Local Pilot Threat
To Veteran Racers CLEVELAND, Sept. 6 (UP) A Hoosier newcomer to the Cleveland Air Races, Charles Brown, Indianapolis pilot, today was considered the major threat to the veteran pilots in the Thompson Trophy Race. Slim, handsome Brown sét a speed record for the closed course race during his qualifying flight last week. He flew his souped up P-39 for a two-lap average of 418.3 miles: per hour. Favored to win the $40,000 purse is Cook Cleland, Cleveland flier, who won the world's premier pylon contest last year. An ex-Navy divebomber pilot, Cleland is to fly a 4000-horsepower Corsair. Robbed of Record At the races yesterday, the U. 8. Air Force was robbed of a world speed record by faulty timing. It will send its F-28 jet plane up for another try today, weather permitting. The air force sent its F-86 over the 1.86 mile course at an estp mated 670 miles an: hour yesterday but the cameras missed three of the six runs and the récord could not be marked down as official.

They feared the track would be churned into mire unless it could dry out this morning. But the weatherman, predicting more off-land-on showers today, offered little hope. If the track proves too muddy today, events scheduled this aftlernoon will be. run tomorrow, officials said. .

They were on the watch for “hot rod” cars, driven by out.of{town teen-age boys, who report edly menaced orderly traffic yesterday by weaving in and out of trafic lines. Inside the gates, state police reported an orderly but enthusiastic throng of visitors. Plainclothesmen patrolled the grounds for gambling and hootlegging characters. None was reported.

Truman Lashes Congress Again
Charges Bills Stalled On Housing, Prices
: Additional Page 2; Labor Day statements, Page 15.
GRAND RAPIDS, Mich., Bept.
opened his campaign in Michigan here on this Labor Day with a new attack on the record of the Republican - controlled 80th Congress on prices and housing. The chief executive speaking to an early morning audience estimated by police at 25,000 pictured the 80th Congress as doing the bidding of “the real estate and a lot of other lobbies while, the people get nothing.” He said that Sen. Robert A. Taft (R. 0.) “ran out” on his own housing bill, and he blamed the Republicans for high prices ibecause they did not heed his anti-inflation recommendations at two special sessions of Congress. Charges Bills Blocked The President revived his “spe« cial interests” label for the Republicans opposing his re-el saying they deliberately blocked legislation to provide low - cost rental housing.
Mr. Truman did an unusual thing for a political candidate— he praised one. of the leaders of! the opposition—8en. Arthur HY Vandenberg (R. Mich), who! lives here, The President arrived aboard his special train from Washington for a quick tour of the major population centers of Michigan, speaking in Grand Rapids, Lansing—the state capital, Detroit, Pontiac and Flint. His major address will be made early this afternoon on the steps of Detroit's City Hall. Mr. Truman noted the fact that he was speaking to fellow townsmen of Senator Vandenberg here. He spoke of his 10 years in the Benate as a colleague of Sen. Vandenberg and said he has great respect for the Republican leader. “Sen. Vandenberg is intellectually honest and I like him,” the President said. Nevertheless, he blasted Mr. Vandenberg’s party and he said pointedly that “you have just two parties to choose from Nov. 2.” This was taken as an indirect statement of his feelings toward
