complete mastery of himself, direc-

Stiff and Sore, He HieS
Early to Speedway to

A blue.eyed young man stood over
car No. 80 at the Indianapolis Speed
way today, looked down into the tiny
engine, and smiled.
"Old girl" he said, you're some
boat for taking punishment"
And there you have the philosophy
which governs George souders when
he taken No. 30 into competition for
Speedway prizes.
Still stiff and sore from his gruel-
ling achievement OF Memorial day
when he won the annual Indian
apolis Motor Speedway race by out
driving, outmaneuvering and out
distancing some thirty-two other
drivers, Souders was at the track
early this morning.

feels suddenly to step into the elite
circle Of racing drivers.

it through my head that it's all true.
I've dreamed about winning this race
I guess every driver does-but 1
wasn't looking to win one so soon
George still reminds one very
much of a college boy. He's only
2e now. Out Of Purdue for five
years he's stiIl too collegiate to wear
a hat. clinging religiously to a cap.
His pants are of the college variety.
His tie-woll, 1t has plenty OF color
He doesn't know exactly why he's
a race driver-except that i've had
a hankering to be one ever since I've
been big enough to drive an automo-
bile.
Down in Lafayette" he said,
"where l live. used to be thinking
about automobiles when the rest of
the boys were playing baseball.
Went through high school with
thoughts like that. When 1 got into
college, couldn't seem to get settled
into studies. Always was thinking
about speed. Got through two years
at Purdue and then decided it was
about time to do some of this driv-
ing I'd been dreaming about" ......

He likes French pastry well

AS boy he played with the other

experiments in the laboratories but
disliked to write UP his notes, so he

NO PLACE.IN POLITICS
GiIIiom Warns Churches
Against Influencing Votes.

Churches tend to destroy religious
freedom itself when they mix in
politics, Attorney Arthur l.. Gilliom
told delegates to the eighty-ninth
annual conference of the African
Methodist Episcopal Church, adj
dressing them Wednesday night at
Bethel Church, Toledo and YER
mont SITS.
1.-The work of the church is done
when it has taught the people re-
ligion," he asserted. 1.-THE political
ization of churches for the purpose
of directly influencing the course OF
State elections by voting church
sentiments rather than citizenship
Judgment is not only violative Of
the principle of separation of
church and State, but it inevitably
tends to destroy religious freedom
itself"

address, commended Negroes on
