CAMPBELL SEEKS NEW SPEED MARKS Hopes to Set Six Records and Possibly 24 at Daytona Beach. By the Assoclated Press. DAYTONA BEACH, Fla, February 13—A grand slam in world records may be essayed here by Sir Malcolm Campbell of England in his forthcom- ing automobile speed trials. The intrepid 47-year-old driver, who has been rolling race cars down the road for years, hopes to set six new records and possibly 24. Primarily, he is here to raise his present mark of 245.773 miles per hour over the 1-mile route and 246.086 over the kilometer, as son as beach and weather conditions permit. Conditions Are Factor. 1t successful in those atempts, there is a possibility he also will seek new | Tecords for 5 kilometers, 5 miles, 10 kilometers and 10 miles. Whether he goes after the other marks, however, is problematical. “I would like best in the world to set new records for those distances,” the British driver declared. “There is| nothing definite, however, regarding my plans, and I will have to wait and see what conditions are when I go for the ! mile and the kilometer. “The whole thing depends on the condition of the beach and whether I find it long enough to try for records for distances up to 10 miles. The big- | gest concern is whether I will be able | 1o pull up to a stop, even on the pres- ent course, which has been lengthened to 12 miles.” Total of 24 Records. Should Campbell decide to try for the new records for six distances from one kilometer to 10 miles, and be suc- cessful, they would become six new international marks for cars of un-| limited piston displacement automatic- | ally. They also would become new American records for unlimited dis-| placement, international records Iar, class A cars with piston displacement | of 488 cubic inches and above, and ! American records for that class, making [ a total of 24 records. Campbell had planned to take his‘ Bluebird car onto the beach today to | permit cameramen to photograph it, but | was prevented from doing so by threats of rain. He expects to have it on the beach tomorrow. g Whether he will make a practice run then depends entirely on the condition of the beach. If it is favorable, he probably will make a short run to test out the motor and determine whether the car is in general shipshape. 2500 DE MOLAY PILGRIMS EXPECTED Robert Le Bruce Chapter Will Be} Host to Gathering Here February 22. More than 2500 members of the Order of De Molay from various States will attend the annual pilgrimage or\ that organization to Washington Feb- | ruary 22, officials of Robert Le Bruce Chapter, host to the visitors, announced yesterday.
