The Soviets also won the 20-kilometer walk a Ing race, the women's javelin throw and the team champion ship In the modern pentathlon. Hurdler Lee Calhoun of Gary, Ind., and shotputter Parry O'Brien of Santa Monica, Calif., provided the United States with two more gold medals, swelling the American total to 18.

He thus bettered the old Olympic mark of 14:06 set by Czechoslovakia's Emil Zato pek, who was a triple winner in the 1952 games. Kuts, a tireless Tunning ma hine, relinquished the lead only 3momentarily early in the race. He won by 80 yards over Gor don Pirie of England. Derek Ib botson of England was third.

He ran the evemi in an Olympic record 13.5 seconds, barely beating Jack Dayjs of Glendale, Calif., in a photo finish. Davis, also a second place finisher in this event in 1952, was clocked in the same time and both will receive credit for a nw Olympic mark. Joel Shankle of Durham, N. C, was ird.
