DONS CONFDENT OF NEW RECORD ‘Declares Misunderstandings’ Have Not Incurred Any- Wil BY KAYE DON. DAYTONA, Fla., April 4 (N.A.N.A.).J ~For three weeks I have been fighting against unusual circumstances. The force of them has overwhelmed me, but now, while I await the coming of a fair course, 1 can review the situation calmly and dispassionately. Let me say at the outset that I am as confident now of breaking the record as I was when I first stepped off the train at Daytona. ‘There have been incidents which I will describe as being unfortunate, and some misunderstandings, but these have not been occasioned by lack of good will 80 much as by an improper conception of circumstances. Rumor has been rife and most unkind, but I have ignored it, because its source has not been important. ‘These Tumors are not amusing, but I do not think they are injurious, because only those people lacking in common sense could occasion them or give cre- | § dence to them. They are unfair to the | | responsible officials, they are unfair to America, and they are unfair to me. MEN’S CLASS ELECTS W. A. Sparrow Chosen Head of Falls Church Organisation.

The village of Saingeonges was altered beyond recognition, with most of the houses made uninhabitable, five houses at Pouri ooll were closed in several pl ), Comfort— First it was declared that there was | Hiii internal trouble and that the designer of the Silver Bullet, Mr. Louis Coata- len, and myself had quarreled here. That was something we could repudiate, and promptly did so. Actually, I have had but two fair beaches. The first occurred on March 15,.and on that day the official ma- chinery was unprepared, so that I could not attack the record. On the following Tuesday I had a good beach, but my supercharger casing broke and ruined my chances Since then the beach has been im- ssible. I have tried the car out on K’R\'Prnl times, but it would not have been humanly possible to break the rec- ord. LN one occasion I took the Silver Bullet out on the rough beach, and now, & fortnight later, my arms and legs are still bruised because of it. Copyright. 1930.)
