank Small, chairman of the
racing commission, admit that
while it had rule against tracks
accepting or aiding bets made
from outside the track that it
was accepted practice for bettors
to make deposits at the start of
the days racing and wager until
they were exhausted.
He said there was a difference
between an individual bettor be-
ing accorded such service and a
lay-oft representative of a book
maker outside the track.
Mr.. Small first described come
back money as more than is safe
for a bookmaker to hold" The
bookmaker then has a representa-
tive at the track bet the money.
The racing commission chair
man admitted it was difficult to
determine what constitutes come
back money.
Mr.. Small, in answer to a ques-
tion by Senator Della. Democrat
of Baltimore. that such betting
Evening star., 1951-12-12

had been prevalent for Is years at
Maryland tracks, replied:
"Of my own knowledge, I don't
know. But they say it has been.
Not for 80 years was there a spe-
cific rule prohibiting persons COM
ing to the track, depositing money
and betting against it.
Adopted Rule Last Year.
Personally, I don't see any
thing wrong with it if the man is
betting his own money. If it's
coming over wires from outside,
it's illegal and should be stopped. I"
Mr.. Small said the racing COM
mission adopted a rule against
tracks encouraging or permitting
comeback betting last year after
learning it was going on at Bowie
He said, "In our opinion and
upon advice of the Attorney Cen
cray, we feel we have a rule to
prohibit it, but 1t doesn't pro-
hibit deposit of money" by a
bettor.

Army Says II Failed
To Find Collision in
Bids on Auto Parts
BY the Associated Press

DETROIT, Dec. ia refer
ence to possible "collusion" be-
tween big auto companies and
their suppliers in defense con-
tract bidding enlivened a con-
gressional inquiry into Army pro-
curement policies today.
Federal Trade Commission at
torneys were watching for any
evidence of illegal trade restraints
as a House subcommittee on
executive expenditures held its
third day Of hearings. The group
is examining particularly the
Army's huge Detroit ordnance
tank-automotive center. which
buys everything on wheels" for
the defense department.
Industry representatives were
invited by Representative Hardy,
Democrat, of Virginia the sub
committee chairman to take the
witness stand. At least one COM
pany-Chrysler-already has &C
cepted.
Investigation Was Made.
Representative Meader, Repub-
lican, of Michigan, former chief
investigator for the old Senate
War Investigating Committee,
brought up the "collusion" matter.
He asked Brig. Gen. Carroll H.
Dietrich, commander of the tank
automotive center, whether he
knew of any "collusion" among
contract bidders.
William L. Cary. deputy Army
counselor, intercepted the queS-
ton and replied that the Army
had investigated, He said he found
no specific instances of agree
ments between bidders but added
that he had turned over the re-
suits of his inquiry to the Federal
Trade Commission, which looks
into possible antitrust actions.
Commented Hardy:
Then what you found was a
reprehensible practice but no legal
means to cope with it.
Close Figuring.
Albert C. Lazure, general coun- |
sci for the Ordnance Department,
said the Justice Department in
veStigated a case where one COM
pany bid $1,340 and another
81 .339.97 on the same part.
Representative Boiling, Demo-
crat, of Missouri questioned |
whether Mr.. Cary considered such |
similar bids "a series of coinci- |
dences."
1T may represent a trade prac-
tice which may not be valid before
the courts" Cary replied.
Army officers previously testified |
they had had to pay double or
more for replacement parts bought |
from assemblers along with ve-
hicles than they would have if
they could have procured them
directly from the parts manu-
facturer. But they said many of
the manufacturers refused to bid |
on parts jobs.
Representative Hardy contends
the Government has had to pay an
extra $305 million for parts in
the past three years because it
has been unable to obtain them
direct from the manufacturers.
Gen. Dietrich and other Army
officers defended their procure
ment policies on the grounds that |
they get what they need when
they need it. They also said the
assemblers-the big auto COM
panies-provide valuable engi-
neering, inspection. expediting
and material procurement Serv-
ices

The Rev. Skyles, who was
invited to spend his vacation
here by Axel Schade, vice pre-
sident of the Virgin Islands

busy since his arrival that he
was forced to cancel several

Exempt from Wage
Stab. Regulation

The Territorial Director of
the Wage and Hour and Pub
lie Contract Division of the
United States Department of
Labor has advised Governor
de Castro that by order of
August 81, 1851 the Wage Sta
blization Board exempted the
wages, salaries and other COM
pensation of employees sub
ject to the jurisdiction of the
War Solicitation Board in
Puerto Rico and the Virgin
Islands from Wage Stabliza-
ton regulation.
The exemption was con-
tanned in General Wage
Regulation 16 which was I'M
animously adopted by the
Board. The consideration stat
ed in the order for exemption
is that wages paid to employ
ees in Puerto Rico and the
Virgin Islands are far below
wages paid for comparable
employment on the US. main
land.
"In the unanimous judge
.ment of the Wage Sterilization
Board" said the order, under
present circumstances CON
tinued application of Wage
Sterilization regulations to
employees in Puerto Rico and

sarv to effectuate the purposes

planned; Daniel Joseph filled
in temporarily.
Because it was the first app
pearance of the organization,
and the audience was primari-
ly interested in knowing
details as to its plans and pur-;
poses, the principal speaker
Canute A. Brodhurst, was in
troduced first.
Mr. Brodhurst following his in
troductory remarks, explained
that with the coming unification
of the Islands under a new Or
ganic Act, the co-founders of the
League felt that the time had
come when Councilmen should be
sponsored by some organization
and no longer be permitted to run
independently for the Municipal
Council. This is why we have been
defeated in almost every encoun-
ter with an organized group, he
said.
He spoke of the accomplish
ments of the members of the Saint
Thomas Council because whether
one agrees with them or not they
are organized, they take a stand
and, even if they at times have
some differences of opinion, they
get together when the interest of
st. Thomas demands it. Not so in
ST. CroiX.
Here there is no semblance of
political unity. Each person
launches forth on his own, fights
his own battles. Most of the times
Councilmen know little or nothing
of what is going on. He pointed to
the post of Administrator. No one
in St. Croix,. least of all, the
Councilmen, knew what Cover
nor de Castro had in mind.-Until
now not one have the slight
est idea the name submitted to
the Interior. The people here US
ually know nothing until it has
happened. That is because of the
