Rely on Rules Book Soap Box Derby Director Zeb T. Hamilton announced today that Washington's third annual coaster race for boys will be held Saturday, July 13. The date chosen for The Star- Anierican Legion sponsored Derby | comes shortly after District schools | close for the summer, and almost a full month before the new Wash- ington Derby champion will leave for Akron, Ohio, to compete in the national finals. i The Derby is open to boys be- tween 11 and 15 years old, inclusive, who live in Washington, or nearby communities in Maryland and Vir- ginia. Last year’s champion, Carl Cederstrand, jr., 12, lives in Wash- ington, but the 1939 runnerup, Clark B. Stewart, 14, lives in Chevy Chase, Md. Minimum Age Raised. - One of the chief changes in the | 1940 rules places the age minimum | at 11 years instead of 10, the mini- mum in 1939. | Mr. Hamilton emphasized that | under the minimum set for eligi- | bility for the race on July 13, a boy must have attained his 11th birth- day anniversary on or before the day of the race. Similarly, a boy who nas his 16th birthday anni- versary on or before July 13 will not | be eligible. | Mr. Hamilton cautioned boys who | | already have started to build their | Derby racers not to get too far | ahead with the construction work, but to wait until the 1940 Soap Box Derby rule books are ready for dis- | tribution. 1 “The books should be available at the Chevrolet dealers sometime | this week,” he said. “We will make | |an announcement in The Star and over Radio Station WMAL as soon | &s the books are ready for distribu- tion. and registration is possible. Until then, go slowly, so that you | | don't have to do anything over to | conform with rule changes.” | Allowed to Buy Wheels. Under the rules of the Derby, | | boys who enter the race are required | | to build their own cars, being per- mitted to buy factorv-made wheels and axles. Total cost of the car | | must not be more than $10. and the | | rules prescribe certain restrictions | as to weight and dimensions. The entrants are permitted to re- ceive advice from their parents and from shop teachers, but every bit | | of construction work must be done | by the boys themselves. | For the winner of the Washing- ton Derby, The Star will provide a | trip to the national finals at Akron, | Ohio. where the champion will meet other city champions from all over the United States, and have a ! chance to win a four-year scholar- ship to the State universitv of his choice—grand prize for the national | | champion. | Norman Rocca, 1938 champion. | fand Carl Cederstrand will tell | about their trips to Akron in a, radio broadcast over station WMAL | tomorrow at 4:15 p.m. Mr. Hamilton and Bill Coyle, ra- dio director of The Star. will talk with the boys during the 15-minute broadcast. Prizes for Heat Winners. Every boy who enters the Wash- ington race will receive something g | {0 remind him of one of the most exciting times of his voung life. In | addition, each winner of the elimi- nation heats receives a prize. In last vear's derby. Carl Ceder- strand guided his streamlined white speedster down the Massachusetts avenue course time after time until he finally emerged as champion. Carl succeeded Norman Rocca as Derby champion for the National Capital, Norman having won the 1938 race on a slope down New | { Hampshire avenue NE. outlasting 225 other contestants in a driving | rain. Mr. Hamilton said ‘that the loca- tion for the 1940 derby will be an- nounced at a later date. but prob- ably would not be held at either of | the two previous sites. | (Watch The Star for Derby News.) ‘Widow and Son Share | 1$300,000 Dulany Estate An estate valued at about $300,000 | | was left by H.

Other damage apparently was caused by incendiary bombs, for ruins of the buildings were charred and the briclls were well smoked. Despite pre¥ious reports that anti- aircraft had §een set up in the Nam- sos area since the first days of the German invasion. a British officer let the cat out of the bag as I talked with him. Asked if he had come close to hit- ting an enemy aircraft. he replied: “Hell, man, we've only been set up five hours—haven't even warmed up the gun vet.” Further inquiry elicited the in- formation that all British batteries and the French rapid-fire guns twere erected. only vesterday I was told that the only French | troops in Norway up to this time are the famed Alpine Chausseurs ‘Blue Devils,” equally at home on skis or o foot. They belong to the same regi- | ments whish helped train the first American diwsions in France dur- ing ‘the World War. I inquired if any of the troops here were in the last war, for men of this regiment helped train my 26th Division from September. until early in 1918 (M Lodge is a veteran of the World War.) Denies Foreign Legion Sent. I found only one here, Rene Langres, who went to the Luneville | sector with the American division in December, 1917. He said reports that the French Foreign Legion was in Norway were ridiculous. “The prestige of France would not allow such a thing,” he said. “The first Prench units must be of French nativity. That's way my country operates.” British officers told the story. “There are a same few Canadians | here.” said “one. “but thev are | mostly in the air force. All land | troops vou see here are from the British Isles. mostly north country- men.” The broad Yorkshire and Lanca- shire dialects bore out his state- ment. The soldiers T talked to were the Norwegian ! countryside, but each regretted the lack of sufficient tea. The majority of the French troops arrived eight davs ago. Among them is Maurice Lafoque, from Chamoix. noted French skiier, whose ability is a great asset here. He told me the Alpine troops ar- rived with a convoy of two de- stroyers and two torpedo boats. | Communications Poor.
