New Plan for Parking.
Tom and Frank Lane explained
some of the changes that will
make for more comforts for the
spectators. The parking situation,
which they admitted had at times
been a problem, has been turned
over to professionals. "They have
a better arrangement and plenty
of manpower for handling cars and
we don't expect any more jams
either coming in or going out, "
said Tom Lane. A 25-cent fee
will be charged for parking (there
was no fee in previous years., but
admission prices have been lowered
to more than offset that. he said.
"But we're going to put up q
500 pot every night and give it
away to those who park their cars. +"
Another give-away plan is that
every fifth night a new automo-
bile will 60 to some lucky Gus
toner whose name is drawn from
a hat as sponsor of one of the
drivers. Twelve sponsors names
will be drawn on these give-away
nights and the one whose driver
wins the feature race takes home
the new auto.

'C. U. Bids for Track
Crown; Shoremen
Favored TO Win

Catholic University will bid for
its fourth Mason-Dixon Confer
ence track crown at Baltimore
tomorrow and Saturday, but the
clockers look for Washington Col
lege to win its first title. The
Shoremen got running start to-
ward the championship two weeks
by winning the Mason-Dixon mile
relay at the Penn Relays.
Beginning next year this race
will be restored to the champion
ship meet. although conference
teams will continue to enter the
race set up especially for them by
Penn officials. Mason Dixon
coaches voted to run the title race
| in their own meet because the
Penn system of making each team
run all four laps in it's starting
line obviously makes the outside
teams run yards farther than
their opponents. In the confer
ence post positions change with
each exchange of the stick, the
pole team going to the outside,
ETC.. thereby equalizing the dis
tance.
Coach Dorsey Griffith has Sc
lected "a men for the champion
ship games and is trying to juggle
the entries to pick up every avail
able point. Hurdler Tom Brown
ing, for example. will run in the
2-mile race If he doesn't qualify
for the timber final. Bill Kimball,
star of the Cardinal swimming
team. and Oral Graves, better
known for his wrestling, will try
their hands in the pole vault. Len

Backers Of West Lanham Speed
way have plans for making tre
midget auto races there this season
more popular than ever. Spec
tators are being wooed to the
speedway by better parking facil-
tiles, a new road that should cut
down traffic congestion so per cent
and with give-away prizes that
seem certain to attract customers
in greater numbers. And once the
customers come to the races, the
track promoters promise to put on
the kind of competition that will
keep them coming back for more.
The reverse start is one thing
expected to make races tighter
and more exciting. Under this
system the best cars will start at
the rear in feature races instead
of in front as has been the custom
and to win consistently driver
will have to pass most of the other
ears in the field. That apparently
is what spectators like and it's
what they'll get this season.
Drivers Like Reverse Start.
These and other new features
of the season at Lanham, where
racing starts week from tomor-
row night, were explained yester-
day at a luncheon for the press
given by Tom and Frank Lane,
promoters of midget auto racing
there. Among the speakers was
Joe Barzda. president of the Amer
lean Racing Drivers Club. Barzda
indicated that he is one of the
drivers who particularly likes the
reverse start idea. He is Ford
v-S driver and the reverse start
figures to keep the Offenhauser
drivers from monopolizing the
races, as they have In late years.
\ Speaking of Lanham, Barzda
said that, in the opinion Of midget
drivers, it is one Of the best tracks
on the circuit. There Is plenty
of room there for passing. Some
tracks don't have that room and

he stays there. But at Lanham
you can pass practically anywhere
on the track. We drivers like it
and I'm sure the customers like
1t, too," he said.
That's why you'll see some Of
the best drivers in the country at
Lanham this summer. You'll also

go to the cities and then you get
the third great class-ready brok-

become somewhat urbanized. They
are much more in touch with the
ideas of the world"
Continuing, Patton said, already,
there is emerging a fourth group,
also predominantly urban - teach
ers, ministers, doctors. business
men. Oh, they form what may be
called an African intelligentsia.
They read books and newspapers.
They know a great deal of what is
going on in the world.
"They provide the Political lead
ership. On the whole, they tend to
become <mbittered and to feel frus-
trated. And already there is ten
dency among them to look to them
selves for their own salvation and
even to scorn cooperation with
those white people who have al
ways devoted themselves for the
cause of their advancement"
Harking back to his original
theme of the fear the white South
African has for the black, Patton
concluded:
"The American negro. for his
numbers has produced far great
er proportion of eminent and dis
tinguished men. The reason for this
is, of course that there are not so
many barriers toward his advance
ment as in South Africa; and the
reason for that is of course, that
they constitute much smaller per-
centage of the population, and that
therefore the white American is
less afraid of according him these
privileges"

Mr. Williams, who together
with Alex Alderman, Jr. of Or
lando and Horace Hill of Day
tona Beach, served as defense
counsel for the Groveland trio,
discovered that Samuel Shepherd
and Walter Irwin were beaten and
abused by Lake County Sheriff
Willis Mccall following their con-
viction on trumped-up charges by
an all-white jury, on the night of
September 3. Shepherd and Irwin,
both %, were sentenced to death
and are being confined in the light
less death cell of the state peni-
tertiary, pending action on the
NAACP appeal filed in their be-
half. Charles Greenlee, 16, SEN
fenced to life Imprisonment, is
serving on a Florida chain gang.
Mr.. Williams indicated this week
that action on the appeal, filed
with the Florida Supreme Court,
is expected to take place within
the next sixty days. Reaffirm-
ing the intention Of the NAACP
to take every legal step possible
to secure freedom for the prison
ers, the NAACP attorney stressed
the urgent need for funds to help
the Association carry on the de-
Tense of these unfortunate victims
of a gross micarriage of justice"
Contributions to the Groveland
fund received thus far total &c.
294.63, the NAACP announced this
week. Of this amount, approx
mately $4,000 has been contributed
by NAACP branches, $500 by in
dividuals, and the remainder by
outside organizations and church
es. Attorneys estimate that the
total cost of the Groveland de-
Tense will reach $4,000.
