To New Olympics Mark;
US Still Trails Russia
Helsinki (U.R) Jean Boiteux
of France smashed America's
men's swimming monopoly
Wednesday when he won the
Olympic 400-meter freestyle
championship.
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 Yanks won all eight of
the men's swimming titles in the
1948 games at London.
Ruisians Still Lead
Domination of swimming is
the last U.S. hope to catch Rus
sia's huge team lead. 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. Oyakawa, a Hawaii
an, was one-tenth off the record
in 1:06.0.
The U.S. water polo team
gained the eight-team final round
with a 4-to-l conquest of Bel
gium, and the U.S. sabre fencing
team gained the final round with
a 10-to-6 win over Poland and a
9-to-5 victory over Britain.
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.

U. S. Savings Bonds are often

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
