CLEVELAND AIR PAGEANT TURNS FINANCIAL FLOP Now Appears City Has Nice White Elephant Stuck on Its Hands. BY ERNIE PYLE Time* RtafT CorrupondMit CLEVELAND. Sept. 3—The luck of the national air races seems to have been run out! Wednesday the races were postponed for the first time in four years. It rained all day and it looks as if it might keep on raining. Furthermore, attendance at this year's show, now in its sixth day, has been very disappointing. The meet, unless something happens to bring out the crowds, is doomed to financial failure. The grandstands and bleachers on the huge Cleveland airport were built to accommodate about 60,000 persons. But the total attendance of all five days has not been more than 100,000. There are a number of reasons for the poor attendance. 1. General hard times. 2. The length of the meet, ten days, which many consider too long. 3. The rise of aviation out of the unusual into the common place, with a resultant tapering off in public enthusiasm. 4. The fact that Cleveland had the races two years ago, and the spectacle no longer is new to Clevelanders. 5. The lack of serious accidents so far. It Is sad, but true, that a fatal crash or two brings out the crowds m droves the following day. That was illustrated convincingly at Chicago last year. The national race meet has been awarded to Cleveland for the next four years, and there are many who wonder if the Cleveland business men who underwrote the project haven’t a white elephant on their hands. Some believe that in order to get sufficient patronage to cover expenses, the races must be held m a different place each year.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

Write’s Wrong By Unit'd Press DETROIT. Sept. 3.—A dirty slip of paper lay on the floor of a county jail corridor, midway between the ceils of Gerald Rallis. 30, and his pal, Vincent Mouillet, 34, charged with robbery. Rallis was straining to reach the 'lip when a jailer passed by and picked it up. It read: *TII take the rap for this. You stick to your story.” Asa result of the message, both will "take the rap” for theft of a $l5O diamond ring from E. C. Long, wealthy manufacturer. They confessed, police said.

MacDonald is determined to waste no time, and to keep the cabinet in session as much of the time as proves necessary. His decision to demand a vote of confidence on the first day of the special session follows the government’s desire to determine immediately the majority it may expect in voting on subsequent measures.
