WORLD AFFAIRS WILL BE INSTITUTE TOPIC Meeting Will Be Held This Summer in Austrian Alps. i?t/ Scripps-llotcard Xetcspaper Alliance WASHINGTON. May 29—“ Because no nation can live and prosper unto itself alone.” William H. Stephenson, executive secretary of the Mondsee International Foundation, declared, "world statesmanship has become one of the imperative needs of the times.” No generation in recorded history, he observed, has been in more critical need of better international understanding than our own. The solutions of some of our most serious problems must be sought without reference to frontiers. Accordingly an institute of world affairs is to be held this summer at Mondsee in the Austrian Alps and in the very heart of Europe, one hour out of Salzburg and three hours from Vienna. While it will follow the general idea of the Williamstown institute of politics and similar gatherings, it is announced, it plans to broaden its etfect by affording participants a chance to study foreign problems on the spot. The 1933 session. Stephenson declared. will begin July 1 and last until Aug. 25.

FULL FIELD OF 42 Wl LLST ART 46 Racers Pass in Trials; Four Eliminated: Two Die in Crash. (Continued From Page One) ing ambulance and Hurst in the admitting room. Denver’s neck had been broken and Hurst’s skull fractured A few minutes after the accident, a half dozen cars were on the track, the drivers setting high speeds in their attempts to break into the starting lineup. The race Tuesday bears every indication of being the fastest ever run here. The six fastest cars in this year's race all are faster than the fastest machine last year and all the first five rows all bear cars capable of speeds exceeding 113 miles an hour. Records May Fall Twenty-five of the forty-two cars in the lineup have surpassed 112 miles an hour and experts predict that every record ever set in the 500mile race probably will be smashed. Sitting on the pole position in the first row Tuesday will be "Wild Bill” Cummings, Indianapolis star, who drove his Boyle Products eight to a new one-lap track record for twoman cars on the first day of qualification. His speed for the ten-lap qualification was 118.521 miles an hour. His new track record was 120.919 miles an hour. Seated on the No. 2 and No. 3 positions in the first row will be Frank Brisko. the Milwaukee garage owner, who will drive a Four-Wheel-Drive Special, which he qualified at 118.388 miles an hour, and Fred Frame, winner of the 1932 race, who qualified the Miller-Hartz speed creation at 117.874 miles an hour. 125,000 to Attend More than 125.000 persons are expected to be at the track when the cars roll to the starting line at 10 sharp in the morning. Two minutes later, the full field will sweep down the front stretch and the pace car will pull aside to let the racers roar around the track in the world's greatest automobile race. Four accidents, including Sunday's tragedy, marred the qualifications. Aspen's crash was followed by the serious injury of Bill <Speed' Gardner in a qualification run when his car crashed on the northwest turn, and twenty-four hours later Virgil Livengood's machine dived over the wall at the same spot. Livengood and his mechanic were not injured.

Heiress Enjoys Abduction; $30,000 Ransom Is Paid

By United Press KANSAS CITY. Mo.. May 29. Romantic sentiment intruded today as a possible obstacle to the prosecution of kidnapers who held Miss Mary McElroy captive for twentynine hours, and collected $30.0*00 ransom. The 25-year-old daughter of Judge H. F. McElroy. wealthy, powerful city manager of Kansas City, Mo., told reporters: "I don't think I'd like to see any of these men go to the penitentiary.” Explaining her attitude. Miss McElroy termed her kidnaping a “great experience” and added: “I don’t hold any malice against the men. I really like one, a young Irishman, awfully well. They treated me with the utmost courtesy and consideration." Miss McElroy's release shortly after her Father and brother, Henry, met the kidnapers on a little-used road in Wyandotte county, Kansas,

Death Strikes, But Race at Speedway Goes On

Two Hurled to Doom as Car Plunges Over Track Wall. (Continued From Page One)

tain, making no attempt to conceal his concern. x x n CAR NO. 42, motor primed, rolled up to the starting line. Bill Denver of Audubon. Pa., the driver, sat at the wheel, smiling, waiting for the signal to go. At his side sat Bob Hurst of Indianapolis, mechanic, adjusting his goggles. This w'as a great day for young Bob Hurst; he had got the job as Denver's mechanic in competition with three other men. Denver held his left arm in a stiff, awkward position. When you asked about that, you learned it was partly paralyzed. But that hadn’t seemed to handicap him as a driver. On the dirt tracks he had won several races. Always he had been looked on as a dangerous competitor—a chance-taker, but nobody’s fool. With a thunderous roar and in an explosion of smoke, car No. 42 got away. The day was fading and the sun had begun to sink back of the tall maples that fringe the track. Some of the customers were leaving. The car shot past the grand stand. A few seconds later it was streaking down the back stretch. To all appearances it was just another car trying to qualify. There was no sense of impending tragedy, no way to tell that there was a third, unseen, passenger in the car. In these tilings there are no formal announcements. Death carries no calling card. x x x COMING out of the turn at the end of the back stretch car No. 42 was seen to swerve slightly, skid and then turn completely around. “Gabriel’s got him,’’ commented an old timer. This is a track phrase meaning that your fate is in the laps of the gods, that there is nothing you can-do to help yourself, that if you come out of it all right the angels are with you. The angels weren't with Bill Denver and Bob Hurst Sunday. When ear No. 42 came out of its spin, it headed directly for the concrete guard rail at the top of the banked turn, went over, described a loop the loop in the air, and disappeared from sight. That was the earthly end of Bill Denver and Bob Hurst. One of them was picked up dead. The other died a few minutes later. You found yourself strangely awed at the swiftness with which these two lives were snuffed out. Less than a minute before you had seen them at the starting line, youthful, smiling, eager for the word “go.” And now they were dead. XXX AND still everything else was unchanged. The thousands sat in the stands. The vendors plied their trade. The corn-fed maidens in dimities gurgled and giggled. The tali maples nodded in the heavy heat. The softspoken war hero dabbed his forehead nervously with a handkerchief and murmured, “the poor devils.” Death had come and gone, as it often does to this shrine of speed. Nobody seems to mind it a great deal, and least of all the men who gamble with their lives. They seem to accept death a casual inevitability. Only they never call it that. Always it is ’’racing luck.” and either you have it or you don’t. There is no record of the track fatalities. But you know fz-om years of reading that the number

Sunday, was the first public intimation of the perfectly staged abduction. Two men forced their way into the McElroy mansion about noon Saturday, found the heiress bathing. ordered her to dress, and fled with her. Sunday morning negotiations were completed. With two sawed-off shotguns trained on him, Judge McElroy handed over the unmarked and unrecorded money, and the two abductors sped away. Almost immediately Miss McElroy was released from an automobile in front of the Milburn Country Club, and a few minutes later she was home, gushing a romantic tale of her “great experience.” When the ransom was paid, she said, the bandit leader had tears in his eves as he assured her she soon would be back w ixJa her parents. “I told them it t’as the nicest ride I ever had." she concluded.

is not insignificant. Most of the fatalities occur in the qualifying trials. There have not been many deaths in the race itself. Curiously it is the threat of death that lures a big part of the vast crowd which annually attends the event. There will be more than 100,000 spectators at the speedway Tuesday. XXX 1 ALWAYS have contended that no sport' is worth a man’s life. And yet this is plainly something more than a sport. It is the laboratory of the automobile industry. It is in these races that most of the innovations and refinements of the modern motor car are born. There is only one way they can be put to a practical test, and that is on the track. I suppose it is true that there is something majestic about men who die that others may live in comfort or at all, but that scarcely makes them any less dead, does it?

SLOT MACHINE RINOCHARGED Armitages, City Politicians Are Named by Police Chief, on Stand. (Continued From Page One) the temporary order is dissolved at date set for hearing, but insisted there had been an “agreement” to contiue its force and effect. Cox instructed Morrissey that there was no restraining order against the police department acting in violation of the law. Morrissey testified that his order last week to clean up slot machines patronized by children, in defiance of the supposed order, was on Spencer's advice. Cox questioned Symmes regarding the act of his clients in having copies of te temporary order printted and' pasted on all their machines. / “I wish this man Odom was in court, because his was one of the most bold, contemptuous actions I ever heard of,” Cox said, “His act shows the stripe of men who run these slot machines. “It was an attempt to lend legal color to the possession of these machines and it i s in contempt of j court.”

‘LAST FLIGHT’ MAY BE FATAL TOCITY FLIER Plane Sold, Then Aviator Crashes on ‘Farewell Hop; Badly Hurt. Taking “one last flight,” Walter Sips, 27. of 2014 North Pennsylvania street, crasher? irom a low altitude into a field near the 4200 block of South Meridian street Sunday morning and was injured critically.

Sips is in city hospital with a compound fracture of the skull, internal injuries, and an injured foot nearly severed at the ankle. Known as “a careful but unlucky” flier. Sips ironically enough, had sold his plane Saturday, and was to deliver it today. He was taking “one last hop” Sunday. Sips was circling

and diving at a low altitude when the plane suddenly hurtled into a field, owned by James H. Baer, R. R. 4. Box 668. The left wing was almost torn off and the motor jammed back in the fuselage. Sips was unable to explain the cause of the crash. A cabinet maker of reputation, Sips came to the United States seven years ago from Germany and was naturalized two years ago. His only relative in this country is a sister. Miss Martha Sips, 5440 North Meridian street. Sips was called unlucky because of a “jinx” that seemed to pursue him. He once was injured seriously in a motorcycle crash and his sister suffered serious injuries when she backed into the whirling propeller of Sips’ plane after he had taken her aloft for her first flight.

FAIR WAGE RAID BY CONTRACTOR Firm of Abel Brothers Is Not Barred on City Street Jobs. A. O. Abel of the contracting firm of Abel Brothers, issued a statement today, concurred in by Ernest Fricks, works board secretary, that the firm still is a legal bidder on street improvement work, despite a report that it had been barred for paying a wage of 1j cents an hour to sonic, laborers. Frick last week Indicated that the firm had been barred, due to the low wage in the face of a 30-cents-an-hour minimum. It was explained today that wages below the minimum were paid some workers on a street improvement job in the vicinity of the south side market, but the project was not strictly of city nature, as the market organization paid three-fourths of the cost. Some men, it was stated, employed principally on a charity basis, were paid 171s cents an hour, and others received 20 and 25 cents. However, Abel declared today that the minimum now is 30 cents an hour. On the particular project, it was explained that a clause relating to the 30-cent minimum wage was omitted in printed notices.

New Wonders Revealed at World's Fair in Chicago

260.000 Persons Click Through Turnstiles in Brilliant Week-End Opening. BY ROBERT T. LOUGH RAN l nited Press Staff Correspondent CHICAGO, May 29.—Down the scarlet-margined avenue of flags passed new thousands of worlds fair visitors today after a brilliant week-end opening which had seen some 260,000 persons click through the polished turnstiles. A bright sun displaced the rain clouds of Sunday, and brought the vari-hued towers, arcades, parabolas, minarets and sheer banks of color into a fairyland panoramic background for today’s chief event—the arrival of the world's bestknown picture by an American artist. Under guard of federal troops and special police, Whistler's famous portrait of his mother goes from the Union station to join the $75,0110,000 world’s fair art exhibit at the Chicago Art institute. The famous painting, from Louvre at Paris, owned by the French government, is valued at $500,000. Meanwhile, on a Century of Progress grounds, another day of wonders was being unfolded. In the vast Hall of Science, a projection machine cast against a screen a graphic picturization of man's war against microbes.

\ ONTARIO „ {l/ POET CANADA J<s LAKE Night of Terror Is Spent on Decks of Doomed Excursion Boat. Hi/ Vnited Press HOUGHTON, Mich., May 29. The U. S. S. Crawford steamed into Houghton Sunday after rescuing 120 men and women who had spent a night of terror aboard the excursion boat George M. Cox as it was sinking off wind-swept Isle Royals in Lake Superior. Among the eighty men and forty women who huddled for hours on the sinking ship in a belief that they were doomed were five-who suffered injuries. One of them was George Janzet, whose leg was scalded when a boiler exploded after the boat struck a reef off the rocy isle. George M. Cox, owner of the boat; Alex Mack, a coal passer; Beatric Coty, ship’s housekeeper, and George Williams, a deckhand, suffered cuts and bruises. After hours of battering on the reef, the $250,000 boat apparently was doomed as the last of the passengers and crew were taken off and brought to the mainland. Passengers praised Captain George Johnson highly and said that his cool bravery during the critical hours prevented panic. The Crawford was unable to approach close enough to the marooned ship to transfer passengers directly and most of those saved were brought to shore in lifeboats lowered from the Crawford and nosed by sailors through heavy fog and treacherous rocks to the side of the listing vessel.

That was followed by motion pictures explaining why- iron rusts and coal burns, showing the strange tiny creatures that live in water, invisible until it is explored through a microscope. Down the midway, the carnival spirit ruled. Mingling with the beautiful tones of the Deagan carillon coming from the loud speakers were the grunts of chimpanzees, the scream of the cyclone speed cars, the spiel of ballyhoo speakers, and the sustained laughter of the crowd. A spectacle of solemn beauty had been a prelude to today's program. To the roll of drums and fanfare of trumpets, the Pantheon, World war memorial, was dedicated. It is a painting 402 feet long and fortytwo feet high, depicting battlefield scenes of France and Belgium. In the foreground 6.000 portraits of national heroes, men and women. For four years, 128 artists toiled to create the Pantheon. Twelve Red Cross nurses, typifying the part women played in the war, stood at attention with troops from the United States army encampment while the dedicatory flag was raised. Colonel Francis E. Drake, president of Pershing hall in Paris, and C. Wayland Brooks, representing the American Legion, spoke, and French Consul General Rene Wallier and his aides were guests of honor.

MORGAN RULES 55 BILLIONS BY INFLUENCE Golden Cord Leading U. S. Formed of Money Owned by Those It Binds. (Continued From Page One) biggest banks in the country, owners of life insurance policies, holders of stock in large industrial corporations. Other connections still arc to be developed. From information available now these tabulations can be made: Morgan partners are serving on the boards of these New York banks: Guaranty Trust, New York Trust. City bank. Farmers Trust, an affiliate of the National City. Morgan partners serve also on the boards of nine large Philadelphia banks. These are the banks whose officials arc obligated to J. P.
