SUCCESS SEEN
FOR BLUEBIRD'S
300 M.P. H. TRY
Utah Salt Racing Strip
Ideal for Record Break

BY PAUL PRICE
United Press Staff Correspondent.


Salt Lake City, Utah, July 9
(U.P)-If Sir Malcolm Campbells
Bluebird has a 0-miles-per-hou
speed in it's roaring motors, then
that should be the record set on
the salt flats when the runs are
made near here, according to vet
eran racing drivers.
Those familiar with salt racing
strips minimize the human equa-
ton in a speed run on the fats
Alb Jenkins, veteran racer, is ono
who believes it's up to Bluebird
not Campbell.
eff Bluebird has the stuff" Jen-
kins said, land I understand she
has this trip, Campbell will be able
to breeze along as fast as the car
will travel"
Veteran on Salt Bed Racing
Jenkins understands the prob
lens that the English sportsman
will face when he races at Salduro,
near here, sometime this month.
He has been setting records and
testin sgtocl1 cars on the salt beds
for many years. Jenkins is GER
tain Campbell can open up Blue
bird to the limit, and the record
will go just as high as the giant
cars speed.
''Those salt beds form an ideal
racing strip" Jenkins said. "They
are fast, hard and smooth as a
billiard ball. The surface is sur
prisingly easy on tires-an impor-
tant factor whether you are run

when Campbell went after the
800 mark at Daytona last March"
Jenkins continued, che was handi-
capped in several ways. In the
first place, don't believe Bluebird
had that much speed in her. Even
under top conditions, think 276
miles per hour was her limit.

could get a first class racing strip
along the beach. He also was hav-
ing trouble with his tires.

THREE ALL-STARS

Omitted Press Sta1I Correspondent
Cleveland, July 9. (UP)-Three
heroes shared the baseball lime
liht today as ace players Of the
major leagues returned to their
workaday tasks after the third re-
Inewal oftthe annual all-star game,
won by the American league for
the third straight year.
It was the betty bat Of the third
baseman, Jimmy Foxx, of the
Philadelphia Athletics which ac-
counted for most Of the runs scor-
ed by the American league ag-
gregation in winning, to 1.
Foxx's homer in the very first
inning drove in two runs, and he
singled with the bases loaded in
the fifth to add another.
And it was the peerless pitching
of Vernon Gomez of the Yankees
and Mel Harder of the Indians
which protected that lead after
Foxx provided it. They stood up
bravely before the mightiest slug
gers the National league could pro-
duce and handed out only four hits,
two of which came in the fourth
inning when the Nationals scored
their lone run.
In every department Of play
pitching, batting and fielding-the
American league team stood head
and shoulders above their rivals of
the senior circuit. They deserved
to win, and by just about the mar
gin indicated in the final score.
Eevery run was well-earned.
The. American league pitchers not
only gave up fever hits than the
opposing pitchers, but they were
more effective in the pinches. as
witness the first inning when
Gomez struck out Medwio4 to leave
Pepper Martin stranded on third
base.

FIGURES ON AVIATION
PROVE INTERESTING
Reports Show 100000,
900 Invested in Industry.

It is interesting to note the many
figures on aviation which come
through the mail today.
For instance, a report of the De-
partment of Commerce showed that
over $1OO,OOlOOO is invested in the
air industry today
1t is little wonder the youth of
America is now beginning to turn
it's attention to aviation, as a fu-
ture career and a means of liveli-
hood.
A glance at some pictures of the
planes used in the World War and
planes of today show that oppor-
tunities now at hand were conSid-
cred hazards 20 years ago.
The way has been opened. Avia-
ton is no longer a faraWay danger
Gus adventure only for the venture
some spirit. In the country today
there are over 200 flying schools OPP
Grated by private individuals and
corporations. There are also the
Army, Navy and Marine training
schools of the government.
Col. Lindbergh learned to fly in
the Army school. And many other
pilots of today who are now en-
ployed by commercial aviation COM
panies got the same start.
The Army course takes about 10
months, after which the graduate
is a thoroughly trained flier, able
to handle any type plane. The
courses at privately operated schools
are of shorter duration.
In addition, courses in the funda-
mentals of aeronauticS are given at
many leading universities today.
The youth of today lacks no OPP
portunity to learn to fly. After
which he may operate his own plane
for profit, or start a business of his
own. He may get a job as trans
port pilot carrying mail, passengers
or freight. He may enter the army
or nNavy air service. He may be-
come a "stunt flier." There are
nearly 100 air advertising concerns
in the country today and nearly 500
concerns operating a taxi and
special passenger and freight serv-
ice not on scheduled routes.

Despite this, the government can

fetal told the United Press it was
impossible officially to estimate the

is said, has already reached 100000.
Although the government can not
draw from the fund, the quintuplets'
parents have that right through

Exactly what form this would take

is understood one of the first steps
will be to assure an adequate educa-
