While other sports have been
feeling a pinch at the gate, har-
ness racing is in better shape
than ever, according to those
people concerned, and a great
deal Of the credit belongs to
Thomas Edison and his ex-
periments with illumination.
In this area night harness rae
ing is outdrawing baseball at the
rate Of 2 to and shows an edge
wherever the two compete ma
tionally. Only 1927 showed up
for the opener at Laurel Race
way last night because of the
inclement weather, but track Of
flcials are confident that it will
be a profitable 24-night meeting
The meet at Rosecroft. which
opened the Maryland season
was highly successful.
Not all harness fans are fiat
track fans, but most Of those who
are seem to prefer the thorough
breds. which poses an interesting
and purely hypothetical ques-
ton:
What would happen to the
harness sport If it had to COM
pete with night fiat racing?

 Eisenhower and Mollet con- ferred for about 90 minutes at the White House. Spokesmen for the two announced the discussion ranged all the way from remin- iscences of World War II days to the current crisis in the Middle East.
 James C. Hagerty, White House Press Secretary, reported Mollet informed Eisenhower that Coty had agreed to accept an invita- ton to come to the United States during the first week of June.
 In reply to a question, Hagerty said that "of course" the Presi- dent and Mollet discussed the tense Middle East situation.

Manufacturer Blames
 Imitation on Organized Labor's Wage Increases

WASHINGTON, REThe presi- dent of the National Association of Manufacturers planes imitation on organized labor and says that unions view wage negotiations as "a gun in the ribs"
 Ernest G. Swigert of Portland, Ore, made the comment here yes terday in a news conference that coincided with release of an NAM report entitled monopoly power as exercised by labor unions"
 In blaming labor for imitation, Swigert said that "since 1949 we have had round after round of unjustified wage increases. The w h O e country-including the working man, would be better off without them"
 The NAM official also said he believes wages should be based on labor-management bargaining without taking into consideration either profits or increased prod activity.
 Productivity goes up, Swigert said, when billions and billions are spent in purchasing new ma chinery."

Massachusetts Senate Clears Women Convicted Of Witchcraft in 1892

BOSTON, R-The Massachu- setts Senate has voted to exoner- ate Ann Pudeator and five other women who were convicted of witchcraft in the Salem trials of 1892. Some, including Miss Pude- ator, were executed.
 Before the vote yesterday, Sen. Charles Hogen said proponents of the exonerating legislation had agreed to accept amendments un- der which the descendants of the women would receive no damage payments because of the original convictions.
 Opponents of the legislation had argued that Salem was part of an English colony at the time of the witchcraft hysteria and it was up to Parliament, rather than the Massachusetts Legislature, to un- do the wrong.

Pilot Rides Out Jets
 Crash Landing to Prevent Tragedy in Crowded Area

OLYMPIA, Wash, R - A Me Chord Air Force pilot rode a crippled supersonic jet plane to a crash-landing on a hillside south of there yesterday afternoon to safeguard against the chance of crash in populated area.
 Capt. Edward L. Clark luckily survived the gamble for his life.
 The 37-year-old airman crawled away from the New Delta-wing FLOP before it burst into flames on farm south of Tenino. At the McChord Air Force Base Hospital his injuries were described as not serious.
 'I guess I went to the right church," he remarked.
 In telling of why he decided against parachuting, he said: 'I thought about all those people down there and decided to ride it out'
 Clark, who resides with his wife and two children at Lakewood, said he first thought he could nurse the speedy plane back to M c c h ord when mechanical trouble developed, but added:
 q came out of the overcast for look-see and realized I'd never make it back"
 He landed going up hill" on a slope on the farm.
 State Patrolman Pat Hall said the plane would have hit big trees if it had gone 50 feet to either side.

Melting Shows
 Bring Floods to
 Pacific Northwest

Fed by snows melting under a warm sun, streams facing three Pacific Northwest states rolled out of their banks into lowland towns and farms today, forcing the evacuation of hundreds of persons, disruptIng normal com munications and making islands of thousands of square miles of land.
 Hardest hit were regions in north-centnal Washington and in southern Idaho, but much of east ern Washington and Oregon and parts of the western slope were affected by the unseasonal runoff.
 At Wilson Creek, a town no miles west-southwest of Spokane, Crab Creek broke over it's boun- diaries Tuesday night and within short time water was to 6 feet deep and still rising.
 The 250 to 400 townspeople were evacuated quickly to high school north of town but that re- zion was soon cut off as steadily rising water covered the roads.

Youngest Turncoat Of Korean War Quits Red China

HONG KONG, Rt-The young est turncoat of the Korean War left Red China today, saying he quit the Communist mainland in disgust over the 'wanton killing by Russia in Hungary"
 Samuel David Hawkins, now 23, declared he had made it plain to the Red Chinese authorities he wanted to leave because of the Soviet Unions action in putting down the Hungarian rebellion of last fall.
 The Oklahoma City youth told reporters the Chinese did not try to stop him.
 Hawkins is the seventh to come home of 21 US. soldiers who were captured during the Korean fight ing and chose to remain with the Communists. One died in China and 13 are still there.
 Hawkins will be given a one way passport to the US. His citi- zenship would have been forfeited automatically if it had been found that he had served in foreign army, voted in foreign election, or done similar things. He was dishonorably discharged from the Army in 1854.
 Hawkins, well dressed in new blue suit, white shirt and checked tie, blamed adolescent ignorance for his decision to remain with the Communists after the 1853 arnistice. He was a 16-year-old private first class when he was captured in Korea.
 Last fall he married an English speaking Russian girl named Tanya. She remained behind in Peiping but Hawkins has said he hopes to get her to the United States later.

Food Price Rise
Laid toC
BY the Associated Press

The Agriculture Department
reports that retail food prices
are up 3 per cent from a year
ago. but that farm prices are
not responsible.
The entire increase, says the
agency. can be charged to rises
in marketing costs. such as
labor. transportation. packag-
ing and the like.
A report on the national food
situation said that marketing
charges at midyear were 6 per
cent higher than a year ago.
Eggs were the only major food
commodity for which retail
prices averaged lower in the
January-June period this year
than last. The lower retail
prices were a reflection of a
sharp drop in producer prices
ATTRIBUTED 10 Dig supplies.
Sharpest retail price in
creases over the first half of
1856 were made by meats,
food fats and oils and bever-
ages. Meat prices in early 1856
were the lowest for that period
since 1850 because of heavy
supplies, the report said.
Looking ahead. the report
said:
with consumer demand
likely to be maintained at q
high level and marketing
charges to continue to advance
prospects are that retail food
prices will remain higher this
summer and early fall than
last. For individual foods vari-
