WHAT'S THE RUSH?
PHOENIX, Ariz., [ft—Nobody
likes to rush in the hot weather,
and Barbara Blake, age 10, dis
likes it as much as anyone. The
Phoenix Gazette printed this let- [
ter from Barbara yesterday.
“I think the ice cream man
goes too fast. By the time I go get |
my money, he has passed my j

Queen Elizabeth in
Impromptu Horse Race
LONDON, !i*P>—Princess Mar
garet beat the Queen in an un
scheduled horse race today for
the second time in a row.
The royal high jinks on horse
back took place at Ascot race
track a few hours before the real
racing started in the afternoon.
Dressed in informal riding
clothes, the two pretty sisters
motored to a spot at the back of
the course. Accompanied by other
members of a house party Queen
Elizabeth II is holding at nearby
Windsor Castle during the fash
ionable Ascot race week,, Eliza
beth and Margaret mounted their
horses.
They rode slowly around the
track and headed into the stretch.
At what appeared to be a pre
arranged signal, the Queen, Mar
garet and their companions urged
their mounts into a gallop. It was
nip and tuck at first. Then Mar
garet edged ahead and it became
a walkaway.

Green Gardens
In Far North Is
Scientist’s Message
COLLEGE, Alaska—The June
issue of The Alaska Sportsman
carries an article titled “Green
Grow the Gardens” which was
written by Herman Turned, agri
cultural agent at large for the
University of Alaska extension
service.
The article points out the suc
cessful efforts of villagers in
Alaska, particularly those above
the Arctic Circle, in raising vege
table gardens to supplement their
diets.
From May thru September of
last year Turner visited 30 such
villages to bring “into these out
of-the-way places the gospel of
gardening and better living.”
Turner points out that much
progress has been made in this
direction and that “we have more
than 200 villages in remote areas
of Alaska, and at least one-half
of them- have soil and climatic
conditions conducive to crop
growing.”

J Justice Dept. Asks
High Court Ruling
On Girard Case
WASHINGTON, —The Justice
Department yesterday appealed
to the Supreme Court from a de
cision barring the government
from surrendering GI William S.
Girard to the Japanese for trial.
A petition to the nation’s high
est court said the decision by U.S.
District Judge Joseph C. McGar
rahy was “clearly wrong.”
The petition said the “■public
interest in an early disposition of
the case” is so great that the high
tribunal should act at the earliest
convenient date.
The petition was signed by
Atty. Gen. Herbert Brownell and
Solicitor J. Lee Rankin.
The decision to go directly to
the Supreme Court came after
lengthy conferences between Jus
tice and Defense Department of
ficials over the government’s next
step in the case of the soldier ac
cused of killing a Japanese
woman.
The Supreme Court has planned
to adjourn for the summer next
Monday, and Justice Douglas al
ready has left Washington for the
West Coast preliminary to a sum
mer tour of the Middle East.
