Wolfe, 18, of Bums tnl win shelled out $28.45 in a' rash attempt to see how much Wolfe could eat, today claimed for him the title of Armed Forces' Chow Champion. Army Pfc. Chester J. Salvatori of Southbridge, Mass., who army doctors described as an exniDi 4iAnit urhnn hp downed an inor dinate amount of food, is Just a piker, the marines saia. Wolfe, who is "really hun gry," at one sitting devoured: 1 Twelve fish dinners each with rHr r,f French fries, com bination salad and jello; four quarts of milk, six pints of ice cream, three malts, five cherry pies, six sandwiches, five toma to salads and four glasses of orange lulce. The check: $28.45. Under the heading "Hungry Man," Time magazine in a re pent Issue described the gastron omic feats of Pfc. Salvatori as fnllows: "The mess , sergeants at Fort McPherson, to whom hearty ap petites are an old story, were openly impressed. The medium- sized (140-lb., B-It. 7-inj private kept bringing his tray back ad back. When he had finished breakfast he had finished 60 eggs and 76 hot cakes. At that rate, he was getting some 30,000 cal ories a day (a hearty male diet: 6,000). "By the time the press discov ered him last week, Pfc. Chester J. (The Stomach) Salvatori, a horn-tooter in an itinerant Army .band, had landed in the Fort Mc Pherson Post Hospital; he had been under observation there for a month. Hospital Commandant Colonel Burgh S. Burnett had an old-fashioned diagnosis: there was nothing abnormal about Sal vatorl's metabolism it was real ly only his ego that needed nour ishment. He is an exhibitionist who puts on his eating show for the benefit of fellow soldiers. The Army had him eat alone, re stricted his caloric intake to 7,000 a day. "But while the newspaper ex citement was on, the hospital absent-mindedly gave Salvatori a pass. He made a beeline for an Atlanta cafeteria, where custo mers and the press watched him cat seven prders of fried chicken, ten orders of French fries, nine glasses of orange Juice, two quarts of milk, ten combination salads, five egg salads, two or ders of olives, two glasses of iced coffee, two slices of watermelon, five orders of rolls and five slices of apple pie a la mode. Cost: $9.03. He was eating light, he said, because he had already had six candy bars and a quart of ice cream.

S97B F BY KLINEFELTER Bert Klinefelter, Greyhound bus driver, of Redding, declared yesterday that published stories of the accident on the highway near Ashland the morning of July 21 were incomplete in that it was not explained how the three vehicles involved came to be abreast on the road while all were going in the same direction. According to Klinefelter, his southbound bus came up behind a light truck, being driven by Gladys McCulley, of Medford. The McCulley machine was not far behind an Oregon-Nevada-California freight truck. Kline felter said he signaled with his horn and started to pass the light truck. Just as his machine got abreast of the rear end of the light truck, the driver pulled over to the left, apparently with the intention of passing the heavy truck. This -maneuver, Klinefelter said, threw the light truck partly in his path and be fore he could brake' down, the bus shoved the light truck ahead and alongside the freight truck. In the ensuing mixup, Klinefel ter stated, the machines were nearly abreast for a moment. No one was injured in the brief tangle. Klinefelter said he had not at tamnipH in nass the two ma chines while they were abreast, as some might have construed the original published report of the accident which was obtained from the Ashland police. Such a maneuver, he pointed out, unnlH hp fnnlhardv for any driver, and, as their safety rec ord shows, bus drivers have the best record of all when number of miles traveled is considered.
