CHEATING DEATH
FEARS FOB MALCOLM CAMPBELL (United Press Association —By Electric Telegraph—Copyright.) Received March 9, 1.45 n.m. LONDON, March 8. Lord Wakefield has cabled his congratulations to Sir Malcolm Campbell, adding: “You should be content to rest on the laurels so gloriously earned.” The cablegram epitomises the general feeling that Sir Malcolm Campbell should not further risk his life. Kaye Don, who witnessed the record run, declares: —“The return run was the most heroic thing in Campbell’s career. I don’t wish to see him again dicing with death.” Sir Malcolm Campbell, in response to the Star’s motoring writer, who by telephone begged him to come home, replied: “I still hope to do 300 miles per hour.” A British Official Wireless message says the newspapers pay warm tributes to Sir Malcolm Campbell’s daring and skill and refer to the value to the British motor industry of the data his high-speed achievements have produced.
