LAND, Oct. 19 -(RP)= Veteran flyers
cocked anxious eyes at the shies today
as they made final preparations for a,
race halfway around the world.
Some 21 planes will soar away Sat-
urday in quest of the fat prizes that
await the, winners in Melbourne. The
race is in two sections, speed and
handicap, and several pilots have en-
tered both.
The entrants are fervently hoping
for good weather for the 11,323-mile
trail will take them over sea, moun-
tains and desert..
As it now:stands the field includes
nine English entries; two from Aus-
tralia; two from New Zealand; one
from the Irish Free State; one from
British New Guinea; three from the
United States; two from Holland and
one from Denmark.
The first definite indication of how
quickly the fastest plane may reach,
Melbourne was given when officials
provisionally assigned the twin en-
Stack of England a handicap allow-
ance of 66 hours 45 minutes 36 sec-
onds plying time in the handicap
race.
These allowances will be subtract-
ed from official flying times for.the
full route to determine winners of
handicap prizes. Stack's allowance
was based on a speed of 184.44 miles
an hour.
The handicap is decided by a
complicated formula based on the
plane's theoretical performance. Al-
lowances range upward to 108 hours

that reputation.

Deposit Insurance Corporation in the manner and to
the extent provided by the Banking Act of 1933."
