Campbell.
Today we find him in the Claren-
don Hotel. Daytona Beach, waiting
for Malcolm Campbell to shoot at a
speed of 800 miles an hour, a mile
in IL tWinkling seconds.
He works alone, for nobody else
understands his job; he walks
alone for his interest is conferred in
his job, and he. alone, knows it.
You never see Porter without his
wooden box. In the box, which is
plastered with labels reading do
not touch" handle with care" and
hands off, please" is the intricate,
delicate, timing machine.
1T is the only one of its kind in
Il the world. And the best, and
most accurate. Built in 1909, it has
been gradually improved until it's
foolproof. 1t has no name. Porter
calls it his box" and let's it go at
that.
Let something happen to him or
to his box. and Campbell might just
as we'll return to England.
Let's make it clearer.
Campbell, shooting for 300, comes
down the beach on his southwark
run at 295 m. p. h. Porter and his
little box catch him. On the re-
turn trip, with the wind to his tail,
Campbell gives Bluebird the gun.
Riding in the cockpit, the motors
and wind singing a song of triumph,
he whips through the measured
mile, knowing new high mark is
his. He finishes. and from the far
end of the beach calls Porter and
asks his speed. And Porter, because
something went wrong with his little
box, doesn't know. Somehow, Camp
bells car crossed without tripping
the wire.
90 Porter, and he sWeats when he
~ thinks of such a moment, must
order Campbell to run again, to ride
out once more and punch it out
with death.
1t is the thought of such an oc-
currence that makes Porter the
most miserable man in Daytona
Beach. Suggest such happening
to him, with look of anguish on
his face, he begs you to quit.
ct happened to me once, you
know" he says. ut was in 1928,
when Ray Keech was trying to
break Canpbell's mark Of 206 and
something. One hundred and three
times Keech made runs under the
record, and I caught him every time.
Then, on the 104th attempt, he went
down at 207. All he needed to do was
to come back at the same speed.
And he had the wind with him.
Back he came, like a comet. And
I missed him. Missed him complete
ly. His tachometer showed he had
broken 210 coming back. Yet he
might just as we'll have not run at
all, for I had missed him. He cried.
But there was nothing I could do. I
told him unless he went out again
for northWard run in 80 minutes,
his southwark run would be can
celed. He went out and established
a new average of 20755."

NEW YORK-(FP)-A citywide
strike on all PWA projects in New

Roosevelt ignores a new request from
the city's organized labor movement
that he grant their demands for trade
union rates on WPA jobs.
So Chairman Thomas Murray of
New York's WPA strike committee
announced after a meeting OF the strike
committee and building trades locals.
All local officials, New York WPA
Administrator Johnson, Governor Leh-
man, WPA Administrator Harry Hop

be appealed to to change their attitude
on the security rate in favor Of union
labor's demand for the prevailing wage,
Murray explained.
But in view Of the fact that WPA
employs only non-unionists even on
skilled jobs. we feel that it has become
necessary to show labor's strength, il
nothing is done by authorities to rem
edy the situation, by removing all our
members from PWA projects which are
100 per cent unionized," he stated.
Questioned on his statement that only
non-unionists are employed on WPA
Murray explained that all union mer
have been taken from their jobs. Mel

Returning Colonists Rap
Matanuska Project

Duluth, Minn.-(FP) ~ q wouldn't
trade five acres of land in Michigan
for the whole Matanuska valley"
So Martin Smith told Federated Press
on his arrival at Duluth with his wife
and seven children, on their way back
to Even, Mich, from the Alaskan i'm
migration project. With him came the
Duffy and Cosineau families from
Michigan also the Splittberger, Fish
er, Saarela, Moses and Holler families
from Minnesota, and Rossiter, a single
man.
I'VE were the victims OF misrepres-
entation by the government" said
Smith. I'VE had been promised homes
with running water and proper con
veniences. Ten homes are now in the
process OF construction and 200 families
must be taken care OF by fall. We were
promised lots of things. We got moth
ling"
AT least 80 per cent OF the ~colonists
would return if they could, Smith de-
clared. Smith had to pay part OF his
return fare, but was given through
tickets after arriving in Seattle.
The land there is impossible to
farm. Frost two feet down leaves the
surface wet all the time. Potatoes
would be large but soft and moist.
Cotton wood, spruce and birch grow
in a heavy mess. 1t would take a year
to clear an acre for cultivation"
Alaskan merchants would not buy
the potatoes, because they must go
through a double drying process be-
fore they will keep. Even hay cannot
be dried on the ground because OF
the dampness.
Smith denied that there were any
farming possibilities. Tomatoes and
cucumbers cannot be grown, it is far
too wet for many other vegetables,
local markets are too small and ship
ping to any distance is out OF the ques-
ton. As an example Of high freight
rates, he quoted the price on a bag
OF potatoes. Though Csc a bag in the
states, they cost $3.50 a bag in Matan-
uska.
Shown an earlier article about their
adventure which was released by the
Federated Press, and asked if he agreed
with the conclusions drawn therein,
Smith replied that the article was "es-
sentially correct"
