Nylon Vests Proving To Be Lifesavcrs in Korean War Theater MEDFORDTRIBUrfl Marciano Starts 30-Day Exile Following Win Over Reynolds Providence, Heavyweight contender Rocky Marciano had cumbersome Ber nie Reynolds neatly out of the way and began a 30-day exile from boxing Tuesday the price he must pay for deceiving his fans in the state of Maine. Rhode Island reluctantly went along with the suspension imposed by the Maine State Boxing Commission which pol- R. I, (U.R) lilely set the date so the Brock ton, Mass., strong boy could fight a previously scheduled bout with the former New Eng land heavyweight titlist from Fairfield, Conn. Reynolds, weighing 185V4 to Marciano's 1861 4 went out quiet ly in two minutes and 21 seconds of the third round when Rocky stepped back from a clinch and drove an overhand right to his chin. The triumph, Marciano's 36th knockout in 40 professional bouts, did little to offset the mediocre ' performance Rocky put on in his last television ap pearance against once powerful Lee Savold of Paterson, N. J. Maine suspended Marciano for using his kid brother as an op ponent in a spring exhibition tour and calling him by other names. 'One of the monikers picked at random was "Pete Ful ler" who happens to be a widely known Boston amateur and son of former Gov. Alvan T. Ful ler of Massachusetts.

With the U.S. 25th Division, Korea iU.R) The Army's new nylon vests are proving them selves to be lifesavcrs in Korea, the chief of a body armor test team reports. Lt. Col. Andrew Aines said 40 men wearing the nylon vests have been hit by shell fragments and no one has suffered a shrap nel wound in the protected area. Two to three thousand men have worn the 12-laycr vest on patrols since the tests began February 7, Aines said. Men More Ready "The only man killed was hit by a .30 caliber bullet," he add ed. "Something the vest was not expected to stop. Some of the men have been wounded by shell and grenade fragments, to be sure, but none of the wounds was suffered in the vital areas of the body protected by the vest where most fatal wounds are inflicted." j "Wearing the vest makes the men more ready to go out and follow their assignments," he said. "They are more fluid In their activities, they move faster and officers in those units where we have operated credit the vests with instilling tremendous amounts of confidence in the men. It has resulted in much better morale." Vest Pierced Sgt. Maynard Prcitauer, Park er's Prairie, Minn., was caught in enemy fire on the central front. When he returned from the patrol, this Is what he said: "I was kind of surprised when I examined the vest to find a few layers of the vest had been pierced by a small fragment. I surely wouldn't have wanted to be without the vest at that time." Aines said the army is think inR of a headgear of the same nylon material to replace the present steel helmets. Although the vests have come through combat with excellent records, they have yet to be test ed in summer weather condi tions where the added weight a soldier would be forced to carry might impair his efficiency. "I don't think hot weather will have too much effect, how WEATHER By United Pren North California: Few showers extreme north portion Tuesday, slightly cooler. ever," said Aines. "Football play ers wchr heavy padding even when playing in 70 degree tem peratures and do not take off the equipment just because it is hot. "Sweat never killed anybody but a shell fragment can." Aines said the tests probably will continue for two more months and may be prolonged If further results are deemed nec essary. "Psychologically speaking," he said, "better protection for the soldier is the order of the day. Statistics have shown where most casualties occur. We are applying those statistics to prac tical tests with these vests. The results so far speak for themselves."

Juneau Man Wins $102,000 In Famed Alaska Ice Pool Nenana, Alaska (U.R) The Tanana river ice pack broke up at 5:04 p.m. (Alaska time) Mon day and Charles R. Montjoy, Juneau, was the sole winner of the $102,000 jackpot, largest in the 36-year history of the famed ice pool. Montjoy, a supervisor for the Alaska Native Service, was the only ticket-holder to guess the exact time the ice would begin to move on the river at this Cen tral Alaska community. Three hundred persons, the entire population of the village, cheered as the ice broke up with a mighty roar to herald the coming , of spring to the Terri tory. It was the unofficial signal for riverboats to begin moving supplies to winter-bound native villages. Montjoy'a winnings represent ed a "one-in-a-million" guess.
