around the track about 2:30 p.m yesterday, As soon as the newsreel photographers and still picture men from a dozen assorted syndicates were ready on the bridge over the backstrétch, the Duke fired one rocket. A heavy billow of white smoke broke from the: rear of the racer and the car appeared to zoom down the straightaway like a projectile. The Duke figured he raised his speed from 100 mph. by 20 m.p.h. with the rocket assist. . “Fought the Wheel” His car didn't appear to veer as “the rocket went off, but he had to fight the wheel, he said, until the thrust of the expanding rocket gases died out. After his initial test with the 41pound rockets, which have a twosecond duration, the Duke was satisfled and somewhat relieved. He then hooked on his four-sec-ond rockets which weigh about 70 pounds, and exert 400 pounds pressure.

"In his run down the back-stretch,

estimated, He fired his second 4second rocket in front of the grand- | "5 stands to give the crowd a show. -. Successful, Duke Says Here, the gigantic “whoosh” of the rocket broadened to a roar. White smoke bloomed, enveloped and trailed him. As the smoke lifted, he already was into the southwest turn,’ ~~ * He appeared to be fighting the wheel strenuously on the homestretch. During all four rocket firings, he kept his initial speed down to 100 m. p. h. or less. Duke himself said his tests were successftil, They showed that rockets can be applied to a racing car and give it a considerable boost. In fact, the whole experiment was a big success for everybody except the 500-mile race people who are running on gasoline, not rockets. It was a success for the Aero-Jet division of the General Tire Co. which makes the rockets, General Tire hopes to apply them to stop-

ping traing in emergency, boosting aircraft on take-offs. The, experiment brought Aero-Jet pefore. the public. It was, incidentally, a success for

who wandered into the Speedway lunchroom about the time Bill Ma~ son, the Aero-Jet representative, was buying free, hot lunches ‘for everybody. “It's on Aero-Jet and General Tire.” he kept intoning as the freelunchers filed happily by. It was a big success, too, for the dozen or more newsreel and still photographers who for once in their harried lives had a show run for them. And that mushrooming cloud of white smoke from the Duke's rockets made good pictures, too. Press Agent Success It was a success for one Nate

Stein, a Hollywood press agent, who

gets people to indorse things and,

sponsor stuff. He got the Estee Bedding Co, of Chicago to sponsor yesterday's demonstration and the

name painted on Duke's red racer. - In some measure, it represented a success for Eddie Rickenbacker, former Speedway owner, who made a public statement some time ago that the éra of yocket racing was at hand. Most of all, though, it was a big success for Mrs. Duke Nalon, who didn’t know whether Duke would walk away from the experiment when it was all over or not, Everybody Except So it was a success for everybody, except the drivers, mechanics, officials and miscellaneous gentry connected with the Memorial Day race. \ They were not enthusiastic about it, partly because it used up an afternoon of good, dry sunshine when they wanted to test their cars. They didn't think rockets had any future in the racing business, which is what the old
