did Laurel and Pimlico officials.
Meanwhile, Bowie's earliest.
starting meeting settled down
for a long stay at the pine
trimmed track after the excite
ment of yesterdays opening,
which was neither too rosy or
too disappointing.
The crowd of 12.446 was below
expectations, as was the 1887, 108

Gals and most observers felt
that both figures would have
been considerably higher if the
all-morning rains yesterday had
stopped four or five hours
earlier.
Last year when Bowie opened
on March 9, a clear Wednesday,
1886 fans wagered 1888, 433.
At any rate, it is much too
early in the meeting to blame
the decline in betting on the
new Maryland tax on the pari-
mutuels. For the first time yes
terday. IL cents were taken from
each dollar bet instead OF a
dime. But the weather must
be held responsible for the open
ing day betting decline until a
more accurate line can be gained
on the reaction to the increased

Fans Bet Hartack
Stealing the play from the
horses yesterday was young
Willie Hartack. fresh from a
record breaking meeting at Hia-
leah, where he rode SIS winners
for new saddle mark at the
Florida track. From the start,
Hartack's mounts were heavily
backed by the Maryland bettors
as the answer to the confusing
form sheets.
Willie was on the favorite in
six of the eight races, but dis
by getting home first
only with Zadie Boy and Canary
Oaks. each paying $3.50.
Foul Claim Disallowed
There was another foul claim
in the featured Burch Memorial
Handicap yesterday. but it failed
to produce anything like the ex-i
citement of last season when
Ifabody was disqualified in the
same event.
After the stewards looked at
the films of the race, they de-
clared the original finish official

called last years Burch. but

did a S26 90 straight mutuel.

Capitol, three consulting erchi-
tects and three firms of associate
architects and engineers have
been appointed by the Congress

Despite objection to the change
in the east front from some ar

leading members of the profess

the project is to go forward as
ordered by Congress.

In reply, Mr.. Lamb said he was

Mr.. Lamb said he would like

clique who has been allowed tc
volunteer to do anything for the
committee except give money

ton of 1886, when Mr.. Garrett

Gurrett Charges Lamb Failed
To Volunteer Help for 6. O.P.

Clyde D. Garrett, candidate
for reelection as Republican Ma
tional Committeeman, charged
yesterday that his opponent,
George P. Lamb, has not volun-
teered one minute of time or
effort to help the Republican
State Committee since 1852.
Mr.. Lamb complained that Mr.
Garrett forgot his service of
seven weeks as chairman of the
Floats Committee of the Eisen-
hover Inaugural in 1858.
From 1852 to 1856" said Mr.
Garrett. thousands of good
citizens volunteered their time
and effort to help the Republi-
can cause. Strangely enough,
George P. Lamb has never dark
ened our door. He describes him
self as an Eisenhower Republic
can. but from 1852 to the present
hour he has not volunteered one
minute of his time or effort to
help the Republican State Com
mittee."
Mr.. Garrett commented caus.
tically that his opponent seems
to have ample time and money
to promote his own election in
the May l voting
Lamb has a luxurious head

A Star survey of Maryland's
% counties shows that Mr.. Ma
honey seems to have the adj
vantage in eight counties with a
unit vote total of Al. and Mr..
Tydlngs in nine counties with
a unit vote total of 46.
6 Counties Are Close
The six other countieS-with
total of % unit votes-are now
too close to be reasonably fore
cast.
/ Since Statewide candidates
traditionally leave their Balti-
more City campaigns until the
last week or two. it is too early
! to predict the fate of the city's
40 unit votes.
i. However, Mr.. Mahoney has
always carried five of the city's
six legislative districts in his
three previous Democratic pri-
maries-for Governor in 1850
and 1854 and for Senator in
1852.
1t takes n unit votes to be
nominated. 1t is possible for a
candidate to get the most pop
ular votes and still lose the
nomination on unit votes. That
happened to Mr.. Mahoney in
1850. The counties in which The
Star found that Mr.. Mahoney
seems to have the advantage,

Washington Cd.
The battle-ground counties in
which the contest still appears to
be a tossup are: Queen Annes
go, Talbot az. Caroline go.
Howard go, Charles 81, and
Frederick 90.
One immeaSurable factor that
could upset all predictions and
even make a landslide out Of
the election, one way or the
other, is the extent of Mr.. Ty-
dings' personal popularity.
Until his 1850 defeat by the
Republican incumbent, Senator
Eutler, Mr.. TNdings had never
lost an election. He served "a
years in the Senate. four years
in the House of Representatives.
two in the State Senate and four
in the House of Delegates.
AOJO NdHlpdiSH SItCu
AS he has gone around the
State this time. many people
have told him that they want
to right the wrong of that 1850
defeat by Senator Butler, which
came after a campaign a Senate
subcommittee later labeled as a
back alley" type.
If Mr.. Tydings' personal popu-
larity is anywhere near as high
as it was in 1888 when he beat
back President Roosevelt's at
tempt to purge him. he could win
enough unit votes to beat Mr..
Mahoney.
Good organization, however,
usually wins primaries, because
the organization gets its vote out.
MI. Mahoney has organization
support in most counties and
city districts, Montgomery and
Prince Georges Counties being
outstanding exceptions.

Political Tempo
Steps Up Here

Political workers in the Dis
trict are getting a chance this
week end to let off steam for the
May l election with the public
appearance here of all top con-
tenders for President.
Adlai E. Stevenson gave his
supporters a lift with his arrival
yesterday for a crowded three
day schedule of speech-making
receptions and Misunderstanding.
Hard on his heels, Senator Ke-
fauver of Tennessee, his fore
most rival for the Democratic
presidential nomination, will re-
turn to Washington for a dinner
sponsored tonight by the District
Kefauver-for- President Club at
the Willard Hotel. He also will
appear on a local telecast late
tonight.
Any meeting of the two rivals
would be by the purest chance.
MOtOrcade for Stevenson
Mr.. Stevenson received a
hearty welcome from his we'll
wishers when he arrived at the
Union Station from Philadel-
phia. His supporters formed
and drove him
through the downtown streets to
the Mayf1oWer Hotel.
Later, Mr.. Stevenson gave a
major foreign-policy address be-
fore the American Society of
Newspaper Editors at the Statler
Hotel. In the late afternoon. the
former Governor of Illinois was
guest of honor at a reception at
the Mayflower. The reception
was given by IL Senators sup
porting his candidacy.
He wound up his busy day by
attending the Woodrow Wilson
centennial dinner last night at
the National Guard Armory.
Today, Mr.. Stevenson will APP
pear on the Meet the Press"
program.
Both Senator Kefauver and
Mr.. Stevenson will address a
convention of the United Auto
Workers at the Sheraton-P Park
Hotel. The Tennessee Senator
will speak tomorrow, and the
former Governor is booked for
Tuesday.

local election.
In the voting May /, each
party here will choose local COM
mittees. delegates and alternates
