...attractive sections. In tune with the times, a café and bar have been added; admission prices are down 33⅓% to 50%. But for the first time since 1930, a sell-out is forecast for the Derby. Vice President & Mrs. Garner from horsy Texas and NRAdministrator Johnson, oldtime cavalryman, are scheduled to head the list of celebrities attending the race.
