of driving as he circled the giant

Experts Like "Duesies"
Close followers of the race classic
lean with favor toward the Duesen-
berg entries. Four of the nations
finest drivers will pilot cars built
at the local factory and experts feel
confident that one of the quartet
will finish the race, perhaps in first
place.
Peter De Paolo, famous nephew
of the even more famous Ralph De
Palma, has two Duesenbergs en-
tered, one to be driven by himself
and the other by Cummings. Litz
and Stapp will pilot the other
Duesies. De Paolo still holds the
record for the 5o0-mile race which
he established in 1925 at 101.13 miles
an hour.
The Duesenbergs are sturdy ma
chimes, capable of high speeds and
built for the gruelling toll of the
bumps and jolts of the big two-and-
one-hslf mile track.
Ever since 1925, dark horses"
have flashed through into victory
and fame, and race followers feel
that this may be the year for
veteran to garner the coveted
laurels.
Year for Veterans
In 1926, Frank Lockhart, an I'M
known exercise boy from Los An
geles took Pete Kreis' car when
KreiS became i'll and drove it TO
triumph in race curtailed at 400
miles, because of rain. In 1927,
George Souders of Lafayette, Ind.
unknown to big league racing cir
cles, drove a Duesenberg to victory
in gruelling dash.
In 1923, it was Louis Meyer, also
an unknown youth, who catapulted
himself into fame, and in 1929 it
was Ray Keech, famous as a speed
star, but not considered a likely
winner. 1t WIS Keech's second start
in the race and his car was not be-
lieved capable of winning. Keech's
magnificent driving won him the
plaudits of millions.
Keech and Lockhart both have
been killed since, Souders has retired
from racing and Meyer will drive
in Fridays classic
Weather bureau officials today
announced that Friday will be cool
and clear, with temperatures
slightly above those of today. The
forecast indicates the mercury will
hover about the IS mark, five de-
z eeS below seasonal normal.

The Glider Trip.

The first aerial train has made its way
successfully across the United States.
In one weeks elapsed time and slightly
more than thirty-siX hours flying time
Capt. Frank Hawks, the noted aviator,
was towed from San Diego to New
York in his inclosed glider, the Eaglet.
Twenty stops were made en- route, Capt.
Hawks cutting himself loose from his
towing plane and gliding to landing.
Only one accident marred the trip. The
five-hundred-foot cable between the air.
plane and the glider parted and both
ships were forced to make an immediate
descent, but the damage was soon re-
paired and the flight was completed on
schedule.
Although little of scientific value has
been learned from the transcontinental
gliding experiment, it has unquestion-
ably stimulated interest in flights of
motorless planes, and anything that
promotes airrnindedness is of impor-
lance. So the trip of the first air train
must be regarded solely as a contribu-
ton to the project of selling the public
on flying.

William P. G.. Harding,

The death of William P. G. Harding
at Boston today removes one of the
survivors and organizers of the Fed
eral Reserve Board, still up to the time
of his mortal illness an active member
of the system. Mr.. Harding, who had
acquired distinction as banker in the
South, was one of the first appointees
to the board and after two years Of
membership was named governor, which
position he held until in 1928 he was
transferred to be the governor of the
Federal Reserve Bank at Boston, post
he occupied at his death. Much of the
success of the Federal Reserve system
is due to the services of this man, who
began his career at the age of eighteen.
and from a clerkship in private bank
in Alabama worked his way to the
presidency of one of the largest national
banks in the South, the First National
of Birmingham. His outstanding ability
led to his selection in 1914 as member
of the first Reserve Board, and he de-
voted the remainder Of his life to that

per-trying, and In the worst Of condi-
lions. There can be only praise for the
trafac officers who handled this stu
alton.
A few years hence conditions will be
very much improved in this city in re-
spect to the managing of vehicular
trafac at times of great congestion
The public structures now in course Of
erection and somewhat obstructing the
streets will have been completed. New
lines of travel will be opened to and
through the places Of public interest.
The congestion points, evidenced now
by occasional trafic crowds, will have
been corrected. Washington will be
then able to handle an immense multi
tude with a minimum of friction and
confusion and delay. AS 1t is. being
now in a state of reconstruction as it
were, it is doing very well indeed when
with no warning it is visited by tens OF
thousands for few hours.

The LadWin Renort.

A good deal has been made Of the
fact that the National Capital Park and
Planning Commission suppressed" the
minority report of the former chairman
of the commission and chief of Engi-
neers, Gen. Jadwin, on the park-power
development at Great Falls.
Suppression connotes willful con-
cealment of facts that should come out.
Even a hint of such tactics In matter
that concerns the public interest and
by body that is set up only to serve
the public interest should be run to
earth and all the facts made available.
AS the matter stands, this is appar-
emily what happened: The National
Capital Park and Planning Commission
last August sent forward its report on
the Great Falls development to the Fed
eral Power Commission. Attached to
the report was the minority report Of
its chairman, Gen. Jadwin. When the
reports became available both were
given due prominence in the press. Last
January the National Rivers and Har-
bors Congress circulated the Jadwin
report among its clientele.
In its laIt annual report the National
Capital Park and Planning Commits
sion again printed its views on the park
project, but did not include the minor
ity views of Gen. Jadwin. This may
have been bad Judgment, for it is I'M
wise in any controversy to minimize
the other side Of the story, or 1t may
have been due to the fact that the
author of the minority report was no
longer a member of the park and plan
ming commission and had been retired
from the Army.
Subsequently Maj. Brehon Somervell,
the representative in this district of the
chief of Engineers, has explained Gen.
Jadwin's views, in which he concurs.
The National Capital Park and
Planning Commission and Representa-
tive Cramton both may have erred in
not presenting In full the views OF
Gen. Jadwin. even though they may
not be strictly germane to the park
bill. They are not to be feared. They
are the intelligent views of an intelli-
gent man. But the charge of sup
preston" is hardly borne out by the
facts. Any suspicion that may have
been engendered by these charges
should be removed by knowledge Of the
fact that the Jadwin report is as avail
able now as it was last August. ANY
one interested may obtain it.
