FINAL PLANS FOR HANDLING CROWD MADE Worley Orders Traffic Cops to Extend Courtesy to Visitors. The vanguard of Speedway race visitors arrived in Indianapolis today while hotels, restaurants, traffic police and transportation companies made preparations for handling the thousands who will crowd into the city Tuesday and early Wednesday morning. Hotels today reported many race guests. Most reservations are for Tuesday night, with many holding over for Wednesday night. The convention bureau of the Chamber of Commerce has compiled a list of private homes to which guests will be sent when the hotels are filled. Police Chief Claude M. Worley announced plans for handling the dense traffic Wednesday, and called upon traffic officers to extend utmost courtesy to visiting motorists. Sixteenth St., west of the White River Dd., will be open for westbound traffic only from 4 a. m. to 1. p. m. Wednesday. From 1 p. m. to 6 p. m. the road will be open only for east-bound traffic.

The Georgetown Rd. from Sixteenth St. to Thirtieth St. will be closed to both north and southbound traffic after 450 miles of the race have been run and will be used to empty auto traffic from the Speedway, one gate emptying traffic to the north and the other to the south. Special service to handle the throngs has been announced by the People’s Motor Coach Cos., the Indianapolis Street Railway Company and taxicab lines. The Big Four railroad today completed plans for operating its usual shuttle service from the city to the Speedway and return. * The Big Four special trains will leave the Union Station starting at 6:30 a. m.

ARM, Parachute 'jerked hni to ' ’ LIEUT' safe ty after he stalled STANLEY (JMSTEM) vainly bo jump •)

Flames—a diving plane—escape by parachute—these storied elements of near-tragic air drama came home with keenest vividness to Lieut. Stanley Umstead. Army airman, when he cheated death at Mitchel field. Long Island. His close call is sketched by Artist George Clark above. Flying upside down, Umstead felt drops of gasoline hitting his face. Swiftly he righted his plane—but flames burst from the motor, sorching him. Because of fire and smoke he couldn’t reach his fire extinguisher. The plane dived earthward. Umstead tried to jump. He couldn't. The “harness” of his parachute had caught in the cockpit. Desperately, Umstead pulled the “rip cord.” The parachute bloomed out behind him. He was jerked from his seat. The tail of the plane narrowly missed him as it shot by. Umstead floated safely down. The burning plane crashed a short distance away.

Bremen Fliers Scored £\v / jiited Per** NEW YORK. May 28.—’The first criticism to be voiced against the crew of the trans-Atlantic monoplane Bremen appears in the magazine Aviation. An editorial complains that Baron Gunther Von Huenefeld. Maj. James C. Fitzmaurice and Capt. Hermann Koehl did not show the proper concern for their plane after it became stranded on Greenly Island. “Instead of going back to their plane at the earliest opportunity,”' the editorial says, “the fliers started on a country-wide tour and left the task of removing the Bremen to the United States Government. “It is rather surprising that Gen. James E. Fechet, chief of the Army Air Corps, should take charge of what was nothing more than a rescue expedition. His position is one of great responsibility and his participation in such a venture does not seem necessary.’” Representatives of Von Huenefeld refused to comment on the editorial. Air Group to Organize Charter members of the newly formed Indianapolis branch of the National Aeronautical Association will meet tonight at the Armory to form a permanent organization. Maj.
