ITALIAN RAILWAYS
FACE COMPETITION
Duce Deliberately Planning
Motor Fleets to Speed
Transportation.
3y the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
GENOA. Italy, June 16.-Seeking i'm
provement of transportation facilities,
Premier Mussolini Is deliberately pre-
pairing the most serious competition his
state railways ever have had to face.
For he is going to try out the auto
mobile on a scale never attempted in
Italy. and if the system works well fleets
of motor trains one day viii be serving
the entire northwest section OF the
country carrying freight and p1ssen-
gers to and from this port city.
Mountains TO Be Crossed.
Then it will be a case of nip and
tuck, and if predictions of Senator Eu-
genio Broccardi are borne out. the auto
service will prove no mean adversary.
The lines will run over the Appen-
mines into Lombardy and Piedmont.
traversing rich agricultural regions and
connecting up the important industrial
cities of Milan ard Turin.
A type of train that eventually may
be used for the service is projected by
the Fiat works. 1t will be capable of
transporting 80 tons of merchandise
at an average speed OF 25 miles an hour.
Separate trains would be used for pas
SengerS.
Big Advantage Seen.
The service Will be initiated, how
ever with single tru-ks. which are oX
pected tc be able to carry freight a.
considerably less than the railroad !ates
and afford safe comfortable and eco
noplical passenger transportation.
Other advantages claimed for the au-
tonobile service over the railroads are
olaAticity of time schedules, elimination
Of the necessity for shifting freight from
truck to train and vice versa, and in
creased speed in delivery, important, es-
pceially for periShable merchandise.

CAMPBELL SEEKS
NEW SPEED MARKS
Hopes to Set Six Records and
Possibly "a at Daytona
Beach.
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
DAYTONA BEACH, Fla, February
ia grand slam in world records
may be essayed here by Sir Malcolm
Campbell of England in his forthcom-
ing automobile speed trials.
The intrepid 47-year-old driver,
who has been rolling race cars down
the road for years, hopes to set six
new records and possibly "a.
Primarily, he is here to raise his
present mark of 245.773 miles per hour
over the 1-mile route and 2460S6 over
the kilometer, as son as beach and
weather conditions permit.
Conditions Are Factor.
II successful in those Attempts, there
is a possibility he also will seek new
records for kilometers, miles, 10
kilometers and 10 miles. Whether he
goes after the other marks, however,
is problematical.
Il would like best in the world to
set new records for those distances, "
the British driver declared. There Is
nothing definite, however, regarding my
plans, and I will have to wait and see
what conditions are when I go for the
mile and the kilometer.
THE whole thing depends on the
condition of the beach and whether I
find it long enough to try for records
for distances up to 10 miles. The big
gest concern is whether I will be able
to pull up to stop, even on the pres
ent course, which has been heightened
to IL miles,
Total of "a Records.
Should Campbell decide to try for
the new records for six distances from
one kilometer to 10 miles, and be sue
cessful, they would become six new
international marks for cars of un-
limited piston displacement automatic
ally They also would become new
American records for unlimited dis
international records for
class A cars with piston displacement
of 488 cubic inches and above, and
American records for that class, making
a total of "a records.
Campbell had planned to take his
Bluebird car onto the beach today to
permit cameramen to photograph 1t, but
was prevented from doing so by threats
of rain. He expects to have it on the
beach tomorrow.
Whether he will make practice run
then depends entirely on the condition
of the beach. If It is favorable, he
probably will make a short run to test
out the motor and determine whether
the car is in general ShipShape.

Slicing the Budget

President Graham and his adj
visers are now engaged in slicing
the University's budget.
Heads of departments are be-
ing called in, one by one, to be
told that their estimates, which
they put in a few weeks ago,
must be reduced. These esti-
mates were already low, COM
pared with those of previous
years, but they must be made
still lower because of the decline
in the University's income. This
decline is due in large part to
the falling off in the income
from student fees and dormitory
rentals.
When the departmental sched-
ules are all in, they will be COM
bined in a consolidated budget,
and this will be submitted to the
state budget bureau in Raleigh.

Old Timers Saddened to Find Virginia Game
No Longer Regarded as Seasons Big Event

TO the old alumni of the Uni
versity of North Carolina-and,
in the sense in which | am now
using the term, ''old alumni"
means all who were students be-
fore the World War - the
Thanksgiving Day football game
with the University of Virginia
has always been, and remains
the game of the season. 1t sad
dens them to find that, in the
minds Of the younger generation,
the Virginia game is playing
second fiddle to the Duke game.
There has come to be a SINH
lar situation in Charlottesville.
The University of Virginia stu
dents Of these days appear to
take a keener interest in their
annual combat with Washington
and Lee than in the one with
Carolina.
The universities of Virginia
and North Carolina, mOre's the
pity, do not have much contact
with each other. They move in
separate orbits.
Carolina and Duke are near
neighbors from one end Of the
year to the other. The students
of the two institutions mingle to-
gether in their home commune
ties, and go to the same beaches
and the same mountains during
