Angry Protest
CLEVELAND, Sept. 6.—(AP)—Sport flying’s richest
and toughest race faced a new threat to continuance today
with the death of distance flier Bill Odom and two subur
ban residents.
Odom’s death plunge into a Berea home during the sec
ond lap of the Thompson Trophy event yesterday revived
{he protests of area residents against the low flying speed
sters. shrieking over their homes at 400 miles an hour.
T'he dark green racer, a converted fighter, ripped through
the house, killing Mrs. Jeanne Laird, 24, and her year-old
son, Craig.
Odom was flying an F-51 Mus
tang owned by aviatrix Jacque
line Cochran,
Cook Cleland of Cleveland, for
mer Navy fighter pilot, took the
Thompson Trophy and $19,100
with & new record speed of 397
miles an hour. He also won in
1947 with a record of 396 mph
that stood until yesterday.
Cleland’s new mark was the
last of a series established during
three days of competition. Rec
ords were pushed up in both the
propeller and jet divisions of the
Bendix ¢ross-country races, the
Goodyear races for midget planes,
the Sohio and Tinnerman Trophy
races, and the jet division of the
Thompson,
The Thompson, a free-for-all,
is the traditional classic of air
races, But complaints about the
noise and danger came from Be
rea residents even before the re
sumption of the race in 1946
after seven years’ interruption for
ihe war. Eventually the eourse
was revised to nrake a rough
circle around the community of
6,000 which lies south of the air=
port and southwest of Cleveland.
The Labor Day tragedy, killing
one of the nation’s best known
fliers and two persons unconnect
ed with the sport, brought an
emergency meeting of the Berea
Progressive Citizens League to
draft a protest to state, county
and nearby city officials.
The Thompson race has been a
debated issue inside the daring
fraternity of pilots since its re
vival because of the costs in
volved in flying the heavy sur
plus warplanes and the problems
of ilying them at very high
speeds around pylons,
Ben Franklin, air races general
manager, told the professional
racing pilots at their customary
post-meet session in 1946 that
they had better ' start thinking
about 2 new class of racer. Be
fore the war the Thompson was
flown with planes built for the
port. He suggested then, and re
peated in 1947 and 1948, that it
would be well to return to that
pattern.
The big race climaxed a day of
fecord performance. Bill Bren
nand of Oshkosh, Wis., started it
Uy winning $7,000 and the Good
year Trophy in the midget plane
éces at an average of 177.3 mph.

PEEKSKILL, N, Y, Sept. 6 —
(AP)—Paul Robeson supporters,
protesting the violence that swept
the countryside after his concert
near here Sunday, have called on
President Truman to help “restore
law and order in New Yoik State.”
But Westchester county District
Attorney George M. Fanelli, who
had over-all command of a force
of 900 law enforcement officers,
says they did a “maginificent job.”
The left-wing negro singer's
sympathizers also have demanded
the impeachment of Gov, Thomas
E. Dewey and Westchester county
officials for not preventing the
five-hour rioting.
More than a dozen persons were
arrested on various charges.
More than 100 persons were in
jured as anti-leftist demonstra
tors hurled rocks anl cther mis
siles at autos and buses carrying
the concert crowd home,
Windows of hundreds of vehi
cles were smashed in scattered at
tacks spread over many miles of
roads in the suburbs 40 miles
north of New York City. At least
eight autos and an empty bus
were overturned,
Robeson charged yesterday that
many of the 10,000 concert-goers
were ‘“attacked by arms of the
state and local government.” He
called the concert crowd “peace
fully assembled American citi
zens.”
Referring to Gov. Dewey’s order
to Wesichester county cfticials io
furnish all available police protec
tion for the concert, Robeson said
at a news conference a 1 New York
City:
“He sent the storm trcopers. He
gave the illusion they’d be there
to d=fend us, but they were really
there to beat our brains out.”
Robeson demanded that New
York state pay for property dam
age and reimburse those injured.
There was no immediate com=
ment from those agsailed by Robe
son and his supporters for the sec~
ond anti-Robeson riot in the area
within eight days.
The district attorney, comment=
ing on the fact that the heavy po
lice force prevented any serious
disorder before and during the
concert on an abandoned golf
course, sald:

TRIES TO FIGHT OFF ‘RESCUERS’
Shirley May Quits
IN THE ENGLISH CHANNEL,
Sept. 6 — (AP) — Shirley May
France today abondoned her at
tempt to swim the channel.
The 17-year-old girl from Som
erset, Mass., gave up at 4:05 p. m.
(10:05 a. m,, EST) when she was
less than six miles from England.
She had been in the icy waters 10
1-2 hours.
She was estimated to have cov
ered more than 30 miles of swim
ming. The channel is only 19
miles from Cap Gris Nez, France,
where she started, to Dover, Eng
land—but tides force channel
swimmers to cover much maqre
than that.
Shirley May was moaning when
her coach, Harry Boudakian, pull
ed her from the water. She had
pleaded with him for 20 minutes
not to make her give up.
The pretty blonde cried again
ury Henry Morgenthau, jr., said
Britains’ basic trouble is that
“American industry has achieved
such a phenomenal peak of effi
ciency and productivity” that no
country in Western Europe ean
compete with it.
Outdistanced :
In an article appearing in the
Washington Post, Morgenthau
said: “It is not that they are less
efficient than before, but simply
that we have so tremendously in
creased our own efficiency that
they have been outdistanced.”
He added that no real solution
will be found for Britain’s prob
lems until that “fundamental mal
adjustment which has been devel
oping for many years” has been
solved,
The former cabinet official
brushed off criticism of the Bri
tish Socialist government as “sup=
erficial,” The Socialists didn’t in
orease Britain’s consumption of
goods, he said; All they did was
“cut the same pie into a larger

By The Associated Press
Americans went back to work today from a Labor Day
holiday highlighted by President Truman’s double-bar
reled attack on “special interests” “ho oppose hig “fair
deal” program. -
The President, after spending the night at his home in
Independence, Mo., prepared to return to the capital from
Labor Day speaking dates at Pittsburgh and Des Moines.
In two scrappy speeches remin

paign of 1948, Mr. Truman:
1. Pledged to continue the battie
against the Taft-Hartley law until
it is “wiped off the statute books,”
and accused “organized special in
terests” of trying to block his pro
gram with a “scare word cam-~
paign.”
2. Told a mid-western farm au
dience he is convinced Coagress
will eventually pass the controver
sial Brannan Farm plan.
The President’s rwo speeches—
directed primarily to labor and
agriculture - - possibly set the pat
tern for the 1950 congressional
elections and thus commanded the
attention of Rrepubllcans and
Democrats alike.
Meanwhile, millions of home
ward bound citizens jaramed high
and again:
“Please—please-—leave me in.”
I The girl struggled against Boud
akian when he leaned over the
side of the rowboat to pull her in.
She was hysterical and kept
crying: “Look how near it is.”
She had been within sight of
the white cliffs of Dover for more
than two hours.
“Leave me! Leave me!” she
cried.
Men swimmers from an accom
panying launch jumped into the
water and held her against the
side of a rowboat as she tried to
get away.
Shirley May’s father, J. Walter
France, was in tears too.
“Never mind, baby, never
mind,” he admonished her.
He had ftried to talk her into
giving up several hours before,
when the tides were running
against her. A sudden shift in
Ithe tide’s flow had boosted her

Canadian Minister of Finance
Douglas Abbott—who arrived last
night with Minister for External

newsmen he hopes “we will be
able to achieve some useful work,”
but added:
“One should not expect mira

Bevin is reported keenly in

phase of the discussions because
it may provide a way for Britain
to buy Canadian wheat, flour,
cheese, bacon and eggs, woodpulp

Paul Hoffman, the Economic

refused to permit Marshall Plan

Holiday
By The Associated Press
The nation today grimly counted
a record breaking accidental death
toll for the three-day Labor Day
holiday.
The full count of fatalities was
not yet tabulated but the nearly
500 persons who lost their lives
in accidents over the extended
holiday was the largest for any
Labor Day weekend in history.
The highway took the heaviest
toll. Of the 499 persons killed in
violent accidents, 374 lost their
lives in automobile mishaps. The
traffic fotal was nearly 100 above
}the estimated 280 probable death
toll made by the :iztional Safety
'Council. Forty five persons
drowned and 80 died in accidents
of miscellaneous causes.
The fatalities in an Associated
Press survey covered the period
from 6 p. m. (local time) Friday to
midnight Monday.
This year’s Labor Day total
compared with the previous high
of 428 over the 1937 Labor Day
holiday. The record-breaking toll
for a Labor Day holiday weekend
followed the record high in acci
dental deaths over the 1949 Fourth
of July when 711 persons died vio
lently, The record mark is the
761 fatalities over the four-day
Christmas period in 1936. |
About 30,000,000 automobiles%
crowded the nation’s highways,
the Safety Council estimated, as!
the nation observed the final holi~
day weekend of the summer sea
son, Weather generally was fair,
Plane crashes figured in the
fatalities. Included in the plane
deaths was Bill Odom, the famous
round-~the-world flier, who erashed
in the Thompson Trophy Air Race

Stands Still
MIAMI, Fla, Sept. 6—(AP)—
A giant tropical hurricane with
withs up to 120 miles an hour
churned the Atlantic some 400
miles south southwest of Bermuaa
today with virtually ro forward
movement.
Grady Norton, chief storm fore
caster here, said the gargantaun
storm “apparently is just wallow
ing around hundreds of miles from
anywhere.”
“From information we now have
it appears that the storm hasn’t
moved more than one degree of
latitude in the past 24 hours,” said
Norton.
An air force radar plane icek
off at dawn to track the big twis
ter and reports from the hurricane
hunter later in the day were ex
pected to-give a more accurate
picture of the storm’s progress.
Norton said the storm was ap~
proximately 1,000 miles south~
southwest of New York, about 800
miles slightly south of east of
Charleston, S, C., and between 850
and 900 miles east north-east of
Miami. ’
