|OId Cars Resume Race, Plagued by Tires
BY the Associated Press

DETROIT, Sept. IL. - Still
plagued by tire troubles, two vim
tage autos wheezed out of Detroit
this morning enroute to Toledo,
next leg on their race eastward.
The two, gasoline e-engined
1911 Standardization driven by
Rube De Launty, 10, and a 1913
Stanley Steamer driven by Jack
Brause, 76, are racing from
Chicago to New York. They hope
to make Cleveland by tonight.
The start from Detroit was held
up this morning on several counts.
First of all, Mr.. Brause couldn't
find a proper funnel to pour
gasoline into his burner tank.
These old things take a half
day to start-just like modern
car" he exclaimed disgustedly.
Mr.. De I.aunty's right rear tire
was leaking at the rate of about
20 pounds of air every 10 minutes.
1t holds so pounds. An expert
was en- route to check the rim,
but hadn't arrived.
Many Stops Forecast.
So it was expected that the
filling station stops for air would
be quite frequent.
AS they left, Mr.. BrauSe taunted
Mr.. De Launty:
when do you think we'll get
out of here"
To this point, however, Mr.. De
Launty has the edge in the race.
Sponsoring officials figured it at
/ hour and IS minutes elapsed
time over Mr.. BrauSe, and his
Stanley Steamer.
From the Chicago start to De-
troit, Mr.. De Launty was timed
in 14:11. Mr.. Brause in 1916.
It's about 800 miles.
Taken to Heart by City.
Motor minded Detroit, where
the automobile was virtually born
and bred, took the elderly rivals
to its heart.
Anything that runs on wheels
is bound to be a fascination here.
But on this occasion-whoopS!
From the moment Mr.. BrauseI
and Mr.. De Launty chugged and
'putfed into the downtown traffic
whirlpool they were a show, In

Mcmillan Sees PROMPT
Action by D. {. Unit on
Teacher, Police Pay

Chairman Mcmillan of the
House District Committee gave as
SuranceS last night that his unit
will act promptly to grant a pay
raise to city police, firemen and
teachers to match whatever Con-
gresS approves for Government
classified workers.
He said such a bill will be in
troduced soon after today's re-
sumption of House sessions and
that he probably will call for a
meeting of the District Commit
tee sometime next week.
No Plans for Hearings.
There is no plan for hearings
on the bill, committee official
said, since it. was designed only
to follow the pattern laid down in
the Federal and District govern
ment classified service pay raise
moves.
District police. firemen and
teachers once were covered in a
House bill for the Federal pay
raise. but were eliminated on the
demand of some members that
the District Committee had juris-
diction.
Differences Cause Delay.
The separate District Commit
tee bill has been delayed because
of differences between House and
Senate bills as to how much Gov
ernment pay should be raised. An
early settlement of this issue is
expected.
The bill reported out of the
House Post Office and Civil Serv-
ice Committee calls for a fiat $400
pay raise for classified employees.
The Senate Committee has spon-
sored bills for an 8.4 per cent pay
boost for Government classified
workers. This now is awaiting ac-
tion by the Senate as soon as it
passes the armed services appro-
priation bill.

Uncle Rays Corner

Swimming is good sport, but let
every boy and girl, every man and
woman, remember this rule:
Swim safely so you will live to
swim another day"
Persons on a boat which overturns
are much better off if they know
how to swim In most cases, the
best thing to do is to swim back to
the boat. Most boats will float
even when they are turned with
bottomn side up. A boat which
floats upside down provides a
resting place while we wait for
help.
When boat turns over, far out
in deep water, good swimmers as
well as poor swimmers should use
the boats support. Too often it has
happened that a good swimmer
struck out for a distant shore and
failed to get there.
In the rare case of a small boat
sinking, a person should do his best
to grasp a floating object, as an oar
or a life preserver. If neither the
boat nor anything else is around to
give support, there is nothing left
to do but to head for shore, or to-
ward another boat, II there is one

Contract Bridge
By Culbertson

SOpyElgnt, 1901, py ELY CulbertSon.)
Every card played by an intelli-
gent bridge player has a meaning
either clear or subtle, and it is UP
to the partner to read the message
which is being sent. Let's translate
this generality into something
specifc-viz, the following hand:
East dealer, North-South vul-
nerable and 40 on score.

Pass club 1d'mond spade

Sd'monds 4 clubs Dble. Pass

The North-South 4O-score natu-
rally affected the bidding. West
not knowing how the auction would
develop or who would play the
hand, didn't want to jeopardize the
defense by overcalling one club with
one spade, thereby perhaps getting
a rulnouS spade lead if North be-
came the declarer, and so he chose
the better lead-directing bid of one
diamond. East used this overall as
the basis for some rather desperate
raising, and when South finally
reached the four level, West felt
that the time was ripe for double
If only to keep East from going
too far.
West opened the diamond king,
and declarer let him hold the trick.
West saw the danger and promptly
shifted to spades, leading the nine
of that suit instead of a low card.
East, however, read no significance
into the nine-Spot: he felt that by
putting up the ace he might give
the enemy two tricks in spade, and
so he contented himself with the
play of the ten.
When declarer took in his blank
queen Of spades he was, to all in
tents and purposes, home. The de-
tenders could get only one heart /
trick and one club.
East might have given more
thought to his partners selection of
the spade nine. South, by duck
ing the diamond opening, had
clearly shown two cards in the suit
and thus it was inconceivable that
he could have more than two
spades. Vests lead of the high
spade, Wien he so obviously had at
least four cards in the suit, could
mean only one thing-that he was
begging East to take the trick if |
he could, and not to read West for
the spade queen.

There is danger to the person who
tries to rescue, as well as to the
person who is on the point of drown
ing. We should think quickly and
correctly when danger arises Some
times it is a mistake for a person
to dive into the water to try to bring
about a rescue.
Let us suppose that a drowning
person is 20 feet from rowboat. In
that case it may be quicker to row
the boat to him than to swim to
him A rope or a life preserver may
be tossed to the person in trouble.
Sometimes it is possible to save him
by extending an oar for him to
grasp.
Any of those helps should be tried
at times, but there are cases in
which the best thing to do is for
a good swimmer to go to the rescue.
The quicknesS of your brain In tell
ing you what is best to do in q given
case may mean the difference Of
life, perhaps Of two lives.

Mr.. Caudle last night denied he

The Justice Department also
told The Star there is nothing in

another whether Mr.. Caudle had
been active in Democratic Party
politics either on the State level
or nationally"
While Mr.. Caudle never has
been considered a power in the
State political picture. according
to North Carolina sources, he
repeatedly campaigned vigorously
for President Truman's re-elec-
ton in 1948, and frequently was
called on to make speeches in the
South.
Mr. Caudle confirmed his &C.
tivity in the Presidents behalf,
and said his trips included three
separate speaking engagements in
Mississippi alone.

all the time" he said. II believed

In addition. stories circulated
in North Carolina that Mr.. Caudle
had considered running for Sena-
tor against Senator Hoey in 1850
and also had entertained ideas of
running for governor.
Mr.. Caudle said he never had
any part in the circulation of such
movements in North Carolina, and
took steps to stop them.
Il never ran for public office
in my life and I never will run for

his appointment as Assistant
Attorney General with Senators
Hoey and Bailey or ex-senator
Reynolds, Mr.. Caudle gave his ex-
planation of how he got the job:
CLARK called me one day over
the phone and stated-after he be-
came Attorney General moving
up from the criminal division)-
that he had thought through all
the United States Attorneys and
other friends and thought I was
fitted because I had so much trial
work and asked if I would accept
his invitation to become Assistant
Attorney General.
Il didn't solicit the position and
I was very much surprised"
Confirmed without Debate.
Later, he added:
"As I told Mr.. Clark one time. 1t
seemed to me like the wheel just
turned around and stopped on
me-"
In the interview, Mr.. Caudle said
his friendship with Mr.. Clark had
developed to the point that Mr..
Clark paid him a few social calls
in North Carolina, at least once
"for a deer hunt"
Mr.. Caudle said he believed Mr.
Clark wanted "some one from the
South" for the Justice Department
post. and added:
II believe he stated he would
like to have a United States At
Itorney with trial experience who
was not from a metropolitan
area"
