Plan Successor To AAA Contest Board INDIANAPOLIS (INS) —The backers of the international motor racing classic— the Memorial Day 500 mile race at Indianapolis — hr;ve set in motion a movement to organize a successor to the AAA contest board. Totly Hulmhn, Jr., owner of the Indianapolis Motor Speedway, laid that a meeting will be held in Indianapolis Aug. 10 as a first step toward formation of a new organization to take over the racing supervisory duties so suddenly dumped by the AAA. Hulman explained: “No attempt will be made to extend a personal invitation to auvone but we expect a representative turn-out from every section of the country.” Hulman added that the 500 mile race will be run again as scheduled for the 40th time May 30, 1956, and said: “Racing is sure to continue as it has for the la«t 54 years and we are hopeful that a new organizstiou.: will be formed which will enhance the future of competitive racing for everyone.” The meeting Wednesday is to be in the auditorium of the Indiana state board of health. Anyone affected by the departure of the AAA from supervision of racing may attend. The AAA ends its contest board activities in the racing field Dec. 31, 1955. The move was seen as giving the drivers and car owners a chance for greater control over the rules affecting their affairs. 1954 Grains Under Price Support Loans As of May 31 Indiana farmers had put 16.675,618 bushels of their 1954 corn crop under price-sup-port loans and purchase agreements, Oscar T.
