Globe Cirdler Hopes to Start
Flight Again in Few Days;
Flew Only 125 Miles

daunted by the failure Of his first
attempt to fly the sub-stratosphere
from Los Angeles to New York. Wiley
Post returned here Friday from Muir
&C Dry Lake. where he was forced
down by an oil line leak. and said he
hoped to start the flight again lin q
few days"
Post had gone only 125 miles
when he saw his oil gauge had
dropped and realized he would have
to land. He believed he had "lost'
his weather. and that conditions
would not be right to renew his
flight Saturday.
But I hope to get going again very
soon, possibly in few days the
flier said.
Notices Pressure Dropping
II got away fine" Post said, and
climbed rapidly to 24,50O feet. where
l leveled off. think l was about
IS minutes away from Los Angeles
at that altitude. Everything was
running fine. Compasses and radio
were operating perfectly.
Then I noticed my oil pressure
dropping. I found out in a few min
utes that I had a leaky oil line. I
knew then I'd have to turn back, so
I was returning to the Union Air
terminal. but the pressure dropped 50
fast I was afraid I'd never be able
to get back.
II decided then to come down at
Muroc Lake.
Trucks were sent to the Dry Lake,
situated In the central part Of the
Mojave desert, and mechanics were
installing q new propeller. one blade
Of which was damaged when Post
brought the highwinged monoplaue
to landing on its wooden skid
Mechanics were to install the land
ing gear which Post dropped at the
takeoff, and later Friday Post plan
ned to fly the plane. the winnie

will be gone over thoroughly. still
another propeller hooked up, and Post
will make test flight before he takes
off for New York.
Make II Next Time
Asked how fast he was going after
the takeoff, Post said
well it was plenty fast. Boy!
how I was travelling. I'm going to
make it next time, too"
Muroc is located In the Mojave
desert. It Is an extinct salt lake and
the immediate territory where Post
landed Is excessively dry and the soil
hard packed. Various automobile
racers have used the region for test
spins.
Post dropped the landing gear Of
his plane at the takeoff at 6:07.l5
q. m. (PST), so he had to make his
forced descent into the desert on q
wooden belly skid" making q dead
stick landing.
In one Of aviation's most audaci-
Gus exploits, Post planned - lily

He undertook the flight to test

Auti.War Bill Delayed

Meanwhile. the program-shaping
house rules committee delayed action
on bills to take the profit out Of war
and add $1,000 men to the army un-
til the attitude Of President Roosevelt
could be ascertained.
Chairman McSwaiu (D-S.C) Of the
military affairs committee asked the
rules committee to give preferred
legislative status 70 both bills. He
conceded. however, that he had dis
cussed neither with the president.
The rules committee asked him to
communicate with Mr.. Roosevelt and
report back. McSwain said he would
do so early next week.
The war profits bill would permit
the president, upon the declaration Of
war. 70 fix prices at q level which
existed prior to the outbreak Of war.

Olympic Games
Disturbed Ouer
Hitier's Action

NEW YORK, March 18. W.P)-
Nazi activities over the weekend
brought conjecture in athletic cir
cles today on the possibility of the
Olympic games scheduled in Ger
many being cancelled.
Scrapping of the Versailles treaty
and general unrest in Europe loom-
ed as new obstacles to the premier
athletic event generally regarded as
contributor to international amity
but already in a snarl because of
Nazi discrimination against Jews.
Avery Brundage, president of the
Olympic committee, said at Chicago
he could see no connection between
the present situation and the jew
ish-Nazi-Olympic tangle, and ex-
pressed little concern.
Prominent Olympic and A. A, U.
officials in the east would not give
their views for publication, pend
ing further developments, but OBJ
viously regarded the situation as far
from reaSsuring.
The rapidly changing situation in
Germany opens the way to new
fight by powerful faction in Am
erican athletics which has stood
against the Olympics on the Jew
ish question and probably will make
more determined effort to keep
the United States out Of competi-
tIon.

cred flag closed the event.
The other events on the race pro-
gram consisted of five 5-round races
to qualify for the main run and two
match races which were probably
the most interesting events on the
program. The match run between
Bob Ware and Ed Davis was thrill
ing in the extreme as both racers
we're almost fender to fender around
the course and it was only on the
home stretch that Ware was able
to shake loose from Davis and bring
his buggy home the winner. The
other match race, the first event on
the program, was between Guthrie
and Swanson, the two fastest cars
in the qualifying runs and Swan
son. held the track better than III

easy winner.
The races were, witnessed by
large crowd who enjoyed the events
the more because the racers were

DAYTONA BEACH, Fla, March
18. - One million dollars.
Twenty years of dreaming.
Twenty years of Shaving.
Twenty years of dueling with
death.
That, in four brief paragraphs, is
the story of Sir Malcolm Campbell
and his search for a worlds land
speed of 300 miles an hour.
II is a story whose final chapter
the 50-year-old Briton had expected
to write on the sands of Daytona
Beach this year.
Six weeks ago he came here,
brimming over with confidence.
Fit, and with the mightiest car ever
assembled by man, he felt that at
last his dream was coming true:
that, in one great burst down the
beach, he would fulfill the task he
had set for himself.
But today. after four blazing
drives down the sands. his goal still
dances in front of him. Not far in
front, now, and that's the madden
ing part of it. It's at his finger
tips, SO near, yet SO far. Between
him and fulfillment of his dreams,
is nothing more than little rip
pie of sand, so small that it cam
not be seen by the eye. 1t was this
little ripple, somewhere on the IL

Glenn Cunningham, "the Iron Man"
of Kansas, believes the track over
which he ran Saturday night in
winning the K. Of C. races, won in
indoor record time, deprived him OF
the fastest time ever recorded.
He found the scientifically con-

might have done the 1000, which he
won in 2:l0.1, three seconds faster.
Cunningham left for Kansas, via

PIRATES NOT
IMPRESSIVE
IN TRAINING
By GEORGE KIRKSEY
United Press Staff Correspondent

SAN BERNARDINO, Calf,
March l8.-The Pittsburgh Pirates
are the problem team of the Ma
tional league. No one knows just
how good, or how bad they will be
whether they are a first or sew
'enth place club. Manager Pie Tray
nor, who succeeded George Gibson
last June 90, thinks they have the
ingredients to weld into danger
GUS pennant contender. Other OBJ
servers disagree with Traynor and
think the Pirates are rapidly dis
integrating into second division
ball club. They finished fifth last
year and have added only three or
four players of any consequence
since then.
The Pirates have more "ifs" than
any other club in the National
league. Doubts surround the follow
ing:
1. Lloyd Waner's health.
3. Babe Hernans ability to come
back.
3. The pitching staff.
4. Second base, where Trayror
has five candidates.
S. Ability of the the club to get
by with six left-handed hitters in
the regular lineup.
8. Whether the players will aban-
con their night life frivolities and
adhere to TraynorS mo drinking"
rule.
A couple of years ago Lloyd Wa
ner was one of baseball's best out
fielders but stomach ailment and
other illness has robbed him OF
much of his effectiveness. He is
trying earnestly to make a come
back, but the odds seem to be
against his regaining all of his for
mer glory. ~.
At one time Babe Herman, obtain
ed from the Chicago Cubs last win
ter, was one of the hardest hitting
outfielders in baseball but last sea-
son found him hitting only .304. He
blamed his decline partially on the
background at Wrigley Field Chi
cago, and insisted that he will start
numbering the ball again at Forbes
field, Pittsburgh. With Lloyd Waner
in good health and Babe Herman
hitting again to team up with PaN.
Waner, National league batting
champion, the Pirates would have
one of the outstanding outfields in
the National league. But at this
time two-thirds of this outfield COM
bination is q big question mark.

On track that made racing a
perilous task, the midget auto rae
ers gave a wonderful exhibition of
speed and skill at the fairgrounds
yesterday afternoon. The program
was two hours late in getting under
way due to the fact that there were
several muddy spots which needed
tanning out and other cars we're re-
Questioned for that purpose. Even
after this had been done the racers
experienced extreme difficulty and
seldom let their machines out to
the limit due to danger of skidding.
There were nine events on the
racing program climaxed by the 40
lap main event on the i-5 mile
special track. There were 10 cars in
this race, piloted by Bob Swanson,
Bob Ware mot the local sheriff.,
Bill Betteredge, Johnnie Keim,
Jimmy Miller, Ed Davis, Mel Han
son, Tom Elliott, Mel Mennelly and
@. Guthrie.
The event was won by Guthrie,
closely followed by Swanson, Better
edge, Ware and Keim. Time was Is
minutes, 3.8 seconds. At the start
Guthrie and Swanson made a race
of it, and the lead changed hands
between these two repeatedly dur
ing the early stages of the race.
Near the middle of the event
Swanson skidded into the infield
while making the south turn which
was extremely treacherous during
the race and lost considerable time
He stayed in the race and put on a
wonderful exhibition of driving in
an effort to catch the fleeing Guth-
rie who capitalized on this oppor-
tunity. Swanson nearly made good
his threat to take the leadership
away from Guthrie but couldn't
make it and had to be content with
second place. -.
Duel For Second Place

for second place continually and for
several laps of the race led his op-
ponent but in the 9th lap Swanson
