The elastic tape is suspended

forward in front of the field

Trainer Arnold Winick, who
speaks with a mid-weStern

Mrs. Herbert Herff's Tudor Era

February in Florida.
Winnick. at 80 the youngest
trainer in the race, is not half
as confident about the Interna-

have established the rugged
English-bred colt the 8-5 IA

AT THE RACES
With JOE KELLY

A brilliant sun was taking
the frost out of the early morn
ing air at Laurel as rehearsals
reached fever pitch on the
backstretch for tomorrow's big
international show.
Within earshot, one could
hear Russian, Spanish, French
and various kinds of English,
including some talk that was
very, very British.
John D. Schapiro, Laurel's
dapper president. who is main
ly responsible for turning Lau-
rel's stable area into a babel

befitting a host. Not only had
all the horses he had singled
out for the past year arrived
safely after logging thousands
of air miles, but the weather
was ideal. Predictions had it
holding clear. and not too
chilly-ideal for mid-Noyem-
ber.
On the grass course, at the
half-mile pole, where a strange
device known as the New
market starting gate juts out
of the greensward, things were
not going so smoothly.
Sartorially perfect Eddie
Blind, who has been starting
horses in Maryland for a dozer
years, was trying to get the
webbing to behave.
Last November Eddie spent
one of his most disturbing
afternoons trying to start the
international field from a fias
start. If he has anything tc
do with it, there will be ne
shenanigans such as went or
last year.
But the spring device, which
lifts the strands of tape above
the horses, was not working
properly as horses waited to be
schooled. Blinds crew woult

BY INVITATION
Sparks Fly
MerriIy at
Potomac
By ANNE CHRISTMAS
Star star Writer

Nothing much happened in
a small Montgomery County
village called Potomac yester-
day except:
A-Two hundred people
turned out to cheer a prear-
ranged fire: and g.
B-Three hundred ,(some of
them the very same as in "A")
turned out for a mammoth
no-budget parade.
Herewith are a few notes
compiled during the day:
Received formal invitation
from pyromaniac friends to at
tend big Potomac fire set for
II am. on tract of land bought
by Holton Arms School for 50
million campus in. future. OBJ
ject Of blaze was to DESTROY
existing building, a small frame
structure begun once by some
body who forgot to complete it.
Holton girls arrived by buses
in uniform of day: skirt, sweat
er, high white socks. Neighbors
demonstrated various interpre-
tations Of what to wear to a
flre =. from blue jeans to
citified Navy suits with white
gloves.
One hour interlude scarcely
enough before beginning of
first annual Potomac parade.
Slightly shorter parade than
one for President Roosevelt's
Second Inaugural; one-half
mile from school to crossroads.
Entire program operated with
out monetary expenditure.
During ceremonies County
Manager M. L. Reese attempted
to describe Potomac, his own
hometown, to neighbors, and

Other Contests Developing
Justice Chambers, on the

but there are reports that Mr..
Chambers may withdraw.

Tom Pulliam versus incumbent

Stanley Solomon against Ed

A lot of new faces win
emerge from the precinct cleo

Brown, central committee vice
chairman. Some of the liberal
and moderate chairmen are re-

to successors, she explained.
Under the new central COM

engineering studies on the prof.
ect may proceed with funds now
available to the Federal Avia-
tion Agency.
The corporation idea was adj
vanced last month by Repre-
sentative Bow. Republican OF
Ohio. Mr.. Bow suggested the
proposed agency plan and build
the sewer line. at an estimated
cost of $22 million, big enough
to accommodate not only the
airport but the communities
that would develop around 1t.
The airport is under construc-
ton at Chantilly, Va.
The Ohioan said the cost Of
the sewer project would be
shared by the local jurisdictions
over a long period. Under his
proposal the agency would be
permanent.
Interim Device" Favored
Mr.. BroShill told the Presi-
dent, however, he believes the
special Federal body should be
recognized only as an interim
device" 1t would exist only
until such time as a Northern
Virginia Sanitation Authority
could be formed by those por-
tons of Fairfax and Loudoun
Counties which would benefit
from the sewer service.
He pointed out that the sani-
tation authority concept has
been backed by the Joint Con-
greSsional Committee on Wash
ington Metropolitan Problems.
BY emphasizing the need for
speed on the sewage disposal
question. the Virginian was
calling attention to the FAA
goal Of completing the airport
construction by early 1861.
Pipeline Is Alternative
He indicated the money FAA
could use to launch the en-
cheering studies is the $3.50, 900
which Congress approved last
session to build a small sewage
treatment plant to serve the
airport alone. This plant would
discharge treated sewage into
a tributary of the Potomac
River above Washington's water
supply intakes.
