FORE AND AFT
Ry Malcolm Lomborne. Jr.

| Back in 1926 when l.. Gordon
HammerSley drove his narrow
beamed Cigarette w to the first
Presidents Cup victory spectators
thrilled to 55-mile-an-hour
speed for the As miles. This
week end should see the winner
averaging IS and possibly 90
miles an hour.
For the first few years the
winners speeds slumped, going
as low as Al m.p.h. in 1929 when
Richard Hoyt's Imp won the cup.
Not until 1882 was Hammersley's
record broken. Bill Horn drove
Mrs. Ray T. Bsker's Delphine w
to a new record of 57.052.
Another five years passed be-
fore a winner broke the nearly
mile-a-minute average. It was
Herb Mendleson's great Notre
Dame, driven by Clell Perry. He
set a 64.516 speed that stood
until Dan Arena won the cup
for Mendelson in Notre Dame in
1910. The record was then
boosted to $500.
With World War II halting
the regatta for six years, Notre
Danes mark stood until 1946.
That year Danny Foster, driving
Al Fallon'S Miss Great Lakes,
came mighty close to breaking
the 70-mlle ceiling. He was
clocked at 69632. 1t fell to
Arena again to set new mile
stone. this time in 1943 with
Jack Schafer's Such Crust. He
raised the standard to 73.409.
Bill Cantrell added five miles
to. this record the next year in
Horace Dodge's My Sweetie
(78.510). Then in 1850 Chuck
Thompson piled on another five
miles in the Dossin brothers
Miss Pepsi for a new mark of
83.450. Last year he upped this
in the same boat to 84.472.
That's the way it stands as a
stellar field prepares to race at
5 pm. tomorrow in the opening
heat Of the feature race. Thomp-
son. Cantrell and Foster all will
be driving new and faster boats
and aiming for 80 miles or better
for the three heats. They will be
pressed by young Lee Schoenith
driving his fathers Gale II and
by the cool and capable Lou
Fageol at the wheel of Stan
Sayres' Slo-Mo-Shun V.
A major factor in the predicted
faster speeds is that the course
will be over Smile oval instead
of the time-honored 21a miles.
1t will give drivers just enough
additional straight away for
some new records.
The 100-boat turnout fof last
week ends sailing events of the
Presidents Cup was a consider
able drop from last years 168-
boat registration. Sail Chairman
Writ Gill believes the principal
reason was that the regatta was
being held for the first time
week after Labor Day rather
than the usual two weeks. Many
out of town shippers who raced
here in the past obviously had
other commitments. In addition,
there was one less class than in
1852.
But Gill feels the new date
should prevail and he believes
that as the word gets around,
many of the old standbys will be
coming back. Actually there's
not much room off Hains Point
for more than a hundred boats
at a time in any event.
There are two major wind
jammer events this week end on
the Chesapeake. The second dis
trict Star championships will be
held by Cambridge Yacht Club,
and Potapskut Sailing Associa-
ton stages its annual Queens
town rendezvous and raceback
for the big cruising and racing
yachts.

Aqreeto Ease Tension

Troop Recalls Probable;
Way Open for 5-Power
Conference on Trieste
By the Associated Press

ROME, Dec. 5.-Italy and Yu-
goslavia today agreed to take
immediate steps to "normalize"
conditions along their frontier.
Both nations had reinforced
border troops during recent ten
sion over the disputed Trieste
free territory.
The agreement was announced
by the Italian Foreign Ministry
after a meeting Of Italian Pre-
mier Giuseppe Pella with Yugo-
Slavia's Minister to Rome, Pavle
Gregorik.
1t is the first positive step
taken by the two countries to-
ward solution of the thorny Tri-
este issues.
The communique said that
during their conference Mr..
Pella and the YugoSlav Minister
agreed it was opportune to pro-
ceed Immediately upon stimuli
taneous action which will be
completed within a short pc
riod."
Troop Withdrawal Involved.
Presumably this would involve
withdrawal of some troops from
the frontier. Both countries
have separately suggested this
action.
Today's meeting was requested
by the YugoSlav minister.
Mr.. Pella said shipment of
strategic materials to Yugo-
slavia-blocked since tension be-
tween the two countries mounted
would again be permitted.
Both nations had made with
drawal of frontier troops a pre-
requisite of further study of the
involved problem. The long feud
came to head with the British
American announcement of Oc-
tober 8 that United States and
British troops would be with
drawn from Zone A and it's ad-
ministration turned over to
Italy.
Path Open for Five-POwer Farley.
Today's announcement could
open the way for Yugoslavia and
Italy to attend five-power con-
ference to solve the entire Trieste
problem. Such a conference has
been suggested by the allies and
Italy said on November % that
it accepted.
The Trieste situation has been
gradually subsiding since rioting
and demonstrations by Trieste
Italians on November and 6 led
to shooting by civil police which
took six lives and wounded more
than a hundred others.

BERLIN, Dec. 5.-The West
Berlin Free Jurists Committee
reported today that an ocean
liner scheduled to join the Rus
sian merchant fleet in two weeks
has been sabotaged in an East
German Baltic port and is in
danger of sinking.
The 21,000-ton ship, sunk in
World War II and raised by the
Russians, is said to be caught on
a shoal in the Warnemuende
harbor and listing badly.
The Free Jurists, an anti
Communist underground, said it

The Soviet Zone security po-

juriSts said, but added they did
not know their names or if they
were ordinary workers or highly

The sabotaged ship, according
to the Free Jurists, once made
the run between Hamburg and

Due to Strike
In East Dec. "a

A special board Of inquiry told
the White House today that an
East Coast longshoremen's strike
that will defy solution by the

be expected on December "a

ton expires.
The three-man board con-
cluded a review of the dispute,

Bargaining is at standstill.
The issue of union representa-
ton overshadows all others. Un-

"a strike should be expected, a

Atrocities Censure
Action Is Inadequate
Potter Ends 3-Doy Airing
Saying He Will Garry
Case to Congress
By J. A. OLeory

Senator Potter, Republican, of
Michigan, was preparing today
to take the Korean atrocity issue
to the floor of the Senate in
January, following his assertion
last night that the U. N. resolu-
ton of censure is inadequate"
After listening for three days
to American soldiers tell how
they were beaten, shot and
neglected while prisoners of the
North Koreans and Chinese
Reds, Senator Potter announced
he will introduce a resolution
calling on the Senate to urge
the U. N. to take further action
at it's next meeting.
Senator Potter said his de-
scription of the resolution the
U. N. adopted Thursday as "in-
adequate" was not criticism OF
American Ambassador Lodge.
Before the U. N. voted, Senator
Potter said, Mr.. Lodge indicated
he wanted the Korean atrocities
investigated by an impartial
commission. Senator Potter will
ask the Senate to indorSe that
further step.
Demands Punishment.
The Michigan Republican.
himself a leglesS veteran of
World War II, conducted the
hearings for Senator McCarthy's
Permanent Investigations sub
committee. And in a prepared
statement issued last night Sem
ator Potter said:
II pray that the desire of our
larger allies to cultivate their
foreign markets will not super
cede their desire to bring the
Communist war criminals to JUS
tlce."
The current controversy be-
tween Senator Mccarthy and
the administration grew out of
the Wisconsin Senator's proposal
to cut off American aid to any
country which trades with Red
China until the fate of war pris-
oners still unaccounted for is
settled.
Senator Potter said German
and japanese war criminals were
tried and convicted for atrocities
'far less bestial and calculated
than those committed by the
Communists in Korea. There
fore, every sense of decency and
good conscience should urge us
to spare no effort to bring ap-
propriate punishment to these
criminals
Senator Potter declared that
