It's a story of silence required by the men studying charts, instruments and mechanical parts to determine how those parts withstood the punishment they received during the 36th Annual International 500 Mile Race at Indianapalis Speedway. l9 Tt)mpiatwm mc AfMtt I 10 it Light drizzle ia forecast for tonight in New England while scattered showers and thunderstorms are expected in the southern plains states, the central Mississippi Valley, the Dakotas and northern Rockies.

II Socialists Will Rim Candidate For President CLEVELAND WP The Socialist party has decided to run a candidate for president this year, but it won't be Norman Thomas, who has been their nominee six times. At opening session of the party's 28th national convention Friday, 200 delegates decided after much argument to enter a candidate for the nation's top office. Thomas, who is currently tour ing the Far East, had said he would not make the race, and nearly a third of the delegates felt it would be a waste of party resources to back a national slate. ine socialists could not even get on the ballot in Ohio and 15 other states, their national secretary, Robin Myers of New York reported. Miss Myers, who seeks the party's nomination for vice president, said a Socialist ticket had a good chance to make the ballot in 18 states and a doubtful chance in the 15 others.

ON SUNDAY delegates will pick their candidate probably from these three men who have been soliciting delegates' support Darlington Hoopes, national party chairman and a Reading, attorney; Samuel H. Friedman, New York public relations man and national vice president of the CIO Community and Social Employes Union; and William A. Briggs, 37, of Los Angeles, a wholesale television salesman. Dies In Cemetery YOUNGSTOWN Theron O. Mason, 55, past commander of the American Legion Post at nearby Hubbard, fell dead in a cemetery there while waiting for a Memorial Day program to begin Friday.

He had marched in the parade to the cemetery. Miami, Mrs. Jean Scott of Pittsburgh, and Mrs. Mary Elizabeth Cott of Gardner, and eight grandchildren. Private services will be held Monday.

Burial will be in Oak- wood Cemtery. MRS. BESSIE N. LOWE CUYAHOGA FALLS Services for Mrs. Bessie N.

Lowe, 69, of 1624 Second wife of former Falls Service Director John Lowe, will be at 2:30 p. m. Mon day in the Weller Funeral Home A life resident of the Falls, she was active in politics and was secretary of the Summit County KepuMican dub. She was a mem ber of many Summit County and Falls civic and political organizations. Burial will be In Oakwood Cemetery.

Friends may call at the funeral home. It's a story which unfolded hours after Troy Ruttman croiiwd the finish line as the 1953 champion. One which affects almost every person in the United States, a nation of automobile owners accustomed to hopping into the family car for any trip longer than the distance traveled between the sofa and television set. Before the silence came a spectacle to which only a person of Phineas T. Barnum's descriptive ability could do Justice.

LONG LINES of cars and pe destrians, some waiting weeks to get inside, started moving through the gates at 4:06 a. m. Friday. They moved for hours until the crowd whica had muled outside was milling inside. The people who attend this race are from all walks of life.

One woman may be wearing furs, another will bo more, comfortably clad in shorts and halter stares follow each. It's a crowd that never seems to settle fully. And the show goes on, ignoring the apparent disinterest of some. Studebaker put on a pre-race cavalcade in which costumed Butler University students portrayed characters out of the past in carriages ofi the past. Ab Jenkins, who recently joined Firestone Tire Rubber Co.

staff, drove the same Studebaker in the pa rade which he piloted to a crosscountry record back when this big dog of the racing world was just a pup. Purdue University's marching band gave a pre-race show and Morton Downey added to the musical program by singing "Back Home In Indiana." AKLENK DAHL, the movie actress whose red hair was a sig nal for 10,000 camera fans to race to the scene and start clicking, gave a short speech. Miss Dahl was contracted for the kissing ceremonies she planted three lingering ones on the winner while Mrs. Ruttman watched, marooned on the other side of the track, The Star Spangled Banner was played and the crowd saluted our soldier dead. Then came the announcement, "Gentlemen, start your motors." Moments later the 33 cars trailed the pace car once around the 2 mile oval and into the SOO-mile grind.

Troy Ruttman became the hap piest man in the world three hours, 52 minutes and 43 seconds later when he rolled into the victory circle. HIS OPPOSITE, the saddest man, meanwhile was pacing in his garage, cussing his luck. Bill Vukovich took the lead in the sev enth lap of the race and seldom re linquished it. He ran up a total 15,100 in lap money before his luck end steering wheel gave out in the 192nd lap, 20 miles from the plaudits which go to the winner, way back in the pack was driver, unnoticed by everyone except the many Akron fans present. Eddie Johnson of Cuyahoga Falls was piloting one of the cars.

Eddie was In the big race for the first time and he was in it all the way. His No. 81 was one of 20 cars still rolling at the end of the race. Johnson said, "1 drove a steady race and I gave it everything I had. This was the high spot of my driving career.

I didn't do too well, but I'll be back." Johnson drove the Central Excavating Special, an Ohio entry. LAST YEAR only eight of field finished. It's a tribute to the skill of the drivers and to the genius of the companies whose products were used in the race that 20 of 33 finished this year. And so back to the story which affects the average motorist. Mr.

Average Motorist can thank the "500" for the development of the rear view mirror, the high compression engine which propels his passenger automobile, the brake lining rwd in his car and for the Improved lubricants which ease the wear and tear ca his motor. The passenger car owner today looks for comfort when he buys. Through the "500" we now hava foam rubber cushions, shock absorbers and balloon tires to pro vide easier riding. Firestone first developed the balloon tire for the 1925 race Since then the tire has become a necessary part of every automobile. Firestone tires were used Friday for the 29th consecutive year without a failure.

JULES GOUX wore out seven tires when he won thet 1913 race, the field wore out 88. Johnny Moore, chief of Firestone's racing division, said Friday that he thought the official figures would bear out his contention that fewer tires were worn out In 1952 than in any previous year. Johnny points out that because of the "500" the average motorist gets a tire with a stronger body and with treads that last longer. Moore said, 'To give the average tire user the best, the Firestone company can't depend solely on indoor machines, labs and test flights. We feel it requires an Actual test there is none tougher than the '500." DUKE NALON, who was forced to drop out of the race in his 84th lap because of a broken super-charger shaft, said, "We drivers have a number of worries, tires are not among them.

We are thankful for the research done by Firestone to give us a tire we can depend on. It's not that they tell me the tires are good, I know they're good." Wilbur Shaw, the president and general manager of the Speedway, took time out from a million and one details, to ask this writer to say hello to all his Akron friends. He said, "As long aa I had to become ill, I'm glad tt happened In Akron. The friends I have there are wonderful. I'll be In Akron for the 1952 Soap Box Derby.

I get to flag the first race and then watch the remainder from an easy chair." Art Weitzel, director of photography for Firestone, photographed the start of the "500" for the 26th time Friday. For the start, Art's staff stands by with cameras at half mast while the "old man" performs. Bob Shafer, former 'Akron Beacon Journal sports writer who is now connected with the Toledo Speedway, was in Indianapolis for the race and to look up a stock car driver for his track. Memorial Backdrop St Tk AsMtiaua' frmm The simmering unrest of Communists in Europe and Asia provided a grim backdrop for the solemn observance of America's Memorial Day. This nation's war dead were honored throughout the United and in Japan, England, France, 'Italy, Germany, Sweden and other foreign countries.

And for most Americans it meant a three-day holiday with picnics and big sporting events. The long weekend Drought a slowly mounting toll of sccidentsl death, mostly from traffic and drowning. There were speeches at some the ceremonies but merely the laying of a wreath In others. The traditional 21-gun salute was fired many. RUSSIAN, POLISH snd Csech United Nations delegates walked away from the grave of the late President Franklin D.

Roosevelt when W. Averell Harriman de clared in a speech at Hvde Park, N. "A former ally which we had helped sav from destruction, In order that It might join In destroying Nazi tyranny, turned traitor to the cause of peace and International id faith, and promoted an even more terrible tyranny of Its own." In Arlington National Cemetery at Washington, wreaths were laid at the tomb of the Unknown Soldier, the Confederate Monument, the Spanish War Memorial and the monument of the Civil War's Unknown Soldier. In the Far East, fighting continued In Korea and Indochina and Martyr's Day Red riots rocked Japan. Tokyo police killed three persons in a Communist mob which attacked with searing acid and flaming oil bombs.

But the only injury to Americans there was suffered by a reporter. Another U. S. newsman was hurt in Kobe. CHURCHMEN AND officials joined Americans in Europe mostly military personnel in observing the day.

Ambassador Walter S. Gifford in England attended services in Westminster St Margaret's Church, London, and laid a wreath on the tomb of Britain's Unknown Soldier. Seventeen Memorial Dav serv ices were held in France, where Ambassador James C. Dunn delivered an addrers at Mili tary Cemetery, attended services in a cathedral in Paris and laid a wreath on the tomb of the French Unknown Soldier. Ambassador Ellsworth Bunker attended ceremonies at Anzio Beachhead in Italy with Lt.

Gen. Lucian K. Truscott, who led the bitter battle there. In Berlin, a 6th Infantry honor guard fired a salute and Gen. Thomas T.

Handy, commander of U. S. European forces, issued a statement saying, "we can pay no greater tribute to our honored dead than to rededicate ourselves to the cause for which they died." His words were given emphasis when Soviet guards fired warning shots at reporters photographing barricades thrown across the border separating the west sector of Berlin from the Soviet zone. BACK IN THIS country, repre-' sentatives of the United Daughters of the Confederacy and other Southerners raised the Confederate banner over the grave of Bene Boyd, a famed Southern spy during the Civil War. Civil War veteran James A.

Hard, who will be 111 Jitfy 15, led ine Memorial Day parade at Rochester, N. Y. Declaring "This might be the last time I'm out and I want to make the most of it," he finished the parade and then ate a lai ge meal.
