man road, which connects with
a mile road recently completed
by the track. When completed,
it will speed entrance to and,
more important, exit from the
parking lot by many minutes.
Rather than wait for the COM
mission to finish the job. the
track got permission to put down
a temporary top of crushed stone
and asphalt and open the road
for this meeting.
Later the State will move in
and complete its work. but for
$4,000 the track preferred to
have it open and usable by SAT-
urday.
William Dupont. jr., a director
of the track, seemed more con-
cerned with the surface of the

in the East. Until recently, Della
wares track dried out in few
hours after heavy rain, but it
takes longer now and Dupont
has conducted experiments to
find a supply of soil with the
proper texture to retop the
track.
One thing that strikes the visi-
tor forcibly is that Delaware
Park, from Ross, the president,
right on down through the ranks,
isn't satisfied with being merely
good. It's got to have the best
of everything.
Racing Secretary Gil Haus told
his listeners that more than 1000
horses, the highest figure in
years, have been nominated for
the IA stakes scheduled at Della
ware this year. Gil is one of those
who would like to see Delaware
schedule some races on turf. The
number of jumping horses has
dwindled steadily until this year
a mere handful are in training
for brush races at New York
tracks and Delaware. Gil thinks
it would be step forward to use

expect a steady increase in this |

By giving military aid to
Pakistan, Nehru told his
cheering Parliament, the
United States had interven-
ed in the Indian-Pakistan
fight over the Himalayan
state and the American OBJ

Ineutrals."
At the end of 1853 the United

supervising the Kashmir truce. The

transport and crew available when
needed.
Eisenhower's offer of American
arms aid "has done less than JUS
tice to himself" the Premier de-
clared, continuing:
eff we object to military aid
being given to Pakistan, we would
be hypocriteS and unprincipled op-
portuniSts to accept it oursef."
Announcing the aid to Pakistan
last week, Eisenhower had said
the United States would give "most
sympathetic consideration" to any
request from India TO: such help.
Ir a letter to Nehru he also as

would see to it that Pakistan used
the arms from America for de-
Tense only.
Nehru today made public his
three-paragraph reply, thanking
the US. President "for your per-
sonal message" and saying his
government would continue to fol-
low its present policies (which are
based on a desire for peace" India
now buys her arms where she
.pleases and does not accept direct
arms aid from foreign govern

Other than this, however, the
letter made no specific mention of

The Premier's review in Parlia-

"But we know from past expert

years ago and thus far the United
States has not only not condemned
it, but we have been asked not to
