' WHIRLY WINNER ATBROOKLYN Little Mr. Big Tail Easily Wins Race; Swing And Sway Takes Second By SID FEDER NEW YORK, June 27.—(/F)— Whirlaway stretched out his s ix foai tail and won the Brooklyn handicap today so easily he look ed as if he can overhaul Seabis cuit’s all-time money-winning rec ord any time the cash is laid on the line for him. Turning loose his famous ki c k down Aqueduct’s “killer” straight away in tune with the “here comes Whirlaway” cry from the stands, Little Mr. Big Tail galloped home by nearly two lengths to pick up a $23,650 pay-check and become the second horse in all racing his tory to go over the $400,000 mark in earnings. Today’s trick skyrocketed his bankroll to $404,486 just $33,244 short of the Biscuit’s $437,730. It also put him in a spot to pick up the difference in the Brooklyn handicap at Empire, July 4, and the Massachusetts handicap at Suffolk, July 15, on the schedule Owner Warren Wright and Trainer Ben Jones have lined up for him. He carried top weight of 12 8 pounds today, spotting the seven others in the field anywhere from six to 17, and still whizzed the mile and a quarter in 2 minutes, 2 2-5 seconds. The time lopped three-fifths of a second off the record for the Brooklyn and came within one second of the track rec ord on footing that was not com pletely fast. Mrs. Payne Whitney’s Swing and Sway was second and Mrs. Parker Coming’s Attention third. By all odds, his performance was the headline act of a war re lief program which saw William Ziegler, Jr.’s Breezing Home to win the $5,875 Great American stakes by a neck and Doublrab, frGJB the barn of Mrs. Tilyou Christopher of Miami, take the Army and Navy handicap in the track record time'■of 1:10 2-5 for six furlongs, although weighted down with 125 pounds. 4 -V Train Wreck Believed Caused By Saboteurs NEEDLES, Calif., June 27.—W— Two witnesses told a coroner’s jury tod«y they believed saboteurs caused a train wreck fatal to two crewmen.

NAVY IS PLANNING MASS ENLISTMENT (Continued from Page One) already have been called for in duction in the Army should not hold them back. Men who have a week to wait before induction still are eligible for Naval service. For men with professional ex perience—and that ranges from everything from carpentry work to radio experience—there are many ratings open. For men with no ex perience in a particular trade, the Naval Reserve has thrown ' its trade schools wide open, so that men may learn a trade, and thus avail themselves of a rahng with in four months. “Now as never before,” said R. L. DeLoach, CBM. head of the lo cal recruiting station, “have men been offered the advantages which they now may enjoy in the Navy. The Navy is in dire need of in telligent young men—ana if they don’t already know a trade, we wrant to teach them one.” The local recruiting station is open every day—including Sunday —from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m., and men may make appointments for later in the day if it is impossible for them to get there during the reg ular office hours. Base pay for men entering the Navy as apprenfice seamen has been raised by the recent act of Congress to $50 a month, and that I pay continues while the recruit is in school. His lodging clothes and food, of course, are furnished, and when the recruit has completed his schooling, he is rated as Petty Officer, Third Class, with a pay of $78 per month, plus all living ex penses. Arrangements are under way for the care of dependents of mer enlisted below Petty Officer, Sec ond Class, and for those men who are qualified for such a rating, an allotment is made for their de pendents. Married men are eligible for en listment, but it is necessary»that their wives sign statements of con sent. Men under 21 years of age, also must have statements signed by their parents or guardians. For men who have had sea ex perience, either in the Navy or in civil life, there are many ratings open, and it is suggested that they contact their recruiter ovfore the quota of ratings is exhausted. Rat ings up to Chief Boatswain’s Mate are open. The personnel of the local re cruiting office is as follows: R. L. DeLoach, Chief Boatswain’s Mate (petty officer in charge); J. O. Chase Fria, Chief Specialist: J. A. Helms, Specialist First Class; and J. W. Gaither, Yeoman, Second Class. Any of these men will be glad to issue any information, eith er by mail or in person, or by telephone. Men who face immediate draft call, the recruiters said last night, will do well to investigate their chances in the Navy. Many of the ratings which are opened now will be closed before many more days, and it will be impossible to enlist even the best qualified men. 2 sevastopoiTsforces SMASH NAZI ATTACKS (Continued from Page One) ments in the fighting may depend on which side can get air superior ity first.”) The midnight Russian announce ment said that Sevastopol’s artil lery batteries alone “annihilated” 1,500 Germans yesterday and de stroyed two German artillery and two trench mortar batteries. In “exceptionally fierce” fight ing, the eight-day Ukraine offen sive of the Germans was brougnt to a halt east of Kupyansk, 60 miles southeast of Kharkov, said Pravda accounts. Thirty-one a i r battles were fought in a single day and 51 German planes were wrecx ed in them, said the newspaper’s correspondent. Before Sevastopol, the Crimean base of the Red fleet which has been under violent assault for 23 days, the Russians declared t he Germans had expended the stu pendous total of 50 trainloads ol explosives—bombs, shells and mines—in a futile effort to break open the city’s defenses. Gain Few Yards But their latest gains, made by reserves brought up after a lull in which manpower and munitions were replenished, were said to have netted only a few dozen yards of plowed-up ground at two places in the northeast sector. Even in one of these places, it was said, the Germans had been partly thrown out. “The heroism of the Sevastopol garrison, its unwavering staunch ness and devotion to duty stand out with utter clarity,” said a Pravda dispatch from the city. Bitter fights with knife, bayonet and pistol often have raged for hours between Russians ancl Ger mans in a single trench, the corre spondent said. The graves of thousands of Ger mans dot the hillsides where 50, 000 of them have died or be e n wounded said this dispatch. New Regiments The depletion of German man power was said to be evident in the presence of several new infan try regiments transferred from other fronts and in the fact that assault groups which formerly had consisted of regiments and even whole divisions had now dwindled to companies and battalions. One prisoner from the 170th Ger man infantry division was quoted as saying that companies of his unit, which originally numbered 80 to 100 men, now had only 10 or 15 survivors. The German casualties of 50.000 for this offensive already exceed ed the losses, estimated at 45,000, in two previous drives on Sevasto pol in November and December. Lack of sufficient reserves was said to have forced the Germans to limit their action to artillery duels at some point-. Although the Germ;%;' Ukraine offensive had cost tl gn hugely, Soviet accounts admitted that the invaders were still able to gain local superiority in that sector by massing large forces on narrow fronts. These were reported prob ing for soft spots. The Soviet withdrawal from Kupyansk was termed orderly and from new positions the Russians were said to be wearing down en emy tanks and infantry. 4 ‘VICTORY’ PARADE IS PLANNED HERE _\ (Continued from Page One) help boost the sale of War bonds and stamps.
