First Revealed Clash
1t was the first border clash
with the Chinese to be an
nounced by the Nepali govern
ment. Mr.. Koirala has been
playing down previous reports
of border trouble in an effort to
keep Nepal out of the dispute
between China and India that
developed last summer after
the Chinese killed IL Indian
border patrolmen in two
clashes.
One report several months
ago said Chinese troops had
penetrated the Mustang area
and had tried to collect taxes
from peasants.
Mustang was once a semi
independent feudal h olding
with only a loose tie to Nepal.
The Chinese are believed to
feel they have some claim to
the area.
The Nepal government an
nounced last night it had re-
ceived a note from Peiping ad-
mitting for the first time the
renewal of rebellion in Tibet.
The note said it had been nec-
essary to send troops into the

betan-Nepalese border which a
temporary border agreement on
March 81 had demilitarized.
Withdrawal Assured
Peiping assured Katmandu
the Chinese troops would not
violate Nepal's territory and
would be withdrawn when the
rebellion was crushed.
Recent reports have told of
fighting at three important
road functions in Tibet: She
kar Dzong. so miles north of
Mount Everest; Saka, to the
west 125 miles north of
Katmandu, and in Western tt
bet at Prkha, 70 miles north of
the junction of the borders of
Nepal, India and Tibet.
In New Delhi, the Times of
India today reported that an
estimated 100000 Tibetan no.
mads - about half of them
armed-are fighting their way
through Chinese forces from
Eastern to Western Tibet.
The report, for which there
was no official confirmation.
came from the newspapers
correspondent in Siliguri, West
Bengal, about so miles south of
the Indian end of the Tibetan
trade routes. It quoted "reli-
able information" reaching
Siliguri.
100000 Estimated
The dispatch said the nomad
force from Northeast Tibet in
cluded an estimated 100000

and armed with American, Jap

said. Although the nomads
plan to entrench themselves in

Bowie Hoping to Dig Out
In Time to Run Saturday
2Doys' Programs
Called Off After
4th SnoWstorm
By JOSEPH B. KELLY
Star Racing Editor

Bowie officials have Cancelled
today's and tomorrow's racing
programs and set Saturday as
the reopening date for the
weather-marred meeting, which
now has been interrupted by
four snowstorms.
After surveying the blanket
OF 6 to 8 inches of snow re-
naming in the wake of the
latest storm, President Donald
Lillis decided another day
would be needed to clear the
parking lots and roads leading
into the plant.
Today's program was called
of early this morning, when the
snow was still falling heavily.
ReOpened Only Yesterday
Only yesterday Bowie re-
opened after losing five days to
the worst snowstorm of the
winter. The track has been
able to run only three days
so far this month.
Today's nine-race card has
been discarded entirely. To-
morrow morning trainers will
enter horses for a 10-race Sat-
urday program, headed by the
S25. 5.000-added Bowie Handicap.
Track crews began clearing
the racing strip today and we're
making good progress because
OF the lack of wind which
eliminated any drifting.
Workouts, Possible Tomorrow
Track Supt. Marty Meyer
hopes to have the track open
for workouts at daybreak to-
morrow.
Tomorrow's loss will mark
the eighth date surrendered to
the elements during the sched-
uled 40-day meeting, which
opened February IL.
The Maryland Racing Com
mission will handle the problem
Of re-scheduling Bowie's eight
lost days. There is possi-
bility that some of the DAYS
might be made up this spring
at Laurel and Pimlico and the
balance switched to Laurel in
late October.
Yesterdays one-day reopen
ing brought some momentary
cheer to Bowie officials as a
surprisingly good crowd of
1859 turned out to wager
$917,151.
Both the gate and betting
totals were above expectations,
especially in the face of snow
orecasts. Fortunately, no
Snow1akes appeared during
the nine-race card and the
crowd drove home over dry
roads. The temperature reached
Al degrees during the after
noon.

JUSTICE DEPARTMENT GETS CASE
Marshall Says AFL
Misconstrued Words

DALLAS. Mar. 10 (AP).-
Grievances Of the f1edgling
American Football League,
which charges the old National
Football League is trying to
destroy it, are in the hands of
the Justice Department.
Joe Foss, AFL commissioner
said he had filed an affidavit
with the Justice Department
embodying most of the charges
he first leveled at the NIL
the day it voted to expand and
take in Dallas as a competing
club with the Dallas AFL team
owned by Lamar Hunt.
Foss said the NFL had tried
to entice AFL members away,
franchised teams in cities that
had AFL clubs and tried to
impede the new league in its
efforts to obtain suitable play
ers and coaches.
He also said the NFL hadn't
planned to expand until the
new league was organized.
Cites Marshall's Remarks
And he indicated one of his
strong points would be the al
legation that George Preston
Marshall, owner of the Wash
ington Redskins, had admitted
publicly and privately that the
only reason that had ever been
given by his fellow NFL cluu
owners for expanding was tc
kill off competition by the
American League"
At Los Angeles, Marshall
said Foss had misconstrued his
remarks. Il said that if the
NFL were to expand for the
purpose of killing off competi.
ton it would be in violation oil
the antitrust laws" Marshall
declared.
Furthermore, I am not op-
posed to the American Football
League or any other league.
constantly have held that oul
league was not antitrust, ever
though the Government claimed
we were. 1 believe the start oi
the AF'L is proof that we are
not antitrust"
Foss said he was invited by
the Justice Department, alonl
with other AFL officials, to file
aftidavitS when 1t decided tt
investigate the charges that the
NIL was attempting to crush
the new league.
