Capof Winner
In Preakness
Baltimore. May 14 i
Greentree stable's Capot gained
revenge today by setting a new
Plmlico track record in the
Preakness.
Capot, runner-up in the derby.
won a nose decision in a photo
over Isidor Biebers Palestinian.
The judges had to examine an
other photo before deciding
third place.
Crispin Oglebay's Noble Im
pulse was given the nod for
show money and Mrs. E. H. El
lison Jr's Sun Bahram got
fourth.
Calumet farm's Ponder, the
surprise derby winner, wound
up fifth when his attempt to
come from last place failed.
Capot's time of 1:58 for the
mile and three sixteenths cut
two-fifths of a second off the
previous mark set by Riverland
in 1943.
The race was run on a track
dampened by a light rain which
fell for 27 minutes before the
nine colts went to the post for
the 73rd running of the classic.

Today they are sturdy, healthy

poverty stricken lives of a mil

the same school as his mother.

Union Proposal
Detroit, May 14 ( The Ford
Motor company today rejected
the union proposal to settle the
strike of 63,000 Ford workers.
At the same time, the com
pany announced it was submit
ting a counter proposal to the
ClO-United Auto Workers.
The union proposal was made
yesterday by UAW President
Walter Reuther. He declared it
as "detailed and specific."
Earlier the federal govern
ment expressed concern at the
strikers' "grace consequences."
Mediation Director Cyrus S.
Ching said he would step in
unless the strike were settled
within a "reasonable period."
The federal mediation chief's
message arrived yesterday as the
UAW-CIO made a settlement
proposal in writing in the pro
duction speeds dispute.
