FRENCH AIR RACE
PARIS TO SAIGON AND BACK. (United Press Assn.—Telegraph Copyright.) Paris, October 20. Three Frenchmen are the only likely starters in the air race from Paris to Saigon and back again, which starts at 6 a.m. on October 25. The competitors are: Andre Jafy and Arnoux, flying a Caudron Coeland plane, Leonchalle-Bril and Henry in a similar plane, and Michael Detroyat and Angus, flying a Brequet-Fulger machine. There is one British entry, but it is unlikely to start. When the race was first planned in 1934 it was regarded as a preliminary test for a round-the-world race in 1937. These plans are at present shelved.
