MIAMI, Fla, JAM 24.-Owners
and trainers who nominated
horses for the McLennan and
Widener Handicap at Hialeah
were happy today to learn that
Charfran Stables Crafty Admiral
was not named for either Of those
rich races.
The 4-year-old son Of Fighting
Fox out of Admiral's Lady turned
in a brilliant performance yester-
day to win the $4,000 Palm Beach
Handicap and set q new track
record for Z furlongs at 1922 fiat.
He clipped rs Of a second OF
the standard set by Dispose In
Il941 and tied by Yankee Hill In
1850, proving he is one OF the
fastest horses in Florida this
winter and might have been hard
to beat in the longer races later
on had he been nominated.
Palatine Stables Woodchuck,
sensation Of the recent Tropical
Park meeting, set a blistering pace
and opened up a 2-length lead at
the far turn, but Crafty Admiral
was on his heels all the way.
When they passed the sixteenth
pole, Jockey Conn Errico put on
the pressure and Craft Admiral
responded with q tremendous
burst of speed to race Woodchuck
into defeat and win by 2 lengths.
Fractional times for the race
showed the first quarter in 0:22As,
the half in 0:444s and three quar-
ters in 1:09B.
Oil Capitol, racing for the Hasty
House Farms and Mrs. H. Trotsek,
was 8 lengths back Of Woodchuck
to take third money and Prop was
another 2 lengths away in fourth.
There were 10 starters and
Crafty Admiral was q 10-1 choice
in the betting. He paid $23 40,
$500 and $3.50.

U. 5. Pays 81 Million
Monthly 10 Job|ess
Korea War Veterans

The Government is giving 81
million a month in unemployment
payments to veterans who have
served in the armed forces since
the Korean war began.
The rate is expected to rise
slowly as veterans rolls increase
and winter weather cuts job op-
portunities.
Labor Department officials, in
disclosing the 81 million figure,
said it is about what they ex-
pected from the new jobless aid
program that began October Is.
Post-Korea veterans who are
able and willing to work. but can
not find jobs, are eligible to re-
ceive $26 per week for 26 weeks
from State and Federal payments.
U. S. Makes Up Full $26.
If a State does not pay an eli
gible veteran the full $26. the
Federal Government makes up
the difference.
During November, Labor De-
partnent officials said, Federal
payments totalled 1891 ZOO. Dur
ing the six weeks ended Novem-
ber 80, payments totaled $1,057,-
900. Fifteen per cent of the totals
supplemented State Grants.
The first six weeks of the pro-
gram brought $4,000 individual
claims. But Labor Department Of
ficials were encouraged by prelim-
mary statistics that indicated
more veterans were asking for
help in getting jobs rather than
handouts.
1850 Jobs in November.
Labor officials said that in No.
vember they got jobs for 12,600
veterans.
To be eligible for the payments
veteran must have served 80
consecutive days in the armed
forces, including at least one day
since June q, 1850. If he is
out of work as long as one week,
he can start collecting. The pay
ments do not vary with the vet
eran's previous rank or duty.
Servicemen or women who re-
ceived mustering-out pay. how
ever, must wait up to 80 days
before filing claims.
