Steadily, Indianapolis' Bob Sweikert, 29, a home-town hero who had never before even finished the 500, climbed toward the lead in his John Zink Special. At 100 miles he was third; by the halfway mark he was first. When the checkered flag dropped, Sweikert was still in the lead, having averaged a respectable 128.2 m.p.h.

...Alcoa under a lease, the giant, 50,000-ton press towers almost five stories in the air, and extends three stories underground. As it started up, along with another 35,000-ton unit (built by United Engineering & Foundry Co.) in the same plant, the Air Force marked the halfway point in its $279 million heavy-press program aimed at cutting costs and speeding production of such aircraft components as wing spars and landing-gear supports. Five of the big new presses are already in production ; five more will be finished by year...
