laureI's Field
For Final Stakes
Lists bassaniio
BY JOSEPH b. KELLY

Laurel's final stakes of the
spring season. the $4,000 Laurel
Handicap which will have its 42d
running Saturday, the final day
Of the current meeting, is likely
to draw a field of 10, including
Ogden Phipps' BasSanio, a sur
prise starter.
Trainer Sunny Jim Fitzsim-
mons, whose interest will be CEN
tered on Nashua in the Kentucky
Derby. will cast some side glances
at Laurel as Bassanio is in top
form. He was third last Satur-
day when Helioscope set track
record in the Valley Forge
Stakes at Garden State Park.
Trainer Max Hirsch also noti-
fed Charlie McLennan, Laurel'S
racing secretary. that John S.
Phipps' Black Bounty would be
shipped from New York for Sat-
urday's feature. Another unex-
pected contestant will be Jacob
Sher's Pointing Star. who fin
ished fifth behind Helioscope at
Garden State Saturday.
Top weighted among Satur-
days starters probably will be
Walter M. Jeffords' Subahdar.
who was assigned 124 pounds for
the mile and a sixteenth.
There was quite debate about
whether Side Saddle had estab-
lished a new American record
for a mile and a sixteenth on
the turf when Henry H. Hecht's
consistent 6-year-old mare won
Laurel's seventh race yesterday
in 1:42b.
George H. Martin, Laurels
general manager. reported after
the race that the starting point
for the mile and a sixteenth is
actually so feet short of that dis
tance.
The record, according to the
American Racing Manual, is held
by Turbine, who was clocked in
1925 June 30, 1949. This was
a fifth of a second slower than
Side Saddles time Of yesterday.
The reason Laurel's starting
point is so feet short is because
the gap through which the start
ing gate is drawn after the field
breaks is cut at the mile and
sixteenth pole marker on the
fiat track.
To add to the confusion, there
Is some doubt whether Turbine
raced exactly a mile and a six
teenth when he established his
mark. At any rate there is no
doubt that Side Saddle ran an
extremely fast race over Laurel's
turf, which is in excellent con-
dition.
Jess Linthicum, 8-year r-old
horse owned by Gee M. Cohen
of Baltimore and named for the
sports editor of the Baltimore
Sun. broke down badly in a
workout yesterday at Laurel and
will be retired. Trainer Charley
White announced.
The chestnut colt by Delibera-
tor enjoyed fine success at the
recent Bowie meeting.

3-year -olds will contest Laurel's
featured seventh race today. a

Jockey Carlos Gonzalez, who
is leading rider at Cubas Orien-
tai Park. scored his first victory
at Laurel when he won with
Andrew T. Schnelzer's Dive at
S46.60 In the eighth race.
Arthur Godfrey's 3-year-old
fllly, Fraulein, has gone amiss
in training and will be returned
for breeding purposes. Col. II.
B Marcus, owner of the Glade
Valley Farm in Walkersville, Md,

z Psychiairists Split
On Effects Of Ruling
In Insanity Defense

Two prominent psychiatrists
differed last night on effects Of
the new court ruling in Grim
inal cases where insanity is the
defense.
Discussing the decision on
Station WWDC's District
Roundtable," sponsored by the
Junior Bar Section Of the Dis
trict Bar Association were DR..
Roger Cohen and Dr.. John D.
Schultz. chief psychiatrist at
District General Hospital. Hugh
J. MCGEE. Washington attorney,
was the moderator.
The ruling, In the Durham
case, provided that a man can
not be held criminally respon-
sible if his act was the product
Of q mental disease or mental
defect. Previously, ability to dis
tinguish right from wrong and
the Irresistible impulse" test
were the yardsticks.
DR.. Cohen, whose testimony
in the Smith case led to adoption
of the Irresistible impulse" test
in 1929. expressed fears about
Opening the door to unbridled
speculation as to what was in
the unconscious mind"
DR.. Schultz argued on the
other hand that I'VE don't have
to testify about what is in the
unconscious mind to show he
acted in accordance with an
inner belief which was distor-
tion of the facts"
DR.. Cohen retorted that testi-
mony of that kind was covered
before the Durham case. He said
that people who hailed the Dur
ham ruling as something new
were unaware that psychiatrists
were given wide latitude in tes-
tifying before the Durham case.
DR.. Schultz said he felt the
Durham decision reconciles legal
criteria with present-day psy-
chiatric practice. He said it was
up to the court to keep the psy-
chiatric testimony relevant.

Egyptians Will Quit
Arab Pact if Iraq
Signs With Turks
BY ths Assoeisssd Press

CAIRO. Egypt, Feb. 7.-Guid-
ance Minister Mai. Salah Salem
said today Egypt will withdraw
from the Arab security pact the
day Iraq signs a mutual defense
treaty with Turkey.
But, he added, Egypt will
simultaneously sign another
military pact with all the other
Arab states. ~
Mai. Salem made the state
ment at a news conference for
Lebanese journalists. now visit
Ing Egypt. Leaders of eight
Arab states wound up last night
a heated 16-day defense con-.
ference-called by Egypt to
block the Iraqui- Turkey treaty
without even agreeing on a
final communique. Egypt thus
lost the fight to unite Arab
states behind a neutralist policy.
Mai. Salem said the Arab
world is now at a crossroads,
but declared the crisis is not
an Iraqui-Egyptian contest for
Arab leadership as some have
described it. It is, he said, a
debate to agree on unified Arab
policy on Middle East defense.
Explains Policy.
While Iraq advocates forma-
ton of regional pacts with for
eign countries, Egypt's policy is
to try to strengthen the Arab
security pact as a power capable
of defending the Middle East
without losing Arab sovereignty
through links with foreign pow
ers, Maj. Salem said.
But we failed to learn the
viewpoints of other Arab states"
he added. "We did not learn
whether other states were back
ing Iraq or Egypt and that is
why we failed to announce any
statement after the conference"
There were indications other
Arab states in addition to Iraq
were inclined eventually to join
up with Turkey. and indirectly
with the western powers, be-
cause of their growing fear of
possible Soviet aggression.
Even some Egyptian officials
admitted privately the meeting
had been a sharp defeat for
Egypt and a blow at her leader
ship of the league.
Victory for Nuri Said.
It was a victory for Iraq's
tough little anti Communist
Premier, Nuri Said. whose
Chamber of Deputies gave him
unanimous vote of confidence
in Baghdad last night after he
said emphatically he would COM
plete the defense treaty with
Turkey in spite Of Egypt.
Informed sources said Leba-
non, Syria and Jordan refused to
condemn Iraq for taking meas
ures it thought necessary for de-
fense. Lebanon already has an
nounced she will continue dis
cussions with Turkey on the
alliance.

A Fort Belvoir machinist,

July 80, while the Government

The machinist, Russell l..

But Mr.. Reedy is undecided
whether to return to work at his
$90-a-week job now that his

said he was associating with
them, has been notified that the

clearly consistent with the in

On this recommendation, the
