For Derby Winner
~ "a.
But He's Eager Now

David Icenhower grew up to be Is
years old and about feet 10 inches
tall before he acquired hobby, but
he's really making up for lost time
with the one he has now.
The winner of yesterdays Soap
Box Derby is going to sharpen up his
red racer, "Peckerwood." for a stab
at the world championship at Akron
Ohio, August IT,
Although he has mechanical
turn of mind and likes to fool
around" with electric motors and
such, David admitted after the race
he never went in for hobbies much
until he began to get interested in
the Derby just before the end OF the
term at Anacostia High School.
David, who lives at 1927 G street
Sc. and is the son of Homer A.
Icenhower, a motorcycle policeman
attached to the traffic division, never
had raced before. He and Buddy
Cutshaw, schoolmate, laid the
groundwork for two racers in the
basement of Buddy's home, 713
Croissant place Sc. shortly before
their summer vacations started.
Once school was out, David and
Buddy worked eight or 10 hours a
day and hardly had time for lunch
and supper. Buddy, who did not
reach the finals. was one OF the
first to congratulate his pal.
David's mechanic was his elder
brother, Wayne, l6, who helped him
put final touches on the racer at
the starting line. His mother and
father were on hand to cheer when
his Peckerwood or Woody" for
short, swept across the finish line
nearly two lengths ahead OF the
black racer of 12-year-old Edward
Diehl of 1910 Lee boulevard, Airing
ton, the runner-up.
Young Diehl swallowed his dis
appointment like sportsman, and
there was wide grin on his
freckled face when he went up to
shake hands with the winner. David
despite the nonchalance with which
he folded his long frame into the
little racer at the starting line, was
feeling a bit choked up with excite
ment.
He managed to stammer few
words into the radio microphone for
WMAL, The Evening Star Station
as he received the trophy.
Its nice trophy" David de-
clared. Thanks a lott"
David's father told the radio au-
dience, I'm mighty proud of that
boy" His mother, who seemed very
close to tears. exclaimed, Il GER
tainly am looking forward to going
to Akron with David"
Asked how he would like to bring
his family and 10 friends to the
Capitol Theater, to be introduced
to the audience, David replied. Il
don't know, but Ill be there!
David made good his promise last
night.
For winning the local champion
ship, David received bicycle. a
medal, cup and plaque, In addition
to an order for sports goods. He
and his mother will go to Akron
as guests of The Star.
If David wins the championship
there-that is what he's working for
now-he will be given a four-year
scholarship in the college OF his
choice.
David was the winner Of warm
up race on South Dakota avenue
NE. on July 4, sponsored by the
Eastgate Business Association.

been a dead heat.
The tall, .taciturn champ had beer
sought out for comments by Mf
Coyle after several of his earlier
wins, but he had little interest ir

back to the starting ramp to con.
tinue his days business.
When it was done, however, ht
was willing to talk. He admitted ht
had had an exciting day.
Diehl Wins in His Class.
The meeting of class champions
brought together boys of differen
age groups who had raced in theil
own classes up to that point. Young
Diehl became representative of thu
IL and 12-year-olds by winning
over Bobby Yates, II. LOG Westmore-
land avenue, Takoma Park, Md.
Dead heats were not infrequent

street NE, and Thomas w, Moore
jr., 13, 1908 H street NE, came
across the finish line together twice

Thereupon, their racing lanes

third try. 1t had been announced

round if they had third dead heat

School were winning regularly in

Control The Beast

It is my earnest conviction that England avoided this conscription of her industry and her people just as long as possible. These steps must have been taken reluc- tantly, for she long has champion ed all the freedoms that we hold dear. There is only one conclusion to be drawn: these dangerous a"d drastic steps cannot be avoided under a government managed economy. Once the cameps head is in, there's no keeping him out of the tent.
 Every free American must take this as warning. It we want free dom to work at the job we choose, where we choose, and to bargain for our Wages-then we do not want government managed economy. If we want the right to own property and to operate a business for what profit there lS VI it, then we must stay shy of gov ernment managed economy. The t:itish experience tells thc stcry.
