Queen Plans Racing Comeback
This Time With Hominq Pigeons
By the Associated Press

LONDON, Mar. 10 (AP).-
Queen Elizabeth II, unlucky
lately on the horse tracks, is
pushing a comeback campaign
in a humber field Of sporting
endeavor-pigeon racing.
Word leaked out that revolu-
ton is sweeping the royal dove
coteS. Len Rush, 53-year -old
carpenter who knows a good
looking bird when he sees one,
has been appointed manager
and custodian Of her Majesty's
racing pigeons.
Already 20 Of the Queens
beSt-bred pigeons have moved
to Rush'S backyard in Kings
Lynn, 8 miles from the Queens
estate at Sandringham in Nor
folk. Lens task will be to train
them and race them-and put
the Queen back among the
winners.
Len takes over this respon-
Sibility from T0-year -old Ernie
Steele. The move has caused a

aims most popular though least
publicized sports. Its great
foothold is in the industrial
cities.
Many a miner and Steelman
keeps a pigeon loft in his yard.
Every week end the pigeons
are cooped in wicker baskets
and sent off by train 100 miles
or more-sometimes even to
the European continent.
An obliging railroad porter
frees the pigeons at a given
time. Then their homing in
stinct takes over and the first
one back in his own backyard
is the winner.
King Edward VII, an enthu-
siaSt for all sports, outdoor and
indoor, was the first Of the
royal family to take UP pigeon
racing. He kept 80 birds at
Sandringham and subsequent
monarchs m ain tanned the
tradition.

Ironically for Kelly, the chief

Steele blames it on rheuma-

sports promoter who sponsored
some Of the. richest tourna-

May. who was II, died yes

parently Of a heart attack.
May sponsored the ALL
America and World Golf cham
pionships until he became
entangled with the Professional
Golfers Association in 1858
over his refusal to turn entry
fees over to the PGA.
Several riffs developed be-
tween the colorful May and the
PGA involving Mays rule that
golfers wear numbers on their
back for Identification, suspen-
sion of matches because of
weather and on decisions on the
rules Of golf.
He distributed nearly 50 mill

1941 and 1858.
May, who was a director of
the Western Golf Association
from 1856 to 1860, gained con-
troll Of the Tam O'Shanter

Walsh'S boxing background
hasn't rubbed off. A couple of
years ago when the Trotters
were in Moscow, Tom spent his
spare time scouting around for
a Russian heavyweight.
Imagine what he'd draw in
Yankee Stadium even If he was
a BUMP" the little man asked.
1.-THE place wouldn't be big
enough. But the Russians don't
seem to go in for boxing. Wres-
ting, rugby and basketball are
popular over there, but no box

The Trotters, Of course, drew
capacity crowds in Russia.
Much better. apparently, than
they'll draw Saturday night
bucking the NCAA regional
play-offs at Maryland. Ticket
sales for both events are below
expectations. Tom can't under
stand it.
Walsh should be here for the
st. Patrick'S night game if
for no other reason than
that he's the only Irish
man in Saperstein'S outfit. Two
years ago he spent a happy
March 18th with the Irish in
Boston. Last year looked like

Drop in Number of Decisions
Noted
The study reported that few
er cases involving the Bill of
Rights were decided during the
last term than in the previous
year, reflecting a decrease from
120 to 101 in the total number
of opinions written by the court.
This was attributed to the fact
that Justice Felix Frankfurter
became disabled and did not
participate in any decisions for
a substantial part of the term
and Justice Charles Whitaker
retired on April l; we'll before
the end of the term.
Thirteen cases were take
the calendar and postponed for
disposition during the term e
ginning Monday October II, it
was reported. Of these, nine
were in the field of civil rights
and civil liberties.
Ground Breaking Decisions
Noted
Of the % cases decided favor
ably, at "least two were of ma
jor Importance in breaking new
ground in the application of bas-
ic constitutional doctrines" the
survey found, adding:

may in the long run match in
significance the Supreme Courts
1904 decision IN the racial school
segregation cases." In this case,
the court held that federal
courts have the power to hear
and redress claims that arb.
trary apportionment of legisla-
tive districts constitutes de-
NAL Of equal protection of the
laws.
The other significant deci-
sion, the study said. was IN the
case of Engel v. Vitale, in which
the Supreme Court held that the
recitation of a daily prayer IN

a public school violated the
clause in the Constitution pro-
hibiting laws respecting an es-
tablishment of religion. This rul-
ing, the Al Congress said, "was
the logical application of prin-
ciples clearly set forth in ear
lier Supreme Court decisions
barring governmental aid TO any
or all religions"
The high courts rulings in
sit-in and Freedom Rider cases
were another highlight of the
term. These decisions, the A
merican Jewish Congress study
asstered, made clear that
all state segregation laws are
unconstitutional and that per-
sons may not be punished for
defying practices and customs
Of segregation"
Polarity of Court Less Clear
The analysis roted that the
polarity of the court which has
been a striking feature of the
last few years" continued dur
ing the 1S61-62 term "but in
less clear ontline." This was
due the reports said, in part to
the higher proportion of deci-
sions favorable to civil liberties
claims and in part to the fact
that an unusually large number
of the cases-20 of the % COW
cred in the report - were de-
cided by less than nine justices,
the result of the retirement of
Justice Whitaker and the ab-
sence of Justice Frankfurter.
"Chief Justice Warren and
Justices Black, Douglas and
Brennan continued to vote in
manner that justified character
izing them as a liberal bloc, ac-
cording to the study. Justices
Frankfurter, Clark, Harlan,
Stewart and Whitaker, it said.
continued to appear as con-
sentative bloc"
Justices Voting Records
Analysed
In a table, the American Jew
ish Congress study listed the
justices opinions according to
whether they were favorable or
unfavorable to the individual as
serting a constitutional or civil
right. This method was adopted
in preparing the survey. it was
explained, as a relatively objec-
tive method of classification.
There was no assumption that
the person claiming the right
was necessarily justified in do

ing so.
In the % cases analysed in
the report, according to the tai
ly, Chief Justice Earl Warren
and Justice William 0. Douglas
handed down the most opinions
favorable to the assertion of the
right-26- with only 2 unfa-
vorable. In descending order,
the study listed Justice Hugo l..
Black (25 favorable, 2 unfavor-
able); Justice William Brennan
