secretary Of the American Automobile
Association. this morning, Il have Just
returned from Indianapolis" continued
Mr.. Elliott, where I went in the hope
that they had solved. as they claimed
they had, the problem OF holding speed
races with danger OF fatalities reduced to
a minimum. Instead OF being better Il
was worse. The inevitable result Will
be that the executive committee OF the
American Automobile Association will
formulate rules for the management Of
these contests in the future and contests
in the future will be conducted on sane
lines. They are crazy now"
