This year, for the first time
since the Communists grabbed
power, Red Chinese athletes
have performed creditably. If

IBL Owner
Says Brook
Ball Wears
By OSCAR FRALEY
Tokyo HP) Bill McDonald,
wealthy international sportsman
from Miami Beach, Fla., disclos
ed today that on his return to
the United States next week he
would take steps to obtain an
International League franchise
in Brooklyn.
"International League officials
contacted me just before I left
to attend the International Tro
phy and Canada Cup golf
matches in Tokyo this weekend,"
McDonald revealed. "I can say
that I am definitely interested."
Everything would depend, he
said, on whether he could make
a deal with Walter O'Malley of
the Los Angeles Dodgers, who
still holds a two-year lease on
Ebbets Field.
"If I get a franchise, which I
am quite certain that I can, and
if I can make a sensible deal
with O'Malley, there will be
baseball in Brooklyn next
spring," McDonald asserted. "But
I am not going into this thing
to use or be used as a club to
bid up somebody financially."
McDonald, who owns the
Tampa team in the Florida State
League, said that if his plans
went through he probably would
hire "one of the old Brooklyn
heroes" as manager. It gave rise
to speculation that he might
make an offer to Jackie Rob
inson, who at Brooklyn became
the first Negro to play in or
ganized baseball.

In athletics, weight-lifting,

dards this year.
Good Performers
International Olympic Com
mittee President Avery Brun
dage, after watching a group
of Red Chinese athletes perform
in the recent International
Track and Field championships
of Romania at Bucharest, said:
"They have made very good per
formances. I can see a very great
deal of progress in a short time."
Star of the group was 20-year-old
Peking University stu
dent, Miss Tsen Fu Yung, who
cleared 5 feet, 8V2 inches (1.74
meters) in the high jump only
three-quarters of an inch (0.02
meters less than the world rec
ord of America's Olympic win
ner Mildred McDaniel.
Chinese sports, according to
Communist sports magazines
reaching here, is patterned en
tirely on the Russian setup. The
build-up began in 1949 when an
"All-Chinese Council for Physi
cal Culture and Sport" was cre
ated by the Communist regime
and given almost unlimited
funds, vast powers and orders
to make sports popular in China.
Trained by Russians
During the first years, the
council's main activity was to
build up an army of coaches and
instructors. According to Com
munist reports, thousands were
sent to the Soviet Union to
learn from the Russians. Su
preme direction was then taken
over by the "Research Commit
tee of - Sports Scientists," all of
them Russian-trained, and some
of them possibly even Russians.
According to the Communist
sources, Red Chinese athletes
have set 19 national records in
track arid field alone this year.
Here are some of the records,
and, in brackets, the place it
would have earned the athlete
in last Olympics at Melbourne:
Men High jump 6 ft. 634
in. (2 meters) by Ma Hsing Lung
(6th) place; pole vault 14 ft. 2V

Chen 24.8 ; high jump; Miss
Tsen, 5 ft. 8 in. (2nd).
Huge Transformer
Reaches Brownlee
Brownlee, Ore. HP) Anoth
er of the four giant 230,000-volt
transformers for Idaho Power
company's Brownlee dam was on
hand for installation today after
a tortuous, four-hour journey
into the upper reaches of Hells
Canyon from the project's rail
head. Each of the four transformers
will step up the voltage of one
of Brownlee's 90,100 - kilowatt
generators to 230,000 volts for
transmission over a 100-mile
line now being built to Boise and
a recently completed 42-mile line
that will carry power to Baker,
Ore., and thence into the North
west Power Pool.
The new 106-ton transformer
began its journey at the project's
railhead at Robinette, Ore.,
where it was hoisted from its
specially built railroad flatcar.
Then, while the transformer was
held aloft, the flatcar was moved
away and two "low-boy" diesel
trucks, chained together, backed
into position to be loaded with
the heavy equipment.
Once the transformer was tied
down with stout cables, the
trucks headed into the canyon
with their massive burden. The
10-mile journey along the Snake
river took the trucks over a
sheer-walled, winding road.
The four transformers will be
installed on the generator deck
of Brownlee's powerhouse when
the structure is completed next
summer. Each will require 10,
950 gallons of cooling oil.

Discovery o
Jungle Roa
I
Lima, Peru
An Ameri
can explorer has reported the
discovery of an ancient jungle
road which may provide a "miss
ing link" in the history of South
America.
The archaeological find also
may shed light on the evolution
of writing, according to George
Michanowsky, president of the
Amazonia Foundation.
For four months, Michanow
sky and an Amazonia Founda
tion team explored an area
northeast of LaPaz, the Boliv
ian capital, by plane, mule and
foot.
Traces Lost Road
He said he traced a "lost"
road from low tropical jungle to
an altitude of about 7,000 feet
and beyond into the high Andes.
The road, partly cobbled or
carved from stone, averages six
feet in width. Stairsteps indicate
the road builders did not intend
the passage for wheels or beasts
of burden.
'The road connects the Aymara
culture, which had a word for
writing but until now, is not
thought to have had a written
language, to a place where we
found symbols carved on stone,"
said Machanowsky, who stopped
here en route to New York City.
Subjugated By Incai
The ancient Aymaras boasted
an advanced culture. One version
of history says they were subju
gated by the Inca empire in the
13th and 14th centuries. Span
iards arrived in the 16th century
but found no writing In the area
of the extended Inca empire.
"Nevertheless," said Machan
owsky, "the Aymaras had a
word, 'quelcata' meaning 'writ
ing. An ancient Aymara legend
told of a 'river of writing north

east of LaPaz."
With cooperation from the Bo
livian Air Force and army engi
neers, Michanowsky last year
found the lost 'river of writing."
Along the banks, flat 10-foot
square stones bear strange sym
bols. Michanowsky calls the sym
bols "transitional," marking the
obscure period in the history of
writing between the picture
drawing and the alphabet.

To Phil Coaching Staff
Philadelphia (IP) A person
ality clash with manager Mayo
Smith was hinted today as a pos
sible reason for the Philadelphia
Phillies' dropping of pitching
coach Whitlow Wyatt.
Bill Posedel, manager of the
Portland team of the Pacific
Coast League, was named to suc
ceed him.
The Phillies gave no reason for
not renewing Wyatt's three-year,
SI 5,000 yearly contract. Wyatt
came to the Phillies with Smith
in 1955 from the Southern Asso
ciation where both were mana
gers. Although Smith never crit
icized Wyatt publicly, it was un
derstood they had clashed be
hind the scenes over several is
sues. Phillies' General Manager Roy
Harney indicated the reason for
the switch was Posedel's ability
rather than Wyatt. Hamey said
he was impressed with Pose
del's coaching as far back as
1948 when Hamey was general
manager for Pittsburgh and
Posedel was a Pirate scout and
coach.
