The Washington Merry-Go-Round Everybody today has a chip in the political pot. And everybody, through news dispatches, is watching the play of political hands. But the action is so fast and so widespread that more is needed than a running report. You want explanation of the strategy, disclosure of the forces, understand ing of the personalities involved. And you'll find just that in The Washington Merry-Go- Round, by Drew Pear sen and Robert S. Allen, in these columns. Pete Belcastro, Bad Boy of Matdom, To Top Monday Melee Pete Belcastro. Weed's mad Ital ian. comes back to Medford ar mory after a long absence from Portland and will face Ernie Pll- uso. the Portland Italian-Ameri- can. in the top main event of Promoter Mack Lillards weekly mat program Monday evening, March 4. Belcastro, who was sus pended some two months ago for illegal tactics in Medford, has been gouging eyes and using his other uncouth methods to considerable advantage in northern rings but now comes back to Medford to battle one who has yet to lose a match in his current stay. King Kong Clayton, colorful Alabama Negro, returns after a week's sojourn in other parts to meet Gold Hill's pride and joy, Sgt Bob Kennaston. Kennaston has built up a cold-blooded repu tation in his many weeks on Med ford grapple cards and this time he will meet a muaicle-mangler who knows a lot of rough stuff and will give the terrible Marine a go for his money. A pair of bad actors will hold forth in the opener when Lillard presents Tony Morelli and Dan Schultz, the Texas leg expert Schultz, the bearded villain, has yet to win a Medford bout but always gives the fans and his op ponents a good scrap.
