There was considerable alarm when Count Fleet was corked by Vincentive as he fumbled out of the barrier for the parade that he was to lead in earn-

ing $20,150 in the Wood Memorial.

As the old trainer, Alex Gordon, remarked, however, Mrs. John D. Hertz’ brown charger could win the derby on three legs—on a fast track or through-

a plowed field.

Count Fleet's wound is superficial, and nothing to worry about inasmuch as it is on a hind leg. A thoroughbred’s hind legs never break down: It is the front legs, much more fragile, that give way.

He grabbed himself in his first outing this . year in which he ran down Bossuet when he got ‘ready and pulled away. A horse grabbing himself means a fore hoof striking a hind leg. The secret of Count Fleet's speed and staying quality is his beautiful action and rhythm. Yet he is so full of nervous energy that h& can’t always put his ‘hoofs down where he wants them. Johnny Longden had an armful of horse all the way along the mile and a sixteenth of the Wood, yet Count Fleet's 1:48 was only two-fifth of a second off the record for old Jamaica. As someone remarked, Longden looked like a traffic cop leading a parade. : Count Fleet went to the post in the Wood at 1 to 4.

Boys in Service = Want Football

Times Special BLOOMINGTON, Ind, April 21—1f there is any doubt but that the boys in service want to see their football, this would settle something: Several months ago, Indiana university students donated $600 with which the university alumni office could purchase extra prints .of the moving pictures of the 1942 Indiana-Minnesota, Indiana-Ne-braska and iIndiana-Ohio State football games. Because of the flood of feuuests that have come into the alumni office, from England, North Africa, Puerto Rico, Alaska, Panama, and nearly every state in the union, two extra prints of the three game movies have been bought and sent out in answer to the requests. Claude Rich, alumni field secretary, said today that more than 35 camps have now shown the films, and that more requests are ' coming in.

Feminists Win British Victory

LONDON, April 21 (CDN).— Men in Britain are beginning to sit up and take notice at the influence and achievements of women in a country where males long have ruled the roost—in a nice way, of course. . Yesterday, members of parliament blinked as they watched the second woman member in less than a month chalk up a victory after a hard fought battle. Some men members are proud of one victory in 20 years. Women are to be admitted to the home guard, the government announced, to the delight of Dr. Edith Summerskill whose campaigning for three years on this subject has included showing other members of parliament how good women can be on the rifle range. A few weeks ago, the government conceded equal compensation for war injuries to women. .

NAZIC COMPLETING

(ELLAR BILL { VETO PREDICTED

Calls for Senate Approval Of Most Everyone in

Government.

By DANIEL M. KIDNEY Times Staff Writer WASHINGTON, April 21.—That the McKellar bill requiring senate confirmation of all federal appointees making upward of $4500 is so worded as fo meet certain veto, if it ever passes the senate and house, was predicted by a departmental spokesman today. The wording of the bill, now on the senate calendar, would make almost everyone in the government subject to senate approval, it was said. .For besides those making $4500 upward, the following are included: “All persons whose duties include participation in conferences or discussions with persons from other departments or agencies, or with persons from other bureaus, divisions, sections, or other subdivisions of their own departments or agencies (other than with their own superiors), held for the purpose of determining the policies or methods’ to be followed in administering any of the functions of any department or agency or any bureau, division, section, or other subdivision thereof.”

All Inclusive Section

According to an administration interpretation, this section is so all inclusive that almost anyone could be summoned to the senate for approval or rejection. Senator Carl Hatch (D. N. M.) at one: time got the measure amended ‘in the senate judiciary committee to exempt the Tennessee valley authority. TVA has its own merit system, and functions on a regional basis without central direction from Washington. But Senator McKellar talked the Judiciary committeemen into restoring TVA. The entire measure is looked upon by some as another round in the senator's long-stand-ing quarrel with TVA Chairman
