who won by about IS yards with
a time of 4:16.8. Barthel, in sec
ond place, was clicked in 4:21.3.
Barthel, now studying at Har-
ward graduate school, had given
his word he would compete in
the South Weymouth Naval Air
Stations first invitational track
and field meet. More than 500
schoolboys, collegians and serv-
icemen competed and the mile
was the feature.
So, despite the physicians ad-
vice, Barthel ran. He led the
field around the quarter-mile
track outlined in paint on the
concrete deck of the 1,O00-foot
long blimp hangar at the base.
He stayed in front of Ollen-the
1854 IC-4A indoor mile king
until the next to the last turn of
the last lap.
Then, as Ollen whizzed by,
Barthel just didn't bother trying
to put on his finishing kick and
the college boy from Cranston,

Barthel, whose efforts this
past indoor season earned him

chance on any contender beating them out.
Through their training campaign this
spring the Yankees have looked too satisfied
too rich-and listless. They had Casey
stengel about ready to tear out his hair.
Vic Raschi was sold because of complete
indifference to letters or telephone calls.
Many others figured they already had COL
lected all the loot they needed from five
winning World Series pay checks-about
$4,000
Anyway, the Yankees don't look like a
good bet right now. They may go back to
work, but there will have to be big change
or switch in their mental attitude.

Chesapeake Stakes
Feature Of CLOSING
Card al Laurel TODAY
By Lewis F. Atchison

Laurel Race Course makes its
final pitch Of q record-breaking
spring season today with the $50
running Of the $40, 000-added
Chesapeake Stakes for 3-year-
ODDS, and q field Of nine is ex-
pected to try the mile and one
sixteenth test.
Maryland's traditional Ken
lucky Derby preview, the Chesa-
peake failed to attract any seri-
Gus contenders for the Derby,
but the nine survivors Of the So
original nominees are fairly well
matched and Handicapped Char
lie McLennan expects q good,
tight race.
Edward M. OBrien's Galdar
and Howard A. Jones' For Free
are the lone Derby eligibles in
the field and neither is regarded
as a serious threat to win the
first leg Of racing's Triple Crown.
Galdar, winner Of the Remson
Handicap last year, drew high
weight Of 119 pounds, while For
Free got in with 10.
Ring King Early Choice.
The early favorite is expected
to be Mrs. Ada L. Rice's sur
prising Ring King, a colt who
showed such poor racing form
last year he failed to get to the
barrier. But a decisive victory
in the $10.000-added Cherry
Blossom Handicap, following a
victory in an allowance race,
stamped Ring King as a late
blooming 3-year-old to watch.
Trained by Tommy Kelly, S.
year-old Baltimorean, Ring King

Piper, and Mrs. John D. Hertz's
previously beaten Double
Speed-both Derby nominees
in the Cherry Blossom. The Rice

Elated by the success of the
meeting. Laurel officials hope for
a 81 million play in the mutuel
machines, which would be
touching that figure for the first
time in Maryland's history. The
current meeting got of to an
suspicious start when the State
Legislature voted the track an

snowstorm forced a postpone

Key members of the Senate
Finance Committee yesterday
predicted approval Of the Social
Security Bill BY that group just
about as President Eisenhower
wants it, except possibly for
some changes in the coyerage
provisions.
Senators George. Democrat, Of
Georgia, and Carlson, Republic
can. Of Kansas. said IN separate
interviews they are confident the
increased benefits and tax base
in the bill will come through the
committee unchanged.
The House already has passed
the bill In substantially the form
desired by the President. The
Senate Finance Committee COM
pleted 2k weeks Of public hear
ings yesterday and Chairman
Mil1ikin said he hoped the group
could start voting on the meas
ure in closed session next week.
Wide Coverage Sought.
The administration seeks to
extend social security coverage
to about 1Oh million more per-
sons. In addition the bill would
increase benefit payments and
raise from $4,000 to $4,000. the
amount Of annual wages subject
to social security taxes.
The higher benefits are ex-.
pected to average about $50 a
month for the i've million aged
beneficiaries now on the rolls, an
increase Of $6.
However, all benefit formulas
would be change so future recip-
tents would get as much as
$31.25 a month more than the
present rates of payment.

Republicans do not hide their
belief the bill will give them ex-
cellent campaign ammunition for

in August, the first increases in
checks would be felt about No

However. Senator George told
reporter the Democrats are
entitled to political credit for
Social Security, too. He said his
party originated the program l9
years ago, has worked to liberal
lie 1t. and supports the present
bill.
Senator George said he would
propose some amendments in
committee to make part Of the
proposed new coverage volun-
.tary instead Of compulsory. Spe-
cifically he said he had in mind
the SO million farm owners and
operators who would be brought
into the program on rnanda-
tory basis under the administra-
tons recommendations.
Also, he said he preferred
to make coverage voluntary
for about $4,000 professional
people included in the compul-
sorry provisions of the House
bill-lawyers. dentists. architects.
engineers, accountants and
others.
Rejected by House.
The administration also asked
for inclusion of 10000 physi-
clans. but the House rejected
this.
Senator George would not pre-
dict the fate Of his amendments.
but he said he realized Social Sc
curity Administration oficials
would oppose them with the ar
gunlent that only the poorest
risks elect to 60 under the sys-
tenn when coverage is voluntary.

The Government would be in a
better position if it could share
with private power interests the
responsibility for dfsposing of the
surplus which would result If
Acc operations were to be cur
tailed"
AS for assertions that the
White House acted without ade-
quate notice in ordering Acc
to contract, with the private utili-
ties system in this instance, the
Budget Bureau declared:
There. was ample opportunity
for interested parties to come
forth with proposals to supply
the Governments needs. Prior to
the transmission of the budget
message. discussions had been
held Witn the private utility
groups present supplying power
to Acc and with representatives
OF other private utilities.
Although the Government is
sued no formal invitations for
bids for its additional power
needs. the statement in the
Presidents budget message re-
ceived wide publicity in the gem
eral press and trade publica-
tions and was a matter of public
knowledge, particularly in the
Tennessee Valley area. The sug-
gestion that bidding was re-
stricted is entirely without foun-
dation."
Conceding that the cost of the
project by private contract might
cost more than Government
operation, the Bureau analysis
estimated that the eventual re-
turns to the Government as well
as to taxpayers in general would
be far greater than expected. 1t
calculated that the ''only element
of profit in this proposal is the
return to the sponsors on their

advisory on hurricane Hazel:
Hurricane Hazel continues on a
north-northeast course at about Z

should be taken in the eastern
Bahamas against destructive wind,
heavy rains and abnormally high
tides.
Continued slow movement at
