Suspend McGee
For Six Months

Jimmy MCGEE, veteran trainer,
has been suspended for six
months by the Maryland Racing
Commission as the aftermath of
a doping case at Bowie.
MCGEE saddled Morning After
for a winning performance in the
sixth race at Bowie March Is
but was suspended pending a
hearing when the customary
post-race urinalysis test disclosed
the presence of a drug of the
nature of caffeine.
At the hearing before the COM
mission last Thursday in Balti-
more, MCGEE testified that the
horse evidently had drunk some
coffee left around by a stable
hand and this accounted for the
coffeine He vigorously denied
administering any drug. The
commission suspended him under
Section Ill of the State racing
code which makes owners. train
erS or grooms responsible for any
drugs found in a horse.
Morning Alters share of s2,275
OF the $4,000 purse was redistrib-
urted. McGee's wife also was
forbidden to race any horses for
a six-months period.
Morning After is owned by
Cough w. Thompson of Pixies

IPintOr Lea's
Derby Stock Up
After Easy Win

MIAMI, Fla, Mar. 81 (P).-
Pintor Lea today established
himself as Calumet Farms best
prospect for the Kentucky Derby
as he came within one-fifth of
Ia second of the Gulfstream Park
track record for a mile and a
sixteenth, although he was be-
ing eased through the last 10

The handsome 3-year -old de-

clocking of 1925.
Princess Turia, a promising

by seven lengths. Toby B. was a

Coast Pair Far Back
Airide and Like Magic. a full
brother of Swaps, raced as the
5-to-2 second choice in the bet
ting. but the Rex Ellsworth pair
trailed at the finish.
/ Pintor Lea was fifth on the
backstretch as Jockey Steve
Brooks held him under strong
restraint. Airide was setting that
pace, with Princess Turia pro-
viding the chief opposition
Brooks asked Pintor Lea for more
speed passing the half-mile pole
and he responded readily, NOV
ing on the outside to join Airide
and Princess Turia entering the
stretch.
/ Pintor Lea assumed command
inside the eighth pole and was
increasing his margin with every
stride, although not being fully
extended, until Brooks frightened
his hold on the reins in the finaI
stages.

A convention of

was asked to speak at the banquet that
wound up the show. 1t was wonderful
deal - for me, anyhow. | came away
with more stories than they did.
The CHEEKY medico who served as
emcee, for example, told me about the
balding gent nearing 80 who felt his
vigor diminishing daily and went to his
doctor for checkup. The doctor, bit
of faddist, assured him, mot thing
wrong with you that carrots, and plenty
of them. can't cure. Take as many as
you like"
A month later the doctor noted a dis
tinct improvement. Just 60 on eating
carrots" he prescribed. The patient
bounded from his chair, crying, Car
rots! Good Lord, Doc, | thought you
said claret. I've been drinking bottle
a day."
Then the doctor who was seated on
my left told me that an ounce of advice
often was better than a pound of pre-
scription. Mother Nature" he re-
minded me, usually knows best = if
you give her chance. In prehistoric
times, how was she to know, for instance,
that man would invent eyeglasses? Yet
look at the way she placed our ears"
My pill-osophic friend ran into trou-
bic, however, with one patient who OBJ
viously had been overeating. He advised,
Cut out all starches and sweets and
smoke just one cigar day." At the end
Of the fortnight the patient was back,
looking simply terrible. Cutting out the
starches and sweets could stand" he
reported, but that one cigar day darn
near killed me. never smoked before in
all my life!''
Another rnedico recalled a patient
who was undone by midsummer week

up to with those ritzy society folk" the
doctor asked. Fishing through the ice,''
was the answer. in August? What for?'
Cherries, explained the patient.
Here are some other doctors you
might like to hear about:

concluded by announcing, The time

say 'ah.'
3. The doctor at a mental institution
who was asked by an inmate, Have |
ever told you about my aberration?'
4. The specialist called in to treat

By MARY L. VAUGHAN

No sooner had Michigan's
Representative Martha Crit
f1fths introduced resolution
in the House for the live tele-
vising of congressional pro-
ceedings than her morning
mail began to magnify.
The idea for televising con-
gressional sessions isn't new.
In fact every year someone in
the House or Senate attempts
to interest his or her colleagues
in the measure.
Mrs. Griffiths' bill, however,
differs from others in one re-
spect. 1t calls for House of
Representatives proceedings to
be broadcast either live or de-
layed by radio or TV, such
broadcaSting to be done by a
pooling" method. A portion
of the gallery would be set
aside for equipment and for
qualified persons with the su-
perviSion to be vested in a
standing committee, subject to
the direction and control of
the Speaker. And" the resolu-
ton reads. 1.-The Speaker may
admit to the floor, under such
regulations as he may pre-
scribe, one representative each
of such radio or television
broadcaSters as the Speaker
may from time to time con-
slider to be appropriate in the
interests of the adequate COW
erage Of debates and proceed
ings."
Day Will Come
Her increased mail on the
subject has shown favorable
reaction to the proposal. Its

hearings had an impact on the
voting public, bringing more

employment in Detroit" she
notes, but it has decreased
slightly" Although there are
no farmers in her area. the
farm problem is a touchy sub
ject there. $50 many people
have parents or grandparents
on a farm that it cannot be
ignored" she asserts.
Civil Defense
One of the more important
problems in Detroit, Mrs.
GrifflthS says, is the question
of civil defense. She is an
advocate of Government in
strumentS to be distributed
to the people for determining
radio-activity in the air if a
