Ouster evidence deemed not competent by Rhode Island Supreme Court
Rhode Island Supreme Court ruled today that the Rhode Island Racing Commission lacked legally competent evidence to oust Walter E. O'Hara as president and managing director of the Narragansett Racing Association. The full opinion, signed by all five justices, noted the commission must show substantial grounds with proper notice of rule changes and held that the cited threats against steward James B. Doorley were personal and unrelated to his duties. Governors and officials cited ongoing betting losses at Narragansett Park, but the court did not tie these to official misconduct.

Warfare and China Face New Violent Change Says Mackenzie
AP foreign affairs writer Dewitt Mackenzie argues that ongoing Japanese China warfare portends a fresh violent shift in China’s history. If Japan wins, conquest could redraw the eastern seaboard and connect to Manchuria under the Mikado. If China wins with communist aid, the Dragon throne could align with the Soviet Union, forcing Chiang Kai-shek to navigate a perilous dilemma.
