BALTIMORE, May 25.-Rac-
ing fans can go on arguing
whether Native Dancer is great,
good or just the best of poor
crop, but there's no question the
gray colt has color and a public
following that can really do
tricks with the odds board.
Never has a horse caused such
a distortion of betting as The
Dancer did in the 77th Freak
ness Saturday at Pimlico.
There was $685. ,639 bet on the
seven horses and $546,663 of it
was on Alfred G. Vanderbilt's
winner. Moreover, while they put
$185, ,705 on him to win and $79,-
382 for second, bettors poured
in an amazing $281.576 on him
for third.
This was outsmarting the rae
ing laws of Maryland. The
State guarantees 10 cents on the
dollar, and The Dancer didn't
figure to be much over that to
win. He wasn't. paying only
$2.40 for first and 20 cents less
in the next two spots. Pimlico
had to fork over $46,0l2 of its
own money to make the mini
mum payoff.
So great was the public faith
in Native Dancer that the next
lowest win price was 11.20 to l
on Royal Bay Gem. And this
disparity despite the fact that
Native Dancer had been beaten
three weeks before in the Ken
lucky Derby by Dark Star. one
of his competitors in the Freak
ness.
The public made Dark Star
their third choice at 11.30 to /
and he finished fifth.
Some observers still weren't
fully sold on Native Dancers
greatness after Saturdays race.
Their reluctance was due to his
failure to win by any more than
a long neck over jamie K, the

Murphy 0utroIIs MouIton
To Retain Duckpin Title

Fred Murphy still is the area S
match-game duckpin champion.
Murphy, who early in the season
set an all-time District record
with league set of 523, retained
his title last night at Colonial
Village. His victim in the final
was Jack Moulton, beaten four
games to three.
Thus the annual tournament,
which started with a field of 20
stars, wound up in a battle of
bowling alley managers, Murphy
of the Queen Pin and Moulton of
the Bladensburg lanes.
In the finals, Murphy averaged
1915 and Moulton 1866.
In the semif1nals, Murphy de-
feated a surprise performer in

TAFT LOOKS AT MILITARY SPENDING

Senator Robert A. Taft Majority leader of the Sem
ate, recently said ne thought military spending would
profit from complete restudy of the Defense Depart
ments program At the he revealed that he is
hoping that $400O0OO0OO be cut from the proposed
military budget for the coming year. as submitted BY for
mer President Harry s. Truman.
Senator Taft asked if he thought cuts could be
made in the Defense Department. Senator Taft said
frankly he was But he pointed out that only three
years ago General Of the Army Omar N Bradley chair
man Of the Joint Chiefs Of Staff had told Congress that
SlS,5oo,OoOo00 military budget adequate.
Though admitting that the Korean War had changed
matters considerably Senator Taft estimated that the
military budget would be only about $4,000 to-
day Bradeys view had been correct three years ago
and those expenses allowed adding in the complete
cost Of the Korean War But instead Of S25 900 900
the Defense Department is requesting over $25
600 for the fiscal year beginning in July.
Senator Taft thinks President Humans estimate of
S7SO0OOOO000 for the fiscal year 195S-54 beginning
July LIST can be reduced by approximately $4,000 O00
00O In addition to Topping 81 900 100000 off the De-

President Truman estimated that expenditures in
the fiscal year beginning in July would be approximately
$7S000000000 and that collections would be approxi-
mately $6SO00O00000. Tafts hoped-for cuts can be
effected then expenditures would be cut down to about
