'NOVICE DRIVER WINS AUTO CLASSIC Lou Meyer, Le Los Angeles, Travels Almost 100 Miles Per Hour Indianapelis, May 30.--A baby- faced youngster, just 23 years old, Lou Meyer of Los Angeles, won the 500-mile automobile race over the Indianapolis Motor Speedway to- day, defeating the crack drivers of the nation, while a record-breaking crowd of from 135,000 to 150,000 roared their tribute. The sheik from Los Angeles, winning Ris first major race, rode © the efitiré distance without "relief, finishing with a lead of about 2% miles over Lou Moore, whose car at the finish was being driven by Louis Schneider, relief pilot. George Soudgrs, former Purdue ' University student, winner of the 1927 race, pulled up in third place, about five miles behind Meyer. Ray Keech, of Philadelphia, hold- "or of the world's straightway rec- ord for the mile, was fourth, trail- "lug about 25 miles behind the fly- ing leader. Fifteen of the original 29 starters finished the punishing rind, but with all of the pre-race avorites hopelessly out of it.

Meyer's average of 99.482 miles per hour set a new récord for the track for motors of 91 cuble in. piston displacement. Pete de Paolo set the track record of 101.13 miles per hour in 1925 with a motor of 22 cubic inches displacement, Last year's time was 97.46 with the same size motor as was per- mitted S0dak. sed Year-Old Car Neves who a week ago did not have enough money to buy a car, was enriched to the extent of about $35,000 as a result of his victory. He only succeeded a week ago in digging up a Boston friend as his angel to furnish the money to pur- chase his car. The machine really is an old timer in the racing gawe. It was used by Anthony Gullota in finishing third in the race a year ago. Given a coat of red paint, with a huge number 39 painted in black on the hood and tail, Meyer was as proud of his car as if it bad just come out of the shops. Looking back over the race, Meyer was never out of the first ten from start o finish, After trailing from ninth to fifth posi- tion for the first 250 miles. Meyer suddenly moved up into second place, and thereafter he was never worse off than third place. Meyer broke into the racing game as a mechanic for Frank El- liott, who has since retired, and a vear ago rode a few laps in the Indianapolis race as relief driver for Wilbur Shaw.

Meyer snatched the lead from Jimmy Gleason on his 46%th mile and from then ou he stepped on the gas, holding it until the finish. Gullota, always a danger- ous challenger, suffered a stroke of misfortune when within a few miles of the finish his gas line be- came clogged on the back stretch and there he was stalled. Gleason, who led the race for miles and seemed certain to have victory in his grasp, also fell a vic- tim of misfortune in the closing miles of the race when his motor gave him trouble and he was forc- ed to quit, The trio of favorites, Leon Du- ray, Los Angeles; Cliff Woodbury, of Chicago; and Cliff Bergere, an- other Los Angeles entry wound up in disaster early in the race, the victoms of motor trouble. Duray at the outset, set the same dizzy pace he showed in his qualify- ing round and burned up the course as leader for the first 162 miles. Bergere was forced out with a broken distributor shaft before speeding 50 miles and Woodbury was declared out on his 137th mile speed because of a broken timing gear. Duray found solace in the fact, however, that he had won $5,800 in lap prizes with Gleason picking up $2,000, and Babe Stepp, an< other one of the early challengers, $1,900, They were rewarded with $100 for each lap of the race they led. Meyer and Gullota, however, did not share in the lap prize money, because the distribution ended after the 144th lap. Ear] Devore, a racing veteran, smashed into the north wall during a shower, hut escaped injury, The gas tank of his car was smashed, forcing hiny out of the race at 404 miles. Gullota was hanging onto the lead by a slim margin at 450 miles, with Gleason chasing him a quart- ef of a mile back, Meyer was 3rd. Phe time was 4:88:47,64, an aver- age of 100.449 miles an hour, For the first time the speed dropped below the record of 1925. (#leason went back into the lead at 452 miles by cutting loose with a terrific burst of speed. Ira Hall, of Terre Haute, Ind. sustained only slight injuries when his car hit the retaining wall on the east side of the track. Benny Shoal, of Mattoon, Ills. a young driver, smashed into a re- taining wall in the north end of the traek while making the turn at terrific speed, bu escaped seri- ous injury. His car was wrecked. He was on his 82nd mile at the time, AMERICAN TOURISTS SPENT $206,000,000 IN DOMINION LAST YEAR Washington, May 30.--For every dollar Canadian tourists spent in the United States in 1927, Ameri- can tourists spent four dollars in Canada, This is the conclusion reached after analysis of figures just published by the United States Department of Commerce which estimates that American tourists spent $206,000,000 in Canada last year while Canadians visiting ths country left $51,000,000 behind them. This Includes tourists who travelled in their own automobiles lers. Compilers of the report to Secre- tary of Commerce Herbert Hoover express the opinion that the Cana- dian Ministry of Trade and Com- merce which published a similar report some time ago, placed the average expenditure of Canadian auto tourists in the United States Loo high. The Canadian report esti- mated that' Canadians spent here an average of $120 per automo- ble. The American report "prefers to apply to this group the average expenditure derived from the Cana- dian ministry's figures for the cor- rseponding Amercan group" which was $51 per automobile, . In 1927, 3,154,000 American automobiles were admitted to Cau- ada for touring uurposes an ine crease of 52 per cent over 1926, The largest incrcase was in cars admitted for ome day only largely as a result of the opening of the new Peace Bridge at Fort Erie. The American report estimates (hat about $39,000,000 was paid by returning Americans on declared dutiable goods which brings down to $197,000,000 "the net invisible debit from this border traffic." Money spent by passengers to and from ocean ports is now included in this part of the survey. Eipeudi~ tures by Americans going to Can ada by sea is estimated roughly at $8.000,000. The total spent by American touring abroad including Canada is estimated by the de- partment's report as between $500,000,000 and $761,000,000 in four year period ended 1926. The report admits there is room in this report for a wide margin of pos- sible error. perhaps as much as $100,000,000. as well as rail and steam travel- BALDWIN HINTS AT YEAR OF CAMPAIGN Reviews Conservatives' Work and Asks Further Confidence London, May 30.--Premier Bald. win, addressing 70,000 people in the grounds eof Welbeck Abbey, forecast a strenuous year of cam- paigning, declaring: *"I speak to you today at the first of wany meetings which I shall attend in the next twelve months to show you how we have tried to keep faith with the people who put us into power three and a half years ago and to ask remewal of your confidence when the time comes.

Bvery Trade Union meeting sees thé Communist qdestion debated, and the usual result is a flat ue- nunelation of Communist tactics or any association with the Red ele- ment in British Labor ranks. The feeling is particularly strong be- cause Labor fears that the Com- mujsts will seek to weaken the Unions from the inside by propa- ganda with .a view to eventually capturing them. For this reason Labor refuses politically to acknowledge them, fearing they would soon control the party machine. Moreover, La- bor asserts that the British elecor- ate would never stand for the Communists, HIGHWAY SAFETY COMMITTEE RADIO PROGRAM TONIGHT -- Toronto, May 29. -- The High- way Safety Committee of Ontario will open its radio broadcasting campaign on Thursday at 8 p.m. Standard Time, or 9 p.m, Daylight Saving Time.
