Ralph Hepburn, president of the American Society of Professional Auto Racing, and Russ Snowberger, one of today's drivers, backed him in’ his appeal. Mehan, in announcing the contest board's approval of an-extra hour of qualifying between 6 and 7 p. m, yesterday, said additional qualifiers would have to get waivers from the 28 original qualifiers, would not be able to eliminate any earlier eligibles and could not receive their lap-by-lap speed on the 10-mile test runs.

Other cars which ran practice trips but couldn't accumulate enough speed included the Boxar .Tool Special, Z.

Steward Mehan said the race would be called complete after 275 miles. In other words, should it be necessary to stop the race after it has progresed that far, all records would be official.

Iceland Plane Missing On Routine Flight

REYKJAVIK, May 30 (U. P.).— An Icelandic Dakota transport, with 21 passengers and four crewmen aboard, has been missing off the northern coast of the island since yesterday. The missing plane was

of a heart attack while attending the Junior-Senior reception at the Riviera club.

Bary Native Dies In Favorite Chair

ARY, Ind, May 30 (U. P)— Mrs. Myrtle May Wright was saddened at the thought of leaving her home in Gary, where she had lived all of her 53 years, But her husband, Charles, 73, had prevailed upon her to go with him to Terre Haute, the home town had left more than 50 years before. He had retired a year ago from his job with the city, and his old home had been often in his thoughts.’ Yesterday they were leaving. The house had been sold a week ago. A moving van, loaded with their belongings, was in front of the home. Only one piece of furniture—Mrs. Wright's worn, old rocking chair— remained to be loaded. “I'm going to sit down in my old chair for the last time here,” Mrs. Wright told her husband, and her voice was sad. “We've been happy here, haven't we,” she murmured as she closed her eyes to fix forever in her mind the scene she was leaving. After a few minutes, her husband shook her gently. “It’s time to be going, dear,” he said. Mrs. Wright did not answer. She
