limits for the Soap Box Derby, but
this one isn't. He is only IL years
old. Earle Donoho was when he
made his debut as concert pianist
at Radio City in New York. For
SIX years his only concern with

the keyboard, and youthful
curiosity about the innardS of a
metronome
It's a little different now. This
year he became eligible for the Soap
Box Derby, and he wants to get his
finger exercises Sandpaperlng the
frame of his coaster racer and spend
those practice hours dreaming up
new and revolutionary schemes for
faster Soap Box Derby speedster.
Earle has registered for the Derby
and has started TO build his racer.
In one room at his home at 318
Chelsea lane. he works painstak-
ingly on the frame of his car. and
then has to leave it to go to the
living room and work out on the
piano for awhile. II keeps him very
busy.
IN Dr.on
Asked yesterday if he liked to
play the piano. he grinned and said.
Yeah, ike to play, but I don't
like that practicin."
The talk was steered by him then
to the technical aspects of Derby
racer building, and he displayed his
drawings Of what his racer is to
look like. His problem now is to
find time to complete the construc-
ton OF the car. He plans to con-
tinue his musical training at a sum-
mer camp, and he also has been
asked to 60 to New York City for an
addition on which musical
scholarship may depend
Il don't know whether I can finish
my car or not" he said Il want
to go to New York and want to
be in the Derby. too
For three years boys from Wash
tngton and nearby areas have built
homemade coaster cars and raced
them over a downhill course in the
city for the title of Washington
Soap Box Derby champion and the
right to represent the National Cap
ital at the Derby finals at Akron,

Silver Spring Flyer,
Rejected byU. s.,
Helping England
Clark L. TrumbuII, Jr.,
Ferries Planes From
Factory to Air Fields

A 25-year-old Silver Spring (Md)
aviator who was turned down for
service with the United States Army
Air Corps is reported making good
as a civilian airplane delivery man"
in England
He is Clark L. Trumbull, jr., son
of a retired United States Army
master sergeant who served overseas
in the World War.
Mr.. Trumbull writes his family
that he has flown everything they
have over here" He retains his
American citizenship as he has not
enlisted with the military forces over
there. His father said he is with the
Air Transport Auxiliary in England.
Delivers New Planes.
His chief duties are to transport
newly-built airplanes manufactured
in England to combatant flying fields
throughout the British Isles. He also
delivers American-made planes, he
writes.
He wanted to enlist at Kelley
Field" his father said. but the
Army wouldn't accept him because
of his teeth"
Disappointed, because he has been
interested in flying since he was a
child, the aviator enlisted in New
York City about five months ago for
English service.
His employers paid him $3.50 a
week, $40 of which Mr.. Trumbull
retains for living expenses and $110
of which is sent to a Silver Spring
bank. He has written of plans by
10 American aviators to save suffi-
cient money to purchase an airport
in the United States.
Letters Often Delayed.
The son built model airplanes and
acted as helper around airports near
Washington while still in his teens.
He learned to fly at College Park
and for a short time was an in
structor at Congressional Airport,
his father said.
His letters, all censored, some
times are held up for several weeks
and occasionally arrive three at a
time. Because of his mothers
worry. the aviator sometimes cables
to assure her of his safety.
On December 90. Mr.. Trumbull
wrote: I'VE are having it very quiet
here Hardly ever hear a German
plane at night and they have quit
coming over in the day as about SO
per cent get shot down"
At that time he was living with
Sir Lindsey and Lady Everards, he
wrote.

came operative August i, according
to B. j Mccarthy, business manager.
This is rate of 155 per cent, or

Mr.. Mccarthy said, however, local

segregated, infections for Negroes
being rated at 13 per cent. 1t was
also noted that local hospital sta
