Gordon Richards Out
7 Months After Spill
From Queen S Horse
BY the Asseeiaisd Pres,

SANDOWN PARK, England,
July 10.-Sir Gordon Richards,
England's champion jockey, was
thrown from horse and seri-
ously injured today, the second
time this year the worlds win
ningest rider has been injured.
The 50-year-old jockey dis
located his hip when he was
thrown by Queen Elizabeth's
horse Abergeldie seconds after
Richards had finished chatting
with the Queen in the parade
ring. The horse reared, fell and
seemed to roll partly over on
the Jockey.
"Sir Gordon's injuries are
serious, although he is not in
any danger" a hospital bulletin
said tonight. "He will not be
able to ride for at least two
months"
Richards, who has ridden
nearly 1900 winners since 1921,
was thrown from q horse at
Salisbury May 10. Because of
the spill, Richards was unable
to ride the Queens colt, Landau,
in the EPSON Derby, England's
most priced race.
Only a year earlier Richards
had won his first Derby in years
of trying aboard Sir Victor
SaSSoon'S Pima. The victory,
which was immensely popular
in England, came a few days
after the Queen, as part of her
coronation ceremonies, had made
him the first professional rider
ever to be knighted.
Attendants said Queen Eliza
beth was greatly distressed by
today's accident and asked that
reports of Richards condition
be telephoned to Windsor Castle.
She had left the parade ring
just before the horse reared out
of Richards control.

General Hospital, presented their
complaints at the Commissioners
meeting.
DR.. Finucane declared that the
substantial increases proposed by
the re-organizers will cause "ex-

ton of Glenn Dale. He said he
has enough trouble as it is at
tracing personnel to work at
the plant, which is located about
20 miles from the District. He
said further personnel short

proposed increases combined
would mean deductions from
employees pay amounting to as
much as Is per cent.
"And the really unfortunate
thing about it," DR.. Finucane as
serted. "is that the lowest-paid
groups would be hardest hit"
DR.. Stebbing centered his criti-
cism on the schedule of charges
for meals. He said there would
be administrative difficulties in
setting up these charges on the
basis Of a flve-day week and a

would be simpler and more
equitable to have a single rate
for all meals.

Acting on the suggestion Of

city heads turned the whole
question back to General Admin
