BY WHEELER JOHNSON

Building a $5-million dollar
race track on a Caribbean island
can be a troublesome project.
And one of the best authorities
on that is DR.. H. c. (Curley)
Byrd. former president of the
University of Maryland.
At a luncheon OF sports writers
In New York last week. Byrd
told of some of the difficulties
the promoters ran into in build
ing Ell Comandante race track
for the San Juan Racing Associ-
alton in Puerto Rico.
Byrd did the explaining as
builder of the track in his ca
pacity as an official of Balti-
more Contractors. He has no
official or financial connection
with the San Juan Racing Asso-
citation.
d. c. Men Own Stock
E. Comandante is of more
than passing interest to the
Washington area since, besides
Byrd's part in bringing the track
into operation, a number of the
holders of large blocks of stock
in the San Juan Racing Associa-
ton are Washingtonians. These
include Joe Danzansky, Ray
mond Dickey. Bob Phillipson.
Marvin Willig, Gerald Freed
man. DR.. Jack Diener and Sidney
Kolker.
In the first place. Byrd re-
lated. while the track is excel
lently located from the racing
fans standpoint. being only 20
minutes from the center Of San
Juan and near the San Juan
airport, from the standpoint
OF an engineer he would just
as soon have had it some other
place.
At first, he thought drainage
would be virtually impossible.
To build up the area. he said,
it was necessary TO move a mil
lion yards of earth and torren-
tial rains poured down while
this was under way.
Disease Menace a Problem
In addition it was necessary
to divert a stream which har-
bored snails carrying hepatitis
germs dangerous to horses and
humans. Then it was necessary
to drain about 10 acres Of land
ENGINEERING problems solved
and the mile track with two ex-
ira chutes and the last word
in equipment ready for opera
ton. the promoters ran into the
human problem.
Before the coming of Ell Co.
mandante. there were two other
race tracks in operation on the
island. They were described as
being the leakiest Of the "leaky
roof" type.
The Puerto Rican government
according to FL Comandante's
hackers, was SO anxious to pro-

There have been a rash of
identical bills in Congress the
last week which should interest
all boat owners with an eye to
the future.
Eight Senators and five men,
bers of the House have spon-
sored a proposal for a two-year.
Nation wide inventory OF out
door recreation resources and
opportunities through Federal.
State. local and private sources.
The l5-man study group. with
the title OF National outdoor
Recreation Resources Review
Commission, would submit to
the President and Congress rec
concentrations on how best TO
meet outdoor recreation needs
by the year 1876 and the year
1000. Aided by a 25-man ad-
visory committee. the commission
would be given carte blanche on
the sports to be reviewed-every-
thing from mountain climbing to
sail boating.
The whole Nation, whether
public or private areas. would be
subject to review. The IZaac
Walton League. which promoted
the proposal. says the basic OBJ
jective is "a better outdoor
America for everyone"
The bill itself makes an ex-
cellent point. too: The commits
sion shall recognize that lands.
waters. forests. rangelands. wet
lands. wildlife and such other
natural resources that serve eco
nomic purposes also serve to
varying degrees and for varying
uses outdoor recreation purposes.
and that sound planning OF re-
source utilization for the full
future welfare Of the Nation
must include coordination and
indignation of all such multiple
uses"
Senate proponents are Sena-
tors Anderson. Murray. Watkins,
Carroll. Barrett. Kuchel. Allott
and Neuberger. House bills have
been sponsored by Representa-
tives Aspinall, Engle. Metcalf.
Saylor and Rhodes.
When you consider the ire
growth of pleasure

lated.
The track was to have opened
in December but the opening was
delayed until January IL when
peace was made with the horse
owners and a solid contract
signed with the association.
Things went along we'll enough
until January % when the horse

FL Comandante will hold races
three times a week. 50 weeks a
year. for a total of l56 racing
days. In addition to parti-mutuel
betting, the associations license
permits it to conduct pool bet
ting in which bets are made off
track for sums as low as IS
cents. The track has approxi-
mately 225 pool agencies oper-
ating throughout the island, and
the bets are flown into the track
by helicopter pickup.

'Copter Funds
found After
Order to AT
By the Associated Press

An officer says the Air Force
located S20l 900 last winter to
buy two helicopters for the
White House after an order Ito
us from the White House"
Mai. Gen. Frank A. Bogart,
Air Force budget director, gave
the explanation to Senator Ell
lender, Democrat of Louisiana,
at a Senate Appropriations Sub
committee hearing yesterday on
the defense budget. He said the
order from the White House was
relayed through the Defense
Department.
Senator Ellender had asked
under what authority" the hell
copters were bought, and how
much 1t costs to operate them.
Gen. Bogart said the Air Force
"reprogramed" after getting the
order last December and found
funds through recoupments"-
presumably by tapping funds
originally earmarked for other
purposes.
He said it costs an average Of
$33.63 per flying hour" to oper-
ate the new White House hell
copters. He said each requires
a pilot and that maintenance is
handled by the MATS SQUAD
ron at National (Airport) :"
MATS Is the Military Air Trans
port System. operated jointly by
the armed services.
Senator Ellender wanted to
know how many hours the hell
copters had been used. whether
they operated only under presi-
dental orders. and what they
would be used for.
Gen. Bogars promised to sup
ply the answers later, although
he said he understood President
Eisenhower had not used them
yet. There have been several
training flights. and the White
House has said they will be used
in an evacuation test next month.

important service is a more Seri-

The definition of important

court-martial, said Chief Judge
Robert E. Quinn, not by the law
officer who acts as a Judge at a
jury trial.
In the Hyatt case. the law
officer told the members Of the

Hyatt, serving in Europe, got
a re-enlistment leave and re-
turned to the United States. He
was to report into Camp Kilmer,
, N. j. but failed to report. He
got an AWOL court-martial con-
viction, was released to go again
to Camp Kilmer and again failed
to report.
In this case it seems clear
