the winner $I08,3l2.50 in high-
Lighting last Saturdays finale Of
a successful 50-day meeting.
Contributing to these large
sums was activation Of the
unique, retroactive bonus clause
governing nominator- bre e d r
awards which are part of the
added money for the ~ mile
classic. The awards start at a
basic $4,000. However, any Del
aware contestant among the first
four finishers who has merely
started in either the Oaks or
New Castle, first two legs of the
Distaff Big Three, receives a
double award. 1t so happened
that the first four all had raced
in the New Castle, which doub-
led the total awards to $4,000.
Endine, owned, bred and NOM
mated by the Christiana Stables
of Mr.. and Mrs. Harry w. Lung
er, became the first two-straight
winner of the Delaware and, in
defeating the finest filly-and-
mare field assembled in years,
also earned the cherished solid
gold winners cup.
Among numerous records set
this season was the $l,9l5,035
in overall stakes, purses and
awards, topping last years ST.
S33,672.
Compared with the 5l-day
meeting in 1858, daily average

the 1858 figures of 648,290 and
12,7l1.
The State of Delaware receiv-
ed record $2,954, ,393.84 from
the Stanton operation, topping
last years $2,672,871.76. The
grand total of revenue to the
State for Delaware Parks %
seasons of racing stands at $24,-

The new" Delaware Park ac-
complished all it set out to do
thanks to its $3,500,000 physical

ing the crowning achievement of
the storied Distaff Big Three

Eisenhower administration de-
fense policies.
The subject came up at
President Eisenhower's news
conference last week. A re-
porter said several Senators
had quoted the President as
having spoken sharply to them
about efforts by a munitions
lobby to alter his defense pro-
gram.
Mr.. Eisenhower said he didn't
think he had used that term,
but said he doesn't want to see
political and financial consid-
erations involved in defense
matters. When these consid-
erations are injected, he said,
the country gets Influenced de-
cisions instead Of decisions
based strictly on the military
needs Of the country.
Mr.. Cannon and Mr.. Hebert
agreed that the men formally
registered with Congress as
lobbyists aren't always the
really effective ones"
"The cleverest lobby is the
social lobby" Mr.. Cannon said
THE fellows who do the job
operate out Of the cocktail bars
the golf clubs and the social
! gatherings"
"It,s a wide network and It's
very secret" Mr.. Cannon COM
mented, referring to the un-
registered lobby.
The best remedy, and per-
haps the only remedy" he said,
lies with the voters. They
must send representatives here
who will stand up against pres
sures. We wouldn't have 10

Senate Civil Service Committee
for approval. The subcommit-
tee drafted the revised bill after
holding weeks Of hearings on
the legislation.
Administration ofiicials indi-
Gated that, while they are pro-
posing some changes In the Dill.
the changes are not major ones
and for the most part are per-
fecting amendments Of q tech
nical nature. But they indi-
Gated they agreed with the
general philosophy Of the bill.
The revised measure is In the
nature of q compromise be-
tween the original Johnston
bill and the proposals first
made by the administration.
The revised bill Is expected
to provide combined basic-
major health insurance cover
age for all Government workers
and their families. The cost
would be split $3.50 by the
Government and its employees.
There would be no $50 de-
ductible as proposed originally
BY the administration. Instead
there would be q corridor" pro-
vision whereby employees would
have TO pay q certain amount
Of medical and hospital ex-
penses after they used up the
basic health insurance benefits
before they could receive the
major insurance benefits for
long and costly illnesses.
Employees would continue to
be covered after retirement and
so would their dependents.
Those employees already retired
would be covered but they
would have TO pay premiums.
OF course. the proposals have
yet to be approved in full by
the subcommittee and consid-
cradle revisions may still be
made before the measure is sub
mitted to the full Senate Civil
Service Committee.
