On Bennington . . . Services Honor Carrier Dead ABOARD THE AIRCRAFT CAR RIER BENNINGTON, Quonset Point, R. I., June 1—<-<5*)—A solemn, motionless crowd aboard the flight deck of this huge carrier yesterday honored the 100 ofifeers and men who died in an explosion and fire in the craft last Wednesday. Scores Burned Scores were burned—many criti cally—in the holocaust which oc curred at sea while the giant war ship was returning to Quonset from a routine cruise. An estimated 2,500 persons, in cluding high ranking Navy officers, relatives, friends and shipmates of the victims attended the special Memorial Day service. A bright sun fell on the 32,000-ton mouse- colored carrier as she lay in smooth Narraganset Bay. And on the deck were the warship’s crew, ranged in motionless ranks. There was no sound save occa sional sobs, thed rone of swiftly- passing aircraft and the solemn, soft voice of the ill-fated carrier’s commander, Capt. William F. Ra- born, who told the hushed throng: “ ... It is difficult to express the emotion which I feel and that which I know you feel . . . Mere words cannot express the heroism and courage of these gallant men who gave their lives . . . that this great ship might live. “I say to you shipmates, let us be inspired by these brave men . . . let us show the same courage of these men as w;e go forward. The loss will be felt by each one of us.” In extending condolences to the victims’ next of kin, Capt. Raborn said, “We want to assure them that these men have not died in vain.” ~ Vukovich Wins Speedway 500 BITX, SELE, REXT OR TRADE. Rates ... 3c a word per Insertion with a 15c minimum.

FIRST NATIONAL BANK CITY NATIONAL BANK FIRST STATE BANK & TRUST CO. COLLEGE STATION STATE BANK BRYAN BUILDING & LOAN ASS’N By JERRY LISKA INDIANAPOLIS, June 1—UP)— Bill Vukovich, poker-faced throttle demon from Fresno, Calif., zoomed to a record-breaking triumph yes terday in becoming the third man in history to win the grueling In dianapolis Speedway 500-mile race two successive years. As the huge, sprawling crowd of an estimated 175,000 held its breath while black clouds threatened to deluge the finish, Vukovich became a speedway immortal with Wilbur Shaw and Mauri Rose. Shaw wpn two straight 50Q’s in 1939 and 1940, and Rose in 1947 and 1948. Vukovich, buried in the seventh rpw at the start of the four-hour grind, moved into first place at the 230-mile mark and then bat tled it out with Jimmy Bryan of Phoenix, Ariz., and favored Jack McGrath of South Pasadena, Calif., the rest of the way. Vukovich gunned his grey fuel injection special the tortuous 500 miles at 130.840 miles per hour to finish exactly one lap ahead of runner-up Bryan. Third went tp McGrath, who was. the pple car US Considers More Aid to Indochina WASHINGTON, June 1—UP)— The United States is talking with Viet Nam and France about giving American officers the dominant role in training native troops to fight in the Indochina war. American officials are reported to be convinced that if the war goes on the training program must be radically revised and that native troops should be organized into di visions, which may total 10,000 or 12,000 men, rather than the much smaller battalions the French have been developing. Officials said here that final de cisions on the training proposals will be made as part of the possible program of American and Allied intervention in the Indochina fight ing—a program that the French government is expected to press for if the Geneva conference fails to produce an armistice in Indo’- china. State Department officials said they understood there were reports in Indochina that the government of Viet Nam had agreed to an American training program but they said they had no information to bear out such reports. Furthermore, it was pointed out here that France still has over-all command of miiltary operations in Indochina and the final word over Viet Nam’s foreign policy. So the key decision is that of the French government which presently is con centrating on getting a truce. driver after a record qualifying mark of 141.033 m.p.h. Vukovich’s clocking was almost two miles per hour faster than the 1952 track record set by Troy Rutt- man, who wound up fourth yes terday after relief help. Ruttman’s record time in 1952 was 128.922 m.p.h. Vukovich, who wants “two or three more” 500-mile triumphs be fore retiring to a 40-acre grape farm near Fresno, was rewarded at the finish line by an enthusiastic kiss from TV and mpvie star Marie Wilspn. Bill’s wife, Esther, also gpt in a big hug and kiss. Ideal weather prevailed until akpnt 80 miles from the finish, when a stprm front accompanied by a gusty wind moved over the sprawling speedway plant. With debris and a fine mist scat tering the course, the ,“slow up” yellow signal went on for six and one half minutes. Vukovich gunned for the record all the way, despite the slow-up and a 12 minute, 25 second warn ing which marked one of the mis haps midway in the wild scramble. The nearest to a tragedy among the four accidents came as Jimmy Daywalt and relief driver Pat Fla herty locked wheels after Daywalt caromed off the outside wall on the northwest tuxn. However, both drivers were able to wallC away from the cars. On the 191st lap, another thrill cqme as Jimmy Rathm^nn sHid^led wildly 299 yards ^ireptly in frbnt of the finish stands but brought his car under cohtlol and walked off the track;. The lead chapgred hands seven times, involving six drivers, be- fqre Vpkbvich went ahead for keeps on the 150th trip around the 2V2 mile brick and asphalt course.
