Mr.. Crump, who organization has

the following statement:

Is reelected, or he will die on the
seventh day thereafter. And they
are saying, too, in either event,
Gov. McCord will appoint me Sem
ator. OF course, Senator McKeller
has no idea of resigning, and, Of
course, he has no idea of dying.
AL the iva dams, which
Senator McKeller made possible,
couldn't generate enough power to
pull me to Washington. quit Con-
gress and resigned as national COM
mitteeman because there was
nothing alluring in making those
long trips.
while I expect to wear out and
never rust out, still, after this
election, I am going to take it a
little easier. Mrs. Crump and plan
to go to South America this fall,
which will be much more attractive
than the stone walls around the
legislative hall. Answering tele-
grams and a stack of mail, seeing
the departments, serving for hours

The boys who will drive the rae

yesterday during the Derby radio
program on Station WMAL. All
told Bill Coyle, radio director Of
The Star, that they were confident
OF making a good showing in the
first postwar running Of the race.
George Won Reeden. Is, 200
Twenty first street NE, said he
was using the "dewdrop" design in
building his racer. The husky East
ern High School student told Mr.
Coyle he had obtained quantity
Of bamboo for use in constructing
the body framework in order to
keep the weight Of his car low.
Plans to Add Speed.
George also revealed he hoped to
gain speed by elevating the rear OF
the racer slightly, thereby throwing
most of the weight forward.
Ronald Kines, IA, 1917 Potomac
avenue Sc, admitted he had
started to build his racer before
obtaining an omcial rule book.
After checking the rules, he found
his creation too heavy and equipped
with nonregulation steering mech
anism, he said. However, Ronald
added, he was rebuilding the car
and would have it ready for the
Derby.
The Hine Junior High School
student said he was using fabric
similar to that found on model air
planes for covering the body frame
of his racer.
Sam 1rby, IS, 1914 D street Sc,
offered encouragement to boys who
have not begun building racers, al.
though the Derby Is less than a
month In the future. Sam, who also
has been attending Hine Junior High

and did not think it was too late
to start construction. He pointed
