He set a new Olympic record of 4:30.7, breaking the old mark he set in the trials Tuesday. The original record was 4:41 set by Bill Smith of the U.S. in '48.

The Rus sians started Wednesday with a 7414 point lead 5142 to 440. Boiteux met the challenge to day "of the American trio Wayne Moore and Jim McLane of Yale, and Ford Konno, Ohio State and beat them with a furious finish. The finish was so exciting that the victorious Frenchman's fa ther leaped into the pool fully clothed to kiss his son in tribute. The U.S. women's 400-meter Telay swimming team set a new Olympic record of 4:28.1 in this morning's qualifying trials. The quartet of Evelyn Kawamoto, Hawaii; Jacqueline Mavine, Mari lee Stepan and Joan Alderson of Chicago, clipped 1.1 seconds off the mark set by the U.S. in '48. U.S. women suffered a blow in diving when a protest was allowed against svelte Zoe Ann Jensen. She placed third at Tues day's halfway mark, but only after she was permitted three cracks at her third dive because she complained of a faulty board. France, Sweden, Russia and Japan were granted protests, giv ing her 3.20 points 'instead of 12.20 for her fourth dive. This dropped her from third to eighth. U.S. Champ Pat McCormick, Long Beach, Calif., led. All three Americans-Yoshino-hu Oyakawa and Jack Taylor of Ohio State, and Allen Stack, Yale gained Thursday's semi finals in the men's 100-meter backstroke.

The U.S. basketball team rallied from a surprising first half deficit to beat Brazil 57 to 53 to gain the semi-final round. The undefeated Yanks trailed 26 to 24 at the half. Konno also broke the record when he finished in 4:31.3. In boxing, flyweight Nate Brooks of Cleveland used counter-punching to score a unani mous second-round decision over Alfred Zima of Austria. Light weight Bob Bickle, Hoisington, Kan., dropped a decision to Aure liano Bolognesi of Italy. Featherweight Edson Browns used a series of stinging left hooks to score a unanimous de cision over Hie Gheorghe of Rumania.

Five of the hits were homers. Linde Goes Route Only one pitcher Portland's Lyman Linde went the route. And he lost.

The Angels won, 7-5. Seals Slug Stars San Francisco ripped into a quartet of Hollywood pitchers for 13 hits all singles and a 5-1 victory. Seal Bevens allow ed only four but filled the sacks on walks in the ninth and need ed help from reliefer Bill Brad ford.

The Pads, who rocketed 12 hits off three Solon pitchers, trailed, 4-1, when Stringer con nected. And Seattle, led by Al Lyons's homer and Rocco Krsnich's two-run single, beat Portland, 3-1. Portland Fight Fans Still for Matthews Portland (U.R) Portland fight fans stood firmly Wednes day behind vanquished heavy weight boxing title contender Harry "Kid" Matthews. Matthews, whose attempt at pugilistic greatness was tempor arily discouraged in the ring of Yankee stadium Monday night, may be through as a top-flight eastern attraction, according to Tex Salkeld, but he'll always be welcome in Portland. Salkeld, National Boxing Club matchmaker, promoted all the local bouts which helped Matthews skyrocket into fistic prominence.

Plans Shaped for Big New Shopping Center Shaping of preliminary plans for a proposed multi-million dol lar shopping center south of Medford began last night. Back ers of the project and two San Francisco architects met with several Medford civic and finan cial leaders. John Weisbrod, Eagle Point and Medford real estate man who is chief backer of the S3 million project, authorized Architects Elliott Brown and John King, San Francisco, to go ahead with an economic survey of the area and its possibilities as a shopping area. - Brown and King said such a survey is essential as "insur ance" that money spent on the project will not be wasted. Land Purchased The shopping center will be on Highway 99 between the Red Barn and the baseball field at the fairgrounds. Weisbrod an nounced the purchase of the land and his plans early in June. King and Brown gave figures to show the effect of such shop ping centers on other cities. Rather than harming the down town business, they have in creased it by drawing shoppers from a far greater distance. Weisbrod expects to attract shoppers from all over southern Oregon into the new shopping area. Medford was described as an area that will boom tremendous ly because of increasing popula tion, undeveloped resources and diversity of income. The city is the shopping center for 125,000 people, Weisbrod said. It ex tends into northern California and nearly to Roseburg. Plans Change Weisbrod's original plans call ed for a giant U-shaped one story building. The architects pointed out, however, that a compact building rectangular with an open court in the mid dle would be more conven ient to parking facilities. They also said that making the entire center one story would waste land. A children's playground near the shopping center is to be op erated by Mr. and Mrs. Norman Koln, 15 South Barneburg road. Playground equipment schedul ed to arrive next spring got here early and has already been set up. Koln said the playground is receiving considerable patron- Air Force General Visits in Nedford Maj. Gen. Arthur W. Vana- man, recently-named command ing general of the Sacramento Air Materiel area, flew to Med ford to inspect the Medford Air Force refueling detachment, part of his command, yesterday. He also conferred with city offi cials concerning Air Force activ ity at the Medford airport. General Vanaman was com mandant of the industrial col lege for the armed forces in Washington, D. C, before being assigned to the new job. His headquarters are at McLellan Air Force base, Sacramento. Accompanying the general were Cols. Ernest Ramme, direc tor of supply for the area; S. Norman Van Meter, director of procurement, and John W. Hope, director of maintenance and engineering. I age despite the lack of many buildings nearby. Sears, Roebuck Hinted Weisbrod said that one big na tional department store should be brought to the center and that the other facilities to pro vide a one-stop shopping service should be local. He intimated that Sears, Roebuck, and com pany had evidenced interest in the project. " Weisbrod also favored use of local capital in the project. He said he had talked with outside capitalists because at first he thought not enough local capital could be obtained. Now he thinks that enough local capital will be found to finance the pro ject almost entirely. Paris Designers Announce Styles For Fall Wearing Paris (U.R) Sixty-five of Paris' top fashion designers swept into the fall collections Wednesday with the 1952-53 sil houette emphasizing femininity and practicality. Jacques Fath led the field in unveiling the secrets of his workroom before socialites and fashion correspondents from all over the world packed into his green and white salon. Popularity Seen He set the pace with a warm simplicity bound to be popular with women of all ages and sizes. Skirts overall are expected to end up a bit longer than last sea son's 14 inches. And the bust? Wait and see. Fath, more feminine than last spring, achieves his new look by elongating skirts, widening shoulders and using new softer cloths. "Castor" Favored Colorwise he favors "castor," a cafe-au-lait brown, for day time. Varied shades of red are injected to liven the monotones. Fath's hats, small and head- enveloping, require high collar lines. A severe simplicity is broken only occasionally by a rakish swoop of feathers. Name Similarity Causes Confusion Mrs. Darrell Davis, 48 North Peach street, wife of a science teacher at the Medford junior high school, has received a num ber of telephone calls asking if her husband is the Darrell Davis, 40, who is being extradit ed from Reno, Nev., on charges of obtaining money under false pretenses. He was mentioned in a Mail Tribune story Tuesday. M r s. Davis understandably wants it known that there are two Davises, and that her hus band is not the man charged with the crime. Davis (the high school teach er) is 35. with an established residence here, while Davis (the suspected criminal) is 40, and has no established home. He is classed as a transient, and his last known address was the Rogue River hotel in Rogue River. He (the transient Davis) is be ing held in Reno under $5,000 muutxa DisnuiK co. lie. ram. ill wiser a kind m rtoof u turn mhttuu. snub DISCOUNT i On All 1951 Patterns. Installed FREE.

CU.PJ An embargo on hog shipments to stockyards here was lifted Wednesday, but officials in four other Midwestern cities took drastic measures to curtail the spread of vesicular exanthema, a rare and serious hog disease. Jay Dillingham, president of the Kansas City Stockyards Co.; Micriael Flynn, president of the Kansas City Livestock Exchange; and Dr. Leo Henry, Kansas City representative of the Bureau of Animal Industry of the Depart ment of Agriculture issued a joint statement lifting the em bargo. The statement cleared the way bail for Jackson county authori ties, and Sheriff Howard Gault reports he is also wanted by California authorities on four counts of forgery. for shipments from all but 22 quarantined counties in Missouri, Kansas, Nebraska and Iowa.
