SECRAVE WANTS TO co FASTER
Not Satisfied With 23Niile-an-llour Record. He Says
Describing Thrills of Run Along Daytona Beach.

White beat his yesterdays record during
the present meet.
My excitement was at the highest
pitch when / gripped the steering
Wheel" Segrave continued. MY biggest
problem was to keep the car steered
straight l had about the same feeling
as / had two years ago when I ran to
the record of 203 miles an hour, when
the same thing was true.
THE greatest credit of this race GOES
to Capt. Irving
Maj. Segrave said he did not think
the record he set could be set much
higher on the beach mere, because of
the poor visibility caused by mist which
was kicked up by the surf and the
shortness of the course. He said his
visibility yesterday was only about
three quarters of a mile.
Segrave said the reason he ran
through so much water was because he
found the sand harder nearer the surf
than higher up on the beach.
Maj. Segrave said that he probably
would have made faster time had his
mechanicians not talked me out of"
putting discs over the racers wheels.
The mechanicianS, he said, feared the
effect Of sudden gust of side wind on
the discs at high speed.
The perfect construction Of my car
is GtteSted to by the fact that several
times / struck bad bumps near the
middle of the mile course, which caused
my car to leave the ground and hurtle
through the air 80 or 40 feet before
came back down on the course. The
steering apparatus worked perfectly and
at no time was in danger" he said.

BYRD NAMES AREA 4
AFTER CAPT. SCOTT.
British Polar Explorer Is
Honored by Leader of
U. S. Expedition.
BY RUSSELL OWEN.

By Wireless to The Star and the New York
Times.
LITTLE AMERICA, Antarctica.
March 12.-Comdr Byrd has named
part of the region recently explored by
him after Capt. Robert Falcon Scott,
famous British explorer. who con-
tributed SO greatly to the knowledge of
this continent and who died on his re-
turn from the South Pole. He rests
with his companions on the other side
of this barrier on which the Byrd party
is living.
Land and latitude 5000 south and
the eastern boundary OF the Ross De-
tendency.
Mountains Included.
This area included the large noun
tains discovered by Comdr. Byrd and
is undoubtedly true land OVERLAND with
n cap of ice and snow. A great area,
worthy of the man whose name it bears.
II have given SCOTS name to this
land and hope it will be approved by
the proper authorities said Comdr.
Byrd today in talking of his famous
predecessor in Antarctica. 1T is too
bad that the Nunataks Of King Edward
Land should be the only things to bear
the name Of that gallant man"
King Edward Land Underlined.
The limits OF King Edward Land
have never been defined. inaSmuch as
the only persons to set foot there be-
fore the Byrd expedition were three
members of Amundsens expedition,
who made a trip to the Nunataks. Inc
region was discovered and named by
Scott on his first voyage in the dis
covery, but he did not land there be-
cause he did not at that time believe
conditions would permit them to do so.
On the charts King Edward Land has
been recognized as the region near the
coast and including the Scott Nunataks,
so it seems fitting that his name should
be given to the large area to the south
OF King Edward Land up to Amund-
sens appearance OF land" the begin
nings of which were first seen by him.
Byrd Admirer of Scott.
There are many regions on the coast
of Antarctica and near each other
which bear different names. such as
Adele Land. King George Land and
Oates Land.
Comdr. Byrd is sure, as result of his
flights, that land begins just to the
east of the Bay of Whales, whether or
not it is under the southern limits Of
the bay in the form of islands.
Comdr Byrd has always been great
admirer Of Scott.
