and too much speed in building might
hamper your chances for winning one
of the prizes.
All of your cars speed is going to
depend on how fast it will coast on a
down. hill slope, and therefore the dis
tribution Of weight will be very i'm
portant factor. Your car won't have
any motor and you won't be able to
push it with your feet. The speed
that you make will depend on sturdy
construction and free and easy run
ming wheels with well-oiled bearings.

But even if you do have excellent
wheels and the frame is strong enough
to carry two boys instead of one, the
speed gained by good wheels and bear
ings can be spoiled il the car is not
properly balanced.
Some of the contestants in other
years didn't take the problem Of
weight distribution into consideration.
which In a number of cases made a
difference Of perhaps only one-tenth
Of second in the running time over
the course, but which was enough to
defeat them.
The placing of the axle mounting
must, therefore, be made carefully,
so that all the weight to be carried
will be equally distributed over all
four of the wheels. Remember, too,
that the weight to be carried includes
the weight of the driver
In marking the cockpit space bear
in mind that the weight Of the driver
will be the heaviest single factor in
the total weight, but that there also
will be the steering wheel and control
wires at the front of the car. Prob
ably the best location for the drivers
seat would be a short distance to the
rear Of the exact center of the car.
Wheel Base Rules.
In the 1888 Oficial Rule Book,

car shall have a wheel base Of less than
40 inches. The total length of the
car cannot be more than 70 inches.
The wheel base is the distance be-
tween the center of the hub on the

Thus, he saw the only choice a.
lying between "a third New Deal

compromise"
The compromise. he said. involved
recognition Of collective bargaining
as "the law of the land" and the
sentiment Of the people and re-
ductions in steel prices. even at a
considerable sacrifice of profits OF
even if some high-cost producers are
eliminated"
IF you can sincerely accept that
middle course and accommodate your
self to 1t. you can steal this third New
Deal show and save our system"
Gen. Johnson's outcry against steel
prices drew an immediate reply from
Tom M. Girdler. chairman OF the
Republic Steel Corp. and president OF
the institute. Terming price cuts un-
wise. Mr.. Girdler said in an unsched-
uled speech that his own company was
losing one million dollars month and
the solution would not be found in a
schedule of lower prices that would

Berlin, June 20 (AP)-For Jews Of
Berlin another day of persecution
today extended what probably is the
greatest wave of anti-Semitism since
the Nazis came to power five years
ago.
Now, after three weeks of raids and
DETACHMENT of Jewish-owned stores,
they found that, at least in the be-
rough Weissense, they were for
den to buy in Aryan food shops.
Placard pasting crews appeared in
the northern suburb, but instead of
the Jewish stores that were the OBJ
jectives of the red paint crews, Aryan
stores were the goal this time.
Aryan grocers, bakers and butchers
were surprised to find large red post
ers stuck on their windows: We
don't sell to Jews"
Jews arriving at their places of
business found that Sunday night
paint squads had invaded the down.
town districts and left no Jewish
shops or name plate untouched by
their red paint.
There still are several thousand
Jewish-owned business places in Ber-
lin in the downtown section in the
fashionable west end and in the poor
err northern and eastern boroughs.

Reserve Board Hints 1t

BY CHARLES p. STEWART
Central Press COlumnist

Washington, June 20.-The Federal
Reserve Boards last monthly econo-
mic review does not specifically re-
commend increased American arma-
ment expenditures as an industrial
stimulant.
1t does, however, mention that, a
mong all industrial countries, the
United States has suffered the worst
business recession since last fall. It
remarks also that other countries
economic activity appears to have
sustained Ky heavy production for ar
mament purposes.
The inference is rather plain thai
the Reserve Board believes Uncle Sam
might have supported this nations
prosperity in the same way.
e Is This Its View?
Congress has, indeed, recently au
thorized enormous armament expen-
ditures, but it only "authorized" them
except to a comparatively limited ex-
tent; it did not vote the money to
realize more than a relatively small
fraction of the authorization.
Little of the actual work is being
done, or can be done sOon due to
lack of spot cash to pay for it. Or
credit, either.
