Farmingdale, N. Y, May H-Use of racing drivers as guinea pigs for automotive industry development is on more, according to Ralph De- Palma, who roared to 2557 victories in 1889 races over a span of 27 years.
 Now, at 60 with hair as white as the sandy stretch at Daytona Beach the winner of the 5O0-mile race ovel the Indianapolis speedway brick in 1915 lends his smoke and dust-eat- ing, experience with motors to Uncle Sam as mechanical engineer ir charge of the transmission labora- tories at the Ranger aircraft en- zines division of the Fairchild En- zine here on Long Island.
 Development and research ir combustion engines will no longer look to the saucers filled with careening, skidding, tumbling gas buggies driven by madmen for test ing of new ideas and study, De- Palma believes. All such rigorous conditions can now be simulated ir the laboratories.
 Nevertheless, he says, racing has more than justified it's existence be- cause airplane motors wouldn't be as developed as they are now with. out the drivers who took engines out of the textbook and put them tc actual test.
 POWER IS HIS OBJECTIVE
 From the day in 1907 when ht stepped into a special Allen Kings. ton as raven-haired, sparkling eyed Italian of 24, and made 6 miles per hour, DePalma never va. thrill seeker or speed maniac qualities often wrongly associated with men who risk their necks fol prize money.
 It was the start in an ambition to get the most power, durability and speed with the greatest safety from gasoline motors. He carrie!

By WILLIAM c. PAYETTE United Press Staff Correspondent

Long Beach, Cal, May 27. UP)- BantamWeight Boxing Champion Manuel Ortiz successfully defended his title for the fifth time last night, winning an unanimous 15-round de- cision over Joe Robleto.
 The Champion gave away a pound to the Pasadenan, who came in at the 118-pound limit.
 Only once did Ortiz appear in trouble, and Robleto was unable to press the advantage. Early in the seventh he opened cut over Ortiz's eye Continued hammering only angered the Champion into a hail of leather. From the twelfth on Robleto absorbed punches from rope to rope.
 Robletos only rounds were the seventh and eighth and a draw in the third. It was his second loss to Artiz, having dropped a 10-round overweight decision several weeks ago in San Diego.
