NEWBERRY CO. Dragone Raps Racing AtBarringtonFair; lowers Moral Tone' The six days of horse racing at the Harrington fair and the betting of $2,200,000 on the races through the pari-mutuel windows caused heavy economic loss and lowered the moral and spiritual tone of Great Barringotrt, a Pittsfield political figure charged last night. Joseph R. Dragone, candidate for mayor in that city, declared thai the racing at the fair was "just as pernicious" as that at a commercial track and that if he were elected he would oppose the estab- ishmenf of any more racing anywhere near Pittsfield. Last year the county, in a special referendum, outlawed commercial horse or dog track betting in Berkshire but approved it for fairs.

Dragone said he could see no difference be- the two. "This (the betting at the fair) no bargain for the people, Draone said. Out of all the window commissions, the state will get a more than $100,000, while the track grosses as its share of the betting about 5275,000. Consider, the belting that welfare de- jartments will get in the next several months, the loss in time, especially at the General Electric, where hundreds stayed out of work sometime during the week, and the slow-paying by installment buyers and you have a slight idea of some of the perniciousness of a near-by race track. Add to these economic 'actors the influx of parasitic hangers-on who lower the moral and 'itual tone of the county community and you have an even more degrading picture." 3.

Among the 113 guests at the affair, held at the Hotel Wendell Sherwood in Pittsfield, were five members of the state Supreme court bench and former Gov. Joseph B.

Ely. State Chief Justice Stanley Qua recalled the treason trial against Aaron Burr and cited Judge Marshall's power to decide the case without bending to tremendous public pressure. He called on all judges to adhere the spirit which Marshall expressed in acquitting Burr: "That this court does not usurp power is most true. That this court dares not shirk from its duty is not less true." Former Gov. Ely, who appointed the present chief justice in 1934, called Justice Marshall a man "willing to espouse unpopular causes." He praised Marshall for establishing the principle that Congressional laws can be declared unconstitutional and said that justices of the court must have the poise to preserve the foundation on which our democracy depends when the majority of the moment goes too far.

Francis J. Quirico of Pittsfield, president of the Bar association, presided at the meeting. James Rosenthal of Pittsfield was chairman of the bicentennial celebration in the county. Among those seated at the head table were Judge John E. Magenis of the North Adams district court and Judge F.

Anthony Hanlon of Berkshire Probate court in Pittsfield.

He said he beieved such penalties would be unconstitutional.
