Hi-Lo's Forbes Tops
Field Of s in $4,000
Laurel Pace Tonight

Hi-Lo's Forbes. whose flying
hoofs have caused dust storms
in Eastern parts of the country
this year. goes running after an
other bundle of green stuff to-
night at Laurel Raceway. Pac-
ing would be a better word, for
Hi-Lo's will meet five rivals In
the $4,000 Laurel Cup free-for-
all pace.
Hi-Lo's Forbes is being flown
from Syracuse. N. Y, especially
for tonight's race. He has been
racing at Vernon Downs.
Laurel officials believe this is
the first time a harness horse
has travelled by air. A cargo
plane is flying the champion
PAGER on the hour-and-a-half
trip. and is due to arrive at
Friendship Airport about 4 pm.
The Cinderella" horse, owned
by Mr.. and Mrs. Earl Wagner of
Landover Hills, is expected to be
no better than to S in the bet
ting, although he never has run
away from a field. A length, or
even a half-length, will satisfy
Henry Clukey, his 66-year-old
driver.
Clukey piloted the horse to his
world record of 1:583S at Roose-
velt Raceway earlier this year
and followed up with the first q
minute mile ever recorded in
Maryland in the $4,000 Laurel
Invitational three weeks ago.
Meadow Rice Rated Second.
William G. Reynolds Meadow
Rice. starting from No. 5 post
position Just outside Hi-Lo
Forbes, stacks up as the probable
second choice. The 4-year-old
was beaten by Hi-Lo's in both
of the races above, but he made
the winner show his best in each.
Guinea Gold, winner of last
years Laurel Cup. will be back
to defend his title. Raced at a
mile and one-half last year.
Guinea Gold covered the dis
tance in 3:06 fiat. equaling the
world mark. Driven by Paul
Hungerford, he'll leave from
No. 2 post position.

NEW YORK. July S.-The
National League goes after its
fourth straight All-Star victory
Tuesday in Cincinnati with a
pitching staff which at least on
paper appears to overshadow its
American League opposition.
Manager Charlie Dresser con-
veniently overlooked his own
makeshift Brooklyn hurting
corps and came up with q mound
staff Of seven which owns a
combined seasons record of "a
victories and 80 defeats.
This compares with Casey
Stengel's six-man staff which so
far this year has a 47-3O record.
That's a winning average of
$50 for the National League and
$40 for the American.
Dresser chose four right
handlers, headed by the majors
winningest pitcher, Robin Rob-
erts of Philadelphia, and three
left-handers to face Stengel's
assortment of one southpaw and
five right-handers.
With Roberts 1856, the Ma
tional League has Gerry Staley
(12-3) and Harvey Haddix
Q0-3 of the Cardinals, Warren
SPAIN (10-3) of the Braves, Curt
Simmons G-5O of the Phillies,
Murry Dickson (7-9), of the Pi-
rates and Hoyt Wilhelm (5-D
of the Giants.
Parnell, Mats Passed Up.
Stengel braved the wrath of
Boston and Washington by lin
;ting his staff to Cleveland, st.

KEGS. Philadelphia didn't have
a top-flight pitching candidate
but the Mats offered Bob Porter

The Springfield Virginians gel
their fourth chance to beat
Heurich Brewers in a game at
$50 pm. today on the West
Ellipse. and a victory for Spring
field would tie up the Industrial
League lead for the first time in
two months.
The Virginians, with q AZ
record in second-half play. have
failed in three previous attempts
to knock OF the defending city
champions. The Brewers lost
only to Silver Hill in winning the
first half and so far in the Sec
ond have lost one of six games,

Arcade Pontiac beat Indian Head,
8-4, in the Anacostia League and
the 1020th Air Force Wing edged
Philippines, 4-3, in a 10-inning
Ellipse League game.
Bernie Foley of the Philippines
had a three-hitter going until he
retired in the top of the ninth
for a pinch hitter. The strategy
paid of at the start when Ray
Liccini hit two-run triple that
tied the game at 3-3, but later
the move became suspect as Luc-
cini also replaced Foley on the
mound and gave up the winning
run in the bottom of the 10th
inning. With the bases loaded
and one out. Manager Charlie
McDonough of the Flyers hit a
fly to the outfield that drove in
the last run.
Champions at Their Best.
! Silver Hill, the Industrial
League defending champion,
! jammed its best hitting and
pitching of the year into one
game as it defeated last-place
Bonat's. Frank Catterton won
his second decision of the season
by hurting a two-hitter while his
mates supported him with 19
safeties. Every Silver Hill player
| got at least one hit with Monk
Barbee leading the parade with
four singles as the Sandmen won
their third game in seven.
Bill Rector's homer in the
ninth capped an easy victory
for Arcade Pontiac over Indian
head. Arcade scored twice each
in first, fifth, seventh and ninth
innings while Joe Smith was
holding the Indians at bay with
a flve-hitter.

war against communism and not
a colonial war.
The French stressed a desire
to do everything possible to
clean up the Communist forces
in Indo- China, but pointed out
that there were financial and
economic considerations which
made it difficult to carry out
their hopes alone. A State De-
partment spokesman said there
were no specific requests for in
creased American aid.
President Eisenhower told Mr.,
Mayer this Government intends
to help more but needs to know
more details of what the French
program is for winding up the
Indo-China war in order to help
determine how it can aid the
effort. This question was being
explored in further meetings.
The United States now is bear
ing agout 80 per cent of the $1.2
billion a year cost of the fighting
in Indo-C China. Tentative plans
for increasing this aid by from
$50 million to $100 million a year
are reported under consideration,
although no decisions have been
made yet on any part of the new
administrations foreign aid bud

man dispute over the Saar
emerged as apparently one OF
the most troublesome aspects Of
the conference.
Mr.. Mayer is understood to
have indicated that his govern
ment will balk at bringing the
EDO into effect until at least
the general lines of a settlement
linking the industrially rich Saar
to France have been worked out.
Mr.. Dulles reaction was that
the United States, while realiz-
ing how important France con-
siders the Saar issue, could not
agree that in a legal sense a set
tlement was prerequisite to rati-
f1cation of the EDO treaty.
Germany Seen Vital.
The EDO project calls for
arming West German soldiers as
part of a unified European army
to include French, Italian, Bel
gian, Netherlands and Luxem-
bourg forces.
President Eisenhower pointed
up the Importance of this prof.
ect by .stressing at the initial
conference session yesterday
that he does not believe any real
defense of Western Europe is
possible without participation Of
German forces.
A French suggestion that aid

as well as do-China be
planned on a longer term than
the current year-by-year basis
was received sympathetically.
Mr.. Dulles told Mr.. Mayer the
idea rather appealed to him in
principle. No commitment was
made, however. Indications
were a two or three year aid
program may possibly be studied.
The conference split into
separate sections this morning.
Part of the French delegation
went to the State Departments
International Conference Room
at 1778 Pennsylvania avenue
NV. for continuance of polit-
ical and military talks with Mr..
Dulles and Defense Department
representatives. Others went
to the Treasury Department and
the Federal Reserve Board for
economic and financial discus
SionS.
A plenary session was sched-
uled at 1778 Pennsylvania ave-
nue. NV. this afternoon. The
full-dress conference is set to
wind up at another meeting with
Gen. Eisenhower at the White

U.N. Rejects Demand
For Inviting Reds 10
Germ War Probe
BY the Assoeioted Press

UNITED NATIONS, N. Y,
Mar. 27-The United Nations
Political Committee turned down
today an Asian backed Soviet
demand to invite representatives
of Communist China and North
Korea to come here to present
charges of germ warfare against
the United States.
The vote was Is in favor to
40 against, with five abStentionS.
Russia's Valerian Zorin in
sisted that genuinely objec-
tive and impartial investigation"
of the charges could only be
held if the Red Chinese and
Koreans were present. He was
strongly supported in this posi-
tion by L. N. Palar of IndoneSia,
who told the committee it should
take the constructive and opti-
mistic view" that the Communist
representatives m G hit "ofter
hitherto unknown facts"
Fact-Finding Body.
Ernest A Gross, deputy United
States representative. said the
committee was merely being
asked to set up an impartial
fact finding body and that the
Communists could present their
germ evidence" to that group.
He said there was no need to
give the Red Chinese and Ko-
reans further opportunities to
spread libel" here and, make
lengthy propaganda speeches.
Even if the 60-nation COM
mittee adopts a resolution set
ting up the investigation COM
miSsion-aS the United States
has asked-there is little hope
the Communists will permit it
to operate.
The Communists already have
rejected repeatedly Western de-
mands for any kind of impartial
examination-by the 1nterna-
tional Red Cross or representa-
tives of neutral countries. The
Russians charge that the Inter-
national Red Cross is not truly
international but an outfit domi-
mated by the United States. They
have rejected proposed United
Nations investigating teams on
the grounds they, too, would be
partial to the West.
ViShinsky Returns.
Andrei Y. ViShinsky, chief So
Wet delegate who returned yes
terday from top-level policy talks
in Moscow with the new Malen-
kov regime, already has launched
the Russian line against the
United States. He introduced a
document to be used in his argu-
ment in the committee purport-
Ing to give testimony by two cap
tured American Air Force officers
that the germ war charges are
true.
Britain also has passed around
a pamphlet containing argument
against the Red charges which
her chief delegate, Sir Gladwyn
Jebb, has made in past United
Nation debates.
Besides this hot East-West de-
bate-promising more bitter
feuding in a committee which
already has been blistered by
vitriolic charges in the past week
-Vishinsky expected to attend
the Security Council meeting
this afternoon on the thorny
question of a successor to U. N.
Secretary General Trygve Lie.
Most delegates believed that
unless Vishinsky brought from
Moscow some proposal for break
ing the present deadlock over
a new U. N. chief, this would
be the last Security Council eff

Western. delegates felt that if
the deadlock isn't broken, the
question should be dropped until

resignation because of Russian
pressures, but said he would stay
on until a successor was chosen.

this was the situation on key is
sues:
/. American officials were seek
ing from the French details of a
program in which stepped-up
United States aid could help to
break the stalemate in the 7
year-old war against Communist
rebels in Indo- China.
2. Secretary of State Dulles was
trying to persuade the French
not to let their dispute with Ger
many over the Saar hold up rati-
f1cation of the European Defense
Community Treaty.
Economic and financial prob
lens were up for discussion to-
day at meetings of some of Mr..
Mayors associates at the Treas
ury Department and the Federal
Reserve Board.
Mr.. Mayer told his Press Club
audience that France suffers
from the effects of the unbal-
anced trade between the Euro
pean world and the dollar zone."

and collective solvency with the
ultimate purpose of bringing
about convertibility of European
currencies."

He added that the European
countries could not achieve this
without United States support.

ton to fulfill her duty toward
the free world, not only in Eu-
rope, but also in the rest of the
world, and especially in 1ndo-
China"
Describing the fighting in
Indo-China as the "misunder-
stood war;" he asserted that the
battles being waged by French
and Viet-Namese troops there
"are serving not merely to pro-
tect Indo-China against subver-
sion but to protect the whole of
