Helsinki (U.R) It can be
revealed exclusively Monday
that Emil Zatopek is a sissy.
After running only 26 miles,
385 yards and a few exhibition
inches to win the Olympic mara
thon and score an unprecedented
sweep of three distance events,
the classic Czech folded up and
took an automobile back to his
iron curtain training camp Sun
day night.

is based at suburb Otaniemi.
That's roughly eight miles and
three five-iron shots from the
Olympic stadium. For a man of
his stepping stature, that's like
calling a taxi to visit next door,
barring, of course, Texas neigh
bors. But the theory in Russian
newspapers of this capitulation
to capitalistic motivation cer
tainly will be that mechanical
Emil earned a ride. We capital
ists, who worry only on the
first of the month, can agree
this once.
For if ever an athlete stirred
the heart of Olympic fans, it
was Maj. Zatopek, who certain
ly should have earned a pro
motion to three-star something-or-other
in the Czech military.
All he did was run in three
Olympic distance events and set
three Olympic records.
It was "waltz me around
again, Sally" as the thin-faced
little man with the thinning
blond pate scampered to a 29:
32.8 clocking for 10,000 meters,
cutting a mere 26 seconds off
the Olympic record.
It was more of the same, thank
you, as he grimaced his the
atrical way to the 5,000-meter
championship in 14:06.6 a
mere 1 1 seconds under the Olym
pic mark.
And the Barrymore of the
cinderpaths put on the final
touches Sunday as he galloped
home easily in the classic mara
thon with a record time of two
hours, 23 minutes, 3.2 seconds
slicing some six minutes, 16
seconds off the Olympic stand

Sewell Resigns
At Cincinnati
Cincinnati (U.R) Luke
Sewell, manager of the Cin

effective with the playing of
Wednesday night's game at
Philadelphia.
The announcement was
made here after a telephone
call by Gabe Paul, general
manager of the seventh-place
National league club, from
New York.
No successor has been named
yet to replace Ihe dapper Sew

who had failed to pull the

he had when he led the St.

Davis Cup Team
To Play Cubans
In Second Round
Cincinnati (U.R) The U.S.
Davis Cup team, having com
pleted a 5-0 sweep over Japan,
turned its attention Monday to
Cuba, whom it meets in the sec
ond round of the North Ameri
can zone competition at Havana
next week.
Singles victories by Vic Seixas
of Philadelphia and Art Larsen
of San Leandro, Calif., gave the
U. S. its sweep over Japan Sun
day. After the final match, the Da
vis Cup committee announced
that the American team for the
Cuban series will be composed
of Gardnar Mulloy of Coral
Gables, Fla., Hugh Stewart of
San Marino, Calif., and Army
Sgt. Bernard Bartzen of Texas.
Seixas, America's top - rank
ing player, performed brilliant
ly Sunday in routing Fumiteru
Nakano, 6-2, 6-1, 6-2, in the op
ening match, while Larsen had
a little more difficulty in dis

ing like flies. Ambulances were
shrieking through the streets
with the fallen warriors of this
weary gambol. Emil the magni
f icient dashed home more than
two minutes in front, slashed
his eye-teeth into an apple, and
between munches began show
ing a couple of sprinters how
they should take those first few
digging strides.
Then he and Madame Zato
pek raced for a low, dark-green
sports car and horrors r-o-d-e
back to their training camp.
That gave the family four
Olympic gold medallions. For
Mrs. Zatopek won the women's
javelin toss with a new Olympic
recorji, too.
When they get home, it's re
ported that a grateful nation will
give them a new home. It better
be a big one. Emil will need a
running track in the dining room
and his better half must have
a javelin emporium in the parlor.
It's rumored here on the door
step of the Soviet Union that
spring is a Russian invention.
But if Zatopek the Czech didn't
invent running, he sure has im
proved on it.

Trunk Off Australia Coast
May Hold Secret of Murder
Sydney, Australia (U.R)
Police believe that somewhere
off the east Australian coast near
Sydney, a battered tin trunk
cradles on the ocean floor a grim
secret of murder.
Unlike many other chests
which are said to lie in the
ocean graveyard off Australia's
coast,, this trunk holds no pir
ate treasurer.
In the trunk is what author
ities belive today to be the an
swer to a weird slaying the
"shark arm" murder, which has
baffled investigators since 1935.
The aspects of the case have
been recounted in several Eng
lish and American law text
books. Foreign magazines of ten
countries published sensational
accounts of the mystery.
It began like this:
In April, 1935, two fishermen
from Sydney caught a shark off
the coast.
Sent to Aquarium
They decided they would
make more money from the mon
ster by selling it to a local aquar
ium than by having it cut up
for market.
Housed in the aquarium pool,
the big shark refused to eat and
for nearly a week cruised laz
ily up and down.
Patrons were watching the
monster on April 25 when sud
denly it started to flay the wa
ter into foam. Threshing madly
with its tail, it disgorged sev
eral small sticks, a piece of tin,
portion of another shark and a
human arm.
On the arm was a blue tat
tooed picture of two boxers in
fighting pose. A short piece of
three-quarter inch rope was tied
securely around the wrist.
Doctors said the arm had been
cut off at the shoulder, probably
bitten off by the shark as the
body lay on the ocean bed. They
thought the body had been teth
ered to a heavy weight.
Victim Identified
The Sydney criminal Investi
gation bureau, several days after
the discovery, identified the vic
time as one James Smith, 40, a
billiard marker, of the Sydney
suburb of Gladesville.
Smith, the police found, had
disappeared on April 8, or 17
days before the equarium epi
sode. Smith had left home on that
date, telling his wife he was go
ing on a fishing trip with a com
panion, but never mentioned no
name. He was never seen again.
Police theorized that Smith
had committeed suicide by tying
a weight to his arm and jumping
into the sea. Next they found
that Smith had not been despon
dent and was better off finan
cially than ever.
Suspicion of foul play became
stronger when it was discovered
that Smith had gone on those
"fishing trips" at regular inter
vals but never seemed to catch
any fish.
Police learned than that a
gang of smugglers had been at
work off the coast. Crew mem
bers of overseas liners had
thrown packets overboard at
tached to marker buoys to be
picked up later. Some of the
packets contained heroin, ' coc
aine and marihuana.
Suspect Acquitted
The police made an arrest
but after protracted criminal
proceedings the murder charge
failed to stick and the accused
man was acquitted.
During the court proceedings

came another sensation.
Reginald Holmes, a well-to-do
Sydney boat builder, had been
called as a witness at the hear
ing. Police claimed Holmes
could give evidence of the act
ivities of the smuggling ring.
Holmes told police the key to
the mystery was in a battered
tin trunk thrown overboard
from a launch at the same time
as Smith's body.
On the night before the in
quest Holmes went for a drive
with an unidentified man.
Found Dead in Car
Early next morning, Holmes
was found slumped over the
wheel of his car in a lonely spot
under the Sydney. Harbor
Bridge.
He had been shot three times
at close range by somebody who
had been sitting next to him in
the front seat.
His murder remains today as
great a mystery as that of James
Smith. The facts on both cases
are filed away in a pigeon hole
marked "unsolved murders" at
police headquarters.

State civil defense authorities
last month conducted a mass
drill to see how fast they could
cope with a theoretical atomic
attack on Seattle, Spokane, Han
ford and Bremerton, the state's
prime targets.

Military commanders deny
there is any unusual reason for
the preparation. They prefer not
to discuss it, for security reasons.

the air bases have been put on
