I Rocket Propulsion i Test Held Tuesday Indianapolis, .May 22 —(UP)— . Opinions differed today on the . results and effects on racing of I i the first attempts at rocket pro- , pulsion of an automobile racer. , Duke Nalon, veteran race driver Who piloted the rocket u-qu Ipp <d car around the Indianapolis motor speedway track yesterday. . said the experiment wav a sue- < ess. He said the rockets added about 25 .M PH. to his speed when he set them off on straight stretches of the famous brick ' I oval. William 11. .Mason, assistant to the president of the General Tire and Rubber Company, Akron. ()., i which manufactures the rockets, egreed with Nalon. He said the Idea worked perfectly and predicted that more powerful rockets would be tested on cars al the . Utah salt flats. Nalon said he thought the for- 1 ward-thrusting power of the rock el would "revolutionise - ’ racing. He said two four-second rockets each increased his speed 25 M. P.IL to about 110 M.P.H, The first rocket, a two-second type, provided thrust of about 15 to 20 miles an hour, he said. Wilhur Shaw only three-time winner of the Indianapolis 500-1 mile race and president of the track, apparently voiced the opln-; ions of most of Nalon'* fellow drivers. He said he thought the added weight of the rockets would nullify any additional speed obtained. A contingent of newsreel camera men and some 3.000 fans wit-1 Fessed the demonstration and : si-w Nalon's fonr-cylinder super charged car “swoosh" ahead, leaving a long cloud of white smoke i behind each time he set off a I rocket, 20-Nalion Council For Food Proposed I —.

Sheriff George Michelfelder, 45. his bride of a month. Mary, 40, i and Mrs. Bernice Maker, 30, a widow, were indicted yesterday by the Hamilton county grand jury. Thomas Rigdon, 28, a prisoner, was named defendant on the rape ' charge. The three girls, all 14 years old, i allegedly were allowed to visit prisoners in their ceils at the county jail t each afternoon. The i grand jury charged that the girls j stopped by the jail on their way home from high school, and frequently stayed with prisoners for sevwal hours. Rigdon, who, is married and is i serving a vagrancy sentence, wasl the only prisoner named in the Indictment. Judge Cassius M. Gentry. however, said that "three or | four other prisoners might have been Involved.” The sheriff and his wife denied any guilt and said there had been no rape. "I'll fight this to the supreme court," Sheriff Michelfelder said. "There's nothing wrong with allowing visitors." Under Indiana law, the sheriff must be arrested by the county coroner. Coroner C. M.

Wyoming’s State Commissioner of Education Ray E. Roherson estimates that 25 percent of the ' state's present staff of teachers is teaching on temporary war entergency certificates. O' O — o Today's Sports Parade By Oscar Fralay Reg U. 8. Pat. Off.) 0 0 New York. May 22 -(UP)-The finger of suspicion was pointed today at skeptical Dick Burton as I ■ the British open golf champion 'came bouncing over the Atlantic* to iM-rsonally represent his challenge to the low scores being posted by American golfers. Burton, who will tackle Byron' Nelson In a special match precedI Ing and during next week's Goodall round robin tournament, asserted In no uncertain terms that the Yanks of a certainty must be I teeing up In the fairway or “using trick clubs in half sizes like hats.” So Burton, in the first tourna ! ment round since being discharged us an RAF captain, went out I and shot a 68. Shame! Two Bsitlsh newspapermen herc| to cover the Nelson-Burton go ut! Newton, Mass., May 29 and the, Goodall storting the 30th nt .Mam aroneck's Winged Foot course.! made the startling disclosure. They also revealed that Burton, a tall, wiry belter, had been an international player since 1934 and assuredly would be no pushover for laird Byron. As a matter of fact, Nelson simply was an assistant pro watching from the sidelines when Burton played in the Ridgewood, N. J., (’. ('., Ryder cup matches in 1935 "Burton has iieen a member of England's hlg four consistently for 12 years,” proudly proclaimed' George Harrison of Britain's news of the week. Harrison explained that Burton ' went into the British army a month after winning the open In! | 1939 where he br»at Johnny Bulla j Os Chicago by one strake and rose to the rank of captain in the Middle East and African campaigns. That's when Harrison dis- | closed that, after six years In the army. Burton came marching homo and fired his 68. Frank Rostron of the Ixindon Daily Express, a war correspondent, who flew in from Java to cover the sad American debut of British Empire heavyweight champion Bruce Woodcock against Tami .Maarivilo. also carried the ball for Burton. I "He has great competitive temperament and is a bold player,”! Rostron said. "In the final hole of the British open he needed a three to win, and so holed a 25-foot putt : for victory. He Is unruffled by crowds and hits a long tee shot, but Is better on his approaches." A survey of the records reveal that the one-time textile mill worker was picked on the English team for international matches with Ireland and Scotland in 1934, 1936 and 1937. When Nolson saw him in the 1935 Ryder cup matches Burton was losing to Paul Rnnyan. then at his peak. He also was beaten by San Snead, 4 and 5 in 1937. That year, however. Burton and Percy Alliss scored one of the greatest upsets in golf history. John Revolts and Henry Picard were regarded as the greatest match play duo in competition, having captured three Miami in-' vitatlon four-bali matches and the Inverness tournament without the! loss of a match. Burton and Allis ! defeated them. 2 and 1. But despite this buildup, Burton will need all his skill -plus some of those criticized American low —_—
