THE AIR RACE VICTIMS
MR SCHLESINGER'S GESTURE A GRANT FOR WIDOWS JOHANNESBURG, Oct. 6. Mr Schlesinger is granting £2OOO each to Mrs Findlay and Mrs Morgan. The remaining £2OOO will be placed in trust for the benefit of their children. He says he is not downhearted at the result of the race, as it would prove a fillip to civil aviation SCOTT LEAVING FOR ENGLAND JOHANNESBURG. Oct. 6. Scott will leave for England at dawn on October 8. MR SCOTT'S SUGGESTION JOHANNESBURG. Oct. 6. (Received Oct. 7, at 10 p.m.) Mr Scott, speaking at a luncheon, expressed regret that the recent race was not for international competitors. He might have accomplished something better for Britain if the entry had been open to all nations It was all very well to say that British aircraft had reached the Rand in a certain time, but other countries might now say that they could have eliminated British aircraft from the start. It would have given British aviation an even greater fillip if a non-Britisher had won Britain was terribly behind in commercial aviation. "If there is another race, for heaven's sake make it international." Mr Schlesinger said he intended to investigate Mr Scott's suggestion.
