Arthur Beck. the millionaire kid tester, has been nominated aa an' alternate drtvr on the National Blue Flying Squadron for tt4 Decoration day races. An air of mystery has surrounded Beck ever since his arrival at the Na tional factory. Tall, clean cut and well bred, be became at once a favorite among the testers. No Job was too un pleasant for Beck, as long as - some where in 'the future he could picture himself at the wheel of a big blue Na tional, a string of cars behind and the checkered flag ahead. From a pampered son of luxury to an under test car driver la a far cry, But the lure of the speed game, the throbbing engines, the flying cars, the call of the open exhaUst reached Beck at his horn In the east A family miundratandlng broke the only tie that held him back. Time arter time he applied to th National factory for a place on the race team. 'Time after time he was refused. Tha team was full up. At last with no promise thst he would ever be allowed to drive, and only with the knowledse that usually race drlvera are recruited from the test leg department he went to work In the teat shed. . . Day after day, all through the win ter. Beck has taken out National ,40's for the thorough grind of the final test Whether or not in his mind he pictured himself in ' the '' big race, he never flinched. Wind, rain," sleet and anow did not prevent him from completing his task. But all this time he wss familiarising himself with every lncn of the speedway course. As a result Beck Is putting the Nattonal 40 stock chesses through stunts that sbame records made In race competition last year. . When Beck takes the wheel to re lieve one of his team mates In the five century grind the autolats need have no lear.tnat tne Dig blue car entrusted to him will not keep the pace that sven the most reckless driver may set for It ISSuR t , Seventy-five Cars Expected to Make Trip to Boom the State's Auto, Industry. 1 burg, October 1, 17, 18.
