' Seeks to Restrain The 81 citizens sought to restrain the management of the Spring Acres race track from conbetting at ducting races scheduled there late this month and the first part of June. The defense Friday presented a motion' to quash on several grounds, one of which held that the complaint had no legality because the county attorney or iho one from his office were represented among the 81 defendants. Judge Dunford granted the nio- pari-mutu- el :, tion to quash, holding that the state statute forbidding betting specifically designat ed the county attorney is the agency through which action in the matter must be brought. The judge granted the motion to quash, and then on a motion of the court dismissed the Case on the grounds that the court lacked Jurisdiction in view of the previous ruling. The mandamus proceedings which the plaintiffs Intend to bring before the supreme court will test, before that body, the question of jurisdiction and the validity of Judge Dunford's decision on this particular matter. pari-mutu- el FLIES ON JET WASHINGTON, May 20 (U.R) Armed Forces Day spectators at Boiling Field air force base saw a dramatic demonstration of jet power Saturday when a B-swooped over the mustangs.

The national mediation board was te counting Saturday on peace talks to avert a second railroad strike within a month.

At the government's request, the union agreed Friday to move tip its strike deadline from 6 a.m., Tuesday to June 1. The union has demanded 48 hours pay for a week. In an effort to back up these demands, it threatens to pull 6,000 switchmen off these roads: Chicago it Great Western; Chicago, Rock Island & Pacific; Davenport, Rock Island & North Western; Denver & Rio Grande; Great Northern; Minneapolis & St. Louis; Northern Pacific Terminal company of Oregon; St. Paul Union Depot Co.; Sioux City Terminal Railway Co:, and Western Pacific Railroad Co. There were signs, however, that the switchmen planned to strike only half the 10 threatened roads. Such a procedure would follow the pattern in the recent week-lon- g strike of the Brotherhood of Locomotive, Firemen and Enginemen against four other railroads. their strike The firemen chose ' to carefully prevent a targets tie-u- p st of service.
