SARATOGA SP RINGS,
N. Y.-There's nothing more
exciting, nor discouraging,
than watching thousands Of
dollars flicked away with a
scratch of an ear or. the wip-
ing Of a forehead.
The fabulous price Of $780,
900 paid for Mrs. George
Greenhalghs Hyperion colt
Wednesday night at the Sar-
atoga Yearling Sales was
reached in less than five
minutes. starting at $4,000,
jumping to 10, up to Is and
then hanging, in a most terri
flying way, at $4,000.
The expression on the row
of Greenhalgh faces, from
Grandmother Greenhalgh
right on down to George III.
showed just how stunning
that pause was. However,
Sonny Whitney, who bought
the colt, took over from
there, bid personally up to
.$60,o00 and then. by remote
control, turned his bidding
over to someone outside the
auction ring.
There is, at the moment, a
mist over exactly who was
bidding against Whitney for
the magnificent chestnut
colt. Some say it was Howell
jackson Of Middleburg. Va.
Some claim 1t was George
Humphrey, or some experts
say 1t was Jack Skinner Of
Middleburg, bidding for Paul
Mellon.
Suspense
There were bids coming,
thick and fast, from all over
the amphitheater until the
price hit $4,000. After that
it was a duel between Mack
Miller of Lexington, KY, and
Sonny Whitney. Mack, one
of the country's up and COM
ing young trainers, was bid
ding for one Of his clients,
but, until late Thursday, he
has kept his mouth quite
shut.
Even Humphrey Finney
president of Fasig- Upton
says he doesn't know who the
underbidder was.
Mrs. whitney. sitting II
the first row of the Arena
in a cerise dress, with coat
and attached hood to match
seemed quite calm through
the thick of the bidding. but
it was the only time during
the night that the press boys
normally quite unimpressed
stood up and craned theil
neckS.
There was a moment o
pure sentiment. just beforI
the bidding on the Green
halgh colt, when Humphre.
Finney took over the auc
tioneers' stand before Mrs
George Harrison's Blue Rids
farm colt came under tn
hammer. Humphrey raiset

Archbold might mean the ex-
pected buildup of traffic vol
ume in the Northwest area
could force construction of a
freeway along the controver-
sial Wisconsin avenue corridor
District highway officials
prefer to build the parkway
instead of the Wisconsin cor
ridor freeway because the free
way would take up valuable
real estate.
The Glover-Archbold park
way could siphon off much OF
the heavy traffic volumes ex-
pected in the, Northwest cor
ridor, they feel, and thus make
a Wisconsin freeway unneces-
Sary.
The Wisconsin avenue free
way would be the Districts link
to Interstate Route 70-S, which
now ends at Pooks Hill in Be-
thesda.
District and Maryland high
way planners have said they
would prefer to bring Route
7O-S into the city by way OF
Silver Spring and the north
central corridor east of Rock
Creek, instead of down the

fic, highway officials feel they
might not have volume to justi-
fy construction of an eight
lane span. Officials believe con-
struction of a bridge narrower
than eight lanes would not be
wise, considering future traffic
needs.
Opposition to the highway
/ plans comes from a variety Of
/ groups-conservation and rec
reational groups, neighborhood
citizens associations and Con-
rad L. Wirth, director of the
National Park Service.
Congress already has ex-
pressed dissatisfaction with the
planned roadways through the
park. Last session it deleted
funds sought for them.
AS for any major parkway
construction in Glover-Arch-
bold, Congress has clamped a
five-year freeze on such plans
which won't expire until mid
1865.
4 Highway officials are aware
that the fight against the road
ways would be taken to Capitol
Hill if the Commissioners
should approve the proposal.
There the showdown would
involve more than merely the
two single-lane connections to
Reservoir road, they say; it
would involve the entire concept
of a four-lane parkway through
all of Glover-Archbold.

construction of a heavy-duty
parkway.
In fact. highway officials told
the Commissioners they intend
to recommend construction Of
a four lane Glover = Archbold
parkway in 1865. The two con-
Meeting lanes to Reservoir road
would become part of the future
parkway.
The highway planners sug-
gested that an alternative plan
might be. considered for the
time being. 1t is this plan that
now has been gaining favor
with Engineer Commissioner
Frederick ]. Clarke.
Instead of building the two
connecting roads to Reservoir
road-which could be a start
on the Glover-Archbold park

proposes to build connections
from The Three Sisters Bridge
to FoxhaH road.
This would require knocking
down about six residences ir

However, the highway Off
cials say they do not intend
to abandon their plans for a
four-lane parkway in 1865.
The decision to move the
connection to Foxhall road
thus would mean that plans
for the larger bridge could go

possibility OF a major Glover

in the future.

District highway planners now want to bring
a connection from the Three Sisters Island

u. S. Stand
On Berlin
Reuffirmed
By the Associated Press

Secretary of State Rusk has
told the United States Ambas-
sador in Moscow to make un-
mistakably clear at the start
of his Berlin talk with the
Soviets that the West will
defend its essential Berlin In
terests "at whatever cost"
State Department sources
said cabled instructions went
Friday to Moscow where Level
lyn E. Thompson hopes to begin
with Soviet Foreign Minister
Andrei Gromyko next week a
new round Of discussions aimed
at peaceful settlement Of the
Berlin crisis.
United States officials said II
is up to Mr.. Gromyko to fix
the time when he will see Mr..
Thompson. who is to seek an
early meeting. Also, they said,
the Kremlin has indicated
neither publicly nor privately a
retreat from its announced
Berlin plan which the Western
powers have found unaccept-
able as a basis for negotiations,
Thus 1t was understood that
in some seven pages Of in
struction cabled to Mr.. Thomp-
son, the American Ambassador
has been told to stress again
at the beginning the Western
resolve-expressed to the Rus
slams many times before-to
stand firm on Berlin rights.

In DRIFTING Of Moon

MOSCOW, Dec. 80 (AP).-
Soviet scientists indicated to-
day that they will put more
men into orbit around the earth
before trying to send one around
the moon. But they spoke of
flights to the planets Mars and
Venus possibly within the next
few years."
The successful earth orbits Of
Soviets Cosmonauts Yuri Ga
garin and Gherman Titov had
led some Western experts to
predict the Russians would aim
their next manned space shot
around the moon.
The official Soviet news
agency Tass, quoting design
ers Of Soviet spaceships" whom
1t did not identify, said the Ga
garin and Titov flights war
rant preparations for a manned
flight around the moon with
the return to earth"
But it said "Flights Of space
ships around the earth will be
continued" and that "in the
next few years the Soviet space
program will most probably
develop in the following sue
cession - prolonged manned
space flight, first on a round
the-earth orbit. and then to
the nearest heavenly bodies"
Unnamed Moon Shot
In the meantime, however,
Tass indicated the Soviet
Union may try to land an un-
manned spaceship on the moon.
Modern standards Of rocket
technology" 1t said, "enable
the dispatch of an automatic
station to the moon with a So
called soft landing on its sur

1t was understood that the
President and his wife consid-
cred the state Of his fathers
recuperation would be such as
to make her trip possible in late

this timing would put her in

Out Of 5000 patients at the
New York institute. whose av-
erage age was 50 and who had
an average Of seven weeks
training as in-patients there,
88 per cent became able to
meet the needs Of daily living.
DR.. Rusk left with the Presi-
dent two booklets describing
generally the kind Of rehabili-
tation treatment planned for
his father.
One, called Strike Back at
Stroke" is available to anyone
at the Government Printing
Office as Public Health Serv-
ice Publication No. 500.
This booklet describes the
causes Of stroke and explains
in detail special treatment of
a stroke patient.

No. 2-1958, Of the institute

AphaSia is q medical term

that he plans to withdraw the

Gen. de Gaulle's thinking on
Algeria. said there are signs

There was always the posi-
bility that Gen. de Gaulle might
have to resort to regroupment
and partition to safeguard Eu-
ropean settlers in Algeria.
This probably would mean
placing the country's Europeans
In rich coastal areas, leaving
the barren interior to the Mos
lens. 1t would also necessitate
maintenance Of large military
forces to protect the Europeans.
Gen. de Gaulle has enunciat-
ed this as one solution, but
informed sources say that while
he recognizes it might be neces-
sary it is not a solution he
would favor. That he feels it is
not likely it will have to be
employed is indicated in his
troop withdrawal statement.
AS he made clear in his ad-
dress, Gen. de Gaulle wants an
independent Algeria with con-
tinued economic and cultural
ties with France. He regards
the successful termination of
