i had quita a rep aa a poet for the special occasions which inspire
the muse. Such efforts flow during all seasons, though they are
aimed at a hundred different days and occasions. I sold only
that single effusion. Nut. therefore, Feb. 14 is a milestone in my
life Aftd it haa prompted me to make some research into the
'. origins and history of thi* ingle bi-numeral on the calendar
dedicated to love.
* ______
There are wany theories as to who and what created Valen-
tine's Day. In Europe Its celebration dates to the middle ages,
folks believed that birds began their mating on February 14,
and so set the day aside aa one sacred to lovers. Chaucer wrote
auout It thia way: "For this was Seynte Valentyne's day, when
?very fowl cometh ther to choose hia mate."
An ancient legend holds: "A high priest named Valentine
once worshiped near the palace of the Emperor Claudius, n
Rome. He was beloved by rich and poor. There arase wars in
distant places and the emperor called his subjects forth to bat-
tie. But there had been so many other long wars, the men were
oath to go. Married men did not want to leave their wives.
Cm hearing of thia. the emperor became angry and decreed that
'wedding must be outlawed and engagements called off. The
ood priest Valentine, saddened by this news, began marrying
couples in secret. For thia he w&a thrown Into a dungeon,
where he languished and died.
"But each year thereafter, on the anniversary of his birth,
ftbruftry 14, the people met and honored his name. They talk-
ad about him, his life, his work and hi good deeds. Many were
married on this night, for they said: 'in that way we shall best
keep his memorv green.'"
When "knighthood was In flower" It was believed that the
first unmarried person of the opposite sex one met on St. Valen-
tin*'* morning was a destined wife or husband.. .A custom prac-
ticed In England on Valentine's Day was for young people to rise
oefore the cock crowed, and at that early hour try to snare two
panows and an owl, which would oblige parents to give the
youngstera their blessings. In some localities, a young blade
would write a valentine verse, fasten It to an orange or an ap-
ple slip up to the" damsel's home and toss the love missive
through an open door or window.
The great writers, including Chaucer and Shakespeare, spoke
Of St. Valentine's Day. ..Drayton, a Shakespeare contemporary,
got off a poem, the fourth stanaa of which read: "My Upa 111
Softly lay upon her heavenly cheek. Dyed like the dawning day,
ar polish'd Ivory sleek; And in her ear I'll say, 'Oh, thou bright
morning star! TU I that come so far. my valentine to seek.'
Far toe years, valentine were fashioned by hand; made of
everything from paper to satin; written In Ink, or carved by
nife. The masses had to wait for the. Invention of lithography,
ut when they were still betjg done by hand they could nd
celp In such pamphlets as "Polite Valentine Writers." These
contained proper sentiments for many callings and trades, so a
fishmonger could write: "You are the girl I take delight In,
Much more than haddock, smelts or whiting." The oldest known
of these booklets was published in Britain In 1797. and was
mown aa "Kemmlsh's Annual and Universal Valentine Writer,
or the Lover' Instructor."
Aa English romance primar was titled "Cabinet of Love, or
Cunld's Repository of Choice Valentine"... A baker could please
prettily thi way: "In these hard times it truly may be said,
lhat half a loaf much better than no bread. Than surely,
pretty dear, you glad may be, Since sure of loaves enough, to
marry me." For a butcher: "My nice little lamb, Your Lover I
am; I've money and got a gooa trade. My shop it 1 neat, My
honse i complete; All ready for you. my sweet maid."
In 18, a nag, now extinct, carried a page of "Valentines
|0> ome Divinities" or "Moderate Passionate Avowals to a
uartette of Mythological Ladies." One of the quartette was
Venn, to whom the editor: "On you. young Paris did bestow the
olden Apple, long ago. and why?because he liked you best.
Your rival were so overdressed!'

Dear Sir:
Prices ft the Canal Zone are going up again according to
your paper. Seems'I read somewhere the Canal Zone got Itself
i exemption fiom price control law In effect In the U.S., so
mat makes it legal robbery, and, the Commy mutt have a big-
ger profit.
It klnda makes one groan to see the Commy undersold in
the Republic of Panama where they have duties, etc. But It'
getting so I buy less in the Canal Zone and more In Panama
and I'm going with the crowd.
Someone in the Canal Zone who figures out all of the sta-
tistics ought to figure out how much each eligible patron is
apending In the Commy now. compared to what was being spent
a year or two ago and take Into consideration the cost of
tnings then and now.
The price of cigarettes are going up to what will be almost
double the cost of the same Item in the Army Sales Stores.
It seems we were fed a line about unlabeled canned goods
ta the Commy being bought by government agencies when it
looked like there might be a shortage some time back. Those
are like the canned goods the Army uses unlabeled. I'd like
tc take some of the 70-odd cent-per-carton cigarettes the Army
Aft you know one government agency to another.
Once the Commy put out the propaganda that they make
muta profit on unessential things like cigarette* so they can
aw leas on necessities like canned milk.
just got a letter from Stateside giving me some prices in
jfcw York City:
Canned milk tall) 2 for 27 cents: peas. No. 1 can, 2 for 33

The question of allowing
Greece and Turkey to Join the
North Atlantic Treaty Organi-
zation admittedly has not stir-
red American imagination*.
We favored the idea from
the start, and have taken It
pretty much for granted.
But the issue was a touchy
one for the British, who held
out many months before fin-
ally endorsing the plan.
They preferred Greece and
Turkey to be part of a Middle
East Command closely allied to
NATO but still distinct.
The Scandinavians, who fear-
ed being dragged into a wftr
on account of action far from
home, were even tougher hold-
outs than the British. But
they too finally agreed.
This year the Senate
Foreign Relation Com-
mittee speedily and unani-
mously approved the
Greece-Turkey entry, fore-
shadowing favorable action
by the Senate itself. In the
light of thi, no one ex-
pected the Senate vote to
be anything but routine.
Yet, at it turned out, it
was fust a little too rou-
tine. The move wo taken
by unanimous voice vote,
which was fine. But only
six senators were on the
floor at the time.
And that is a pretty shame-
ful representation under any
circumstance, routine or other-
Granted It was a formality,
It Is possible to suspect that
our stout Greek and Turkish
friends would like to feel that
more than a corporal' guard
of senators are interested in
formalities affecting their se
curitv and welfare.
However chcring the ac-
tual result, it stands a
something of an affront
that so many senators con-
sidered it more essential to
be elsewhere. And. inci-
dentally, fust where were
the other 90? Some are al-
ways out of town, of course,
especially in election year.
But the reit might find it
embarratsing to account for
their time.
Since most committee do
not meet during Senate ses-
sions, it must be assumed that
the majority of absentees were
busy in their offices' meeting
constituents, handling their cor-
respondence and otherwise at-
tending to their less Important

ors' view of the relative prio-

Can Toft Win?
ly Joseph and Stewart Alsop
WASHINOTON.-A prfeslonal attempt to
answer the great Republican question, "Can Tft
win the election?" is now being privately cir-
culated In Washington.
Its sources, admittedly, are men friendly to
General of the Army Dwlght D. Elsenhower's
candidacy. Its results, which are unfavorable to
the Senator, are admittedly speculative.
Yet the facts presented are so interesting, in
and of themselves, as to be worth recording.
The principle of the study was to concede to
Sen. Taft every state he might reasonably hope
to carry in a national election. On this basis,
every state in the union was Placed In the Taft
column except for two categories.
One was the Solid South, and the other the
small group of industrial seaboard states where
a defeat for Sen. Taft has already been predicted
b- the local Republican leaders.
The South was defined as including Alabama,
Arizona, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky,
Louisiana, Mississippi, New Mexico the Carolinas,
Tennessee, Texas and Virginia. No Republican
candidate has carried even one of these states
for twenty-four year.
Furthermore, the Dixiecrat leaders who would
actually like to *ee the Republicans break the
Solid South as a lesson to the northern Dem-
crata, regretfully state that "Mr. Republican"
cannot overcome the local Democratic prejudices.
If this reasoning is correct, a total, of 140 elec-
toral votes would pile up against Sen, Taft in
the Southern sector.
The seaboard industrial states listed as lost to
Taft are California, Connecticut, Massachusetts,
New York, Pennsylvania and Rhode Island. This
is of course the more argueable part of the elec-
toral analysis.
Yet Truman was only barely beaten by Oov.
Dewey in Dewey's own home state of New York
because, In 1848, 800,000 New York voter went
for Henry Wallace.
With those votes in their normal place In the
Democratic column, New York would have gone
Democratic by over 400,000. In California, Demo-
cratic registration outnumbers Republican by a
factor of two to one.
In Pennsylvania, the Republican machine in
Phllalelphla, which has decided all the recent
elections when the state hat gone Republican,
whs swept into the dustbin by the Democratic re-
formers. Joseph Clark and Richardson Dlllworth.
A recent poll of registered Republicans, taken
in Pennsylvania to determine whether oen.
Elsenhower should be entered in the primary,
how*d 8 to I entiment tot Itoenhower against
And thi 1 considered, net unreasonably, to
imply a much heavier opposition to ten. Taft
among Pennsylvania' independent veten, who
will of course decide th* outcome. Similar factor
caused the inclusion Of the southern New Eng-
land states.
The total of these seaboard industrial state
thus counted a lost to Sen. Taft 1 1S7 electoral
votes. Add the 148 of the Solid South, and you get
a total of 288 electoral votes against Taft.
This would give the victory to the Democratic
candidate by 17 electoral vote, more than a
majority, or a plurality of 85.
Or, If some Southern votes were registered for
a Dixiecrat, the absence of any candidate with
rn absolute majority would throw the election
Into the House of Representative.
While the conclusions of this analysis may be
disputed, it cannot be said that Its concessions to
Sen. Taft are altogether ungenerous.
It gives him Illinois and all the other Midwest-
ern states carried by President Truman in 1148;
every one of the normally see-saw Rocky Moun-
tain states; the usually Democratic states of
Washington and Oklahoma; such disputable bor
der states as Maryland, Missouri and West Vir-
ginia: plus one big break in the seaboard in
dustrial llne-un, in New Jersey. ^ ^
Altogether, the analvsls shows Oen. Taft, carry-
ing 14 states with a total of 147 electoral votes
than went for President Truman last time.
No one can sav that Sen. Taft will not greatly
suroass these estimates with a fighting campaign
such as he plans to wage.
Such a camoalgn will be particularly effective
If President Truman Is a candidate again, and
the debate is thus transferred from the great
Issues of survival to such matters as administra-
tive corruption.
But it is also well to remember that Gov. Dewey,
who Is so much criticized for his "me-too" cam-
paign In 1948, actually ran miles ahead of almost
all local Republican candidates waging the type
of campaign ftdvocted by Sen, Taft. And above
all. it is well to remember that President Truman
win probablv not desire to succeed himself.
The practical political facts remain. In order
to win. sen. Taft must either break the Solid
South, which his warm-M; friends among the
DMerats say he cannot do. .
Or he must pass something of a miracle above
the Mason-Dixon line, winning an extremely
high proportion of the nation's independent
The real question la, therefore, whether or-
thodox ultra-Republicanism has great potential
appeal to the independent vote,

WASHINGTON, (NBA).Heroes In tight spot
never know whether they'll get medals pinned
on them for bravery or be forced to face a
court-martial for taking unnecessary risk.
That's an old saying in the Army and Navy.
It has now arisen to plague the four American
\lr Force men ransomed for $30,000 apiece after
heir plane had been forced to land in Hungary,
Nov. 18.
Hot only are congressional committees still
nterested in this Incident. An Air Force Flying
Evaluation Board has been convened in Ger-
many to investigate how and why the plane
happened to get lost.
This is routine Air Force procedure to prevent
bad accidents from happening again And to
avoid repetition of mistakes.
New Information on the case of the lost C-47
has been received In Washington.
It reflects no definite discredit on the two pi-
lots. Capt. Dave Henderson and Capt. John P.
SWlft. nor their two flight sergeants Jesse A.
Duff and James A. Elam.
But It does raise ft number of questions on
flight planning In Europe.
This was a regular U. S. air attache supply
flight from Erdlng Air Force depot, northwest
Of Munich. Germany, to Belgrade. Yugoslavia.
Missions out of Erding are flown on a roster
It Just happened that this particular crew
drew the assignment. Captain Henderson had
made the flight before. Captain Swift had not.
Belgrade airport closes down at 2 p.m. for de-
parting planes, but is open till dark for arriv-
ing planes.
First reason for thia is that the airport has no
lighted runways.
Second reason ia that the Yugoslav govern-
ment doesnt want any planes frying over Its
landscape after dark.
Sunset In Belgrade in November Is around 5
p.m. local time, and it's dark half an hour liter.
Any plane that didn't arrive by that time would
be out of luck.
The flight plftn filed by Cptln Henderson
called for a run of four hours and 45 minutes,
Trdlng to Belgrade.
This plan we filed with the Yugoslav eon-
aulate at Munich, which presumably cleared the
plane Into Belgrade, so It arrival was expected.
The plane left Erdlng at 10:56 a.m. local time.
With a 4:45 flight, it should have arrived at 3:41
p.m., over an hour before sunset and an hour
and a half before dark.
En route, however, the plane ran into bad
It was an instrument flight from Erding, Ger-
many to Innsbruck, Austria, which the crew did
see through a hole in the clouds at 16,000 feet.
From there thev were on. instruments again
to Boiiano, Italy and Venice. They had to tftle
this round-about route, much off ft straight
course, lor instrument check points.
From Venice thev had to fly visual flight rules
northeast to Udine, Italy, then southeast to
Ljubljana, Zagreb and Belgrade.
There Ira railroad line to follow from Udine
to Belgrade, but they couldn't see It and flew
dead reckoning. >
The plane checked to by radio at Udine at 3:38
p.m.. local time. But this was only six minutes
beiore they were due to Belgrade, and they ttlll
had 400 miles to go.
Zagreb and Belgrade have only tow-power ra-
dio beacons with a range of 30 to 40 miles, but
Captain Henderson and hUTrew never were able
to pick them up.
They were lost from the time they left Udine
until they followed a Soviet fighter plane which
buzzed them, and landed at Papr, Hungary at
6:05 p.m.
They were thus to the air for seven hours, In-
stead of the leas than five houn their flight
plan called for.
The radio equipment Just didn't work proper-
ly, but this may have been due to atmospheric
conditions. The radio compass was off Seam
And the only clear signal received all day was
from Udine.
What went wrong with the radio will probably
never be known because the Russian still have
the plane.
The question of whether weather forecasts for
the route were adequate i ft* important factor
for the Evaluation board.

Drew Pearion Says: Kefauver facet New Hampshire show-
down on Ambassador to Vatlcon; Pat Hurley still
talks about oil and the Near East; Tips for King
committee on California tax finagling.
WASHINGTON. President Truman' entry in the New
Hampshire primarle will probably force a showdown with sen-
ator Kefauver on one red-hot issue which hia friends would like
to have him duck an ambassador to the Vatican.
The political situation lh New Hampshire, boiled down to
simple terms, is that the Catholic population is largely Democrat
while Protestants are largely Republican. The top Democratic
leaders of the state are also Catholic.
Therefore, to make any headway with the voters of his Own
party, Kefauver advisers think he will have to take a firm stand
In favor of sending an ambassador to the Vatican.
Otherwise, they advise, Marry Truman, who haa already ex-
pressed himself, will walk away with the Catholic vote.
Meanwhile, sentiment In Kefauver's home state and most of
the South from which he must also win delegates la strongly
against sending an ambassador to the Vatican.
A desire to Choke the Tennessee Senator out on this dyna-
mite-laden issue we reported to be one reason why the pres-
ident reversed himself to remain in the New Hampshire primary.
Perennial Pat Hurley, who ha run for the Senate to New
Mexico almost more times than people can remember, 1 now
campaigning vigorously and Is still talking bout hi pet theme-
Pat visited the Near But when he waa special envoy for
Roosevelt, rendered a report on the oil situation, and like to
tell hi audiences all about it.
Apropos of Pat. gracious Gladys Dempsey wife of the former
governor of New Mexico, tells about one of her servants who
attended a Hurley political rally.
"She was a Republican," explained Mrs. Dempsey, who to %
stanch Democrat. "I knew she was a Republican," ahe added
quickly, "but if so hard to get servants these day."
"One evening," she continued, "the maid went to one of Gen-
eral Hurley's political rallies, and the next morning I asked? her
how she liked It.
"She replied 'all right,' and didn't seem Inclined to talk
about it.
"I didn't press the conversation, but finally the asked: H.
Dempsey. where's Iraq and Iran? Are they to the eastern pert
of the state?'"
Here are some tips to the King committee now probing tax
flnafllng in California
In Loa Angeles County See who It was who protected de-
Buty sheriff Ouatti when he wag under tax investigation regard-
iff protection money received from a house of prostitution op-
posite the Los Angeles County honor farm.
T-men secured evidence that two checks for $600 and $400
had been passed on to the deputy sheriff, but. just ft the ease
got hot. a top official to the revenue agent's office reached down
and called off the probe.
Deputy sheriff Ouastl was later Jailed by Loe Angele of-
ficials on another charge.
But the Interesting question to: Who called off the Federal
government which Is supposed to set a standard of clean govern-
ment to municipalities.
In San Mateo Take a look at the tax cases prepared by
the Treasury against gambler Emello Georgettl, otherwise called
Gombo; also Al Glonottl. the big slot-machine operator.
After treasury agent William Berket discovered $400,000 o
Georgettl's hidden income, someone In Washington sudden!/
called off the dogs. _
In the case of Gionottl, T-men painstakingly Interviewee

it looked like a sure-fire tax fraud, until Washington inter-
vened. Then It was dropped. Who was responsible?
In Los Angeles Check on Earl Muntz, former used-oar
dealer advertising himself as "Madman Munti,",who was under
tax investigation to what was considered a fraud case.
However, a cash settlement was offered by Muntz and re-
commended by the ryeyue agent on behalf of the Tr*aurjr.
Later, the revemse aeae accepted a Job with th* taxpayer tie
had been investigating.
Weekly Newspaper iolt One of the oldeat systems of print-
ing weekly newspapers is being discontinued by the Western,
newspaper union partly as a result of high costs, partly becaus
of a Justice Department anti-trust suit.
It's the "ready print" service which prints four to eight in-
side pages for weekly paper, thus saving heavy printing coats.
The service, established in 1865, went to 1,600 weeklies but 1
folding this week. ...
Echoes Of Prohibition Herbert Hoover's 12-mile limit off
the coast of the United States established in the rum-running
days of prohibition has boomeranged back at us in Korea,
U. N. negotiators wanted to fix a three-mile limit off the
Korean coast where our warships could cruise, but the Chinese
came back with the 12-mlle limit which we established to pro-
hibition days as the international boundary off erery coast.
Reluctant Belgium Averell Harrlman is urging President
Truman to blast the Belgian government for Its refusal to carry
its share of the all-European Army. Harrlman haa told the
White House that Belgian opposition Is disgraceful and that
something should be done about It ta a hurry.
Manpower Padding Former O-man Mel Purvis, who help-
ed capture bad man John DUllnger, has been investigating gov-
ernment hiring.
He will soon report to the Senate Civil Service committee
that clvll-servlce hiring has been abandoned during the defense
emergency, and that getting a governmept Job now depends on

He warned that "we must not
hasten headlong into decon-

speaking we want as little con-

President Truman nominated

you ought to be able to dial any
long distance telephone number
you want In any North American
That's the prediction of Robert
F. Landry, American Telephone
and Telegraph Co. engineer, who
planned the far-reaching project
which will make calling a num-
ber in New York from Los Ange-
les almost as simple as telephon-
ing next door.
The first major step win be the
establishment of 100 control
switching points to serve as a
crossroads for the 2,800 toll cen-
ters in the United States and
St. Louis, selected because of
its central geographical location,
will be the site of one of the first
CSPs. Landry said long distance
dialing should start here In 1955.
He said the complete change-
over to the dial system will be
largely accomplished within the
next decade.

RUTH MILLET! Says
She has an Important joband
she knows it. It Is running an
elevator. Maybe that doesn't
sound so Important to you.
But it is. For she works in a
hospital. All day long she opens
her elevator door to folk who are
sick and hoping to be made well,
to relatives who are distraught
and worried about a patient.
She must sense at least part
of the drama that touches her
life each day. For she has a
cheerful smile for those who en-
ter the cage she runs up and
down all day long.
If a distraught passenger gives
a wrong number and corrects It
apologetically there is no impa-
tience shown. If she holds the
elevator a moment for a hurry-
ing passenger, she doesn't look
annoyed or bored. She smiles.
For passengers whose faces
have become familiar she has a
pleasant good-morning. But for
everyone she has a look that
takes Into account the fact that
they are peoplenot Just pas-
There are so many women
working In so-called small Jobs
who don't realize how Important
their Jobs actually are. And yet
when a woman does realize that
her Job Is Important enough to
be done cheerfully, what a dif-
ference it makes to those she
It must make a difference to
her. too, realizing that her Job is
important. For what more bor-
ing Job could there be than tak-
ing people up and down, up and
down ail day long in an elevator
if they were all just id many
annoying passengers?
It must help a lot to see those
passengers as people. And to
treat them like people. And to
those she treats like people she
becomes a person, too. For she
has discovered the one and only
way to make a small Job Import-

Would Run to Aid Peace
Swiss Avalanches
Continue Destroying
Lives And Property
ZlfllCH, Feb. 13 (UP)Two
new avalanches In the Swiss
Alps today burled a skiing par-
ty, destroyed a group of 17th
Century mountain chalets, and
raised Europe's snow and storm
toll to 74 killed.
The latest casualty was a 33-
year-old mother of two chll-
Inlren. She was killed when the
skiing party she was with In
the Val Murails near Pontre-
slna was buried by tons of cas-
cading snow.
Mountain guards rescued the
remainder of the perty.
Another large avalanche slid-
ing down Brienzerrothorm de-
stroyed all the buildings on the
slope, Including a number of
historic houses buUt in 1M3
which had never previously
been damaged by snow.
A series of smaller avalanches
thundered down among the
peaks In Pays Densuat near
Fridourg as the ten-day blank-
et of continuous snow deepened
with each hour.
Swiss meteorological authori-
ties warned that the avalanche
situation In many area was
"critical" because warm weath-
er further loosened the snows.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 13 (UP)
President Truman was quoted
yesterday as saying he would
seek re-election, even at the
risk of shortening his life, If it
would help the oause of world
The remark was relayed to
reporters by Rep. Adolph J.
Sabath (D-Ill.i after a White
House visit at which the con-
gressman urged Mr. Truman to
run again.
Sabath said the 67-year-old
President gave him some rea-
sons why he should not be a
candidate and "I gave him
some reasons why he should."
The Illinois congressman gave
reporters more details about the
President's current political
thinking than any recent White
House visitor.
"He talked about how It is a
killing job, how it killed Frank-
lin D. Roosevelt end how he
has put In his seven years,"
Sabath said.
"But, he said that if he
actually feel* that It would
be of aid te America and the
world, he weald be willing te
aerifica his health, shorten
hi* life, and be a candidate
"He thought that if It would
help bring about peace and
benefit the nation and the world
he would, In that Instance, run
Mr Truman will be 68 In May.
The only President In history
Inaugurated at that age wae
William Henry Harrison In 1841.
He died In office a month later.
Mr. Truman Is proud of the
fact that he exercises regularly
and keeps in good physical con-
dition. But, he has said many
times the Presidency Is a gruell-
ing job.
Sabath said the President
feels that "perhaps conditions
may develop which may not
make it necessary for him to
run again" and which would
enable some other Democrat to
do the job just as well.
He did not say what those
conditions might be.
There have been reports that
Mr. Truman might hold off his
own decision until the Republi-
cans pick their presidential no-

Russia From Enemy
BERLIN. Feb. IS (UP) The
Grand Dike Vladimir, pretender
te the throne of Russia today
asked the Western nations to
loin with him to "free Russia
from the common enemy."
Vladimir, nephew of Csar Ni-
cholas n who was executed b!
the Bolsheviks, warned the Wee'

and Communism with Russia.
He said that the Russian peo-
ple have been the first victims of

Mr. Leone's stable is small If not select. It includes some blue

the moment his enthusiasms are centered in a two-year-old colt
by Wdlife out of Picture Hat (very respectable breeding) named
Mr. Broadway, which comes to the races this season.
"I named him after Jimmy Walker," Mr. Leone Informs. "He'll
always be Mr. Broadway in my book."
The former mayor, now deceased, who fathered the present
boxing bill and Sunday baseball here, was an old friend who used
to spar In an Improvised gymnasium in the famed W. 48th Bt.

It is to be hoped Mr. Broadway Is more punctual In keeping

In the theater does not describe him as a man of rare perception
or business acumen. There are two instances which offer illumi-
nating testimony.
On later occasion when his friend, Preston Sturgess, ureed
him to take over "Strictly Dishonorable" he was stonily unim-
firessed. "It doesn't hang together," he told the playwright. But

The entire breeding world was plunged into mourning when
it became known Mr. Leone had bred Poundltout to Coconlno. a

This la the gentlemen's determined way of proving everybody's

Mr. Leone is also a fancier of heavyweight prise fighters. For
years he has been on the prowl for a rugged hunk of lethal man-
power. Once he tried to convert his wife's brother, a fine, un-
sunding young Irishman, to the ring. It came close to breaking
up his home.
Another time he had Bow Tie Jimmy Bronson giving an im-
migrant Swede seoret lessons in a barn on his upstate farm. This
experiment lasting several months, ended when the Swede kept
on getting heavier, much to Mr. Leone's bewilderment Turned

His latest adventure was with Tex Coulter, the All-American

Been So Long
Fans Believe
They're Dull
By HARRY ORATION
NEA Sparta Editor
PALO ALTO, Calif., reb. it
(NBA)Dink Templeton deplores
the fact that Just once in this
country have people had an op-
portunity to see what a real 6000
and 10,000-meter race is like.
That was In the 1982 Olympic
Oame In Los Angeles, when Ore-
Kti's Ralph Hill had Finland's
url Lehtlnen well beaten, but
waa almost tackled trying to
pass. The crowd was so upset
about the fouls, that the pusllan-
lmous Judges who stood for them,
because the Finns were already
vexed, that they scarcely remem-
bered what a grand race it waa.
They also witnessed a remark-
able 10,000, when Poland's Kuso-
cinaki ran way from the Finns.
"But most folks in this coun-
try believe these races must be
deadly dull," lamenta Templeton,
who coached Stanford for so
many years.
"They should get one look at
the astonishing mil Zatopek. In
London In 194. the Caech Army
Officer was getting the pass-and-
slow-up treatment from the
Swedes and Finns until, with
nine laps to go, he suddenly got
tired of it, and decided to shake
Dan Oehrmann Fred Wilt
"He Just plain sprinted 400
meters, leaving them a good 70
yards in arrears.
"When everyone suspected that
was the end of the laborious-
looking Emll, he Just uncorked a
beautiful two-mile as a finish,
and to give them something more
to remember him by, winning by
more than S00 yards.
"Zatopek looks heavy and mus-
cle-bound. He has a weird style,
breaking his right-arm rhythm
about every three strides, reach-
ing down as though to stretch
his knee, and turning his entire
body to the right every time he
does it."
Templeton supposes that Fred
Wilt would have to be a very or-
nery, stubborn customer to step
out of the mile racket now.
"Wilt has become part of an
act that draws the crowd," points
out the long-time Stanford tutor.
"The promoters would make
him feel like the worst kind Of a
heel if he stopped stooging for
Don Oehrmann."
Templeton, now a San Fran-
cisco radio producer who voices
his track thoughts In a column
for Spotts Editor Walt Oamage
of the Palo Alto Times, contends
it Is poor conditioning for both,
especially In an Olympic Oames
year, when a 10,000-meter man
paces a terrific finisher with his
eye on the 1900 meters.
Though It might be tough for
Wilt to pull out of his mile tan-
dem with Oehrmann, In the or-
der named, Templeton insists the
O-man ought to do it right now,
for his own good and that of the
United States Olympic team.
Templeton boldly goes Into the
old business of expense accounts
stressing what his experience
and training tells him u a sad
mistake In the preparation of
Wilt and Oehrmann for the big
show In Helsinki.
"There always is the question
of how much the promoters are
paying the ble stars,' he Says.
"Long ago the really top ones
thought nothing of collecting
tlOOO an appearance, and, as
Charley Paddock always said,
'Never take a check.' When Olenn
Cunningham was the kingpin,
they publlthed American income
tax figures in Sweden, and I'll
never forget Ray Malot, the
Stanford quarter-mller, when he
returned from a summer tour,
and reported reading in Stock-
holm that Olenn had paid taxes
on $32.0001"

Slmonovlch, long sought as
the kingpin of the illicit alien
traffic, has claimed he was
kidnaped by U. S. agents and

captured him Nov. 4 standing on
a lonely airfield near here.
