For Freeing U. S.
Fliers From Reds
LONDON (P) The United States asked Britain Friday night to
forward a demand to Red China for the release of 13 Americans
captured during the Korean War and sentenced ofily four days ago
as spies.
But the vehement tone of broadcasts from Peiping' since an
nouncement of the sentences on Tuesday indicated the American
demand would be rejected. The latest broadcast Friday claimed all
13 Americans had confessed in court they were espionage agents.
ine sentences, nanaea aown Dy
a Communist tribunal in Peiping,
ranged from four years to life.
Two of the . Americans were cap
tured as long as two years ago in
November 1952. The others were
taken prisoner in January 1933.
Reject Geneva - Request '
It was believed the United States
sought British action because of
failure of the Chinese Reds to re
ply promptly to a request in Gene
va, on Wednesday for a face-to-face
meeting of Chinese and American
diplomats to take up the matter.
The sentences provoked bitter
denunciations in both the United
States and -Britain.
Britain, which for months has
tried to reconcile U. S. and Chi
nese differences, denounced the
Reds as violating the Geneva con
vention on war prisoners. .
Apparently in reply to these de
nunciations, Peiping radio Friday
carried what it said were verbatim
extracts from the trial record pur
porting to show the 13 Americans
were intelligence agents helping
maintain an anti-Communist un
derground movement inside Red
China. 1 '

The radio said the accused "an

he was not named asked Arnold
to describe his air wing, identified
by the Reds as "the 581st air re-

It quoted the American as re
plying: "It is said in the indict

PORTLAND (Special) The
South Salem Saxons battled
Marshfield'i Pirates to a titanic
13-13 tie Friday night and earn
ed a co-championship for the Ore
gon state title for the big high
schools.
The result brought a dramatic
finish to a tremendously success
ful season for, the new South Sa
lem High School that opened its
doors only this fall. It was the
first time in the 12 years Oregon
has picked state champion foot
ball teams that Salem has gained
even a share of the title.
So there were no "old grads"
but plenty of South Salem rooters
among the 11,866 screaming fans
in Multnomah Stadium. A Saxon
touchdown in the first 2:12 of the
game sent them into a frenzy of
delight as Salem took the open
ing kickof, and went all the way
to the goal in seven plays.
Rainy Reminder
The large, restless crowd . of
predominately Salem rooters roar
ed its approval on nearly every
play.' 1 ' .
When the rain began to pelt
down midway of the first half,
one Salem woman, a veteran of
last year's soggy Salem - Central
Catholic game, shrieked, "Here
we go again!'
Marshfield came back to tie the
score 6-all with about a minute
left in the first quarter, just as
a hard rain sent hundreds of
bleacherites scooting for the high,
covered reaches of the stadium.
The rain bogged down the sec
ond quarter, and there was no

minutes remained ; in the ball
game. LaMoyne Mapes scored the
touchdown on a short gain after

fans, players and coaches will be

Sandy Frazer tossed a pass in
tended for Marshfield end Frank
Yeiter, but field judge Pete Tay
lor of Eugene ruled that McDon
ald interfered with the catch on
the -five. This penalized Salem
and gave Marshfield a first down
on the one-yard line. The stub- '
born Saxons gave ground a foot
at a i tune, with Denny Baker
plunging for the touchdown on
third down.
Fumble Ends Threat
There were five minutes left
and the Saxons got back to the
Marshfiled ' 35-yard line before
a fumble ended their final threat
With 39 seconds remaining, the
stadium announcer reminded the
crowd that a tie would result in
co-championship. .- The half-
groan, half-cheer that went up
seemed to say that nobody likes
to settle for a tiewhen a cham-y
pionship is at stake.
But there was no grousing in
the dressing rooms as the players
showered after the muddy battle.
"They're a great team", said
Salem's Neil ScheideL "but I
think Corvallis had more spirit''
(South Salem tied Corvallis in its
only other non-win of the sea
son). .. . .
Praise From Coaches
Pete Susick, Marshfield coach,
walked into the Saxon- dressing
room and said: "You've got a '
great team, fellows".
"What did you think of that
pass interference?" somebody
asked.
"The ret called it and he was a
lot closer than I was" said Susick.
Saxon coach Lee Gustafsoa had
high praise for- Marshfield and
said the tie indicated how evenly
the teams were matched. But he
thought the pass play had been
celled wrong.
So did Bill .McDonald, who was
called for- interfering.
And Frank Yeiter, the end who
caught the pass, said: 'I didn't
think he interfered with me, but
he may have nudged me. I don't
know whether I'd have caught the
pass anyway or not." -Tackle
Leads Prayer '
But Sandy Frazer, who threw the
pass, thought the official had caJed
it right Referee Al Lightner noted
that it probably would not have
been called in a college game due
to different interpretation of the
rules. .
As soon as the Saxons returned
to their dressing room, they bo-ved
their heads in a prayer, led by
tackle Bobby Griffin, who began,
"Lord, we thank you for gettinz
us through this ball game without
any injuries and for giving us a
tie with a team like that"
Then the whole squad sang "On- -ward
Christian Soldiers' as they
peeled off mud-stained jerseys and
beaded for the showers.
