| Three 500-Mile ‘Drivers Are Killed
Races Fatal To Mackey, Green, Brown
Three prominent race drivers who failed to get the checkered flag in their an-
nual quest for gold and glory
at the Indianapolis 500-Mile Race have received the black flag in their race against death. Cecil Green, 31, Houston; Bill Mackey, 23, of 545 Marion Ave., Indianapolis, and Walt Brown, 39, of Massapequa, Long Island, N. Y,, died in three separate crashes at two race tracks yesterday. It was the worst one-day series of tragedies of major auto racing. Biggest previous one-day racing toll was when two Indianapolis 500-Mile Race pilots lost their lives Sept. 2, 1946. George Robson, who had won the 500-Mile Race only three months previously, and George| Barringer, another top 500-Mile| contender, were killed in Atlan-| ta, Ga.
Identical Accidents
Green and Mackey died in iden-| tical accidents less than 30 min-| utes apart at Funk's Speedway! near - Winchester. Brown was] killed on the half-mile track at Williams Grove, Pa. during a warm-up heat. Troy Ruttman won that 50-lap feature at Williams Grove. Death came to Green and Mackey on the south turn of the half-mile Winchester track when both drivers were striving to qualify for the 30-ldp feature event. Fifteen pilots had qualified for the main event when Green stepped into his car, the powerful featherweight Offenhauser owned! by J. C. Agajanian. Green took several warm-up laps then’ signaled he was ready.
Skidded on Oil He roared into the southwest]
turn and his car began skidding| in an oil slick created by the 15} previous qualifiers. The mount | straightened out momentarily, | then headed for the dirt barrier.| It cleared a 2-foot guard rail after! striking the barrier and dropped 25 feet outside the track. The car landed upside down on| Green, who was pinned under-| neath. Green was taken to Ran-| dolph County Hospital where he died on’ arrival. He died of a broken neck.

Green won acclaim last vear as a. promising rookie in the 500-Mile event. He had the second fastest time in qualification time trials and was in fourth place when the 1950 race was halted after 345 miles,
He captured fourth in the AAA last year. He won the Southwestern Midgets Championship in 1949. He has worked as an automobile spring maker when not racing. Mackey was employed as a truck driver for the Mid-State Freight Lines, Inc.
Shaw Blames
Deaths on Too Much Speed
Wilbur Shaw, president of the trouble,” the Speedway chief ex-|come.”
Indianapolis Motor Speedway and three-time winner of the 500-Mile classic, said today he thought excessive speed was the chief cause of the deaths of Cecil Green and Bill Mackey at Funk's Speedway yesterday. Mr. Shaw, shocked at the news of the death of three 500-Mile race drivers, doubted that an oil slick contributed to thé deaths of Green and Mackey.
“If there had been anything
wrong with the contlition of the]
track,” Mr, Shaw said, “I'm sure the Triple A officials and others

COSIS
Bucs are in for the surprise of their lives. They're going to zoom into allethrin, the new insecticide ingredient. It looks like especially bad news for many of the insects that pester you most.
Take flies, mosquitoes and gnats . . . allethrin’s paralyzing touch searches them out... delivers the blow that knocks them down fast . . . leaving its slower acting companion ingredients in the spray or powder to complete the kill.
Until now this type of insecticide came from flowers picked by the natives in Asia and Africa. But allethrin is an all-American product,* synthesized under scientific controls
and has the definite advantages of uniformity in strength and quality.
It is only natural that the people of Union Carbide pioneered in the production of allethrin on a commercial scale.
Bor théy were already making most of the needed chemical

As a result, Union Carbide is already providing allethrin in ever-increasing quantities to manufacturers of household and dairy sprays and aerosol bombs. Researchers all over the country are now engaged in testing allethrin for the
control of agricultural pests and for other purposes,
*THE FORMULA and first laboratory production of allethrin were discoveries of the U. S. Department of Agriculture. Extensive testing of the new chemical was done by the Boyce Thompson Institute. First commer cial production of allethrin was an achievement of the people of Union Carbide.
