AT THE RACES
With JOE KELLY

A lot Of Washington racing
fans are taking . rather dim
view Of the racing schedule con-
cocted for them this fan BY the
major Maryland tracks with the
blessing Of the Maryland Racing
Commission. While October al
ways has q fun quota Of glorious
days, they're being wasted now
as far as horse racing ct Mary
lands mile tracks Is concerned.
Instead, Americas hardest
sports followers win be asked to
endure Novemher's bone-chilling
blasts. cold rains. sleet and pos
sibly snow. as the turf schedule
this fall viii not start until next
Saturday and win carry into De-
cember at Pimlico.
In all fairness to the Mary
land Racing Commission. Is must
be pointed out that the schedul-
ing Of race meetings for Mary
lands IL tracks three major and
i've minor Thoroughbred tracks
and four harness ovals--is the
knottiest problem the board Is
asked to solve all year.
The tracks. fighting for the
choicest dates, use every argu-
ment and political manipulation
possible. The various racing as
sociations try to anticipate every
source Of competition or coun-
ter attraction which might az
feet attendance or betting. This,
Of course. is good business. The
most feared bugaboo OF the
Maryland mile tracks Is New
Jersey competition.
Perhaps the Jersey opposition
Is magnified. but Pimlico, Bowie
and Laurel annually battle for
Jersey-free days. figuring that
the pari-mutuel handle viii rise
ct least by 100000 q day when

conflict from Garden State. At

Through all the date war there
is one segment Of the racing pic
ture which is given insufficient
consideration. This is the great
anonymous mob which day in
and day out pays its way into the
various racing Enclosures to bet
Its own money on the outcome
OF the races.
II would seem to us that the
Racing Commission would do
well to give more consideration
to the public when racing dates

are being assigned. The tracks
undoubtedly, must Wrangle with
many problems and dates are Of
paramount importance, but we
feel that the loyal racing public
should gain some recognition. S
It was only recently that the
Maryland Racing Commission
invited the horsemen to express
themselves on the question Of
dates. This year, although there
were no ofiicial protests from the
owners and trainers, many ex-
pressed private opinions that
they thought little Of d schedule
which began March 9. appar-
lentiy on the assumption that the
Ithorouehbreds stabbed in Mary
land would be In racing con-
Idition while being trained during
Il two-month period In the dead
|of winter.

Rotary had difiiculty filling races
HAh
We believe the Maryland Rae
ing Commission would be per-
forming q great service II 1t
could bring the three major
tracks, Pimlico, Laurel and
Bowie, closer together for the
meshing Of Maryland's 100 days
of racing into q unit rather than
as they now operate with the
tracks actually working against
each other.
Certainly. II Maryland's three
major associations would work
together on o well-planned
stakes program and direct their
lures to the country's racing
stables as q unit, they could
better meet the competition Of
other States.
The idea Of ducking compete
ton by means Of q schedule Is
basically unsound. Eventually,
Maryland tracks must meet the
competition hcadon.
At present, the system Ii to
evade New Jersey and New York
racing as much as possible with
out regard for the public and
without too much concern about
the trainers who must have the
horses ready to run on q hop
scotch schedule.
It seems to be assumed as
far as the fans are concerned
that they win show up when
ever the hugie blows. regardless
of the weather or anything else.

Senator Nicely, Democrat, Of

eliminate union-busting provi-
sions.
In a talk at the opening ses-
sion of the CIO Textile Workers

institute at the Congressional
Hotel, Senator Nicely said:
I'm hoping we can get out
the bad ones, and no other
vicious provisions will be written

served notice that he would ex-
ercise great care in confirming

larly the NLRB general counsel
post.
He said "quite change" has
taken place in NLRB policy in
the past two years and added:
I'm afraid the Taft-Hartley
law is going to be far less ia
vorable to labor if the board
stays the same"
Senator Neely said there is

1t Does Happen Here

Nearly Half of 1854 Traffic Deaths
Are Blamed on Driving Too Fast

Traffic Director George E.

program in a Ueekly series,
"Tra1ic Directors Mailbag"
ouer WMAL-TV, Channel 2.
The ShoW ,Dil include a dis
cussion of traffic situations
like the one pictured here.
Excessive speed figured in
almost half of the traffic deaths
here in 1854.
The city's traffic took 50 lives
during the year. Breaking the
speed limit, or travelling too fast
for road conditions, was factor
in 20 of the deaths.
Drivers who broke the speed
limit caused 10 of these fatali-
ties. The other 10 resulted from
violations where the motorist
was within the limit, but still
travelling too rapidly for traffic
conditions. These offenses in
cluded colliding. passing stand
ing streetcars and failing to yield
the right of way.
officials emphasize that Is
miles an hour may be considered
an unreasonable speed under un-
favorable road conditions.
AS shown in the sketch here.
the speed limit in Washington is
IS miles per hour. unless other
wise marked. During the periods
of activity at schools and play
grounds the limit is IS.
During 1854, 1896 persons

District officials are discussing
drastic" changes in their prison
building program in planning to
handle some 1000 offenders now
cared for by the Federal Govern
ment, Commissioner Renah F.
Camalier said yesterday.
James v. Bennett, director of
the Federal Bureau of Prisons,

crowded. and it is UP to the city
to provide its own facilities.
Briefing Tomorrow.
The District Commissioners
are to receive a briefing on de-
tention home needs tomorrow
from Director of Corrections
Donald Clemmer and Welfare
Director Gerard M. Shea.
Mr.. Camalier said during the
television program, Commits

Jail is inadequate and that new

Boys, which cares for many
District boys, in a section of
the proposed Youth Correction
Center at Lorton, Mr.. Camalier
said.

But he added that the sit
uation is complicated by a need
to separate juveniles not only
from adult criminals, but from
juvenile welfare cases in other
local institutions.
On other matters Engineer
Commissioner Thomas A. Lane

ment plan probably could be
