Maryland-based 3-year-olds
are coming in for attention
today at Laurel as trainers
began surveying the field for
Saturdays 18th Chesapeake
Stakes, one of the EaSt's tradi-
tional tests for the Kentucky
Derby.
It's been IL years since the
Chesapeake Stakes produced a
Derby naturalization in l948
but with the 3-year-old di-
vision so mixed up there is a
lingering hope in some barns
at Laurel that a Derby colt
may be around.
Festival King Favored
The early choice for the
mile and-one-Sixteenth Ches-
apeake, raised to a $4,000
purse this spring, is Cecil B.
Fischbach's Festival King, a
Triple Crown nominee who
turned in a corker of a warm
up at a mile and a sixteenth
at Laurel about a week ago.
But the Chesapeake is far
from being conceded to Festival
King, as some Is three-year-
olds are counted as possible
starters for Saturdays race.
Prominent on the list is Mrs.
Ada L. Rice's Cedar Brook, a
black colt by One Count, who
beat Pointer and Pen Bolero.
Bowie's Gold Cup winner, in
the six-furlong Chesapeake
Prep on last Saturdays card.
StabIemate Won, Too
Cedar Brooks victory served
as fair warning to Laurel's
weekend crowd as the Rice
silks repeated in the next race,
the first running of the Laurel
Maturity, which fell to Talent
Show, a 4-year-old by Olympia
and Royal Lily.

4-kinute Mile

QUANTICO. Va. April 10
(AP).-The target date for the
next four-minute mile by an
American is late May or early
June.
II figure by then I'll be just
about ready" Ed Moran, a tall
Penn State senior. said yester-
day. 1--WE been coming along
gradually the last two years and
I should just about hit my peak
around then"
Moran is not one to engage
In idle boasts. He already has
one 4:01.7 mile to his credit and
thinks he should have no great
trouble chopping off that extra
II 10 seconds. Don Bowden,
Of all the members of the A.
minute mile club, is the only
American to make it.
III have to see how things
go before I decide on whether
to try for the $500 meters
(metric mile) or 800 meters in
the Pan American games, "
Moran said. Actually. 1 would
prefer to leave it up to my
coach, Chick Werner.
He has been mainly re-
sponsible for getting me down
near 4 minutes for the mile. so
he certainly should know what's
best for me. When / showed
up at Penn State as a fresh
man, the best I ever had done
was 4:35. After my first year,
! was down to 4:l8."
Moran won his first outdoor
mile of the year here Saturday
in the Quantico Relays, beating
out Peter Close of st. Johns in
a slow APP. But it was the
first outdoor meet of the year
in the East. Rain was falling
and the track was blotched with
puddleS.
This sprawling Marine of
ficerS training base will be
Moran's permanent address
after he graduates from Penn
State in June. He's due for a
hitch in the service and the
Marines have nabbed him.

When the calcium content Of poul-

They say Khrushchev should get
along well with Nixon because both
are hard boiled political realists.
The naked reality Of this moment
is that only emergence Of govern
ment by the people in Russia may
offer hope of world peace and safety
from world destruction.
Norman Cousins stood up in Mos
COW the other night and told the
Russians what'swhat.
But he couldn't tell them what
then.
He couldn't win them any more
than he can his fellow countrymen
to what they call 'structured "
peace, meaning peace through trust
in world organization and law
Because the famous editor Of the
Saturday Review is an idealist who
believes in this "structured peace,
many will fail to note how brave
and wise the body Of his speech
was. He delivered it before t h e
Praesidium of the Soviet P c a c e
Committee. The Saturday Review
carried it last week.
The Russians were told bodily and
honestly why we can't trust their
government, the history that has
brought the present great impasse.
And they we're reminded OF the
atomic death all mortals are fac
ing.

processes of world law
What cruel let-down this ending

requires world conquest world law
is not possible. Nor is agreement
possible upon what justice IS.
And there is no ink, oath. seal

Does she merely think us weak
