Matthews had been going on and on disposing of all opponents, and Hurlev had been going on and on talking his Athlete into the top Interest In boxing, to the point where fight fans were enjoying the sport as In the days of yore. Now the bubble Is burst. The Northwest lias Just another con tender who blasted his way, almost to the top. On the other hand, fans every where now have a new lease on interest in boxing. Matthews is a fighter who made a mistake and got counted out. Marciano is a fighter who makes mistakes but Just keeps throwing punches until something gives. Could be he's the real fighting man we've been looking lor. Apparently the Finns and Rus sians have rigged the Olympics so that the burly Russian lasses have rung up lots and lots of points in lady-games for their side. Nothing can detract from the records of Bob Mathias, of Tulare and Stanford U, and the other real athletes in the real events, however. Their exploits show that the Olympics is still the Olympics. Other sports fundamentals carry WASHINGTON Wl This is the year when the middle of the road seems cozy. The politicians indi cated they thought so when they picked Cjen. Eisenhower and Gov. Stevenson. , Both are middle -of -the -readers. The general is a little to the right of the governor. Stevenson, ap parently, is a little to the right of . President Truman. Neither man is am apostle of change, socially or economically. Although both are in ternationalists, that's usual now, not radical. If there had been wide publio pressure to move left or far right, the convention politicians undoubt edly would have responded by pro ducing the - kind of candidate wanted. No matter how boss-ridden, a political party which wants to stay in business must be a kind of thermometer measuring the ; public mood, i , The people have shown that in -time of crisis, when great reme dies are needed for survival, they not. only will accept but seek changes, even severe ones. ' Although they elected Franklin D. Roosevelt three times more, it was in 1932 that the voters made it most clear they'd go for change when they thought it necessary,.

Each will have a host of free- swinging helpers who will feel no particular compulsion to ob serve the political niceties. The slugging may Be severe.

If you can scan their public utterances carefully, you ; find amazing similarity at many ; points, ' Despite these basic parallels, however, a marked difference in emphasis is inevitable in the com ing campaign. Stevenson perforce will have to defend the Democratic record and extol its program. Eisenhower will be free to assail those things. Right here Is the critical area party members feel 20 years is more man long enougn lor one party to hold power. Many are disturbed over one phase or an other of Democratic rule conduct , of the Korean war, corruption in . wasnington, tauure to nalt lnua 'tion, and so on. '. These people want to hear the Democrats criticised. But they wsnt more. They want to know - "ABC . - what positive, constructive ideas the Republicans have for doing the Job belter. -Mere denunciation Is not enough to attract legions of wavering voters. Denunciation unmatched by con structive, hopeful plans Is the spe cialty of the extremist.

In that fairly normal year the Democrats and President Truman, although he had offered his Fair Deal as a continuation of the New Deal which had been interrupted by the war, barely squeaked through. Congress, which Is the most po tent expression of the public mood between elections, showed a stea ily conservative distaste for change in Truman's last four years by - turning thumbs down on his three most drastic proposals: Civil rights legislation, compulsory hekltn insurance, and repeal of the lait-Maruey uv. i i munjom. This election year is much like As I stand in this strange out lets with some notable new excep- post I see through the glasses 18 tions: Higher taxes, corruption In government, and the distressing and unfinished Korean war. Other wise, incomes and employment are at a peak. Our foreign relations are serious but war still does not seem imminent. The arguments this year between the parties and the candidates will be over government expenses and corruption, the handling of foreign policy, and other issues which the politicians will have no trouble dredging up. But the voters, not in peril now, will not have to choose between a stand-patter and a man with a gleam In his eye and a key to the promised land. sharp cleavage on issues and men as some observers feel we should have.

MICHENER WITH THE U.S. MARINES, Ko rea (delayed by censor) ifi For the Marines it was Just another day. For me it was a strange In troduction to the fantastic war they are fighting north of Seoul. I wish all Americans could have experienced it. Then they would un derstand something of the Korean war. I started early with a helicopter trip to the front. I rode at 100 feet in a 'copter whose side had been ripped away so I could hang over the edge and look straight down at the strange. sweet beauty of Korea. Red hills, green pines, handsome rivers, ancient graveyards and up ahead the battle line. Our troops are dug Into bunkers and keen trenches, but even so. each day incoming enemy shells kill some of our men. Today more than 900 enemy shells will hit our positions. The temperature rises to 114 de grees. I've never known such heat. not even on the equator but prob ably that s . because down there I never worked so hard as I shall this day. For we climb to several dll- ferent hill positions and from the moment I start I shall not be dry. It is a stinking, steaming, danger ous war. Mld-momlne I visit one or tne most incredible positions ever oc cupied by American troops.- - It is an isolated hill lour miles within enemv lines, surrounded by Chinese Communist territory and looking down upon the fateful ar- mistice negotiation tents at Pan- Communist soldiers filtering down a hill they mistakenly think to be In the neutral zone. They are going to set up a gun with which to harass our hill. A beardless lieutenant at mv side calls down an artillery mission, which lands smack on the enemy and inflicts heavy casualties. "The young lieutenant shows no sign of triumph. Less than a week ago 11 of his buddies were killed by the Communists near that very spot. i The unbelievable aspect of this artillery shelling is that while I followed the flight of our shells, the shadow of our hill fell almost across the tents of Panmunjom. I turned less than 40 degrees away from the dead enemv. and I could watch our negotiators enter the meeting at Panmunjom. Tonight, when the negotiations have ended. Communists will try to oenetrate this lonely outpost and if they succeed they will destroy our men. The war never ceases. Tn the afternoon I climb to an other advanced position to study dial NEW YORK (fl The Korean war is well into Us third year and the millionth draftee is now in service. , Month bv month tnis taraway conflict, has touched more and more lives, affected more and more American families. It has cost more than 113,000 casualties. It has been raised as a major political Issue. Yet it remains "The Forgotten War." the wRr that almost no one knows except the men who fight "'it is as If Korea were upon another planet, or as if there were a conspiracy of silence against it "If we don't mention the war, It will Just go away." Unfortunately, it is a war that won't go away, and America may still have men stationed on a battle front In Korea after it Inducts Its second millionth draftee. The odd thing about the Korean combat picture Is that the morale of the American fighting man has picked up, while interest at home has steadily waned. "Why are we in Korea at all?" ask the average man in the street that question, and he might be hard put for an answer. But the American soldier In Korea now has a pretty good idea why he is there. Take Pic. George Whltenour, for example. He is a member of the St. Barnabas Lutheran Church in Queens. So Is John R. Crooks, a veteran newspaper librarian. Some time ago Crooks, who In 03, decided to put out a one-man news paper for the members of the church who are In the armed serv ice. His gossipy news sheet now cir culates to 70 young soldiers, sailors, and airmen, scattered around the world. It knits them to their old home neighborhood. Recently. Pfc. Whltenour - wrote a letter of gratitude from Korea, and this is what ne said: "We have church services over here in our mess tent, and they sure give a lift to the boys' morale. But I miss St. Barnabas; it is a beautiful church. ."As yat I am not right up at the -- the effectiveness of close Marine air support against a hill which our ground troops cannot reach, Four Marine pilots roar down through intense Ilak and blast a hill with tons of fire. They accom plish wonders but as the last plane pulls away it starts to spray oil. I know it will have to crash. Si lently, prayerfully, we wait for the explosion. But none conies.

Is this year's version of the 1864 Confed erate cavalry. He says. "You can watch us fire this mission if you want to.! But be ready to scram like a bat out of hell. Don't turn your Jeep off." A ripple of rockets la something never to forget. The roar and the flame and the swoosh and the ex cited movement of the crew are ghostly, but the tell-tale flash and the great pillar of dust thrown up by the back-blast betray your posi tion Immediately. col. Henderson riDPed our Jeep right out of there at frightening speed. Thirty seconds after - we hauled tail a salvo of Communist shells landed right where wo bad been. ..

Ironical ly both the shells and the gun which fired them were handed to uie Veronese oj America m uni, Believe me. the Americans do not always win. At dusk I flew back In another open helicopter over land which seems more beautiful than It did at dawn. I am filthy. I've lost 11 pounds in sweat. The temperature still is un around 100 And every where along the front patrols are getting ready to go out. There wli be night battles and there will be dead. I loin Gen. John Selden's brief ing at Marine headquarters and there I hear the remorseless add ing machine of war: "First Ma rines, three dead , . . enemy as sault . . . the F4U Dllot never got out of his plane when It crashed . send a case oi oeer to tne Korean Marines who captured the prisoners . . . tonight four more probing attacks by How Company it's war.

I'm not really hunting the Reds too much. I'm glad that I don't have to use a weapon against any one. And I'm sorry that the other boys have to. "But if the war isn't fought here it might have to be fought back in the States. "The Korean- people are not really ai bad as some people would lead you to believe. Some of these people were Just content to live their own lives, tending to their gardens, building homes and lead ing an ordinary life. "But some of the big wise guys had to think they could rule them and buck their strength against the good people of the world. "When you see all the nations that are represented here you feel that we can't lose. . , Scattered throughout this area are Turks, Ethiopians, Filipinos, Puerto Ricans. Canadians, Scotch, English.

The warehouse, slacked to the rafters with Insulation bat and ga'unulated, wua uewiy-con.su ucied and the plant, which had been In operation only six weeks, employ ed 20 men. There were no reports of injuries. Firemen stood almost helplessly by, able to fight the blaze only with a small booster pump carried on the fire engine because there were no hydrants near the plant. The fire was the second to hit the plant in four years and the second major industrial blaze here this year. In May, 1948. the Pa cific Mineral Products plant, then known as Carney-Pacific Rock Wool Co.. was hit by a blast and fire that virtually ripped the plant apart. One workman was killed. Earlier this year. In January, a multl-mllllon dollar fire roared through the Pacific Paperboard Co.. plant here. Reconstruction plans for that firm have not yet been disclosed. .The Pacific Mineral Products warehouse itself was valued at 25,000 but the damage estimate was boosted by valuable machin ery and the finished products U contained. Company olllclals esti mated the plant would have turned out 72 tons of Insulation dally when operating at top capacity. The company was owned Jointly by Van Waters and Rogers, Inc., of Seattle, and Tennessee Products Corp., of Nashville, Tenn., which started the operation alter rcDuuu lng from the 1948 fire. , James Hornsby, representing Tennessee Products here, said he believed the loss was covered by Insurance. Couple Set Fire Record ALTURAS Mr. and Mrs. Henry Bunsteln marked up a probable record in recording locations of lightning strikes during one oi tne recent thunderstorms, ' Modoc Na tional Forest headquarters has an nounced. The couple, stationed atop Tim ber Mountain, south of Tulclake in the forest's Doublehead district, located 38 separate lightning strikes In an hour-and-one-liall period. Each time they witnessed a strike, the couple would locate it with the fire-finding equipment, re cording Its location for checking later. After the storm has passed, foresters report, the fire lookout can set his fire finder on the exact same spot, and In doing so can note the slightest wisp of smoke. Otherwise, lightning strikes dur ing wet thunderstorms have been known to sleep for weeks at a time before breaking out before wind and hot weather. The earlv discovery of ' a blaze makes It easier for a smoke-chaser to catch the fire while it Is small. The forest headquarters here commended Mr", and Mrs. Bunsteln on their team work, noting that no single person could have located and recorded lightning strikes at a rate of more than one a minute.
