Diesel-Engined Racer Molds Speedway Spot No More Is ‘Five Century’ the ‘Gasoline Derby’: Oil Burning Car to Make First Appearance in American Grand Prix. BY NORMAN E. ISAACS Those who think of little but automobile racing already are making predictions concerning the 500-mile race to be run here May 30, and there Is a well-founded rumor making the rounds that the full allotment of forty cars will line up on Decoration day for the long grind. It seems that every race driver and his uncle will be here for the American Grand Prix, and it is said that perhaps as many as fifty cars will attempt to win places in the starting lineup in what once was the “Gasoline Derby.” Forty will be allowed to start—if they make the qualification grade. The car that robs the race of its “gasoline derby” tag is C. L. Cummins' Diesel-engined Job. When tested at Daytona Beach the car attained 100.772 miles an hour and Cummins hopes to show it off to even better advantage in the Five Century.

If Cummins’ “boat” can finish the grind it will have done something hundreds of high-powered race cars never have done and it will be catapulted Into the national spotlight. Among automotive experts it frequently has been said that the Diesel car may be the coming thing. Its cheapness of operation and its fine all-around performances have made It one of the most talkcd-of creations in automobile history. August Duesenberg and Cummins adapted the Diesel engine to a racing car and It is nearly twice as large as the conventional gasoline job. It carries sufficient power in crude oil to run non-stop for 1,200 miles at 100 miles an hour. No ignition system is used, the heat, of compression firing the fuel. The fuel tank holds forty-seven gallons of crude oil and 1 the radiator holds forty-two quarts of water. Furthermore it has four cylinders, Is 16te feet long and nearly four feet high, has a piston displacement of about 366 cubic inches and cost 815,000 to build. Under ordinary conditions mileage is forty miles to the gallon and at 100 miles an hour It. consumes a gallon to every twenty-five miles. Cummins lives at, Columbus, Ind., and has a long record of developing Diesel engines to new uses. A timely note na. sounded by Setb Klein, the emia! starter in qualifications and generalissimo of the flag wavers on race day, when be announced that he will be here for his usual job, although he no longer makes Indianapolis his home. Beth’s present headquarters are in Buffalo. It may sound like advertising, but It irrallv Isn’t The American Automobile Association's new official publication, “Holiday.” is one of the finest magazines Placed on the market. It’s a knockout. Stephen Jerome Hannagan, the famous one, who directs the publicity coming from the Speedway, popped back into town the other day to shake the hands of his newspaper friends. “Where’s Chuck Wiggins?” asked Steve. “Chuck was caught driving recklessly,” explained your correspondent dolefully, “and he’s in again." And off to the county jail scurried Hannagan.

OPEN season for gutta percha hunting is here. Patronage at local links the past winter, also attendance at indoor golf schools would prompt one to ask the question, “Is there a closed season for following the little white pellet?” We feel, however, that when the women take to the great out of doors for their opening spring tournaments, the season is on for sure. * Shooting Par makes season debut today to publish the results of the opening day, blind par event at Avalon Country Club, Tuesday. Today the women at Highland Country Club engaged in the first tournament of their season. From here on this column will be devoted mostly to the publication of results and programs of anticipated or scheduled events, the doings of the duffers. * ts tt tt THE season got off with a bang at Avalon. Nineteen women took part in the first event of the year and Mrs. E. D. Lukenbill won the event by hitting blind par exactly with an 80. Mrs. Herman Sielken and Mrs. Earl Fortney were tied for second place honors, and in the play-off Mrs. Fortney won. The nine-hole tournament was won by Mrs. H. S. Osborne. Next tournament will be April 21, when a selective hole event will be played, beginning at 8:30. tt a o Hole-in-one shooters naturally will get a line or two of bold-face type, because “ace” shots, even though they are becoming common, still a thrill for the shooter that can not be duplicated short of another hole in one shot by the same person. The Times does not offer a list of prizes lor “ace” shots, but will do so as soon as a national list is compiled. tt tt o As usual. Shooting Par, will conduct ft* annual Interscholastic golf tournament during the last week of school beginning about June 10. It is planned to conduct a tournament for grade school boys this year. In the past, grade school boys have competed right along with the high school boys. Some grade school lads are expected to prefer the major tournament play again this year, tut that will be optional with the boy. tt a o Indianapolis will be the scene of at least one major state tournament this season. The Indiana women's state championship is carded for Avalon in July. There is a possibility of another major event, either the state junior tournament or the men’s state tournament being held in this city this season. a tt a WE are informed by Cliff Wagoner, secretary of the Indianapolis District Golf Association, that the annual district tournament, which is, in substance, the city tournament for men, will be held the third week in June over Meridian Hills, Broadmoor or Highland and the Indianapolis Country Club. tt st The handicapping system for this tournament has long been a sore spot. Last year there was some talk of a uniform handicapping system. Borne mention of it was made bv individual clubs this spring. We understand there has been some opposition. too. The argument appears near at end. we are informed, because Indianapolis District Association directors already have voted in favor of a uniform handicapping system, which will apply to all their tournaments, also all the clubs that belong to the association. So that ends the argument.

NE W ECONOMIC SE T- UP UR GED B Y SCRIPPS

New York Board of Trade Is Given Publisher’s Views on Utilization of Science and the Machine*by Democracy.

Following is the address on “Can Democracy Utilize Science and the MachineV* delivered before the New York Board of Trade today by Robert P. Scripps, editorial director of the ScrippsHaward newspapers. I recently have met with skepticism in trying to tell friends of mine who call themselves liberals, or progressives, or in some cases radicals, that many man whom they classify as belonging to “the big business crowd” are as much dissatisfied with our present economic setup as they are themselves—and equally determined to attempt to do something constructive about it. However, two things have happened recently that make me feel very sure of myself on this point. And one of them is the letters I have received inviting me to address you on this occasion. In his letter, your chairman, Mr. Roe, said: “We are discovering that sentimentality, emotions and smug complacency are weak foundations on which to build national prosperity.” “To recognize that the world is poor, and that there is much suffering caused directly by overproduction, no longer is a radical theory. To give unemployment insurance the nickname of 'dole’ is an inadequate manner of arriving at a determination.” • In another letter your general manager, Mr. Griffith, said: “I have been directed specifically to state that our platform is opened to you with fullest freedom. The Board of Trade prides itself upon its ability to face facts.” In other words, the bars are down, even to a Bolshevist propaganda speech, assuming that I wanted to make one, which I certainly do not. This, I say, is progress in itself.

Try to Find Solution

The second thing that bolstered up my confidence in the view that business is not inclined simply to be blind and dumb in this emergency—not inclined to be satisfied with mere temporary relief measures—was the speech made by the president of one of our great railroads, Daniel Willard of the B. & 0., at Philadelphia on March 27. Mr. Willard said. “Our system, which makes it possible for six million able-bodied men to be out of work, and unable to secure work, can not be called satisfactory.” He said it might collapse. But he added that he did not think it would. He did not think so because he felt, he said, that “a way will be found to perfect, and to preserve, the system.” I am not so sure as Mr. Willard that a way will be found, soon enough, to perfect and preserve our system. But I am sure of at least two things: First, that we are going to have a serious try at it. Second, that - American leadership of the non-political kind—that is outside of the bureaus and departments at Washington and in our state capitals—l mean financial, industrial, commercial, even journalistic leadership, can marshal brains and determination enough, once the seriousness of the situation is realized, to give us better than an even chance of accomplishment of our objective.

Capitalism Is the Child

Mr. Willard has stated the objective —the preservation of what he calls the capitalistic system. Right here I better would state the quarrel that I have with that phraseology’. It seems to me that capitalsim as we know it is simply the child—simply a part of—a much larger social scheme, the Democratic scheme, or system. If anything is challenged today, it is not simply an isolated capitalism—it is democracy itself. It is the freedom of men to speak, to write, to build things and to trade in commodities, as they like, and without undue governmental regulation, that is challenged, alike today in Italy and in Russia. It is this freedom in which I, as a journalist, you as an industrialist, somebody else as an independent politician, have a special common stake, that is challenged. I think we make a great mistake when, as so often happens, we assume that it is the workingman to whom democratic ideals should be particularly dear. It is very little that the workingman, who is not author, nor orator, and not industrial enterpreneur, gives up in exchange for at least promised security when he accepts a Stalin or a Mussolini dictatorship. It is our jobs, our life work, that we sacrifice. A few years ago it seemed to be a fashion for business leaders to sigh for an American Mussolini. Believe me, those business leaders had not been on the taxpaying end of Italian business, or seen a rival enjoy special advantage because he had married somebody's pet cousin.

Our System Challenged

It still is the fashion for idealistic writers and political agitators to praise the Soviet regime. And, believe me, they have not had complete experience, either. They have not had experience ■with the Soviet censorship. But what is it that really challenges our system—democratic, or capitalistic, or whatever you want to call It? Is it really something foreign, like Russian or Italian social and economic plans, that looms large, perhaps simply because they are the only plans, alternate to our own. now in process of demonstration? Or isn’t it something inherent in our own domestic operation—inherent probably in the domestic economy of every highly’ civilized, and industrialized country in the world? I think the latter is the case, and I will attempt to explain why I think so. It seems apparent to me that in America, and throughout the highly civilized pan of the world, the outstanding economic fact of our time is just this; That the potential per

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

capita production of the individual worker is increasing much more rapidly than is population. This has been brought about by application of science to industry—scientific organization as well as new mechanical inventions. In America, since at least 1910, although lack of statistics makes it impossible to fix any date accurately, the pace of science has been an accelerating one, while the rate of population growth has decelerated, until it now tends toward absolute stability. Blind to Turn of Events I think we all have been quite naturally blinded to the significance of these facts by events. Before we got into it. and for some time after it was over, the great waste of war in Europe employed so much of our productive capacity*that no calculation based on normality was possible. Prior to the actual turn of the tide —I mean prior to the time when increasing productive capacity started to outrun population growth —we thought in terms of undeveloped natural resources —of cheap minerals, cheap water power, somewhere out west. But science increases the yield to the acre, the yield to the ton of ore, as well as it does the yield of a man's labor. I happen to have been born in California, and as there are two Scripps-Howard newspapers there, I visit the state frequently. Perfectly good cattle lands out there are worth less today than they were when I was a boy, because improved methods have made it unnecessary to use as much land in production of a ton of beef as the ranchers used to use. Without a marked increase in consumption of beef, no sane man is going to touch those abandoned California cattle ranches. They are offered as a gift. This exposition of the futility of our undeveloped resources as an economic panacea can be carried out along lines so numerous that we all would be here until dinner time, and, anyway, one example is enough to develop the thought.

Limit to Trade Expansion

But here is one other thing that is worth considering in this connection. The British empire—not England, but the whole empire—was economically sick before we were. And on a per capita basis, our undeveloped resources are small as. compared with those of the empire. Even until very recently, still I think largely because of the disturbance of war, our foreign trade was expanding mightly. And the end to this expansion was not conceived of. Yet it must be true that, beyond a logical limit, expansion of foreign trade is impossible. We can not base our foreign trade expectations on an over-expanding market among so-called backward peoples. When enough people in the Argentine learn about wearing shoes, a shoe factory in that country results. No sooner had the cotton spinners of Manchester, England, taught the people of India generally to wear cotton print clothes than Bombay replaced that city as the capital of the industry.

Look Within Own Borders

I do not want to be misunderstood here as minimizing the importance of the foreign trade that logically should be ours; nor as minimizing the gravity of the evil of blindly executed tariff laws which interfere with and unnaturally restrict such trade. In no sense do I withdraw from the editorial position taken by the Telegram now the World Telegram—and other Scripps-Howard newspapers with respect to the Hawley-Smoot tariff bill. But no nation can be wholly prosperous on the basis of foreign trade alone. The whole point I am trying to make is that we must look first inside our own borders, and at something else besides our vacant lands and untouched coal and iron reserves, if we are going so to order our production and commodity distribution as to provide social security for all our people. In the light of all the facts, which seem inescapable, this conclusion seems inevitable, that unless we are going to break up the machines, put the scientist in jail, and generally try to make our clocks run in reverse. the only balance to increased potential per capita production can be increased per capita spending or leisure, or a combination of both. Such increased spending can be achieved in one. or both, of two ways. The simplest plan might be just greatly increased, and continuously increasing, hourly wages for labor.

Business Must Be Unit

But no great stride along this line can be taken if all industry and business does not move as a unit. Some agency must be set up to insure that when “A” starts out on such course, “B” does not lag behir and and appropriate “A’s” profits before he knows it. I would like to suggest that perhaps you have here in this organiza-

tion the makings of such a regulating agency, to become perhaps the first one of many such agencies. The second plan that I have in mind is expenditure of large sums on carefully thought-out public works programs, for, of course, the public benefit. With the wealth that we have at our disposal, there is no reason why every highway in America should not be perfect and beautiful; why each of our great cities should not be, in its entirety, a second Athens, if you please; why vacant lands throughout our states should not become great natural parks. I always have had difficulty in understanding why citizens of rich New York, or rich Cleveland, or San Francisco, should feel called upon to visit comparatively poor Munich, or Copenhagen, to admire something fine in the way of city planning and civic enterprise. Democracy on Trial But I have not come here with any ready-made scheme. I mentioned a few minutes ago what I

Official Marble Tourney Rules

The official game of the National Marble Tournament is RINGER. RINGER is played in a Ring ten (10) feet in diameter, with thirteen (13) marbles arranged in the center in a cross. The object is to shoot these marbles out of the Ring, the player shooting the largest number of marbles out of the Ring in any game being the winner of that game. No less than two and no more chan six may play in one game in RINGER, except that in national championship matches two only play. In preliminary eliminations. as many as six may play-in one game. All tournament play is for fair, and marbles must be returned to the owners after each game. Rule I—Equipment Sec. I—The playing surface shall be a smooth level area of ground, hard clay, or other suitable substance. The Ring is inscribed upon this area, ten feet in diameter, and all play is within this ring. (Note: The outline of this Ring shall not be so deep or so wide as to check the roll of a marble.) Sec. 2.—With the center of the Ring as a point of intersection, mark two lines at right angles to each other to form a cross, which shall be a guide for placing the playing marbles. Place one marble at the center and three on each of the four branches of the cross, each marble three inches away from the next one. Sec. 3 —Tlie Lag Line is a straight line drawn tangent to the Ring, and touching it at one point. The Pitch Line is a straight line drawn tangent to the Ring, directly opposite and parallel to the Lag Line. Sec. 4.—Playing marbles shall be round and made of clay. All marbles in any one playing ring must be of uniform size. The standard size shall be five-eights inch in diameter. Slight variation may be allowed by the referee for manufacturing fault. Sec. s—Shooters shall be round and made of any substance, except steel or any other metal, and shall be not less than one-half inch nor more than six-eights inch in diameter, as determined by the referee.

Rule II —Plan of Play

Sec. I—The Lag is the first operation in RINGER. To lag, the players stand toeing the Pitch Line, or knuckling down upon it, and toss or shoot their shooters to the Lag line across the Ring. The player whose Shooter comes nearest the Lag Line, on either side, wins the lag. Sec. 2 —Players must lag before each game. The player who wins the lag shoots first, and the others follow In order as their Shooters were next nearest the Lag Line. The same Shooter that is used in the lag must be used in the game following the lag. Sec. 3—On all shots, except the lag, a player shall knuckle down so that at least one knuckle is in contact with the ground, and he shall maintain this position until the Shooter has left his hand. Knuckling down is permitted, but not required, in lagging. Sec. 4 —Starting the game, each player in turn shall knuckle down just outside the Ring Line, at any point he chooses, and shoot into the Ring to knock one or more marbles out of the Ring, or to hit or knock out of the Ring the Shooter of an opposing player, or players, if any remain inside the Ring. Sec. 5—A player continues to shoot when he knocks one or more marbles out of the Ring or hits the Shooter of an opponent or knocks an opponent’s Shooter out of the Ring—provided his Shooter remains inside the Ring. When a player’s shooter pases outside the Ring, whether or not he has scored on the shot, he shall cease to shoot, but he shall be credited with the marbles he has %pored. Sec. 6—ls, after a miss, a player's Shooter remains inside the Ring, he must leave it there and his opponents are permitted to shoot at it. If the Shooter rolls outside the Ring, he picks it up and on his next shot is permitted to take roundsters and

thought of as the outstanding economic fact of our generation—the fact of increasing per capita production with a population tending toward stability. I think the fact presents one outstanding political, or social, question: Can democracy, as an institution, thoroughly, and in the interests of all our people, exploit science and the machine? So far, it obviously hasn't. But so far, perhaps, there has not been adequate recognition of what the question really implies. It seems to me that the clear implication is. that if democracy can not be made to work efficiently, toward the end of complete and thorough exploitation of science and machinery, in the interests of all, not just a few. of our people then that such exploitation will take place anyway—in other words, that it will be the temper of oui people to try something different from democracy. It would be folly to underestimate the voting strength of the millions whose lives are disrupted seriously by depressions like the present one, and of the other millions whose sympathies are enlisted by their suffering, or who feel perhaps that they may be the unlucky ones next time.

shoot from any point on the Ring Line. Rule III —Play Regulation Sec. I.—Marbles knocked out of the Ring shall be picked up by the player who knocks them out. Sec. 2.—Whenever a marble or Shooter comes to rest on the Ring Line, if its center is outside the Ring, or exactly on the Ring Line, it shall be considered out of the Ring. If its center is inside the Ring, it shall be considered in the Ring. Sec. 3.—A player hitting an opponent’s Shooter inside the Ring, but not knocking it out, shall pick up any marble he chooses, and shall proceed to shoot. However, he shall not hit the same opponent’s Shooter again until after he hits another Shooter, or knocks a marble out of the Ring, or he comes around to his next turn to shoot. Sec. 4.—A player knocking an opponent’s Shooter out of the Ring shall be entitled to all the marbles won by that opponent, and the opponent whose Shooter has been knocked out of the Ring is out of the game, “killed.” If the opponent who was knocked out of the Ring has no marbles, the player who knocked him out shall not be entitled to pick. up a marble for the shot. Sev. s.—ls a shooter knocks out two or more marbles, or hits an opponent’s Shooter, and a marble, or hits two opponents’ Shooters, or completes any other combination play, he shall be entitled to all the points scored on the shot. Sec. 6. —When a Shooter slips from a player’s hand, if the player calls “slips” and the referee is convinced that it is a slip, and if the Shooter did not travel more than ten inches, the referee may order “no play” and permit the player to shoot again. The referee’s decision is final. Sec. 7.—The game shall end when the last marble is shot out.

Rule IV —Scoring

Sec. I—For each marble knocked out by a player, he shall be credited with the score of ONE. Sec. 2—For each time a player hits the shooter of an opponent, and does not knock it out of the Ring, he shall be credited with the score of ONE. Sec. 3—For each time a player knocks an opponent’s shooter out of the Ring, he shall be credited with I all the marbles previously scored by the hit opponent. Sec. 4—The player having credited to him the largest number of marbles at the completion of the ; game shall be the winner of that ! game. Sec. s—ln games where more than • two players are engaged, if two or i more players lead with the same score, those in the tie shall play a ; new game to break the tie. Sec. 6—A player refusing to continue a game, once it is started, ; shall be disqualified, and if only | two players are engaged, the game j shall be forefeited to the offended ; player. i Sec. 7—The score of a forfeited ! game shall be 13 to 0. Rule V—Officials Sec. 1— I foie officials shall be a ; referee and a scorer, if a scorer is j available, otherwise the refree shall keep score. Sec. 2—The referee shall have i complete charge of the play. He shall interpret these rules and have , power to make decisions on any points ’not specifically covered by I these rules. He shall have author - j ity to disqualify any players for ! unsportsmanlike conduct. He shall ! have authority to order from the 1 playing field, or its vicinity, the j coach or other representative of any player who conducts himself imi properly. Sec. 3—The scorer shall keep a ! record of the game, marking score of each player, shot by shot, and at the termination of each game shall notify the referee of the socre, and Che referee shall announce the winner. The scorer shall assist the referee in enforcing the rule against coaching, and call to the attention of the referee any infraction of the rules. / Rule VI —Penalties A PLAYER SHALL NOT— Sec. I—Lift his hand until the Shooter has left his hand. This violation is known as “histing.” Sec. 2—Move his hand forward until the Shooter has left his hand. This violation is known as “hunching.” Sec. 3—Smooth or otherwise rearrange the ground, or remove any obstacles. He may request the referee to clear obstructions. FENALTY: If any marbles were knocked out or, dislocated on the shot, they restored to their place, and the player shall lose his shot. '

| Do-Nothing Policy Hit The idea of a “next time” is fostered by complacent economists, who say that depressions are cyclical, and thereby imply that they are inevitable, and that there is nothing much to be done about them. I said a minute ago that the great European experiments in dictatorship at least promise continuous employment and social security for the masses. This is their chief appeal, and its force, especially to the man out of a job, is plain. It also is plain that the do-noth-ing school of economy, whose only promise is a continuous series of future depressions and unemployment crises, does nothing to weaken this appeal, but strengthens it. Our whole hope lies perhaps in the fact that we do not accept doctrine of economic predetermination: that we do not believe that the democratic-capitalistic scheme of things necessarily is a chaotic one, in the economic or any other sphere; that when the machinery starts to creak and groan, indicating that major readjustment is called for, we can sense the trouble,

Sec. 4—Change Shooters during the course of the game. He may choose anew Shooter on each lag. provided he uses that Shooter in the subsequent game. PENALTY: The player shall be disqualified from the game. Sec. s—Communicate in any way with his coach during the course of the game. PENALTY: Forfeiture of all marbles he has knocked out of the Ring, and marbles to b? returned to the game, and placed on the cross. Sec. 6—A coach shall not give instructions to either his own or any other player engaged in the game. PENALTY: Coach shall be ordered from the playing field, if, after being warned once, he continues this violation. Sec. 7—Players must not walk through the marble Ring. PENALTY: After a player has been warned for violation, the referee MAY require the forfeiture of one marble, on a second offense, said marble to be returned to the Ring and placed on the cross.

If it is true that to function our democratic society must to some ex- | tent be remade, then I think that [the more action we can get unoffi- ! cially, and outside of the political I structure, the better off we will be | in the long run.

CHANGE REPORT ON AIR TRAGEDY Ice on Plane. Probers Say. Killed Rockne, 7 Others. By United Pres* WASHINGTON, April B.—The department of commerce has reversed itself on the cause of the plane crash a week ago in which Knute K. Rockne and seven others were killed. Previously, investigators for the department had concluded that a broken propeller was responsible! Part of their evidence in support of this theory was the fact that the propeller could not be found after the crash. The propeller has been found beneath the wreckage and department experts now hold to the theory that ice, forming on the plane while the pilot was trying to gain altitude, disabled its instruments and caused a steep dive and the resulting pressure tearing off a wing.
