POLICE STOP CAR RACING

Angry Reaction From Crowd (N.Z. Press Association) PALMERSTON N„ Feb. 24. Police stopped stock car racing at the Palmerston North Showgrounds on Saturday night for 15 minutes when spectators in the crowded main stand refused to move after being asked repeatedly to stop sitting in the aisles.
