Indianapolis, May 31 (AP) In one of the most spectacular holdups ever staged here, six men late last night held up about 200 guests at a speedway day dinner dance at the Broadmoor country club just northwest of the city limits and escaped with money, jewelry and other valuables, the total value of which, club officials said, was between and $200,000. Several of the city's most prominent business men and department store owners were among the victims. The dinner dance, was held in connection with the annual 500-mile race at the Indianapolis motor speedway yesterday and many out of town guests were present. It was said the club bers and their guests were wearing much valuable jewelry. No clue as to the identity of the men was obtained aithougn good descriptions were given to the police.

The men spent about twenty or thirty minutes In the building before departing. Just as the dance was in full progress, four men rusned In the main 'door and forced A. S. Lubell, club manager, to hold up his hands. Two men with sawed off shotguns pushed into the ballroom and with several companions guarded the enrtances and forced all of the dancers, and other guests to line up against the wall.

The guests were then ordered to toss their jewelry, watches, billfolds and all their pocket money Into a large canvas bag. Ernest. Fisher a guest, was struck on the head when he did not comply with the bandits order quickly enough to suit them. A thorough search was made for a safe in tne building despite the efforts of A. M.

president of the club to convince them that there was none there. Halls and rooms were searched by the bandits for guests who might have hidden. Several shots were fired into the ballroom over the heads of the guests when some became unruly and women became frightened. After about 30 minutes in the clubhouse the bandits made their exit in an orderly manner and sped away toward Indianapolis.

Augustine. Fla. (AP) A huge transparent' bird, with' skeleton of strong chrome molydenum glistening through a glossy skin of tough, non-inflammable celluloid, stands with outstretched wings on a sandy beach here, waiting for its inventor, Capt. George White, to give it a trial in the air. Six years ago Captain White, of Stony Brook, Long island, aviator, Hying instructor during the world war and a technology student, declared: "Every one know that birds lly, and no one has proved that man cannot imitate bud flight.

He began working on this principle, and today tne results oi his laDor is represented by a loot-propelled, wmg-liapping, motorless ornlthoper wnien Dears the grace-lul lines of a nuge eagle poised lor ilight, until recently the aviator was reluctant to reveal the" nature ot his research into mechanical bird flight. He feared his experiments would create uniavorable reaction. Last fan, however, his work had progressed to a state of perfection which caused him to attempt to take the air in his machine at Cocoa Beach. He was in the air 12 times and crashed seven. The last spill knocked him unnconscious.

out eaclTspuChe declared has been attended by subsequent improvement of his model. In his longest flight at Cocoa Beach he rose six to eight feet above the ground. In an earlier model several years ago he was up seven times and on one occasion covered 400 yards, touching the ground twice on the way. Captain White believes his latest model is capable of self sustaining flight and thinks that if luck is with him he will soar to new records. The plane weighs 118 pounds.

Captain White weighs 160 pounds. There are nine primary feathers covered with protectoid at the tip of each wing, which close on the downward beat and open on the upward beat of the wing. At the back of each wing are eight secondary "feathers. The thicker part of the wing, next to the chassis, corresponds to a birds wing from the body to the first joint. The undersire represents a single surface and is carefully contoured.

The average width of each wing is four feet, so that together they have a supporting area of 112 square feet. If the plane tips too far to one side the wing on that side beats faster, similar to the action in rowing a boat, to keep it on a straight course. Heavy rubber shock absorber cords attached to the wings supply the ornithopter's muscles and balance the wings in flight A five-year-old child can flap the wings from the foot fulcrum with one hand. Turns are executed buy beating one wing faster than the other. The large tail Is operated up and down by a single hand lever.
