MEN INpIT5 REAL HEROES
 FOR CLASSIC
Repairs Not Only Made But Signals Are Given 10
 Speedway Racers
By HAROLD HARRISON
 AP Feature Service

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, May 30.- The men who man the pits are the unsung heroes of the Memorial Day speedway classic.
 In those tiny. equipment packed enclosures, 10 by 20 feet, along the grandstand straightaway many a race is won or lost.
 Most auto race fans know the pits as the racers repair bases comparatively few know the rac- CTS strategy and tactics are care fully mapped out there and flashed to him as he whizzes by.
 Pit men must be clocklike in their precision They change tires in three swift movements - a hitch in any one means precious seconds lost. They must keep the driver accurately advised on how he is running-a slip may cause him to make his bid for first place too soon or too late.
 Everything Handy
 There's no wasted space in the pits Every conceivable article needed for car or driver during the grueling 500-mile race is kept within easy reach. Fuel contain CTS. Spare wheels. Tools, Extra parts. Even electric refrigerators.
 The refrigerator, comparative ly new wrinkle, contains refresh- ments and an extra crash helmet. Those head coverings get pretty hot in the blazing sun.
 Five men are assigned to each car. The pit manager usually times his driver by stop watch. Another man signals the driver by blackboard notes. The others divide the tasks of tire changing refueling, and attending the driver himself.
 H. c. (Cotton) Henning, mas ter mechanic for the Mike Boyle racing team, is an ace pit manager He did great job Of maSter-mlnd- ing Wilbur Shaw to first place last year and has directed more winners than any other man at tached to the 1940 race.
 The Schedule
 Here's his pit program:
 We signal the driver by black board, his miles per hour, posi- ton, and which cars are running just behind and ahead of him. We also let him know, after stop watch checkup, whether he's gain ing or losing and advise him how to regulate his speed. Signals are given every g laps early in the race, every 10 laps in the later stages.
 Its our job to function as the eyes and ears of the man behind the wheel, telling him what he can't see on the track or car. To do the job right you must race with your car every lap"

Stock Averages
60-Stock Range Since 1927:
BY VICTOR EUBANK,
Associated Press Financial Writer.

NEW YORK. Aug. 29.-Selected
stocks were kept on the rallying
route in today's market, but many
leaders were side-tracked.
Hesitant at the start, the list
shifted over an irregular range
thereafter. Dealings slackened ap-
preciably on the failure to extend
Wednesdays recovery, and transfers
for the full proceedings were around
275, 900 shares, against 381 900 yes
terday.
Final gains and losses, for the most
part, were in fractions, although
scattered variations of a point or so
were to be seen.
Prominent among reasons given
for the uneven performance was that
number of traders hghtened &C.
counts in preparation for the lengthy
Labor Day recess. Some planned to
stretch their holiday fcon tomor-
row until Tuesday, lnasmuch as
little excitement was looked for in
Saturdays short session and the ex-
change will be shut Monday.
Others either cashed profits on
the preceding upturn or continued
to stand aside to await developments
in the intensified Anglo German air
battles which today ragged over Lon
don and Berlin. In addition, spec.
ulative forces exhibited an inclina-
ton to step carefully pending con-
gressional action of Congress on
selective service and taxes.
Business news still was a buoying
influence and was credited with
boosting quotations for individual
issues as we'll as limiting selling
throughout. Helpful was a jump in
last weeks railway freight loadings
to a new peak for the year.
United Aircraft edged forward,
when announcement was made that
the company had been granted
100000 order for Army-Navy
plane engines.
Accorded support were Boeing,
Sperry, Glenn Martin, Montgom-
cry Ward, Sears Roebuck, North
American, Du Pont, Billiard, New
York Central and Johns Manville.
Backward were United States
Steel, Bethlehem, Chrysler, Cen
eral Motors. Anaconda. Kennecott,
General Electric. Westinghouse,
Texas Corp. and j. c. Penney.

Glass Covers Sidewalks.
High explosives dug two 10-foot
craters, 5 feet deep, in the middle of
the street Sidewalks were covered
with shattered glass for a biloxi in
every direction. Army officers said
the nearest objective of military
consequence was a railway station
about half a mile away.
So high were the raiders that
powerful searchlights were unable
to pick them out. despite a cloudless
sky and only heavy anti-aircraft
guns were called into action.
The British dropped flares, as well
as bombs particularly in the west
ern section of the city. Some were
snuffed out promptly by anti-air-
craft fire; others hung over this
part of the capital several minutes.
Meanwhile, DNB, reporting on
yesterdays activity by the Nazi air
force, claimed only two British air
dromes near the Thames Estuary
had been attacked, with a limited
number of planes engaged and only
two air fights in which few planes
were shot down.

Incomes of $200, 900
Double in Argentine

Taxpayers having annual incomes
of 100000 or more have doubled in
Argentina since 1882, it is announced
at Buenos Aires. This is said to be
probably due to the closer check
now kept by the income tax authori-
ties than to any real increase in the
number of millionaires.
Argentina now lists $50 persons
in receipt of annual incomes of
100000 or more. The average is
1889 900, or more than $1,000 each
day, and the aggregate income is
s103 ,987 900. Last year the 280 per-
sons paid in income taxes $780,

W.R. g. E. Units in Demand.
Participating units of Washington
Railway & Electric common stock,
which have recently been in heavy
demand in this city, came into the
limelight today through yesterdays
action by the North American Co.
Declaring a special dividend on its
own stock, the company voted 1-40th
of a share of Washington Railway &
Electric common for each 100 shares
of North American common, as we'll
as the quarterly dividend of 30 cents
a share.
The first dividend of this kind was
declared by the North American Co.
in December, 1899. The original
units have been very popular here,
it being estimated that 80 per cent
of the first units are now held by
Washington people. The units are
sold over the counter. The first
special divi6en was based on one
participating unit for every so shares
of North American.
The present bid for these units is
around $40 per unit. They originally
sold at $18 per unit. At current
prices, they yield per cent, this &C
counting for the demand for them.
Investment dealers said today that
they have been selling around $40
and $1,000 unit for several weeks,
while many other issues have been
constantly working lower.
This latest dividend by the North
American Co. is in line with the
company's plan to reduce holdings
in Washington Railway & Electric
common stock. The bid for Wash
ington Railway 81 Electric common
stood at $3.50 per share, ex dividend,
on the Washington Stock Exchange
yesterday.

Business Problems
10 Be Intensified
by War, Bankers Say
Ten Issues Awaiting
Solution Are Cited
In A. B. A. Survey
BY EDWARD C. STONE.


While few direct economic con-
sequences of the war have yet peen
felt In this country, Banking, off,
cial organ of the American Bankers
Association, declares in the Septem-
Der issue that every major business
problem awaiting solution at the
moment was born of the war or has
a definite wartime background
Asserting that the war Is bound
to have growing economic effects
before long, 10 outstanding ques-
tons are cited, which are closely
connected with the conflict abroad
The problems:
81. Gold. What is the future of
gold as monetary standard? The
to establish sort of prohibition
or 18th amendment against the use
of gold has caused some worry in
this country. The chances ale that
any attempt to suppress the metal
will only increase its deslabll!ty.
SO. National debt Can we add
billions of deficits to billions of
deficits and come out with raj
anced budget?
"3. Initiation. Almost everyone
expects some degree of currency in
f1ation and credit imitation before
this troubled era is over.
a. Foor for Europe. This prob
lem is seriously economically, soci-
ally and politically. Our present
price level is based on abundance
of food, which does not exist if we
take into account the greatly cur
tailed supplies abroad.
New World Competition.
SO. Postwar trade. Business must
prepare right away to face a new
world of international competition
when fighting stops.
Is. Housing. A shortage of dwell
ing places is one inevitable result OF
the expansion of industrial facili-
ties and the decentralization of
plants. A million and a half I'M
occupied houses are not wnere they
are needed.
81. Taxation. One thing We car
be sure of is that a rising curve of
business activity will mean more
money for the revenue collector.
Canadian indexes show q sharp up
ward trend for the first war year
but this should not be confused
with prosperity.
"8. Plant construction and deem
tralization. This may turn out to be
very important economic result of
the war.
80. Skilled labor. The training of
workers in some fields is going to be
a bigger problem than putting up
factory buildings for them to work
in.
40. Government in business"
Sales Official Promoted.
