BY JOSEPH b. KELLY
Star Racing Editor

BOWIE, Md. Feb. l6.-The
proposed merger of the Pimlicc
and Laurel race tracks may be
effected in time for the Laurel
fall meeting. D. Eldred Rinehart
chairman of the Maryland Rae
ing Commission said here today
Rinehart indicated that the
move would have the ccmmis-
sion's blessing because he feels
it would put Maryland racing in
a stronger position.
A public hearing to discuss
merger plans. which would con-
Icentrate 80 days of racing al
Laurel, will be held at the COM
missions Baltimore Offices at II
am. Monday. George Mahoney
former chairman Of the COM
mission, today became The first
to voice opposition to the plan
According to a well-placed
authority in racing. the plan
calls for Herman and Ben Cohen,
operators of the Maryland
Jockey Club at Pimlico, to buy
a half-interest in laurel for a
reported SO million. They then
would conduct Pimlico's annual
40 days of racing az Laurel and
sell the approximately lis acres
at Pimlico to commercial inter-
Iests.
II successful, the merger would
have a tremendous impact not
only on racing in Maryland but
in the entire East.
Preakness Must Stay
Rinehart said the Maryland
Jockey Club. which operates
Pimlico. would have to retain its
identity. He emphasized that
the Preakness, second leg Of the
famed Triple Crown and a fix
ture on Pimlico's spring calen-
dar. would have to be continued
II think the Preakness is
Maryland racing and 1t will have
to be retained. too" the digni-
fed chairman said.
Rinehart said the commission
has insisted for the past few
years that Pimlico improve its
racing plant. But expansion and
necessary changes have been
blocked by Baltimore's rejection
OF plea for rezoning in the
area. Pimlico wanted to build
more stables and improve ia
cilities for the public. The only

Turkeys Calm Vote

Although they have lost substantial
amount Of their former support. Premier
Menderes and his pro-Western Demo-
cratic Party Still retain a solid parlia-
mentary majority as result Of Sundays
election In Turkey. The equally pro-
Western Peoples Republican Party. led
by former President Inonu, has scored
impressive gains. but not nearly enough
to constitute serious challenge TO the
Menderes government.
Thus. despite having failed to match
their landslide victory Of 1854, Mr.. Men
deres and the Democrats have won about
IS per cent OF the seats In the go
member National Assembly. This con-
stitutes marked drop from their former
81 per cent majority, but It nevertheless
leaves them in parliamentary position
sufficiently strong to carry on with their
foreign and domestic policies without
making any essential changes In either.
Actually, as far as foreign policy
is concerned. no important differences
exist between the Democrats and the
Peoples Republicans. Rejecting the
overwhelming sentiment of the Turkish
electorate. both are firmly committed to
the maintenance Of close ties with the
West. especially the North Atlantic
Treaty Organization. Where they part
company is In the field OF domestic
issues, particularly those bearing upon
the state Of the countrys economy.
Under Mr.. Menderes' party, the Ankara
government is trying TO bride imitation
and solve related problems primarily on
3 free-enterprise basis, whereas Mr..
Inonu and his followers strongly adj
vocate large-scale governmental inter-
vention and participation in business
and industry.
As between these two home-fr
policies, the Turks. by their Sunday vote,
have left no room for doubt that they
still favor the program of the Demo-
Gratis. At the same time. however. the
fact that the minority Peoples Repub-
lican Party has sharply increased its
parliamentary Strength--to a total Of
some l78 seats--indicates that there Is
growing dissatisfaction with the domestic
trend, and this In turn may tend to
intensity the Menderes governments
effort to speed up Improvements.
From the international viewpoint,
the most interesting feature Of the Tur-
kish election has been the way in which
the voters have concentrated on do
nestle matters and virtually ignored the
Kremlin's propaganda threatfully ac-
cusing their country Of plotting with
ours to attack Syria. To put 1t mildly,
the Turks have shown admirable calm
In this tense situation. Small wonder
that they are known far and wide as q
people who do not frighten easily.

Moqruder Cleared

The 8 to vote by which the Airing
ton County Board has exonerated May
nard Magruder Of charges Of wrongdo-
ing obviously was a partisan Judgment.
The two votes against the motion to
clear Mr.. Magruder were cast by Ralph
Raul, who made the accusations, and
David Krupsaw, his ABC associate on
the board. The two Ann members and
the Democratic chairman constituted
the majority.
Mr.. Kaul. who is supporting Herbert
Brown, Mr.. Magruders opponent In the
current County Board contest, calls the
finding - whitewash by the AIM ma
1ority." On the basis Of the evidence
presented. however, the fair conclusion
is that the board majority returned the
only finding that was possible. Mr.. Kaul.
In effect, had accused Mr.. Magruder of
bvercharging the county for reassess-
ment work. Mr.. Magruder, testifying
under oath, gave an explanation. of the
fees charged, and there was no evidence
70 contradict his statements.
Mr.. Raul also had charged that
minors were employed without work per-
mits. 1t seems clear, however, that Mr..
Magruder had nothing to do with this.
It is true that some Of the records Of
payments made have disappeared. But
no evidence was produced to show that
Mr.. Magruder had anything to do with,
or any responsibility for, their disap-
pearance.
In summary, Mr.. Kaul made his
accusations in the closing days of Bit
ter political campaign. one purpose being
to discredit Mr.. Magruder. Mr.. Kaul
then demanded an investigation by the
County Board. When the hearing was
held, no proof was offered to show that
Mr.. Magruder had overcharged the
county, or that he had done anything
improper. In these circumstances, it Is
regrettable that this issue was raised.

Exploring the Unknown

The need for greater emphasis on
basic Observation-Disclosures by inquisitive
scientists into the realm Of things I'M
seen and unknown-is clearly revealed
in the report to the President by the
National Science Foundation. The
foundation, created by Congress in 1850,
cites dramatic proof Of the value of
such explorations Of natures secrets.
The splitting Of the atom, releasing the
power Of nuclear energy for peacetime
as well as wartime uses, was but one
example given. The report told Of
achievements In the fields Of radio
astronomy, virus heredity, solid-state
physics and other sciences, with predic-
tons Of possibly still more valuable dis
coveries for the benefit Of mankind.
Especially stressed was the fact that
basic laboratory research, as diStin-
guished from applied research and
development, Is an essential preliminary
to studies of the latter type that have
practical applications. IL was pointed
out that while the chemists and physi-
cists and other scientists who are pio-
neering in delving into dark mysteries
objective in view, experience has shown
they sometimes stumble on discoveries
Of breath-taking importance. For ex-
ample, the findings of radio-astronomers
regarding the strange radio transmits
sions from outer space are Of keen
interest to scientists striving to harness
thermometer energy (as in the hydro
gen bomb) for peaceful purposes. And
studies Of viruses under the electron
microscope, the report said, provide lone
Of the most promising approaches to an
understanding Of disease, heredity and
the basic processes of life" Indeed,
according to the foundation, a basic
researcher some day may discover a
means to control cancer and other
diseases, to multiply industrial produce
ton, improve agriculture and otherwise
to promote mans welfare.
OF more immediate concern, of
course, are the possibilities which basic
research holds for development of mill
tary weapons for defense or offenSe.
The report, sent to the White House
ii days after Sputnik had begun cir
cling the glob,, warned that Russia is
paying more attention to basic research
than we are. Soviet science studies are
subsidized on the theory that the in
vestment will produce returns OF in
estimable value, sooner or later.
In America, on the other hand, we
have tended to stress applied science
rather than basic inquiry. However,

To assume a good riddances atti-
tude toward the killing Of gangland's
one-time lord high executioner," Albert
Anastasia-aS some persons may be in
clined to do-would be to ignore the
shocking realities of the New York crime.
It Is true that Anastasia, once head of
Murder, Inc.," met sort Of retributive
Justice when two gunner rubbed him
out" with an efficiency reminiscent of
Murder, Inc" But the alarming fact
Is that the shooting Of this killer, fol-
lowing so closely upon the recent abor-
tive attempt to murder another New
York gangster, Frank Costello, indicates
that another murder syndicate may be
operating In New York City. At any
rate, it is joltingly evident that the era
OF big-city gangland warfare, generally
thought to have passed pretty much out
OF the picture in recent years. is not
yet ended.
The Staying OF the loathsome Ana
stasia presents challenge to the New
York police-and to law enforcement at
large-that must be met with all the
resources Of the law. For while one
killer who, amazingly, was able to escape
punishment through the years, has been
erased from the list of Americas top
criminals, other killers as ruthless as
their victim remain free to operate
wnere and when they please.

This Is the Army

The case of Private Ernest z. Shut
Is one OF those things which seems to
occur every now and then in the best of
armies
Private Shut is clerk-typist FIRST
class, we hope) at Fort Lee, Virginia. He
is also described by Professor Carl c.
Lindegren, eminent geneticist and d.
rector Of biological research at Southern
Illinois University, as "the outstanding
mathematical genius have encountered
in 80 years Of scientific research"
Why is Private Shut pounding a
typewriter for the Army? Well, to re-
peat, 1t apparently is Just one of those
things. Private Shut missed his col
lege degree because he lacked a semes-
ter hour in physical education. He was
drafted, and Army regulations, he says,
made him ineligible for assignment to
mathematical research because he didn't
have a degree. But he can type, so he
was assigned to a typewriter.
Professor Lindegren would like to
have Private Shut back at Southern I'LL
nois. But the Army has him, and Profess
sor Lindegren isn't going to get him any
time soon. But perhaps Private Shut will
not have TO make career In the Army
as clerk-typist. At any rate, a spokes-
man says that 1.-THE appropriateness Of
his assignment is being evaluated by the
Army" This is typical Army talk and
1t sounds as though 1t came right out
Of the book on regulations. AS we in
terpret 1t, however, 1t means that the
Army may decide to make some use OF
Private Shuts real talent. N
