BILL CUMMINGS’ CAR BALKS

Hundreds Still Lined Up on Roads as Speedway Event Starts.

(Continued Trpm Page One)

only six hours drive the 52 miles from Kokomo the track. Hotels, clubs, /private homes, and even parked autos began pouring their contributions into the stream of race-bound humanity as the sun made headway in warming up downtown Indianapolis. Every available hotel room was used by visitors. Many fans were forced to grab a few winks in cars which usually were parked in lots within the mile square. After hurried breakfasts, throngs converged on Union Station and at the Circle to catch shuttle trains and busses for the track. Many knew from experience, and others had been told by old-timers, about the congestion on all roads leading to the brick oval. Nevertheless streets from the business district were filled with autos headed toward the Speedway. Traffic police were at important intersections early. Others had worked late last night in a rather futile effort to keep the stream moving in an orderly manner. Night Clubs Kept Busy Night clubs overflowed with race ‘ fans until early this morning. Cars parked in front of homes throughout the city’s residential sections attested by their license plates to the drawing power of the annual motor event. Four persons were under arrest today. for alleged ticket scalping. They were: Morris Glazier, 719 8. Illinois-st; Max Gerstein, 37 W. St. Clair-st: Louis Olshan, 38, Gem «Hotel, and Louis Rosenthai, 27, 616 8. Illinois-st. Police said they took 42 tickets from Olshan and Rosenthal after the arrest of the pair at Illinois and Washington-sts. Eight tickets, they said, were taken from Glazier and Gerstein. Police said that Glazier admitted trying to scalp the tickets. Harry Budnick, 1241 Union-st, was arrested for vagrancy in connection with the alleged scalping.

Sisters Are First In

Flora and Grace Ford, Peoria, Ill, sisters, who have been in line at the Speedway entrance g: te for the last 24 days, heaved a sigh of relief as they drove their car in first this morning and announced to all around that they probably will be back next y.ar. Said Grace, 24, the younger: “We had a good time. We got to know most of the drivers and we probably will be back again next year. It was lots of fun.” They almost missed being first in the gate, however, when another car, also from Peoria, and bearing several men, nosed ahead of them. They complained to Speedway officials, who set matters right. Persons in cars parked along the roads last night built fires to keep themselves warm. Persons in one truck spread blankets over the top of its body structure and made a tent. Mr. and Mrs. J. E. Bossett, Hopkinsville, Ky., and their eightmonth old daughter, Sarah Louise, spent the night in a car at the roadside and were among the first in. As the “early birds,” parked in their cars three deep outside the gates, sped through the entrance with horns blowing and with exhausts open, T. E. (Pop) Myers stood just inside on the bumper of an official car and watched his annual customers race to their favorite parking places. A jam developed at the foot gates where hundreds of persons who had ridden trains, busses and taxis entered. But trampled toes were re‘ceived - good-naturedly and . the guards chided the fans for their rush. An hour after the gates had opened, only a few persons were sit=ting in the stands, but thousands were filing through the grounds in carnival spirit. Many came with picnic baskets and box lunches. Cries of the barkers sounded throughout the grounds as they sold official programs, pennants, newspapers, sun glasses, and sponge rubber seat cushions. The sky was overcast and a cool breeze was blowing out of the northwest. Coats were the order of the day. and while the fans waited for the start they gathered around food stands where hot coffee was more popular ‘than cold drinks.

FIRST-AID CHIEF URGES CAUTION

Safety Rules for Memorial Day Suggested by ‘Red Cross Official.

BY SCIENCE SERVICE WASHINGTON, May 30.—With Memorial Day ushering in the first week-end holiday of the season, America will stage a mass exodus to beach, pool and picnic ground. Arterial highways will be dangerously packed by a swiftly moving stream of motor cars, and country lanes, normally safe ‘for. the leisurely pedestrian, will become suddenly hazardous. With this in mind, Harold F. Enlows, director of the First Aid and Life Saving Service of the American

Frequently traffic injured are jackknifed into a passing automobile and their injuries thus further complicated. Call an ambulance! . An accident victim should not be moved until he or she is examined for. possible fractures and these, if found, adequately splinted.

He wouldn't, he is reported to have said today at the jail, have enrolled in the Black Legion except for the. prestige which former Gov. Brucker’s presence gave the mob. Edwards is said to have recalled the meeting in these words:

“Mr. Brucker made a speech and I said to myself: ‘If this organization is good enough for Mr. Brucker and those other big men, it's good enough for me.” Edwards is said to have joined that night. Since the Poole murder confessions, Mr. Brucker repeatedly has said that he knew nothing of the Black Legion. Prosecutor Duncan C. McCrea, suPerseded by the Michigan attorney- general in the broad grand jury inquiry, today demanded that a Detroit newspaper retract headlines and news stories charging him with applying for Black Legion membership. Mr. McCrea is not, however, clear as to whether, in the heat of the 1934 campaign, he signed an application for accident insurance on a form used by the Black Legion. The political “front” put up by the anti-Catholic, anti-Jew, antiNegro, anti-Communist band in Wayne County amazes Detroiters inured to rough and ready campaigns, peculating office holders and election frauds.

Pence is said to have acknowledged he once had belonged to the Black Legion under one of its several aliases in Oakland County. The committeemen, seeking a state-directed grand jury inquiry, charged that Pontiac is in the grip of the Black Legion. * “They run this town,” said Lyle D. Tabor, an attorney and leading committeeman. “Four of the seven city commissioners either belong, have belonged or are indebted to the Black Legion. “A good half of the police force of 60 are enrolled in the criminal band. - “In 1934, the Black Legion came into political prominence under various names: The Searchlight Club, the Twenty ahd Club, the Bul let Club and the Night Riders.
