France Bids for Speed Honors.

Another nation has entered the race
for automobile speed honors. Since the
United States bowed itself gracefully
out of the picture when the late Sir
Henry Segrave pushed the worlds rec
ord up to two hundred and thirty-one
miles an hour there has been no COM
petition for the English, except from
an Englishman, Sir Malcolm Campbell,
who proceeded in two successive visits
10 Daytona, Fla, to break the record
established by his countryman. Two
years ago Sir Malcolm burned up the
sands OF the long. smooth beach at a
speed of two hundred and forty-five
miles an hour, while only last month
on his second excursion to the United
States, he set the all-time mark at two
hundred and fifty-three miles an hour
But now France has decided that Sil
Malcolm's latest mark is worthy of hel
attention and plans are now under
way to build car which will put al
previous speedsters to shame.
Specifications have already been an.
nounced and if they are adhered to il
should be q remarkable creation, capa
BILE Of a meteorlike pace. This French
creation will be thirty feet long.
viii weigh approximately two and one
half tons. 1t will have three eight
Anndkd-horsepower motors. with al
Evening star., 1932-03-27

extra motor Of sixty horsepower to get
the big ones into operation. Lastly, its
theoretical speed has been computed
as at three hundred and sixty miles an
hour.
In races for world supremacy, like
most other things, the more the mer-
rier, and if the French can outstrir
the British the only pity Of it is that
America cannot outstrip them both
The British have reached unprece-
dented speed on land and in the air
the seaplane record which they now
hold at four hundred and eight miles
an hour being approximately the speed
Of bullet from a gun. The pace OF
an automobile, of course, is measured
by the resistance of the tires, and in
order to reach the estimated capacity
of the new French machine 1t will be
necessary to work out an entire new
scheme for tire fabric Sir Malcolm S
tires, which were good only for run
each way on the nine e-mile course at
Daytona, were made almost completely
with canvas, which was the first de-
parture from the conventional rubber
shoe. The trials of Frances latest bid
for honors will be watched with inter-
est throughout the entire world.

on the strength Of improvements to
property resulting from subway exten-
sion, but rents and revenues have re-
fused to keep pace with the upward
trend of the assessments. The reten-
ton of the nickel fare has been a
feather in the cap of the politicians,
but fly in the ointment of the tax
payers who have contributed their tens
of millions to make it possible. A few
tricks with pencil and figures have
convinced the taxpayers of what a SIM
pie thing it would be to put the sub
ways on self-sustaining basis, thus
relieving the general taxpayer of the
drain that has been levied in the name
Of the five-cent fare. The only thing
that stands in the way is a transit
policy adopted by the municipality in
boom times and which must either be
retained now in the face of depression
or repudiated openly and honestly. Such
reputation is not commonly identified
with political factions.
New York's present financial prob
lem, which is no problem at all in
comparison with those faced by many
other municipalities, is symbolic of the
sudden and live interest that taxpayers
the Nation over are taking in what is
done with their money. Such interest
Is stimulated only when pocketbooks are
pinched. Taxpayers curiosity-an un-
known quantity in boom times-may be
the silver lining to this dark cloud of
depression.

Events of Week in Washington and
Elsewhere Strengthened Roosevelt

and one, Mr.. Garner, has lost ground.
The events are that Senator Alben
w. Barkley, who was expected to get
hentucky'S vote as a favorite son, de-
clared for Roosevelt and the leaders of
MS State announced they were for the
New Yorker. A delegation of Connec-
tlcut leaders called on the Governor in
Albany and informed him their State
would be for him. Guy T Helvering.
Kansas State chairman, and George A.
Collins. national committeeman of Col
orado, also gave personal assurances to
Roosevelt that their States we're for him
and would give him their votes on the
first ballot.
There are now 81 delegates actually
instructed for Roosevelt The only
other delegates instructed are Okla
homa's "a for Gov. Murray. Louisi-
ana's 20 are uninstructed. None of the
other candidates has recorded a gain in
the States this week.
The ensuing week brings another i'm
portant test for Mr.. Roosevelt. He
seeks Names II votes in another con-
test with a strong faction favorable to
Alfred E. Smith and is making special
endeavor to get an instructed Iowa
delegation. Both States will take their
stand on Tuesday. Missouri also de-
clares on that date. There are strong
elements in Iowa favoring Smith ana
Gov. Murray
Many of the IowanS wish to follow
the advice of Jouett Shouse. national
executive chairman, for uninstructed
delegates. But the Roosevelt managers
are determined to get Iowas 26 votes
on record now, both because of the act
ual gain in votes and for the psyche
logical effect of having that strong
agrarian State come out for him. Miss
ouri is expected to instruct for Senator
James A. Reed, but the Roosevelt man.
ayers will try to get a second-choice
declaration for the State convention.
