"COME TO THE FAIR" (IN PREVIEW) The Seattle World's Fair is being rushed to completion and here's a first-hand peek at what's in store for the 10,000,000 expected visitors. FOREIGN AID FOR U.S. The Foreign Minister of the Dominican Republic comes through with a gift for the President - an elaborately carved chair - a rocker. ARCARO HANGS UP SADDLE "Mr. Racing" - the Master - Eddie Arcaro announces his retirement. He won more than 4,700 races with $30,000,000 in purses.

It was a good baseball year - The DETROIT TIGERS sharpened their claws and had men like Cochrane, Walker, Simmons and Greenberg. St. Louis Cardinals had men like Daffy Dean and Frankie Frisch. Dizzy Dean, a holdout, trained on the golf course. MIDWEST beer drinkers had a sit-down strike when the price of beer went sky-high - to ten cents! Speaking of the Cup that Cheers - a Baltimore Country Club tried out a portable bar at the 19th hole. Here [illegible]
