Witness Reveals
.BettinqShortage
By Track Head

MIAMI. Fla. Feb. rs tR.-A
witness told the Florida State
Racing Commission today that
Saul SHERMAN. president of
Tropical Park. Inc, kept a pri-
vate betting account and at one
time the account was short

manager at the Miami track, de-

tivities at hearing in which
Tropical Park has been asked to
show cause why its operating
permit should not be revoked.
The show cause" order
enlarged that SHERMAN associ-
lated with bookmakers. made bets
at the track without putting up
money. permitted the track tele-
phone to be used to give out rae
ing information. and permitted
calls to a bookmaker.
Bets at 500 window
It charged also that Maurice
J. Hirshstein. an employee Of the
track. associated with book
makers. failed to secure an occu-
Ipational license and did not fur
Inish fingerprints or photographs
to the racing commission as re-
IQuired.
Schultz testified that Silber-
mans bets were made by private
messengers at a 500 window.
While there was no understand
ing that tickets were to be sold
to him on credit, he said Silber-
man could settle his accounts at
anv time"
SHERMAN deposited as much
as $4,000 at a time in his bet
ting account, Shultz said, and
the record was checked daily.
The witness added that IOUs
were accepted from Silberman's
messengers and that sometimes
the account ran as long as three
weeks.
Attorney Denies Charges
r. B. Gautier. jr.. attorney for
ISilberman, told the commission
the money SHERMAN bet was
owed to the track and not to the
State. In effect. he said, the
track president was extending
credit to himself and the State
never at any time stood TO lose
on his betting.
The attorney entered q blanket
denial Of all charges against Sill
herman and said that personal
ly. ! think some Of these charges
are almost ridiculous"
The first witness. Thomas b.
Parker. chief investigator OF the
racing commission. testified that
he learned only during the cur
rent investigation that Hirsh-
stein was employed at Tropical.
He said he received no applica-
ton or fingerprints.

Spring Glow Claims Lemon
First-He Sees IS Homers
Griffs' SIueeer Convinced
He'll. Reduce Strikeouts
BY BURTON HAWKINS
Star stan correspondent


ORLANDO, Fla. Feb. 25.-
The opening Of spring training
automatically brings a surge Of
optimism. and first in line with
that glowing feeling is Jim
Lemon. the Senators towering
rightfielder. He's setting his goal
at IS homers and is convinced
he can reach it.
In one respect last season the
Imild-mannered, likable Lemon
was the most futile batter in
major league history. He struck
out 1873 times. But he couldn't
be called a failure. for in his first
full season he slammed ~ home
runs, tied for the league lead in
triples with IL and belted across
SO runs despite a two-week abb
sence from the lineup because Of
injury.
Lemon came to terms with
Cal Griffith today, signing for a
substantial" raise. Catcher Lou
Berberet also reached a salary
agreement and joined the first
workout, held amid scattered
showers in slightly chilly
weather.
Catcher Clint Courtney, still
dickering on salary, failed to
show up on time. Pitchers Chuck
IStobbs and Evelio Hernandez are
the other batterymen out Of the
fold.
Lemon has some logic behind
his optimism.
"I'll still strike out a lot" Jim
said, but I don't believe I'll be
close to the number of times l
famed last year. I've learned
something about the pitchers
and I've learned something about
myself. I should improve If I

cent ordered padding from this firm the
first year il was made available. A vice
president of the company told me: mo
other optional feature we ever offered
caught on so FAST
Safety belts. Our greatest encourage
ment comes from our findings that scar beIES
do work. One auto company alone sold
more than 100000 belts last year despite
the claims of people who, without scientific
evidence, said they were worthless and
might even kill occupants. The controversy
is now being resolved by the strongest kind
of proof possible - saved human lives.
Out Of our accident case rate, now rum
ming at 10000 year, we have selected
matched pair" Of crashes for comparison.
These accidents are identical, with one
exception: one car had seat belts and the
other did not.
can now report that if you had two
groups Of accident victims. 900 to each
group, $50 non-belt wearers would be hurt
to some degree, as against 800 who wore
belts. Moreover, in the nOn-belt wearing
group, 300 would have injuries which fall in
the severe through fatal range, as opposed
to 90 in the belt-wearing group.
Things % eoIse. Perhaps the most sig
niicant aspect Of these life-saving changes
in our autos is that they have opened a
whole new era of thinking among engi-
neerS. As a result, we can expect other new
ideas to follow. In some 1858 models, dash
padding will be extended downward to pro-
tect occupants knees and legs. Padding
will also be applied to backs Of front seats
to cushion the impact for rear passengers
in a crash. Here are some other innovations
we should see shortly:
First, reflectOrized strips On tenders, so
cars can be seen more easily at night at
intersections. When the best placement Of
these strips has been worked out in high
way use, they will probably be followed by
outside running lights, as we now see on
airplaneS.
We can also expect some kind Of support
behind occupants heads, to protect their
necks when a car is hit from behind. These
should avert many of those painful whip
lash" injuries to the neck. think we can
expect much stronger seat tie-dOWns, too,
so the seats won't tear loose in an impact
and add weight and force behind moving
bodies.
All in all, we at Cornell see an era Of
automotiVe engineering design proceeding
along dynamic. scientifically sound course
that promises to make the American auto
not only the most handsome but the safest
car in the world. For my wife and seven
children, and for your families. ] think
that's great news. " The End

many cars today are equipped with energy
absorbing padding. But another improve
ment is also helping: sharp, prOtruding con-
troll knobs are being placed where il IS diff
cult for the head to strike them. recently
reviewed two cases that demonstrate the
value of the padding.
In one, a factory worker was driving

center line and hit him head-on while both
cars were doing 4O When the impact came,
a 24-year-old passenger in the front seat
was thrown against the sharp dash, which
broke his jaw. Exposed control knobs
penetrated his chest wall.
In a case that was similar except that a
padded dash was present, the driver Of
station wagon ran of Sport Hill Road IN
Redding, Connecticut, during rainStom.
He hit a tree head-on at 40 miles an hour.
This is the investigating troopers report on
a l2-year-Old boy in the right front seat,
confirmed by the examining physician:
Passenger was thrown against instru-
ment panel under heavy impact. Padding
on panel saved occupant from injury. The
boy had bruises on one leg and big toe.

the development Of this padding is the

public. When one firm introduced auto
