NEW VANTAGE SPOT
AT SPEEDWAY
AP Ne1vsfpafurPs

INDIANAPOLIS-The old press
pagoda, picture postcard feature
of the Indianapolis motor speedway,
will be deserted this year by press
and radio men.
A new press box and radio booths
are being built atop the paddock
stand, across the starting line
from the pagOda.
The arrangement for newspaper
cOverage of the annual Memorial
Day 500-mile race long was unique
among major sports events. The
winters, facing the west straight
away from the inside of the track,
could see less than third of the
two and a half miles of track. They
could see nothing of activities in
the pits.
AS result, "leg mem had stiff
workout whenever there was a
wreck or pit stop. Reporters in
the press box saw the start, the
finish, flashes of speeding racers
and bulletins from the speedway
teletype.
The new press box will give q
view of the entire park except 9
small part of the northeast turn
behind grove of trees. Reporters
can look down into the pits anl
can make a quick check of cars
positions from a new score board
inside the track.
Some 200 newspaper and radio
