THE NOVI CARS ARE INtereslmg. They are fast with their eight cylinder m >tor.o supercharged. They have everytiung it take.s apparently, but have been blessed with nothing but bad luck over the years They have finished before in the 33 car ra/ e, but n>t high, as something always goes wrong. In 1956, Paul Russo, one who for so long favored th*- Novi, took off as if he were going to leave the Offys behind. However. after grabbing the lead early in the race he -imply drove the tires out from under the powerful ear as it was thought a thrust of acceleration by this car spun the wheels inside the tires causing his blow vit. That is the kind of powet they have. THE FOUR DAYS OF THE 10-mile qualifying run» will open on Saturday, .May 12. Tins wll be pole position day and you can expect to hear such names as A. J. Foyt. Roger Ward. Jim and Dick Rathmon, Jim Hurtibise, Eddie Sachs and others out on the tr.nk this day. These lead-footed drivers want that pole po lion. If weather < onditions are favm-able, it could he ■ that records will be shattered bey <| rccogniti' non this first day now that the asphalt is laid the entire 2 1 - miles of tiie track. QUALIFYING CONTINUES on Sunday, the 13th, and again on Saturd y and Sunday, May 19 and 20 as the drivers attempt to get into the field of the most famous race of all tune. These runs will drhw crowds of 100,000 people as the weather Is good. However, this large crowd is nothing compared to the mob that makes the move to the Speedway Die day before and day of tiie big race. All the imagination of any parson is outdone by the people that gather annually for this big race. It certainly is a breed all alone in thm huid of ours.

"The Devil at 4 O’C ock ' Is .wt in the South Pacifi-, on the Island ( f Talua. Here, on the side of a dormant volcano, Tracy has built and is maintaining a jungle hospital. Here, as a stopover while en route to an island prison elsewhere in the Pacific, Sinatra arrives with two other convicts. The criminal’s every meeting with the priest strikes fire; they join forces only when the earthquake presages later, more violent, voLanic action. The pri<*st and the convicts parachute to the rescue of the hospital's staff and child patients.
