WALLFLOWER—Bill Vukovich hit the wall at the Speedway I and fans hit the sack last night, after another '500' had gone down in history. But th

eed drivers and $ young man, a victim of spring fever rather than race fever, "hit the wall." The wall, however, ‘was the one containing the east lawn of the statehouse, far from the madding crowd, as the poet said. And that "grung-g-g, grung-g-g, grung-g-g" is not the rear of the race cars, but merely the young man's | snores.

Hunt ‘Phantom Gunman’ At Motorists

Illinois Police Think

He Might Be Linked To a Mystery Murder

Bry Unit ST. LOUIS, Mo., May 31 | rushed a spent bullet to the Ito see if a “phantom gunman’ ‘ists on U, 8. Highway 66 is

murder of a 8t, }pouls man, The gunman, who police believe | is a madman, took potshots at’ two motorists on 4 stretch of one 6f the nation's busiest roads Thursday near Plainfield, Ill. Capt. ‘James Thompson of the 8t. Louis police department said {he could be the same person who shot and killed Raymond C. | Raack, a businessman with no | known enemies, on a downtown |street corner here Wednesday. Mr. Raack fell dead witha .38caliber slug in his back, but police could find no one who had fired a shot in the area nor could they locate the revolver. Mr. Thompson asked that a slug found on the floorboard of a car involved in the Plainfield shootings be sent here to compare with the bullet in the Raack slaying. Smashed Window One of the Plainfield victims William REirthisel, 45, suffered a badly injured finger on his left hand when the gunman's bullet smashed his window, throwing lead fragments into his finger. The second man, Daniel 8choner, 32, ducked ‘and escaped injury. Police were looking for a blue car, but other than that scanty lead they had little to go on, Mr. Eirthisel and Mr, Schoner were both fired upon, some nine hours apart, as they traveled north on 66. The gunman was headed south in both cases. They said he stuck his left arm out the Nindav and fired once with a p while with his right hand, Werng Both of the bullets shattered the

car to be traveling at about 70 mph. Police said his marksmanship was “amazingly accurate” considering the converging speed of the cars between 120 and 140

mph. Blue Car

the gun-car was a medi blue 1950 Ford. Mr, Schoner, however, could only identify it as a “blue car.” Mr. Schoner, who said he was driving into Plainfield at about 70 mph, said he saw tks man stick his left arm out of the window as the car approached at a high rate of speed. “I thought he was fooling with his aerial,” he said. “Then I saw the gun and ducked.” Mr, Eirthisel was driving away from ‘Plainfield toward Chicago where Highway 68 widens into a four-lane highway. “I was so surprised I don't know whether he swerved to my side of the road or not,” hé said. “But I'm sure he fired with his left hand.” Mr. Birthisel could give no description of his assailant, and Mr, Schoner could say c3zly that he "appeared to bs a middleaged man.”
