The winner of the Silver Oil
Can Trophy got a wave of the
black and white checked flag at
the finish line from TV master
of ceremonies Art Baker as he
rolled down the Derby hill, mug
ging and gesticulating in the
race run strictly for laughs.
"If I'd had Trigger I would
have left him at the top of the
HILL" said Roy Rogers after his
defeat.
Jimmy Mcmahon, who lives at
1907 Fifty-sixth avenue, Bladens-
burg. Md. took his defeat with
stiff upper lip, making no ex-
cuses, although there was a de-
jected sag of his shoulders after
he lost his close heat. His trip
to Akron was sponsored by The
Star.
AS trucks carried heat winners
and their racers back up the
hill, they drove past the losing
drivers who sat near the finish
line to watch later heats.
Losers Cheer Winners
Some losers cheered their con-
querors-others remained glum-
ly silent. But sunny skies, mod

MIR. JACOBSON has never
really left Washington. He
comes back once or twice a
year with the New York shows,
and the look in his eyes when
he talks about his native city
is better than any press
agentry.
He came back to Washing
ton for a couple of summers,
in 1924 and 1925, to indulge
his faith in Washington as a
theater town.
steve Cochran and l were
boys together" he said. I'm
1924, he asked me what l
thought about the chances of
summer stock in Washington.
told him I thought enough of
IL to want half.
"There was an old burlesque
tn e a ter, the President, at
Eleventh street and Pennsyl-
vania avenue. We hired that
and put in Rain and White
Cargo Both ran for six weeks.
And remember, there was no
air conditioning then"
The profits from that ven
ture set up the National Play
ers, which ran summer stock
here for seven summers.
Washington h as always
been a good town for theater
people," Mr.. Jacobson said.
There's a lot to see in free
time. The youngsters in our
show here have been sight
seeing every day since they've
been here, and they're not
through yet.
"And the food! The res
taurants are as good as New
York's."

citizens who have heardabout
her. The telephone rings con-
tinuously with callers asking her
to take in a crippled bird, a
homeless rabbit or a wounded
squirrel.
Mrs. Hickman will take no
pay for her work. Until recently
she paid for all ground beef and
birdseed consumed by the Wild

the food.

Right now she has an aviary

blind doves. a broken-winged
robin. Is homeless parakeets and
numerous others.
She has cages containing a
chipmunk with an injured back,
a squirrel with a jaw partially
shot away, a white rabbit. flying

When a new patient is
brought in, the Hickmans patch
and splint it up the best they
can, nurse it, and when its
wounds have healed, turn ii
loose on their forested estate on

Vice President Nixon put in
a surprise appearance.

Greeted with loud cheers as

familiar grin and waved to

such a superb leader" as
President Eisenhower. Cur
rent polls>already indicate "the
Presidents popularity is un-
precedented," he added. But
they also show that in some
areas, the Republican Party
doesn't run as well as the

He told the women it would
be up to them to tell the peo-

Women like financial sta

willing to make personal sac
