tons Bes t Drivers
With Winning AdiOs

Bob Camper came back to Del
aware last Friday night, little
known in his home state
But he'll probably soon become
one of the best-known harness
racing figures in the nation. That
because he is the trainer and dri-
yer of Adios Don, who might be
the best-year-old PAGER in the
land.
With Camper at the reins, the
son of AdiOs and South Pacific,
gave a tremendous performance
in winning the first division of the
rich Battle OF the Brandywine at
Brandywine Raceway in 2:002.
Not only was this the fastest time
ever fashioned by sophomore
PAGER in the tracks nine-year his
tory. but the best by a 2-year-old
on a half-mile track anywhere
this year.
Campers name is a familiar one
at the New York tracks, where he
has done most of his racing in
recent years. But he is strictly
a Delawarean. He was born at
Bowers Beach, attended Milford
High and now calls Houston his
home, although he spends little
time there anymore.
Adios Don is owned by Harold
and Jane Large of Jericho, N. Y.
And Harold Large. who has a
wholesale paper business in Long
Island and has been in harness
racing for seven years. gives the
31-year-old Camper full credit
for the purchase and development

State Department pamphlet call- ed Background Berlin---l96l 2 The pamphlet implied that Ei- senhower could have taken Berlin before the Soviets did at the end of World War II, but decided not to.
 Republicans in Congress last week raised shouts of protest oyer this version of history.
 Eisenhower replied mildly, but in great detail. In essence he said the political boundaries of post war Germany were decided by higher ups. He said he had sent his chief of staff to the Yalta Con- ference to advise against dividing Germany, to no avail.
 Besides, Eisenhower said, he was not at all sure the Allied Forces he commanded could have reach ed Berlin first.
