Other climbers scramble over the house and buildings.

Wben the starter's flag sends America'! 33 leading drivers roaring down the Indianapolis straightaway the morning of May 30. Firestone tires will be makltiB a bid for tbelr 190) consecutive first-place victory In the Memorial Day event. Every Indianapolis winner since 1920 haa ridden to victory on Firestone tires, ac cording to Mel Starnes. Long recognised aa the most gruelling teat of tire and mechani cal equipment in the realm of motordom. the 500 Mile Race this year will demand an even greater measure of tire and mechanical durability. Tear after year, speed haa increased. Last year Wilbur Shaw was forced to maintain an average speed of 11S.S miles per hour to win first place by the narrow margin of a scant two seconds. That the speed this year will be even higher is the fore gone conclusion of the drivers who will participate. A few years ago the 500-Mile record was just a little better than 103 miles per hour, but drivers and Conteat Board officials are of the opinion that it will be necessary to quality at 120 miles per hour, or better, to land a place among the 33 starters. One factor tbat will contribute to greater speed this year Is the lifting of every type of fuel re striction. In 193G, drivers were permitted to use "doped" fuel, but were limited to 37' J gallons for the entire 500 miles. To effect economy In fuel consumption, it waa necessary to curtail power development. This, In turn, im posed a limitation of top speed. While there was no restriction in fuel gallonage In 1937, the AAA Contest Board ruled that only stock gasoline was eligible For any outdoor occasion a carton ol Blue Ribbon adds tha final touch. Its rich, mallow goodneae haa made Pabst a favor tte for five generations. OOOD TASTE FOR 84 TEAM PABST ORDER A CASE TODAY to comnete In the race. This again imposed a limitation by forcing names are watchwords In race car engineers to drop back to speedway world. Each will In the race on May SO, there will be no fuel restriction of any kind. Drivers will be permitted to go the limit In concocting high powered mixtures and they may use as much fuel as they wish. Some of the cars will burn alcohol while others will use "hot" mix tures that will permit smooth run ning with engine compression ra tios as high as ten to one. All of this means more speed. Supercharged motors this year will have a displacement of 181 cubic Inches, twice the sire of the former 91 cubic Inch motors which have made racing history at Indianapolis. Motors without superchargers will be allowed a maximum of 274 cubic Inches. With these specifications, motor output will undoubtedly reach 250 horsepower. With Increased power and greater speed at their command, veteran drivers believe that this year's race will be a tire test su preme. Competition will be keener than It has ever been. The lead footed merchants of speed will roar down the straightaways and through the turns faster than ever. This will tend to generate more tire heat, a condition which Firestone will meet with tires of patented Gum-Dipped construc tion, just as It has met the same conditions successfully for the last IS years. The vanguard of contestants has already arrived at Indiana polis for the tune-up tests. Gaso line Alley Is filled with new speed creations, a small fortune and a year's work Invested In every one. Among the veterans wfto will make their perennial try for new fame and fortune are Meyer, Shaw, Stapp, Cuinmings, Gulotta, Winn, Mays, Gardner, Miller and score of other drivers whose the be Bride of Secretary Ickes SELECT OFFICERS Hugh Scovell waa elected president of Medford Junior chapter of the Na tional Aeronautic association at the conclusion of a model airplane con teat at the municipal airport this morning.

SEARCH FOR HECKNER CONTINUES FRUITLESS IN 1'VILIE TERRITORY Yesterday, the eighth day since John H. Heckner disappeared from his home In Jacksonville, brought no new developments In the search for the 62-year-old prospector who Is believed to have committed sui cide because of despondency over the death of his wife. May 10. One small clue waa investigated thoroughly, then forgotten by au thorities. Deputy Sheriff BID Gren bemer and State Policeman Clark Johnson closely searched the ground in the vicinity of the Jacksonville reservoir about three miles from town and found absolutely no evi dence Heckner had thrown himself Into the water. An unidentified wo man told the deputy sheriff thst Heckner had asked her several weeks ago where the reservoir was located. Although Heckner was known to have been to the reservoir many times, police made a thorough check, but to no avail. Aged miners and prospectors, who know the surrounding country like a book, are searching abandoned mine shafts, apd yesterday several almost-forgotten tunnels In the vi cinity of the Gore mine, about six miles from Jacksonville were checked. It la the consensus that Hackner crawled deep Into one of the shafts and ended his Ufa. The Bearch will continue Indefi nitely, Deputy Sheriff Grenbemer said, although no organized groups will participate. Proapectors and wood cutters In the hills will continue to Investigate places where Heckner may have gone to die. GIRL SUICIDES AFTER GAMBLING SNIP TRIP. LONO BEACH. Calif., Msy 3fl.
