Publicity Dispenser Lauds Speed and Orders Driver

to Ease Up in Same Breath

Steve Hannagan Spouts Raceway’ Ballyhoo While Col. Joe Rushes to Board Boat; So New Track Crowds Olympians Out of Story.

BY JOE WILLIAMS’ as YORK, TY ISTE Sad) Wel petty Saculd: be. Jains

with succulent items about the

Olympians and impressions of the

getaway on the Manhattan, but it was impossible to escape Mr, Steven Jerome Hannagan, the merciless publicist. ° _ On the way to the pier in the cab Mr. Hannagan began by saying T probably would see a number of ‘startling things in Europe . , , “But you won't see anything like our new joint!”

Practically everything to Mr. Hannagan is a joint.

In this in-

stance he was referring to the automobile race course now nearing com-

pletion at Westbury, L. I. “To begin with, it will have an historic background,” continued the gentleman. “The track is being built on the very site from which Lindbergh, Chamberlin ‘and Byrd hopped away to fame on trans-At-lantic flights. Can you imagine what an inspiration that. is going to

ers!” The connection didn’t seem to be altogether clear unless the chines were to be . equipped with wings for the purpose of flying. — > “They will go . Willi fast enoug 0 Williat make you think they are flying,” Mr. Hannagan assured. “And if any of the boys have the misfortune to go into a spin at one of the turns I will not be surprised to see them take off and head straight. for he other side.”

T this point | Abe “cab in which we were riding skidded slight~ ly and Mr. Hanndgan’s moon-like

pan turned a pasty gfay . .. “Jeep- |

ers! There ought to be a law mggainst these ‘maniacs. . , » “Hey, driver! Who do you think you are «Oldfield ?” It was interesting to note that Oldfield, who never drove a car half |' as fast a§ the average suburbanite does today; still remains the national symbol of blinding speed. “To get back to our joint,” gasped Mr. Hannagan, “It will be four miles ih length with sixteen turns.’ It will be ‘the longest enclosed race course in America, and you can see every part of the track from any part of the stand. Our motto is, ‘give the customers a break.’” The inclination to grimly observe that the more breaks and crack-ups he could guarantee the customers the more successful the track might be was heroically. restrained.

”n ” ” 2 HERE is a significance about our enterprise,” pressed Mr. Hannagan, mopping his beady forehead, “that should not be .overlooked. It brings big league racing hack to the Eastern seaboard for the first time in years. If is another link in a coast. to coast racing chain. It gives America another outdoor laboratory where the motor car gets ‘experimental tests under ,#ictual road conditions. . ie Hey, driver! We ain't going to no fire. Slow this hack | down.” .:. . The driver isan reduced his speed' from thirty -to twenty. “This race of ours will be a great’ thrilling spectacle, something few of the present generation have seen, It will be around. turns and through sharp_ cut aways, a ‘sort of -¢ontinuons zig-zag. . It will in effect be actual road racing instead of sheer speed stuff like you see at the Indianapolis Speedway. But there will be plenty of: speed. The cars will have maximum speeds of 160 -and 200 miles and hour, and the drivers may use all the gas and oil they want. n

2 = Y now our cab had reached the pier and Mr. Hannagan dismissed the driver with a gusty sigh of relief . .. “It's a wonder to me more people: aren't killed in: this town, what with all these insane guys trying to climb the sides of buildings and pole vault over} bridges. If I was the mayor of this joint. ,..” Two shot-putters, a hammer thrower and a marathon runner collided with Mr. Hannagan on his way up the gang plank and only the sturdy nature of the guard rails Kept him from taking a header inte the greasy river. Whether this was ab deliverance, or not was h to-détermine at the moment. Your. correspondent certainly had’ not planned on"devoting this occasion $0 a session on road racing. “And just ‘whit until you .get a gander at. our stands,” puffed: Mr. Hannagan. “They wilt: positively | be: the last word .. .” | It was suggested hopefully that: the last word Would be warmly received at any time and preferably dt the immediate moment.

Valentine, be carried out here. N. Y. Movement Explained

Commissioner Valentine began a movement to “protect the pedestrian against himself” after he concluded that jaywalkers are responsible for many fatal accidents. Commenting on the safety of pedestrians crossing at automatic signal controlled intersections, Mr. Crain said that he believes the time allowed for a person to cross before the traffic changes .is too short in Indianapolis. He said that of 16,000 national fatalities caused by pedestrians last year, 4000 occurred at intersections controlled by automatic signals. Commissioner Valentine has asked city legislation against persons who cross in the center of the block or disobey traffic lights and crossings.

Survey to Take Month

Mr. Crain advised following this procedure. He also pointed out that most present-day traffic laws were formulated when pedestrians outnumbered auto owners. Now that the majority of persons own autos, more drastic pedestrian legislation is necessary, he said. The NYA survey is expected to require a month for completion. It is to cover the 36 intersections in the mile square controlled by automatic signals.
