Observers on the northeast turn, where Vukovich crashed and lost his race, reported to their press box just 10 laps before the accident: “If that car keeps coming into the northeast turn like that, it isn't long for this race.” In the “groove” of the turn was a rough spot. As the speedrs roared into it, drivers had to fight front-wheels set to bobbling. Vukovich, driving a beautiful race, hit the groove every round. Steering gear trouble cost him his lead. When the reporter jumped from his station, breaking the telephone line, the conversation with Jim Smith, in charge of the press box, was going something like this: WATSON: “Northeast turn, northeast tu ...” ; SMITH: “Watson, Watson, come in. What happened? What's going on? Clear the wires.” All other posts on the phone circuit became quiet.

A fireman rushed up and the driver told him the steering mechanism went out. “We jumped from the stand so fast, we tore loose the telephone wires connected to the main press box. “There we were—with the greatest eyewitness story of the race and no telephone. It was several minutes before we could make repairs to tell the main press box what happened.”

More Men Than Women
Hit by Heart Disease
NEW YORK, May 31—-Wom-en's hearts are less vulnerable than men's—to disease, that is. Figures announced by the American Heart Association here today show for the past 20 years death rates for heart, blood vessel and kidney diseases have been steadily declining for women but increasing for men. . Men can take cheer from this heart fact: The average person, man or woman, faces no greater risk of dying from heart disease today than the average person did 50 years ago. Deaths from heart and blood vessel diseases have increased in numbers in the last half century, but the increase, the heart association says, is due partly to the aging of the population and partly to improved diagnosis.
