umph of far-reaching importance
not only for the intrepid drive,
but for engineering research as
well. While he tied Lou Meyer’s
record of three wins in this great
speed classic, Shaw achieved even
greater distinction by becoming
the first man to win two Indift-
napolis races in succession, it
was the 21st consecutive year in
which the winner rode across the
finish line on Firestone Tires.
Every car in this year’s race
was equipped with Firestone
Champion Tires. The three for
eign drivers, Rene Dreyfus and
Rene LeBegue of France, and
Raul Rigantl of Buenos Aires,
came to Indianapolis with for
eign tire equipment, but changed
to Firestone upon the advice of
American drivers, and after hav
ing given the American product
rigid tests in actual practice runs
on the track. Despite the fact that
the pace was fast enough to es
tablish a new track record at the
300 and 350 mile marks, there
was no semblance of tire trouble
on any one of the 33 cars entered
in the race.
Up until the 375 mile, when
rain made it necessary for the
officials to hang out the yellow
caution flags, the race had been
a three-cornered fight with Shaw,
Rex Mays and Mauri Rose battl
ing tor the lead. Although Shaw
was out in front most of the time,
both Mays, who finished second,
and Rose, who finished third,
wrested the lead from him at
times.
The Information obtained since
Firestone won the first of Its long
string of victories at Indianapolis
21 years ago has been utilized by
Firestone In designing and con
structing a better and safer tire
for the average car owner.

ed by H. P. Eller, is the local

Washington.—Warmly endors
ing an organized “stop Hitler
now” movement. President Roose
velt worked yesterday to rush all
possible material help to the Al
lies, while Congress continued Its
rapid-fire action on the national
defense program, now grown to
25,021.619,622.
The Chief Elxecutive announc
ed to a press conference that the
nation’s lists of military supplies
were being combed to see what
might bb spared for the beleag
uered French and British. At the
same time, the Senate, by a G7-to-
18 vote, approved legislation to
permit the government to dispose
of surplus World War gmns In a
way which will make them avail
able to the Allied armies.
Reporters attending Mr. Roose
velt’s press conference noticed
upon his desk the full-p.ige ad
vertisement which was inserted
In many newspapers' yesterday
by the "committee to defend A-
merica by aiding the Allies.’’ It
bore a big black streamer: “Stop
Hitler Now.”
“We can help—if we will act
now,” was one of its statements,
‘we can help by sending planes,
guns, munitions, food. We can
help to end the fear that Amer
ican boys will fight and die in
another Flanders, closer t o
home.*’
A reporter asked the President
for comnfent on the advertise
ment. He replied that he had not
paid much attention to it until
he learned it had been written by
Robert E. Sherwood, dramatist,
author of “Abe Lincoln in Illi
nois,” and the current play on
Finland, “There Shall Be no
Night.”
Without meaning, Mr. Roose
velt said, to endorse each phrase
contained in the advertisement,
he thought It was a mighty good
thing, a great piece of work, edu
cational to the people of this
country- It was well, he said,-that
William Allen White, the chair
man of the committee, was plac
ing such things before the people
of the country.
