Jersey Boat Speeds
To Three Wins in Six
Miles River Events
BY the Associated Press

ST. MICHAELS, Md. Aug. Is.
Richard O'Dea of Paterson, N.
j., hogged the Miles River Yacht
Clubs regatta today by winning
three of the six speedboat divi-
SionS run off.
O'Dea drove his Yankee Rebel
to victory in the Glass A utility
race and A and B stock hydro
planes events. He won both
heats in two of the classes and
one Of the two in the third.
The races today were for boats
using stock outboard motors
which aren't supposed to be
"juiced" up. but used as they
come from the factory.
This rule caused cloud to be
cast on the victory of Ken Eek
strom of Baltimore with his
Snuffy II in the Glass D utility
division. After the races, me-
chanics reported the intake on
Eckstrom's motor had been
polished.
Al Bauer. the referee, said
polishing would round off the
squared intake and tend to "soup
up" the engine. Bauer said a
report will be made to the
American Power Boat Associa-
ton which will decide if Eek
strom should be disqualified.
Except for Eckstrom, New
Jersey invaders took all the first
places. Second behind Eek
strom's questioned first was Jack
Holt of Fort Belvoir, Va, in
Baby Boo.
.- One hundred boats competed
with only one damaging spill.
Louis Wingo of Baltimore was
overturned in Flying Wing when
he hit the anchor line of a spec
tator boat. Wingo's boat was
damaged, but he was not hurt.
The regatta continues tomor-
row with races for runabouts and
bigger and faster hydroplanes.

Seixas and Trabert
Lead U. 5. Sweep by
Gaining Both Finals
BY the Associoted Press

NEWPORT r. l., Aug. Is
American tennis aces completed
one of their best days against
Australia today by sweeping
Lewis Hoad and Ken Rosewall,
the whiz kids from Down Un-
der" out of the Newport Invita-
tion tournament.
Vic Siexas of Philadelphia and
Tony Trabert of Cincinnati.
slated to carry the burden for
the United States in the Davis
Cup matches, will battle it out
for the title tomorrow.
The doubles finals also be-
came an all-American event as
the Australians we're eliminated
in the semi-flnals.
Seixas and Trabert outlasted
Mervyn Rose and Rex Hartwig
of Australia, third-seeded for
eigners, IS, 3-6, IS, 6-8.
6-3.
Qualifying to meet the first
seeded Americans by an upset
were third-seeded Bill Talbert
of New York and Ham Richard
son of Baton Rouge, La, who
routed the top-seeded foreign
twosome of Hoad and Rosewall,
Ga, 8-6. 60.
But it was 19-year-old Rich
ardson, expected to be the third
member of the American Davis
Cup squad. who turned in the
mightieSt feat of the day.
Before he lost to Seixas in the
singles semifinalS, Richardson
came from behind a I'll set
deficit to upset the power hit
ting, 18-year-old Hoad, GO,
3-6, As, 6-1, 6-3, in rain
interrupted quarter final.
Seixas Beats Richardson.
Seixas, last years Davis cup
captain, downed Richardson,
GO, rs. Ga, after Trabert
had routed Rosewall, 6-3, 6-3,
8-6. It was the first time SeiXas
had gained the final round in IL
tries.
Richardson and Hoad played
their first three sets yesterday
The strong Aussie youngster led
two sets to one when a downpour
forced postponement of the fin
ish until today.
This morning Richardson
quickly asserted his mastery. He
broke Hoad's forceful service on
his first try and then smashed
the Australians serve three more
times in a row. In the final
game, Hoad reached game point
seven times on Hams service.
1t looked like Richardson might
choke" in realizing he was so
close to winning. But the Lou
isiana youth shook off the jitters
and pounded through for his VIC
tory.
SeixaS, however, was too
powerful and sharp for Richard
son in the semifinal. Ham was
tired after his great comeback
against Hoad and didn't offer too
much resistance to Vic's kicking
serves and expert volleys.
Trabert AvengeS Defeat.
Trabert, beaten in straight
sets by Rosewall in the Eastern
grass championships last week.
showed that he has shaken off
a good amount of the rust &C
cumulated in his Navy hitch. He
answered Rosewall's best shots
with winning drives-and dis
couraged the AusSie's net rushes
with flashing passing shots and
teasing lobS.
Tony broke Rosewall's usually
reliable service seven times while
his own was taken four times.
When Rosewall scored his fourth
break through to tie sail and
then went ahead 6-5 in the
third set, it appeared he might
be on his way to another of his
famous comebackS. Trabert,
however, killed off his hopes by
reeling off the next three games.
Thus the first all-American
final was set up here since 1850.
Frank Sedgman, now a pro, won
in 1851 and 1852, beating two
Australians, Rose in 81, and
Ken McGregor, also turned pro,
last year.

adopted by the Treasury Depart
ment, as well as the increases in
interest rates on veterans and
FILA home loans.
"All of us have peen assured, :"
he said, that although the rise
in interest rates would add to
bank profits, this was only in
cidental to the main purpose of
the new Treasury policy, namely
to halt imitation. These argu-
ments would have been more
convincing if the Treasury action
had not followed the dropping
of stock margins which could
only be considered as an anti
def1ationary measure"
He said the banks would profit
from the increased trading on
the stock market expected to
follow the margin order.
"The record of the RFC over
the past 20 years is so clearly
favorable in its support of the
public interest that the only
real basis for the campaign
against it is the narrow. ap-
