REDS TO BUILD
NEW AIR GIANTS
Three Super-PIan Planned
to Replace Shattered
Maxim Gorky.
By United Press

By United Press
MOSCOW, May 2O.-Soviet Russia
made of its greatest air tragedy to-
day an exhortation to greater avia-
ton efficiency and more rigid dis
cipline. 1t was announced that in
place of the great eight-motored
airplane Maxim Cork, which
crashed yesterday with the loss of
40 lives, three identical planes will
be built.
1t was made evident also that the
crash, caused when pursuit plane
pilot, stunning" against strict
orders, crashed into the Cork and
sent it, disintegrs ting, to the earth,
would be made an example to all
aviators, military and civil and that
the result would be an intensified
ton of the iron discipline of the
Communist regime.
Bodies of the Maxim Cork vic
tins we're placed in red collins in
the Moscow crematorium. The re-
mains will be cremated tonight in
the presence of relatives and friends
and Representatives of the govern
ment which accorded the victims
state funerals.
The three new planes will be
named for Vladimir Lenin, Josef
Stain and Cork, an official de-
cree said.

him down to definite facts and fig

WOOL. England, May 20.-Law-
renee of Arabia, one of those hg-
ures whom fate plUcks from the
crowd of their fellow-men to make
history, lay a shattered corpse IN
the small chapel IF Wool Military
Hospital today. .
AS an archaeological student OF
26 it fell to him to organize the
unruly Arab tribes against Turkey
in the World War, and win tor
CIreat Britain and its allies a great
area of the Near East.
He died yesterday after being UNI
conscious six days from terrible in
iuries he suffered when, racing
motorcycle along a country road.
He swerved to avoid killing two
bicycling boys.
There was widespread mourning
for him throughout England. He
was remembered as Col. T. E. Law
rance, his original name under
which he organized the Arabs. AS
T. E. Shaw, disdaining the proffered
rewards of the government for his
services, he enlisted as a mechanic
in the Royal Air Force.
The best surgeons the govern
ment could provide did all they
could to save him. For six days
they hoped his super constitution,
IN a short, slim frame might save
him.
In keeping with Lawrence's re-
firing disposition, it was decided
that there should be no military
display and that only few init
mate friends should attend the fu-
neral.
In an effort to mitigate the sor-
row over LaWrence's death 1t was
announced that even had he lived,
so severely was his brain lacerated,
he could have regained only par
tial use of speech and sight.

PILOTS
FLAGGED IN BY
WEATHER MAN
Hope for Break in Rain to
Resume Qualifying
Tests Today.
BY VERN BOXELL
Times STAFF Write.

Garage-bound by a steady 0rizzle,
Speedway chauffeurs cast anxious
eyes skyward this afternoon, hoping
the sun would break through, dry
out the bricks and permit resump-
ton of qualification trials for the
500-mile race May 30.
Cheated of one qualifying day by
the weather man, six or more driv-
ers we're ready to break loose this
afternoon if the downpour stopped.
If today's tests are delayed, the
course will be opened at noon to-
morrow, T. E. (Pop) Myers, Speed
way general manager, announced.
Only one day of trials will be held
before Saturday. with the remain
der of the field to be filled the four
final days starting Saturday.
Eleven of the 80 places in the
Decoration Day starting field are
filled. Nine pilots whirled their
chargers around the two-and-one-
half-mile oval Saturday, and two
more raced through the dusk late
yesterday to pass speed and fuel
tests.
Three of the drivers eager to test
their mounts as soon as the rain
let's up were victims of ill-luck Sat-
urday.
Three Ready to Go
They are Kelly Petillo. who
shattered two qualification records
Saturday only to be eliminated
when he failed to stay within the
three gallon -one-pint fuel limit; Lou
Moore, veteran finisher who was
knocked off on the seventh lap with
a broken ring gear on his rear axle
while speeding at 116 miles an hour,
and Shorty Canton, Detroit flash,
who ran nine of the 10 laps at 1T
miles an hour before forced out.
Showers kept cars off the track
yesterday until after 5, Mauri Rose
in the Four Wheel Drive Special was
the first to take the test. After two
fast laps, he was tagged down with
the new signal lights installed this
year when his drain pan dropped.
Following hasty repairs, he took off
again and finished the trip at 116470
miles an hour.
At GAO, 20 minutes before closing
time, Russell Snowberger started his
10 laps. In semi-darkpess he roared
into the treacherous curves end
finished with a ia zoo average, join
ing his team-maCe on the Boyle
Products squad, Bill Cummings, in
the starting lineup.
Petillo Ride Sensational
Petillo's wild ride Saturday was
one of the most sensational in his
tory. Eight of the 10 trips were
clicked off at better than 121 miles
an hour. and his fourth lap, at a
122416-clip shattered the two and
one-half mile record he set last
year. He finished with a 121687,
the fastest 25 miles ever Travelled on
the Speedway by a non-super-
charged. two-seater car. The for
mer mark, set by Petillo in 1884, was
1899.
Rex Mays, 22-year-old coast dare
devil. previously had broken the
record with a 120.736 performance,
and with the disqualification Of Pc
tilIo, was awarded the coveted No. i
spot in the starting lineup.
Others who qualified Saturday
were Al Gordon, Floyd Roberts,
Lou Meyer, Bill Cummings, Tony
Gulotta. Ralph Hepburn, Fred
Frame and Chef Gardner. Cum
mings in 1884. Meyer in 1923 and
1888 and Frame in 1882 are former
winners.
