Bx HENRY McLEMoRE

Daytona Beach, Fla, March H. (UP)-Fellow men of the roaring road tell him no: engineers tell him no. So do those scientists to whom Sueed is something to be accom- plished with pencil and paper, and his friends tell him no.
 But they waste their breath, for Malcolm Campbell says yes; says yes. Three hundred miles an hour in an automobile is possible, and that he is going to do it,
 The man spread out his cards, showed his hand, yesterday, for the first time since he first dreamed of a land speed that would rocket him across the surface of the earth at a mile in 12 seconds. It came about when English friends cabled him, begging that he be satisfied with his mark of 276.816 miles an hour. and to abandon any plans of shooting for a higher record.
 We were with Campbell when be was handed the cable. He read it., and re-read it, that message from old friends begging him not to sac rifice his life in search of the un- attainable.
 "Rest on your laurels," it said, ''before calamity overtakes you. We do not want to lose 8 friend, and England does not want to lose gallant sportsman"
 Mice of the old boys to send that, wasn't it?" he asked. "Thcy mean 1t too. Yes, damn nice of them.'
 The little Briton leaned back in his chair, and sat there, not say ing a word. You could read his mind:
 Reasoning
 "I'm fifty, today $. I've got most of the things man aims for "a home, a family, security =. I cant go on living on borrowed time forever z. sometime speed, with death at the wheel is going to catch up with me :. :. It nearly caught up with me last Thursday :. God, thought was gone when Bluebird slithered off in the soft sands It's not fair to Dolly--nor to Jean nor Donald I've been at 1t a long time. Year after year :. maybe I should chuck 1t ."
 He read the cable again. An other 10 minutes of quiet then:
 .'Lasten old fellow, want to ride with me over to the cable office? I've got little message want to send"
 As you rode down Daytona's streets you hoped his answer would be yes--that he was through with throwing deaths loaded dice. Yet, even as you hoped, you knew he wouldn't. You knew somehow, that the next few days would see him, wearing the same golf suit he wore to sink the putt on the 18th that cost you $3 out there giving Bluebird the gun.
 And you were right, too, for he showed you the message he sent to England and it said, in effect, that T, Malcolm Campbell, appreciate your thinking of me, but have set c task for myself--a goal--and I must not let myself nor cid Blue- bird down, but must take her out once more and, pointing her head down the shining sands, give her the chance she wants" And--somehow--you were glad that's what he sent.

 The red and white clad Park City combine had the fans talking after the opening whistle. They passed, shot and dribbled like a pro team and made the Capital City aggregation, a more experi- enced outfit, look like the last roses of summer.
 "Red" Barry, strapping pivot man, was the keyman of the plucky Bfidgeporters. Besides starting all plays from the circle, Red" took the ball time and time again from the Hartford backboards to regain the sphere for his mates. Then too, Red" showed plenty of scoring attack netting four field goals and a complimentary award although he might have scored twioe that number had he pre- ferred shooting himself instead of feeding his mateS

 s. Hearts Win Title

Playing against Q very much weakened 1rish-American club, the Brooklyn A. c. basketball squad carried off the 1934-35 City Anna teur (excuse, please!) league cham pionship yesterday afternoon at the Central YMCA by a score of 40 to 24. Players and management of the winning team were more than Q little disappointed that their op- ponents were unable to put their best team on the floor, which, however, was quite impossible und- CT existing conditions.
 Missing Men
 Norman Johnson, Eddie Stew ems, and Frank Balinsky, a trio of the Irish-American's top talent did not play, while Dick Tuckey entered the game with but four minutes of the third period re- maining. As a game, the action was fair, though the Brooklyn club led all the way, Jimmy Crich- ton scoring 13 points, Boley g. Huey z, Santopietro and Swasey 5 and the latter also contributing a great defensive exhibition that broke up more than dozen we'll intended IA passes. Cornell, Tuck ey and Tracy did most of the work for the Irish-Americans. Johnson and Stevens were unable to play, due to illness and injury, while Balinsky was unable to agree with the management.

TENTATIVE SITES
 FOR CAMPS GIVEN
Six New CCC Units to Be Organized, Four for
 Gypsy Moth Control

Announcement of tentative loca- tions for the six new Civilian Con- servation Corps camps for which this state has applied with federal authrities has been made by State Forester Austin r. Hawes. Four Of the camps will be primarily for gypsy moth control and it is planned to locate these camps in Somers. One of the other two camps will be established primar- fly for the control of the Dutch Elm disease, and will be located in Fairfield county. The sixth camp will be in the newly acquired Sal mon River State Forest.
 Camp superintendents will be se- leeted by promotion from the su- pervisory personnel of the present camps in line with the established policy, 1t was announced. Estab- iishment Of hfecamps Is depend- ent upon their allotment to this state by federal authorities who are awaiting action on the relief bill now before Congress.

 Whether his expressed hope of
 eliminating the rice-fixing, pro-

 of MIRA will be fulfilled depends,
 assuming he gets the Legislation l he wants, on the character of sub 1 sequent administration. The administration already is

other depression factor-described by Secretary Wallace as a legal ized thievery-probably working more harm to the people of the United States than all other forms of robbery put together"-which has gone uncorrected?
 TAXES EXPECTED TO RISE
 The national debt will continue to rise for at least the next two years and it's worth noting that Governor Mariner Eccles, new head of the Federal Reserve Board, is one of those who think it could go above $40,O00, 100000 without impairing the federal credit.
 Liberal New Dealers generally feel that the day of higher in- come taxes, especially in the high CT brackets; is inevitable. They don't expect Roosevelt to make any move that way until after elec- tion, when he probably will present proposal for scientific taxation in which federal and state leyies will be co-ordinated.
 Of course, if the "share-the- wealth" boys become too articulatc and numerous in the meantime, some prediction tax move may be necessary.
 The current state of low morale in Washington probably is only temporary. You may remember that the administration seemed in bad way in the fall of 1883.
