German Prewar Auto
Under Test to Set
248.3 MPH Record
HOLLYWOOD, Calif, May 5—A
“Hitler-built’ ’prewar racing car
is being made ready for entry in
the Indianapolis races on Memorial
Day. It is a Mercedes-Benz V-12,
just brought to this country, which
set a world record of 248.3 miles
an hour.
The car has many unusual fea
tures. It has a tubular frame,
five-speed transmission, and a
trick suspension. The driver sits
four inches off the ground. Its
480-horsepower engine is assisted
by a two-stage supercharger.
The engine is set at a diagonal,
with the drive shaft clearing the
driver on the left side. It has a
double overhead cam, four valves
to a cylinder, roller-bearing crank
shaft, and twin magnetos. It is
water-cooled, and uses methanol
alcohol as a fuel.
The car was brought to this
country by the Don Lee Experi
mental Engineering Company, and
is now being tested on the Califor
nia salt flats. It was built just
before the war in the Hitler pro
gram to develop high-performance
motors.

Veterans Relax
After Voting On
Exchange Store
Veterans relaxed and forgot
their troubles last night, listening
to the Prairie View Swingsters
rock the old Assembly Hall in a
jazz program that followed the
monthly business meeting of the
association.
During the business meeting, the
group, was told by A. E. Hinman,
newly elected president of the Ex
students Association, that “the ex
es will be behind you in every way
we see fit.” Hinman read and ex
plained the resolution adopted by
the exes last Saturday, which ex
pressed full confidence in the board
of directors: urged the legislative
committee to continue to make its
investigations carefully, completely
and fairly; and urged wholehearted
support of all to whatever solution
may be found to end present dif
ferences.
“The quicker these troubles
can be smoothed over and for
gotten, the better it will be for
the school,” Hinman said. “We’re
going to have to give things and
take things.”
The question of Exchange Store
profits was discussed by O. E.
Courtade and Arthur Matula, stu
dent members of the Exchange
store committee. Courtade stated
that manufacturers would not stock
the store unless standard prices
were 1 charged. With few cash
sales, and most of last year’s bus
iness done with the Veterans Ad
ministration, the store made a
large profit for the first time last
year, Courtade stated.
The veterans voted to request
that funds from next years prof
its be given to the library for
books and air-conditioning rath
er than to the operating fund for
the Student Union Building, not
yet erected.
Sam S. Williams, treasurer,
asked every veteran on the campus
to contribute 50 cents or a dollar
to the “clean-up” fund which has
financed anti-administration fight.
The association has so far expend
ed $627 on the fight, Williams an
nounced, the largest item being for
lawyer’s fees.

3 Plastic Surgery
Centers Designated
In Dallas District
Three hospitals—McKinney, New
Orleans, and El Paso—have been
designated as plastic surgery cen
ters in the Dallas Branch Area,
acocrding to Dr. Lee D. Cady,
branch medical director of the Vet
erans Administration. The latter
will be used only when facilities
are overtaxed at other hospitals,
Dr. Cady said.
Plastic surgeons are available
through agreements with South
western, Dallas, Tulane, and Louis
iana State University medical
sschools.
Movement of the VA hospital
from McKinney to Dallas at a later
date is contemplated for the con
venience of both veterans and sur
geons, stated Dr. Cady.

time industry to a peace-time will
their population remain unchang
ed.
C. Horace Hamilton, ’23, head of
the Department of Rural Sociology,
North Carolina State College, clos
ed the afternoon session with an
address on “The Application of
Population Research to Welfare
Problems.” He told of the need
for population studies specifically
related to such problems as health,
medical care, care of crippled chil
dren, afflicted adults and the aged.
He also described the application
of population and vital statistics to
the development of a hospital and
medical care program, with partic
ular reference to North Carolina.
The program was brought to a
close at noon, May 2.
The number of disabled veterans
awaiting induction into training
for vocational rehabilitation con
tinued to decline during January
1947, Veterans Administration said.
Veterans Administration estim
ated the World War II veterans
population for March 1 at nearly
14,500,000 and the total veteran
population at approximately 18,-
