The proudest peacocks Of
the horse world are the con-
formation hunters. and the
Nations best will be on view
at the six-day Washington
International Horse Show.
which begins Thursday at
the Armory.
Actually there are two
types of hunter classes-con-
formation, in which beauty
counts along with jumping
ability: and the working
classes, where a mount must
be able to carry his rider
safely. yet with topnotch
jumping form, out foxhunt-
ing.
Either variety must be able
Z to gallop around a course at .
q smooth pace. clearing each
fence safely but not by the
big margin that can be ex-
pected in the open jumping
y classes.
Major Items
Among the hunters, COM
fort and safety are major
items. The horse should gall
lop down to each obstacle
without any hesitancy, leap
it easily and in stride. then
on to the next without giving
his rider any difficulty.
The conformation horses
are brought in, after their
jumping is completed. to be
looked over thoroughly by
the judges.
First, they must be sound.
They are watched moving, to
make sure that there is no
lameness.
Then they are compared for
physical beauty-and in a
show of high caliber, such as
this Washington Interna-
tional, the onlooker can be
pretty sure that most of the
conformation horses are up
to this high flown compete
ton.
A horses manners are an
important part of his quail
ifications as a hunter, and
some classes are shown at a
walk, trot, canter and hand
gallop to demonstrate how
quiet he is and how well he
moves.
Although classes over
fences, undoubtedly, require
tremendous talent on the
part Of riders, there is a Ger
tain knack to riding in q
hack class that is the differ
ence between a great show
man and a merely good one
For here, the clever rider
can show off his horses best
points to advantage and. if
he's lucky and sufficiently
adept. conceal a few bad
ones.
No Peer
Morton w. "Cappy" Smith
has no peer at showing in a
hack class, although he has
won far greater fame leap
ing big fences.
However, the sheer show
manship of Mr.. Smiths ap-
proach to the business Of
hacking is a joy to behold.
Every moment is designed
to play up his mounts gaits
and manners.
There are many other
famous riders who do bril-
liantly on a hack, and Armory
spectators will see the best
that the country has to offer.
Glasses over jumps are for
lightweight hunters, who are
of a less rugged type and re-
quired to be up to carrying 1865
pounds. The middle and
heavyweight hunters must be
of heavier build and carry
up to 1876 pounds or more.
Ladies' hunters, of any build
are judged not only on jump
ing but especially on man
ners. The "Corinthian" hunt
ers will be of a type suitable
to carry a master of fox
hounds with brilliance and
holiness: and then there will
be qualified hunters who have
hunted with a recognized
hunt club for a specified
number of times.
There also are divisions for

The National Committee for

the tendency of legislators to
think in terms of 1.-The next

generation"
The new committee to con-
slider overall strategy in do
mestic and world problems has
been recommended by the
NCEC for the second session of
56th Congress, which begins
January 6. The proposal en-
countered skepticism and some
informal opposition at the
Capitol.
The executive committee of
the NCEA, organized 10 years
ago to support liberal policies
and candidates of both parties,
conceded that questions al
ready have been raised as to
whether such a comprehensive
and authoritative committee
could function conStructively
and without partisanship.

The organization contended
that the idea is practical and
would not encroach on eXecu-

for policy. NCEC officials are
confident Congress would
readily adopt the plan if the
general public itself were made
more aware of the need for
such a body to "fill the leader
ship gap and raise the level of

But staff members in the

the whole purpose of the law
is to get the money out of the
husbands.
They feel that discouraging
complaining wives from seeking
court action (unless willing to
accept punishment as a result
will rob the law of its effec-
tiveness.
And they reason that proba-

plans still keep the threat of
a Jail sentence hanging over
the heads of the husbands. This
system, they believe, is a better
deterrent to delinquency in
payment.
But the judge said this mere.

the process, giving the hus-
bands more time to vacillate.
