Rocky Marcisno played an ex
tremely dirty trick on Northwest
tight fans in Yankee Stadium last
Monday night by knocking out Kid
Matthews better known as Jack
Hurley's athlete.
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.

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,.
In 1948, with the nation more
normal than it had been in 20
years, there was no wide pressure

though even here there could

however, a marked difference in

Br JAMES A. 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.

kill some of our men. Today more
than 900 enemy shells will hit our
positions.
The temperature rises to 114 de

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.

the millionth draftee is now in

Month bv month tnis taraway

more lives, affected more and more
American families.
It has cost more than 113,000

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.

Warehouse
LONGVIEW W) Sweeping un
checked through the Paclllc Min
eral Products Corp. warehouse, a
fire leveled the 75100 foot struc
ture Just beiore midnight Friday
with damage estimated unofficially
In excess of sOO.000.
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.
