Today's Sports Parade By HENRY McLEMORE United Pre Staff Correspondent New York, Mar. 3 (LP When Sir Malcolm Campbell returns to the United States in 1934 to attempt to better his own world's land speed record of 272.108 miles an hour.

there is a strong possibility he will abandon the sands of Daytona beach as a sjeedway in favor of the hard packed salt beds of Utah. This was learned during a con versation with Bill Sturm, pride of Indianapolis, the British driver's American manager while visiting Sturm, who was abed with the flu, we asked if Campbell intended trying to boost the mark he established in Daytona recently. "He'll be back," Sturm said. "You might just as well try and keep a mouse from cheese as prevent Mal colm from running again. That 300 miles an hour business is in his blood, and he won't be satisfied until he goes that fast." We asked Sturm if Daytona beach again would be the scene of Campbell's efforts.

"That I don't know. Next year is a long way off. Maybe yes, may be no." One year ago Sturm, acting upon orders from Campbell, set out from Salt Lake City and, accompanied by a guide, made an exhaustive study of the grreat salt beds which lie some 120 miles west of that metropolis. What he found was very encouraging. He found a great ex panse of salt, 85 miles by seven miles in area, with a surface as smooth and hard as the proverbial billiard table.

Somewhere within this great white expanse he found the perfect racing courses a cement-hard strip more than 11 miles long and several hundred yards wide. And what is more Important, Sturm found the salt beds little affected by weather. They remained the same day in and day out. They were not dependent upon the wind nor the tides or the moon for flaw less surface. Campbell was in Daytona beach three weeks this year, waiting for the perfect wind and the perfect to whip the beach into perfect shape.

The perfect wind and perfect tide never arrived, so he was forced to drive over a surface that not only endangered his life and his car, but robbed him of many precious miles an hour. What is more, the shells that littered the beach chewed his tires almost to shreds. While the salt beds would appear to have many advantages over Daytona beach as a speedway, they are not perfect. In the first place the rain is likely to leave the surface of the salt rippled after the manner of a washboard. But fortunately, this ripply condition, should it arise during a speed trial, could be remedied by nothing more complicated than having a plain old fashioned road scraper make a trip over the course.

The biggest handicap is their in accessibility. It would require a good deal of money for the equipment necessary for a speed trial. While Mr. Sturm did not say so. we have a very strong hunch that, if Utah should happen to put up enough of what the bays call the old scratch.

Sir Malcolm Campbell will go for 300 miles an hour in 1934 on the sun-drenched salt beds of Utah instead of the crystal sands of Daytona beach. FOUND DEAD AT FARM HOWIE, RIFLE IN HAND Red Cloud, Mar. (IP) County Attorney E. O. Caldwell said today there would be no inquest in the death of Fisher Finnimore, 65, who was found dead late last night at a farm home northwest of Inavale.
