Fl at Be AL Cathe F AREA hy RAO WR Do 3 SMEG ERS RAN | SY ROSES ESTE ROR. LEER ges SA ARSE He Was Fast But Death Was Faster At Le Mans last summer, rash, brash Ricardo Rodriguez, Mex- 'co's finest driver and one of the rest in the world, laughed when in interviewer asked him about death. "There are a thousand wvays to die," said the young man »f 20. "Me I never think about t. I just want to be the best possible driver in the world. I hink I can achieve it one day." Before the start of the first arand Prix of Mexico last month, 5-foot-2 Rodriguez, who had been racing motorcycles and cars since he was 12 but had never won a Grand Prix, had reluctantly rhanged his mind. Pressured by his attractive wife, he made a romise. "I am already entered n this Grand Prix," he confided to her. "But after 1 win it -- and I am determined to win it -- I'll retire from racing forever." - Always exceptionally daring ("It he lives, I'll be surprised," said one rival), he seemed deter- mined to outdo himself at Mex- ico City's Sports City Speedway. Even when Britain's John Sur- tees turned in the fastest trial time Thursday afternoon, Rodri- guez, standing near his mother, father, wife, and racing brother Pedro, remained supremely con- fident. "I can beat that," he said. "lI will beat that now." After a brief pit stopover to have his carburetor adjusted, Rodriguez climbed back into his blue and silver Formula One Lotus and returned to the track. Moments later, when track officials franti- cally tried to signal him to slow down, Ricardo answered with a signal of his own: "I'm going flat out." Heading into the track's most treacherous corner, Rodriguez's speed at the 46-degree turn was nearly 125 miles an hour. "All I could think of was 'He's going much too fast'," said Dutchman Carel Godin de Beaufort, driving a Porsche behind Rodriguez. ' 'He'll never make it." Then sud- denly it was all over." Bouncing off the steel rail on the right, the Lotus caromed off the left rail and rebounded into the right crumpling in half and hurling the youngster 45 feet down the track. Before the am- bulance could carry him to a hos- pital, Rodriguez, his skull shat- tered, his abdomen torn open, was dead. His final race was over --- lronically, one day before Mexico's national holy day of mourning, Dia de los Muertos (Day of the Dead). For his countrymen and his competitors, it was a tragic and senseless loss. 'l have never worried about other drivers, but I have always rorrled about Ricardo," said de "Beaufort. "He always seemed so terribly young, so terribly en- thusiastic, and so anxious to win at all costs. If Ricardo Rodriguez had lived he would have been one of the great ones." Q. Is it considered polite to refuse a cigaret someone offers you, if you prefer your own brand? A. Yes; but refuse graciously, saying, "Thank you, but I have some." L Wold hn rend - "Is this the soclety editor? Well, I have some news for you." UP IN THE AIR -- With a leap and the roar of motors, Gil Delamare prepares to parachute across the English Channel. He dangled in mid-air for 95 minutes all the way across the channel. He was sort of chuting the rapids the hard way. Death Tree Claimed 50,000 Victims It was once a peaceful, tiny village in the midst of sweet- smelling fields, hedgerows and elm trees where on moonlit nights maidens strolled with their lovers beside a gently rip- pling brook. But it became a place of con- stant death! It was the site of the dreaded, "never green" 'Ty- burn Tree which was not a tree, but the grim and ghastly gallows where over a period of 600 years some 50,000 people were hanged -- many also drawn and quar- tered. What a contrast! The gallows, sometimes called by criminals the "Triple Tree" or "Three-leg- ged Mare," was a permanent structure and a common place of execution not only for the wi.ole ~of the city of London but for al- most all England. Wooden galleries were erected near it to accommodate hundreds of morbid sightseers. They flocked to watch murder- ers, traltors, robbers, highway- men, religious martyrs -- as well as miserable wretches who had been caught trying to pick pock- ets -- publicly hanged at Tyburn. Today the new spotlight is fo- cused on this sight because it is the centre of a great reconstruction and improve- est in modern London's history -- at Hyde Park Corner and Marble Arch. For Tyburn Tree, a historic site marked for the curious in recent years by a small, hardly visible, triangular stone embed- ded in the roadway, stood at what is known today as the north-east corner of Hyde Park, the traffic-ridden junction of Marble Arch and Edgware Road. Oxford Street, leading up to Marble Arch, is thronged by thousands of shoppers today. Centuries ago it was called Ty- burn Road and was filled with people watching the pitiful daily procession of cursing or praying men and women as they were marched or dragged along it to the ever-ready Tyburn gibbets. They came from the Tower of London or Newgate Prison which was on the site of today's Old Bailey. The crowds jerred at some, cheered others. Tearful women sometimes gave the hangmen's victims flowers or fruit as they went to the gallows. . Others were plied with intoxi- cating drinks. Many callous sight- seers bawled coarse jests or threw stones when they recog- VIET SUBS-ON PATROL -- US. Defence Department photo shows Soviet submarine flying "Red Star' ensign, with personnel in conning tower observing aircraft which photo- graphed it in vicinity of Cuban operations. Side sh be : x Coasdii Birila ba in Yama once-gruesome __ ment scheme -- one of the great- nized notorious criminals bound for the scaffold, writes Ashley Brown in ""Tit-Bits." Highwaymen were usually popular with the crowd. Famous robber and jail breaker Jack Sheppard's execution at Tyburn attracted a "gate" of 200,000. He had planned another sensa- tional getaway at the gallows it- self and had concealed a knife about him, intending to cut through his bonds and dash through the crowd to safety. But the knife was detected. Sheppard then implored friends close at hand to obtain posses- sion of his body immediately it was cut down. "Try to revive me by putting me quickly in a warm bed," he yelled to them desperately. This plan also failed. The crowd was delighted when a condemned man did cheat the gallows. After a criminal named Dual had been hanged in 1740 he was cut down and it was then noticed that he showed signs of returning life. Eager hands helped to revive him further and the mob sur- rounding him refused to allow him to be re-hanged. They car- ried him off on- their shoulders in triumph to his home. It's on record that when an- other Tyburn "victim," Dr. John Story, was hanged in 1871 the executioner bungled the job bad- ly. After being cut down, the doo- tor rose to his feet and struck the hangman on the head, knocking -- him off the scaffold. The last person to be hanged at Tyburn was John Austin. His hanging took place on November 7, 1783. Then the Sheriffs of London decided to abolish Tyburn and ordered that executions should take place outside the prison at Newgate on a new gallows with an improved type of "drop." There they continued until public hangings were abolished. But not till May 26, 1868, did Eng- land see its last public execution. Blame The Weather On The Moon! When raising crops was more an art than a science, many farmers planted potatoes or gorn at the full moon, in the belief that rain was sure to fall in a few days. Meteorologists, of course, dismissed the idea as a quaint holdover {from pagan times whea ths moem wes wor- shipped as a deity with influence over the weather, Now it seems that the farmers were right all along. Using an IBM 650 computer to analyze U.S. rainfall data over the past 50 years, an astronomer at New York University's College of En- gineering has found that rain ac- tually does tend to fall a few days after the new and full moons. When the moon is only a half circle, Donald Bradley and his associates report in the jour- nal Science, there is a corre- sponding tendency to dryness. "Our findings surprised and shocked a lot of meteorologists at first," Bradley said wryly last month, "but they're checking their own records and they con- firm our findings. One meteorol- ogist in Texas wrote that the lunar influence holds true for his records of 40 years of heavy rainfall in San Salvador. He also has noticed that flash floods in Texas are most likely to "occur just after a full moon." Bradley started amassing his tigures back in 1957 when he noticed some 'odd coincidences" between the positions of the planets and weather. But not un- til two years ago, when he join- ed Dr. Max A. Woodbury's re- search group at NYU, was he given the computers to check out his "crazy" ideas. "We really just stumbled on the moon cor- relation," said Bradley, who still doesn't know the explanation for his discovery. "At first, I couldn't believe it. Surely, I fig- ured, it would have been noticed by now. I put off completing the study for eight months." Actually, the correlation had been noticed--and disregarded. The Jewish Day of Atonement, Yom Kippur, always falls in the second week of the lunar month, and among devout Jews there is an old saying that "it never rains on Yom Kippur." As one of Bradley's Jewish colleagues told him: "We had it under our noses all along, and missed it." Uncle Sam's Call Came Rather Late When William R. Cantrell took a good look at the official docu- ment delivered to him last month, he could only conclude the nation's defenses were worse --off- than anybody had dreamed. The document was a greeting from U.S. Selective Service Board No. 21 in Nashville, Can- trell is 86, almost blind, and hard of hearing. He replied with a snort of amiable derision. "I'd do 'em a heap of good." In fact, he felt about this draft notice the same way he had felt about the Spanish-American War: "A cousin of mine went," Cantrell said, "but I told him I wasn't aimin' to." A spokesman for the draft board said weakly: "It went to the wrong Cantrell." Before You Buy That Used Car Just as the proof of the pud- ding is in the eating, so the real test of the used car is in the driv- ing -- over a period of time. This means after you own the car. But before you buy you can give it some thorough, on-the- spot tests (just as Grandma sam- ples the plum pudding while it is "in the making") that will give a reasonably complete pic- ture. If the salesman has a sound car for sale, he will not object to the tests. If he does object, you've flushed your bird without even beating the bush. The following recommended tests were published in the Sep- tember, 1962, issue of Consumer Reports (a publication of the nonprofit, noncommercial organ- ization, Consumers Union, Mount Vernon, N.Y. These tests are vital in the final stages of buying a used car. After many of them the range of possible repair costs will be giv- en, writes Donald G. Mutch in the Christian Science Monitor. Study highlights and reflec- tions along the body sides (omit- ting fenders) and top. Do this in a good light. Répainted or ripply areas on the metal indicate pos- sible damage to the car's basic structure. - Probe by thumb or finger pressure along the lower edges of body, doors, and trunk area for signs of weakened or rusted metal, Bubbles, blemishes, or flaking of paint, as well as ac- tual rust, are indications of in- ternal rusting, which is difficult and expensive -- and may in the end be impractical -- to repair stiucturally, Run windows up and down; if they do not work, repair is fair- ly expensive, Open the doors and close them without slaming; if they sag, or do not tit, or drop down on opening, or must be slammed to close, they will us- ually be hard to fix, and, worse, may indicate a bent frame. Check the car's interior for signs of hard use or abuse (brok- en cushion springs, worn pedal pads, paint off steering wheel). Check the tires, including the spare. If they are badly worn, and the car is a new model, it probably has run up at least 20,- 000 miles. Unevenly worn treads on any tire indicate that the front end has been, or is, out of line. Realignment costs up to $13. Rebushing, up to $90. Press your foot steadily on the brake pedal for a minute or so, It it sinks slowly under pressure, there is hydraulic leakage, Fail- ure to repair is hazardous, and repair cost runs from'$10 to $50. Start the engine and check all instruments, flashing: lights and gauges to make sure they are functioning. A warning light or ammeter can show that the gen- erator is not charging, Cost to repair or replace $20 to $50. Stand broadside to the .front wheel, grasp it at the top with both hands, and" shake it to and from you with vigor, Clunking sounds, or a lot of free play, is a sign of loose or worn wheel bear- ings or of worn suspension joints. Repair of the latter $20 to $90. Push down rhythmically at one corner of the car at a time, so as to set it bouncing. The car should, when you release it, move up or down and then stop at an equilibrium position, Freer continual motion -- as up and down -- signals worn shock ab- sorbers, which should be replac- "ed for safety as well as comfort (at &15 to £20 a pair.)
