Saw Says He Has No Knowledge of Deal
By ED KENNEDY
Mile Race this year has been offered to a large part of the nation, but not to Indianapolis, it was learned. by The Times today.
Attempts to make a the event to two television networks have been made by a New York agent, Louis Shurr. Mr. Shurr’'s status in the deal ‘could not be determined. No Knowledge—Shaw Wilbur Shaw, Speedway presi dent, said he had no knowledge of such actions, and if Mr. Shurr had made any advances, it was without his authorization. Louis Shurr is abroad and could not be reached. But his brother, Lester, also in the firm, said they had been trying to interest buyers in the telecasts. “With the restrictions set by the Speedway people we were unable to get anyone interested,” he said. Under the program detailed bv Louis Shurr, of which major

fully informed, the Speedway offered the event for live telecasts on the network provided no station within 500 miles of the ‘500’ be permitted to air the program. “This restriction made by the
sible to sell,” Lester Shurr said. He also said he had been working on the sal. with the full knowledge of Wilbur Shaw. “I'll deny any of this if ‘you print it,” Lester Shurr also stated. “What thgy want to announce out there is their business, but this shouldn't be printed,” he said. Under the plan offered to one

The price to the American Broadcasting Co. was to be $11,500.
far as he was concerned the event still was for sale, but the price /had gone up. He would not disclose the new price. “If they (Speedway officials) would .cut the ban to just Indiana I could sell it tomorrow,” Mr. Shurr asserted. However, at this late date, network officials said it would be im possible for the necessary transmission facilities to be set up. The cable coming into Indian'apolis is one-way. To send the telecasts out of the city to the network would require a westeast micro-wave. This could be installed at a cost of several -thousand dollars for the event. Network spokesmen said the time has now past and it could not be completed now before race day. Discussed With CBS In addition to ABC, the offer also was discussed with officials of Columbia Broadcasting System. Officials of the local television station, WFBM-TV, said they had been told sometime ago that any thought of local television was out of the question.
Corporation Tax Boost Approved
WASHINGTON, May 10 (UP) The House Ways and Means Committee voted’ today to in-
creases corporation taxes by $2.080.000.000 a year. 3 The same committee voted vesterday to boost individual income taxes by $£2950.000,000 a year. Both boosts fell far short of President Truman's requests. He had asked a $4 billion hike in personal income taxes and a $3 billion increase in corporation g taxes as part of his program to raise an extra $10 billion. The balance under the President's program would be obtained by boosting excises $3 billion. Indications, however, are that the total tax increase will not exceed 86 hillion or $7 billion,
Cars May Go 10,000 Miles + Without a Change of Oil
By PAUL F, ELLIS
1 nited Press Science Editor WILMINGTON, Del., May 10 Development of a substance that may permit driving an automobile for 10,000 miles without an oil change was disclosed today. The substance is a new silica,
'a sand-llke material that can be
ised to thicken oil in making grease. The development was announced” at the dedication of a new $30 million addition to the Du Pont Co.'s experimental station, The substance, known as (18-1993, comes in the form of balls less than a mfllionth of an finch in diameter. The scientists pointed out the halls are so tiny that when nfagnified 25.000 times they still appear scarcely larger
Thé new type silica is expected to have an important part in the
production of lubricating oil, especially for automobiles. Ordinary greases, the scientists said, are made with soap as the thickening agent, and at high temperatures such soaps become thin. The result is worn out bear-| ‘ings and an expensive repair job for the automobile owner,
The Du Pont scientists reported
that oils treated with new silica have been put through stremuous tests, and the oil can now be made to stand up. The tests show, according to the scientists, the oil can withstand the equivalent of a truck traveling at 50 miles an hour and for 10,000 miles. The new silica

SOMEWHERE IN KOREA. May 10 (UP)—Lt. Gen. James A. Van Fleet inspected several front-line fighting units today. | He said he found Allied forces had reached their ‘highest
| peak” of determination.
“We are ready for the enemy now and at any day in the future,” the 8th Army commander said. “I feel better about the situation at present than I did at the start of the enemy offensive, I know I express the spirit of those in the foxholes.” both sides of the Seoul-Munsan highway said the Reds were digging in and fighting back for the first time in a week. Other tank patrols ranged six to eight miles north of Uijongbu, 11 miles north of Seoul, ran into an enemy screening force and killed an estimated 20 Communists, Move reports
in Strength
Air said the Commu-
‘nists were maving in strength in-
to the area northwest of Uijongbu for what may be the second round of their spring offensive. Tank patrols attempting to push through the hills were stopped by heavy mine fields guarded by machine guns. Infantry patrols were showered with rifle and machine gun fire. An 8th Army communique said Allied air strikes were called against "a large concentration of enemy troops’ northwest of Uijongbu and southeast of Munsan. Air reports sald traffic on the Communist supply highways from Manchuria has decreased during the past two days, indicating that new supplies for the seconu round of the Reds’ spring offensive now have been delivered. Some sources expected the new blow might fall between May 13 and 15. Other American commanders said thev thought the Reds might not strike again unless forced to do so to keep United Nations forces out of North Korea.
