Swaps Wins ierby;
Favored NasDiM 2nd
Louisville;-Ky. (U.R)
Swaps, California's three - year
eld king of the race tracks, shot
out of the starting gate like a
comet today and held on to win
the richest Kentucky Derby In
history as he beat off favored
Nashua in a furious stretch drive.
The chestnut colt, owned by
Western cattle baton Rex Ells
worth, had Belair Stud's Nashua
right at his throat as the pair
ripped around the final bend
into the home stretch leading to
turfdom's $152,500 pot of gold
and glory. Then jockey Willie'
Shoemaker asked Swaps for his
best and got it. - .
A flashing streak of lightning,
the second California - bred ever
to win the rose run, literally ran
away from his rival in a furious
drive to win by a length and a
half.
Nashua continually felt the
sting of Eddie Arc&ro's whip in
that drive, but he never could
generate the power he needed
yesterday to run down mighty
Swaps.
Third behind Swaps and Nash
ua was Mrs. John W. Galbreath's
Summer Tan.
Swaps clicked off the mile and
a quarter in 2:01 45, only two
fifths of a second off the track
record set by the great Whirls
way in 1941.
Following Summer Tan were
Cain Hoy Stable's Racing Fool,
Jean's Joe, Flying Fury, Honeys
Alibi, Blue Lem, Nabesna and
Trim Destiny.

Medford aims for Southern
Oregon Conference and A-l dis
trict baseball honori suffered a
rude jolt yesterday afternoon
when Klamath Falls handed the

The losses taken at Klamath
Falls were the second and third
in the conference and gave Med
ford a 5-3 record for league play.
Searchers Seeking
Shipwreck Victims
Kodiak, Alaska (U.R) Search
ships combed the waters near
the tip of the Aleutian Island
chain again Saturday for some
sign of 31 men still missing in
two separate shipwrecks.
Bodies of 14 Japanese victims
were found washed up on the
bleak shores of Agattu Island,
the Alaskan Sea Frontier an
nounced Friday.
The bodies apparently came
from the Hatsushio Maru which
has been missing since last Sun
day when she radioed she was
running . aground. She had 24
men aboard.
Another vessel, the Koko
Maru, with 21 aboard, discon
tinued radio contact with
Tokyo a week ago Saturday
when she said she was in trou
ble in Aleutian waters. The ship
' is presumed to have been 'lost
with all aboard."
The Maritime Safety Board in
Tokyo dispatched seven ships to
search for the missing vessels.
The bodies were found by these
ships, the Alaskan Sea Frontier
said.

yard.

mile and a half downstream
about 15 minutes later.
Argon, a gas obtained from
air, is used in electric light
bulbs.
Grants Pass holds the lead with
a 6-1 standing after beating Ash
land 5 to 2 on Friday. Klamath's
record is now 4-3.
In the opener yesterday Med
ford was the victim of three-hit
hurling by the Klamath ace,
Dave D'Olivo. He struck out
nine batters and walked two. In
the meantime, the Pelicans got
to Medford Chucker Ed McCul
lough for 11 hits. He whiffed
four and walked but two.
Medford threatened mainly in
the first and fifth innings when
it got men as far as third base.
Frank Rector and Lorin Jacobs
hit doubles for Medford and Jim
Owsley got the other hit.
Klamath tallied in each of the
first five innings. Ron Conner
hit three for four for the Pels
and Jerry Burke and Bruce Ham
blin each rapped two for three.
Hits were not quite so plenti
ful in the second game but more
runs crossed the plate. Frank
Rector in the third inning and
Dave Leeling, Klamath, in the
fifth each homered with bases
empty.
Medford got four runs in the
second inning without a hit.
There were three errors, a walk
and two fielder's options. Klam
ath also had a four-run stanza,
the fourth. , Conner and Craig
McCarty each doubled and
Burke singled. There were a
couple of miscues on Medford's
part.
The Tornado held a 6 to 1 lead
after its batting turn in the third
inning, but after their third in
ning spree, the Pels added braces
of runs in both the fourth and
fifth innings to take command.

BPA Makes Lines
Available to Carry
Non-Federal Power
Lewiston, Idaho (U.R) Fed
eral transmission lines will be
made available by Bonneville
Power Administration "to carry
non-federal power to key load
centers on a reimbursable basis.
Dr. William A. Pearl, Bonne
ville administrator, told the
North Idaho chamber of com
merce Friday night that author
ization by Interior Secretary
Douglas McKay for large scale
"wheeling arrangements" would
make possible the integration of
new generation with the North
west Power pool.
Use of transmission lines was
a major problem faced by groups
proposing "partnership" projects,
he said. The policy would make
it feasible for such groups to
build facilities hundreds of miles
from load centers.
Dr. Pearl also said the recent
ly approved intertie between the
BPA and Idaho Power Company
would help get "the maximum
prime power at the minimum
cost" by integrating new genera
tion with the existing region
wide pool.
He said BPA would be able to
get power from Idaho Power
during the winter, when Colum
bia River flows were low, and
in turn, Idaho Power would re
ceive BPA generation during the
summer when the Snake river
was down.

Rodney Dee Brody Reported
Near Death; Still in Coma
Chicago (U.R) Rodney Dee
Brodie, a smiling three-year-old
who was separated from his
Siamese twin brother in a history-making
operation, was near
death Saturday with an uncon
trollable hemorrhage in his
brain.
The Illinois farm youngster
went Into a coma at 7 a.m. Fri
day . morning. He has not re
covered consciousness and doc
tors at thef University of Illinois
Education and Research Hospital
said his condition was . "very
grave."
The coma started 24 hours
after doctors began a one-and-a-half
hour exploratory operation
to see if the bleeding could be
stopped.
"It could not," the terse hos
pital announcement said.
If Rodney Dee dies, it will
write a tragic ending to one of
the boldest gambles in medical
history.
Joined At Head
He and his brother, Roger Lee,
were born in Rock Island, 111.,
on Sept. 18, 1951, to Mr. and
Mrs. Royt Brodie. The babies
were joined at the top of their
heads, their legs pointing in on
posite directions.
. The boys were brought to the
same hospital where little Rod
ney Dee fought again for his life
Saturday. .
Fifteen months after their
birth, on Dec. 17, 1952, a team
of doctors and nurses began the
historic operation to free them
from each other and give them
separate .lives. , "
Roger Lee was doomed al
most from the start. During the
course of the operation, the sur
geons made a tragic discovery.
The children shared a common
vein the sagittal sinus that
drains blood back from the brain
to the heart. The membrane cov
ering the separate brains was
also fused. .'
Brother Died
Rodney Dee shared the largest
portion of the vital vein so it
was given -to him. His brother
died 34 days later.
Early last week Rodney Dee's
parents' saw he was becoming
lethargic and slow. He was hav
ing difficulty in moving about
and didn't want to play.
. Royt Brodie brought his son
to the hospital Tuesday.

What's all this talk
about "Price
Class
It gets to be a little confusing this talk about what
"price class" a car is in. This new Dodge is making a
' clean sweep in every price field! - ' ' .
Owners who are used to paying .a thousand dollars more
'for a car find that money can't buy moce luxury, more
exciting features and beauty than in the dashing Custom
Royal Lancer shown above. . It's up to 9 inches' longer
than competitive models costing more!
And owners of so-called "low-priced cars" are finding
that a new Dodge, with all its dashing length and flashing
- style, can be theirs for only a few dollars a month more
than any of the small cars up to 19 inches shorter and
far less exciting! .
Oick Your Car Chck Accidenti! "
In fact, the Dodge Coronet 4-door shown below actually
costs less than some models in. the lowest price class.
So let yourself go. Travel first class in the car that's
knocking "price class" into a cocked hat. v :
