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.” ~

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

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.
