UTAHJALT FLAT
Sir Malcolm Campbell Plans
to Take Auto to Region
That Has History of
Death in Pioneer Days
Br William Flvnn
United PreM Staff Correepondent
SALT LAKE CITY. Utah. (UP)
A nrw land speed record may be att
over ft flalt waate that was a barrier
to trarwportatlon for centurlea.
Sir Malcolm Campbell, who baa
driven an automobile faater than any
other man and lived, haa planned
tentatively to bring hla Bluebird to
the Utah Salt Plat and attempt to
drive a mile In nine seconds.
Ill ark of riimtlns Salt
His course will be somewhere on
a block of solid salt floating In a sea
of sticky mud.
The run will be made, If the titled
Rngllshman can complete rebuilding
his bullet car In time to ship It here
before Oct, 10, officers of the Salt
Lake Junior Chamber of Commerce
ay.
Campbell will be venturing Into a
region that has a history of death. Its
forte seema to have been killing those
who attempt to use It for speedy
travel.
The flat lies across the most direct
travel route from east to west In the
lnter-mountain region. Pioneers of
the 10th Century faced It.
Nliortest Itotite
They were In a hurry to reach Cali
fornia where they might found new
homes and find great fortunes. It
was the shortest way. They goaded
thetr lumbering oxen forward.
"The sun beamed heavy on our
heads," one wrote. "We could see
nothing before us but extensive arid
plains, glimmering with heat and
salt. Vegetation ceased entirely; the
ground was In many places whlto as
snow with salt and perfectly smooth.
"The mid-day sun, beaming with
uncommon splendor upon these shin
ing plains, made u fancy we could
see timber . . . timber means water.
We discovered It was an Illusion. We
turned back."
Blazed Oregon Trail
They retreated and blazed th Ore
gon trail. One group, Inspired by
Oregon's first press agent, Lansford
W. Hastings, who spread the climatic
doctrine In the 18Ws. urged one
party to try the route aorosa the flat.
It would 'cut their Journey by 300
miles.
The mud sucked down their wagon
wheels. On the salt block, oxen died
'with bloated tongues. Men, womon,
children, crazed by thirst abandoned
their supplies; reached the moun
tains and water half dead,
IMsnntroiis Short Cut
But the short eut delayed them
long; arid its theft of their stores left
them snowbound, helpless In the
Nevada mountains. Those who lived
until spring survived only by eating
flesh of dead companions.
The area became a land of mystery.
It held the ghosts of travelers whose
bones and belongings were whitened
and burled by the drifting salt. Evon
the Iron Horse, when It steamed
across the plains, followed the Oregon
trail route.
No man tracked Its surface until
1008 when a bicycle blared the trull
for a safe crossing.

Here's What These Owners Say
What a itory they would moke. If we could print
them all! The thotmnnds of statements thnt pour in
from Hudson and Terraplano owners, telling whjr
they chose the car they didl
In thU community, 7 out of every 8 men and women
who hare bought Hudson and Tcrraplane$ in the
pott 5 months looked at other ears before they de
cided. In many cases, they drove and tested 4 or S
other makes. That means they bought Hudson or
Terrapiane on FACTS after they had seen ALL that
competing cars had to offer.
Each of these satisfied owners will join us In sayingi
"DON'T BUY ANY CAR TOO HURRIEDLY"
Ce are sure every one of them is glad he compared
Hudson and Terrapiane with the others for getaway,
power and all-round performance. Tested them for
roominess, comfort, ease of handling. Checked safety
and convenience features. Got from o-ners proof of
mpgedness and low up-keep cost
This is all we ask of any liuyer. That he do w hat these
people did. Compare. Buy on facts.
