INI‘DIANAPOLIS, Feb. 5.'—Is it pa-
triotic to watch the won\i’s greatest
automobile drivers spin around a
speedway at 90 miles an hour?
Throughout Indiana. the question is
being debated bitterly as a bill pends
in the State Legislature that would
wipe out the famous
Motor Speedway pace.
Introduced and pushed through the
Senate by Robert L. Moorhead. In-
dianapolis. a. colonel in the \Vorld

dianardepartment or the American
Legion, the G. A. R., and Sons of Vet-
erans, the bill became a storm center

Opposition to Big Race.
"It has been impractical in Indian-
apolis to have any proper observance
of Memorial Day because of fire
lurrah and contwion connected with
t ic race." said Moorhead. "I! we must
lose the‘ace."
Opponents answered in a full-page
advertisement:
“The most impressive memorial
ceremony in America. is held at the
speedway oetore the race. law and
order are preserved before. during and
after the race by soldiers in the
American uniform. ~

America's dead is to keep their spirit
alive." ‘

llion opposing the bill. Perry Faulk-
