from Earle Sande, one-time

be a repetition Of the thrilling
Kentucky Derby, with Dark Star
and that big gray colt" figNing

Sande speaks With the voice
of experience when he talks of
the "big gray" (Native Dancer)
, and Dark Star. Naturally, at
IS, he's not figuring on riding
either Of them, but it wasn't too
many years ago that he piloted
some Of the Nations greatest
thoroughbreds over the hallowed
racing strips of Churchill Downs
and Pimlico.
II saw the Derby on television,
but I didn't see Money Broker
slam into Native Dancer as they
say he did," Sande remarked as
he watched the horses parade in
the walking ring at Belmont
Park.
He's High on the Gray.
II thou2ht Native Dancer ran
a wonderful race, coming from
way back and almost catching
Dark Star. But you can't take
anything away from Dark Star,
because he set all the pace and
hung on with tremendous cour-
age to win by a head"
Would the gray thatched
Sande predict the Preakness
outcome?
well, I'm crazy about that
gray streak. but it should be a
terrific horse race-Just as it was
in the Derby"

Douglas Irons Rule
Round Robin Golf;
Hand Bothers Snead
BY the Associated Press

WESTBURY, N. Y, May Is
The $17,500 Meadow Brook
Round Robin golf tournament
swung into its 36-hole iron man"
phase today with Dave Douglas
irons and Sam Snead'S left
hand the chief items of concern.
Douglas, 35-year-old touring
pro from Newark, Del, is OF to
a big first-round lead in this
mathematical links derby and, if
he can continue his peerless iron
play, there may be no over
taking him before Sundays
Windup.
The man most people figured
to win the top prize, defending
Champion Snead, has aggravated
a nine-year-old hand injury and
may prove to be not much Of a
factor.
Snead'S Grip Insecure.
Snead, who won this event in
1888 and again last year, broke
o bone In his left hand years
ago in an informal neighborhood
baseball game. Recently the in
jury has been acting up again,
he said. and yesterday it seemed
to get worse.
II noticed the club slipped a
couple of times" he said.
A friend advised that Sam
may have to undergo an opera
tion on the wrist which could
put him on the sidelines for two
years. Snead himself says therell
be no surgery. He plans to con-
tinue playing, with the United
State Open next month at Oak
mont his main immediate OBJ
jectiVe.
The willowy Douglas shot a 66,
q course competitive record, in
the first round yesterday to pile
up plus-18-point score, If bet
ter than his closest challengers,
Lloyd Mangrum, Bobby Locke,
Jimmy Demaret and Jim Fer
rier, each with plus 4.
Sneads Four Others Even.
Snead, who rallied after q
slow start to shoot a SO, was even
with the board, along with four
other players, Ed Oliver. Jim
Turnesa, Cary Middleton and
Byron Nelson. All others were
in the minus category.
The point total is figured by
comparing the cards of each
foursome. Douglas picked. up his
18 points because his three rivals
Doug Ford, Tommy Bolt and
Ted Kroll-each shot 72, each
losing six points to Dawes 66.
Thus each of them is minus 6.
Today the pros are playing

Douglas is matched with Byron
Nelson, Jack Burke and Ed Oliver
in the morning and with Tur-

the afternoon.

BOTH OBSERVANCE OF
BE KIND TO ANIMALS
WEEK BEGINS MAY 3

Animals will have their week"
beginning Sunday, May 8, with
the seth annual observance of Be
Kind to Animals Week. The event
is sponsored by The American HUI
name Association and more than
600 local animal protective or
carnations throughout the United
States and Canada.
In announcing the Observance,
Mrs. George Mills White, Pres. of
the Humane Society of Key West,
said that lin this Be Kind To
Animal Week we want to concen-
trate attention on the need for
caring for animals throughout the
entire year" We want especially
to show people how to be actively
kind. Someone said once, unless
we are actively kind we are
cruel.
This is very true, for after all
cruelty is rarely outright brutality,
more often it is neglect, and in
difference. To turn our heads the
other way may not seem cruel at
first thought but by doing so we
are refusing to take a part in
averting cruelty.
Many people would not kill an
animal with their own hands, but
they would think nothing of put
ting a mother cat and her kittens
in a bag, tying it up and throw
ing it out along the Keys. This
happened recently around Pine
Key. The poor animals starved to
death inside the bag. The kind of
people who do this could not bring
themselves to have the animals
put to sleep in the gas chamber,
when we have a humane society
near at hand 10 do this for them.
Or it might be possible for the
humane society to find homes for
the unfortunate cat and her kit
tens.
Recently dog was found dead
tied to tree out on Stock Island.
These two instances of course are
deliberate acts of cruelty, hard to
reconcile in a Christian land.
Too few people really know what
their local humane society does.
For seven years we have had a
group who have willingly given
Of their time and money in order
to maintain an adequate animal
welfare program. Much has been
accomplished in correcting condi-
lions of longtime neglect and in
difference in Key West, but there
is till much more to be done. In
Be Kind to Animals Week, let as
learn to be actively kind, for "he
who is not actively kind, is cruel. y

Mccarthy Says
British Protect
Some Red Ship
BY G.. MILTON KELLY

WASHINGTON R--Sen. McCar-
thy (R-Wis) said today Chinese
Communists are at least part
owners of some ships hauling
goods to Red China under pledged
protection of the British Navy.
Mccarthy said he mas evidence
also that the French government
owns three ships carrying cargoes
TO the Chinese Reds, and has yet
to pay the U. S. government in
full for any of them. They were
purchased fro mthe U. S. Mari
time Commission, he said.
Mccarthy said he hopes to shed
light on the cargoes involved when
his Senate investigations subcom-
mittee explores these and other
matters in public hearings Mon
day. The hearings had been sched-
uled for tomorrow but were
switched to Monday by Mccarthy.
The U. S. has banned American
shipments to Red China and Bril-
tain and France have forbidden
ships flying their flags to carry
strategic materials to either the
China mainland or North Korea.
Mccarthy contends there has
been Wholesale violation Of that
order by some British-hag ships.
He said recent trade statistics
Of British origin show ''fantas-
tic" squirt in export trade to China.
Much of the rise, he said, has
been in the shipment of sodium
compounds. He said he wants the
u. S. Department Of Commerce
to determine whether these could
be used to produce war.useful
explosives, and why some of the
carriers had orders to avoid any
ports where they might come I'M

Airman Robert Weinbrandt of

his story once, twice, three times.
He had been shot down on a BIG

He was a prisoner four months.
Sure, he was glad to be home.

told of the monotonous POW diet

will stay in the Army. Medina
wants to 60 to college and major

in. They were questioned, left
alone, questioned again. All were

up to leaving last night.
Seven were told they would be
flown today to government hospi-

over. For others, the end is not

WASHINGTON IA - Sen. Mundt
(R-SDJ disclosed today what he
called highly accelerated
State Department effort to elimi-

team" from top policy positions.
His disclosure took at least some
of the edge off this aspect of Sec
rotary of State Dulles questioning
at closed session of a Senate APP
preparations subcommittee today.
Reporting to the nation over RAJ
do and televiSlon networks last
night, Dulles compared U. S. eco
nomic aid in Europe to the crutch
sick man uses until he gets well
enough to throw it away.
Eve believe that this is beeom-
ing increasingly possible, =" he COM
mented in saying Americas allies
in Europe are getting strong
enough to require no more outright
grants. Nevertheless, he said, the
U. S, win continue to spend sub
stantial sums" with them.
Dulles said he told this to Brit
iSh, French and other European
officials at the meeting in Paris
last week of the North Atlantic
Treaty Council. lie said these al
lies welcomed relationship
which would be dignified and self
respecting for all concerned"
The secretary declared the Coun.
ell provided for a steady buiIdup
of Western defense, which he de-
Scribed as '"no longer a push.
over" and said the Eisenhower
administrations plan to substitute
trade for aid viii ''get more Sc
curity for less money"
Mundt said the Senate Subeom-
mittee was informed at a secret
meeting this week that Dulles has
replaced over 50 persons in key
positions for policy reasons alone. "
A few involved shifts from policy
to nonpolicy posts, he said, but res
ignations accounted for the rest.
In addition, Mundt said, the adj
ministration has removed or OBJ
tanned the designations of 40 others
for reasons of suitability, secur-
ity or homosexuality" since the
COP took over Jan. 20. Another
ll2 applicants have been denied
jobs since then on the same
grounds, he added.
But in an interview today, he
said:
Il am very much pleased from
the testimony of Under Secretary
of State Bonold Lourie at the
highly accelerated rate Of turn
over now, which am told win be
continued, if not intensified.

which called Dulles is considering
