HomeMy WebLinkAboutThe Seaforth News, 1962-04-26, Page 7Sterling's Car Always Breaks Down 'If you want to interview me," British race driver Stirling Moss told a reporter the day before the twelve-hour Sebring (Fla,) Grand Prix of Endurance last month, "see me a few hours after the race starts, After my car breaks UP, It will break up, you know," Moss was wrong. Eris red No. 26 Ferrari, a three-year-old, front -engine model, held up well enough for Moss and his team- mate, Innes Ireland of Scotland, to lead the race after seven hours, Then their hopes ended abruptly, No. 26 was disqualified for refueling without completing the required twenty laps be- tween pit stops. "That wasn't very fair," said Moss, "We had come in for brakes and tires, When the pit steward opened the tanks, the mechanics put in gas." With Moss out, the Ferrari driven by Jo Bonnier of Sweden and Lucien Bianchi of Belgium won the race. Once again, Moss, physically, technically, and psy- chologically the best driver alive, had been thwarted, The previous day, in a three- hour race for Grand Touring cars under 1,000 cc„ Moss had another unhappy experience. Early in the race, on a wet course, where skill meant more than power, Moss's superior han- dling kept his Austin -Healey Sprite ahead of the faster Fiat- Abarths, But once the course dried, no amount of skill could compensate for a lack of horse. power. Moss finished third; New Zealand's Bruce McLaren, in an Abarth, won. "Oh, well," said Moss. "It was fun while it last- ed." Moss, 32, has grown accustom- ed to disappointment. His failure to get the best cars hurt him most in Grand Prix competition, the matches among purebred racing machines which determine the world driving championships. Moss refuses to sign with a fac- tory team; the factories, in turn, refuse to sell him their latest and best cars, So he often competes In one- or two-year-old models. Despite this, he has been runner- up to the world driving champ- ionships four times. "It doesn't frustrate me any more," he said. -"After all, suppose I won the championship. What would be left? I'd have to retire." How They Try To Hoodwink Police Although hit-and-run drivers frequently try to hoodwink po- lice with a variety of ruses, it's a losing proposition. Police are gll to all the tricks, and all the Crrant motorist can expect is to further incriminate himself. litre are some of the ploys and euaes, and why they don't work. Driver phoning in and'report- ing his car has been stolen. But if police are looking for a hit- snd-run car retisembling h is "'stolen" car,' they will ask for every minute detail of the 'theft". The driver who begins contradicting himself or "can't remember" crucial details will be warned that giving a false report to the police is an offense (public mischief) carrying a $50 line. Few drivers persist in lying beyond this point. Deliberately getting into a sec - end minor accident to cover up the damage from the first. (Po- lice on the lookout for a certain hit-and-run c a r keep cross- checking the descriptions of cars involved in other accidents,) Claiining that somebody had borrowed the car and'must have been driving at the time. (This alibi becomes shaky when police demand a list of all the people who might have borrowed the ear.) "Forgetting" who was at the wheel during the accident. (At best, this is only a stalling tac- tic.) Admitting knowing , who was driving, but refusing to say. (Police parry this one by quot- ing a little-known amendment to the Criminal Code that makes a passenger in a hit-and-run car just as culpable as the driver.) Freely admitting full knowl- edge of the accident but insisting that all the proper exchanges of names and addresses took place — with a person whose name has now been forgotten or mis- placed, (This is a tough story to MERRY MENAGERIE *I'll thank you to stop 'de - ring to out place as your RORF'1" SNOW SCULPTRESS -•-Secre- tary Margaret Taylor forgoes her tea break to fashion a miniature snowman on win- dow sill outside her office in very wintry London, England. shake when all the other circum- stances make it feasible — but they seldom do.) Reporting in as .a victim of a hit-and-run. (This one is the ul- timate in nerve and gall. It must sound plausible, must be con- firmed by evidence police find around the fictitious scene, must seem to negate evidence gath- ered at the real scene, and must account in detail for the daPlage to be found on the phony com- plainant's car. But rarely does.) Invisible Poor in the United States It was 25 years ago that Frank- lin Roosevelt looked put and saw one-third of his nation "ill- housed, ill -clad, and ill -nourish - •ed." Today, in an America cele- brated for history's highest standard of living, few would argue that the conditions depict- ed in Roosevelt's second inau- gural have not vastly improved. And yet in an eye-opening new book ("The Other America,' Macmillan), a young social critic named Michael Harrington has turned up an "economic under- world" in the U.S. with no fewer than 40 million to 50 million inhabitants. Harrington's claim to be heard Is based on two years with a Roman Catholic social. service group on New York's Bowery and past studies of American poverty for such mag- azines as Commentary and the Partisan Review. The U.S. Bureau of Labor Sta- tistics figures that about $6,100 is an "adequate" annual budget for an urban family of tour. Har- rington takes half et this figure ae-has standard of poverty, and arrives at the staggering numbers above. Over-all, however, he says that "the new poverty ... cannot be defined in simple statistical terms." Harrington tries to do it through revealing detail; "Poverty is often off the beaten track. The ordinary tourist . , . rides interstate turnpilees. He does not go into the valleys of Pennsylvania where the towns look like movie sets of Wales in the '30s." "Death plays a peculiar role in the life of (Harlem)... , Under- takers are among the most re- spected members of the Negro middle class ... Dying is a mo- ment of style and status, at least in the impoverished world of the racial ghetto." "Clothes make the poor invis- ible . America has the best - dressed poverty the world has ever known .. , It is much easier in the United States to be decent- ly dressed than itis to be decent- ly housed, fed, or doctored. Even people with terribly depressed incomes can look prosperous. "Once depression hits an area, its very life seems to leave . And' then the vicious circle be- gins to work. Because a place is poor and dispirited, manufactur- ers don't want to locate there; because of this,'the •area becomes even poorer." "For most middle-class Ameri- cans, aid to 'farmers' is a gigan- tic giveaway, a technique for robbing the urban millions and giving to the countryside. Yet the poor farmers do not, for the most part, receive a cent as a result of these laws." According to Harrington, the political and social facts of U.S. life dictate that only the Federal government is capable of acting to abolish poverty ("in saying this, T do not rejoice . , .") But he is less than hopeful that it will be done. For while there is information enough for action, Harrington says that political will is lacking, Whether or not readers agree With Harrington's answer, his presentation of the problem is impressive. ' It is a shame that "The Other America" will prob- ably not sell very well. The com- fortable majority isn't interested enough, and the people who are can't afford $4 for a 191 -page book. From NEWSWEEK Rhinos breed only once in ev- ery two or three years and Usual- ly have a single calf. Listening To A Porpoise Chorus We were 2 miles off the north coast of Florida on the blue waters of the Gulf of Mexico, The white sands of the beach gleamed in the distance. A few feathery clouds were scattered here and there across the other- wise elear sky. I had just shut off the motor, and our boat e gray Navy speedboat known technically as a ,"24 -foot plane personnel boat" — was drifting In the light swell. We had stopped because we had sighted a school of dolphins or porpoises playing or fishing about haat a mile away. Our mis- sion was to listen to the under- water noises made by free or wild porpoises in their natural state and if possible to obtain tape recordings of their sounds... There must have been nearly twenty in the group — a rather large number for this locality, When within 50 or 75 feet of our craft, they all submerged and swam directly beneath us. Look- ing down through the water, we coud see dark shapes streaking swiftly past. During all this time, the only noise we heard them make in the air was the "whoosh" of exhaling breath as their blowholes were momentarily out of water at the top of each arc — and even this was audible only when they were close to the boat. But the underwater listening gear told a Very different story. The intermittent tapping or sput- tering which had been barely discernible from the speaker when the animals first turned in our direction grew in intensity and in continuity as they ap- proached. When emitted by a single porpoise alone, this noise -as we had learned before—is a concatenation of clicks or clacks such as might be produced by a rusty hinge if at were open- ed slowly. It was soon apparent, however, that a number of the animals were making the sounds together, and more seemed to join the chorus as they came nearer. Superimposed upon this increasing clatter was an occa- sional birdlike whistle resembl- ing the "cheep" of a canary. As they came still closer, the sputtering noises continued to grow louder and still louder. Taken together, they' suggested the roar of an approaching rail- road train, except perhaps that they were more irregular. By the time the group was about ready to make its final dive, the cre- scendo from the speaker in our boat had become a clattering din which almost drowned out the human voice. Then abruptly, as if by prear- ranged signal, it stopped comple- tely and left us in shocking sil- ence. At that moment, they swam beneath the boat. A single -bark - like sound was now repeated once or twice, and the porpoises with their underwater chorus were gone. Never before that time—and never since—have we been for- tunate ortunate enough to capture such an auditory event on magentic re- cording tape.—From "Porpoises and Sonar," by Winthrop N. Kel- logg.
