Hitler finished speaking at

his voice still strong. Four
minutes later Goering de-
clared the session closed and
Hitler left amid thunderous
"heils" from the Deputies.
Hitler laid the blame to British
war mongers" and also to Poland's
calling up of troops, for his cancel
lation of two agreements he con-
tended Poland rejected Just after
the solution of the problem of Dan
zig and the Polish Corridor.
In announcing his decision that
the ten-year non aggression agree
ment of 1884 with Poland had been
infringed Hitler ominously re-
ferred to the fate of Chechoslovakia
by saying
Poland Blamed
The worst is that now Poland
like Czechoslovakia year ago be-
lieves under pressure of lying in
ternational campaign that it must
call up troops although Germany
on her part has not called up a
single man and has not thought of
proceeding in any way against Po-
land"

said, Il merely restored to the Ger
man people what others had broken

that violated foreign rights but have
merely restored the rights violated

Today's Sports Parade


He was right on both counts,
because his run was nothing, and
it was an old crate he was driV-
ing.
His car was the old National
that Joe Dawson drove to VIC
tory in the second 500-mile race
here in 1912. Equipped with
motor that any housewife would
brand as unfit for her washing
machine, the best the mad driv-
er could get out of it was 28
miles an hour-on the straighta-
way. On the turns timing officials
used calendars instead OF stop
watches in clocking its progress.
1t was so long in making the
first trip around the two and one
half mile track that had it not
shown UP just when it did
searching party would have been
organized.
The cars that will run in the
race tomorrow are as close to the
ground as caterpillars. The Ma
tional stands as many hands high
as Man o. War. This year cars
qualified at speeds of between l20
and 100 miles per hour. The Ma
tional won its race, going away,
with an average of 1877 m.p.h.
The National has no tachometer
no Speedometer, no oil pressure
gauge-in fact, nothing on her
dashboard at all In the modern
cars the racer sits snug in
cushioned seat, his face protected
by a streamlined windshield. All
Joe Dawson had to protect his
face from flying bits of brick was
a ridiculous bit of metal bric-a-
brac shaped like tennis racquet
that stood in front of the steer
ing wheel.
Some of the cars in tomorroWs
race will run the entire 500 miles
on one set of tires. The National
wore out a set every 40 or SO
miles. The National is a right
hand drive, with the gear lever
and emergency brake rising in
braSSy majesty outside the body
Her shock absorbers, such as they
are, are wooden, and to ride a
mile is to risk the unfastening of
every part of your body. When
running, the National throws off
billows of blue smoke, giving rise
to the suspicion that she burns
soft coal for fuel.
The National handles - and I
should know, because 1 was the
dare devil who spun her five
miles-like rnired army tEnk
must handle. To turn her wheels
is feat of strength; to straighten
them anothc".
Riding with me on the five mile
trip was Don Herr, who drove
the National 1876 of the 500 miles
in 1912 and rode as mechanic for
Dawson the rest of the way.
"No one could have convinced
me the day we came out for the
race that there ever would be a
faster, prettier car than this one"
Herr said as we bumped and
wheezed down the backstretch.
"She was so pretty in her day
that people used TO stand around
her by the hour, just to admire
her graceful lines"
