Also, we had one of the strongest teams that ever entered an Olympic meet since Pmdar sang of Grecian glory a few thousand years ago. This was a star United States team that couldnt be approached. But despite better food and better training, it was none too keen about any races beyond half a mile or 800 meters. The U. S. had the call in speed.

I wasn't Interested in time," Lovelock said later. "I merely wanted to win comfortably. Even then he had only broken the Olympic record by 4 seconds. I feel sure Lovelock could have run the 1,500 meters in 3 minutes and 45 seconds or the mile in 4.01. In any Olympic game, or any set of games, the dullest sports are the tumps, the shot put, the hammer throw, the long, drawn-ou- t pole vault. For some reason we iave picked the dullest sports in which to excel. No one cares very much whether yon finish drst or last. The weight events are the dullest of them aU. I dont believe all Olympic events should be judged on the same basis. The marathon should be worth SO points, compared to 5 points for the 100 meters. The 10,000-mete- r race should be worth 20 points, with 10 points for the race. I still believe that stamina is more important than speed that hardihood is more important than flash courage. track-and-fie- BERLIN OLD PILOT . . . James W. Mon-te- e of Washington, D.

He revealed it to Tappan Gregory and Joseph Stccher, American Bar association officials, during their White nouse call. "You know, the President said, "I studied law two years. Then I helped make law for a number of years as a senator. Now, as Chief Executive, I am enforcing the law. "In fact, he added wistfully, "I feel qualified to be admitted to the bar. I think Id make a pretty good lawyer. Several of our QUESTION: chairs have loose legs and rungs. Please advise how to repair. ANSWER: Take the chairs apart and scrape oil all the dried glue from the ends of the rungs and other parts, as well as from the holes into which the rungs fit. For each end of a rung or other loose part, cut a piece of an old "silk stocking that will go over it and that can be forced into the hole. Use plenty of glue on the ends and drive the parts together tightly. The glue will soak through the "silk, which will form a tight packing. After drying, trim oil the edges of the "silk with a razor blade. In place of the "silk" you may he able to buy thin steel slips intended for tightening a chair. QUESTION: We flooring, of four-inch, have soft-woo- single d planks, very badly worn in spots. We intend only to paint the floors. Later, would it be practical to lay plywood and cover that with inlaid linoleum blocks or carpeting? We do not wish a hardwood floor, for the children are so hard on them. ANSWER: The linoleum laid over plywood should be very satisfactory. If the children are very young, I suggest that you lay a warm rug or carpeting on the floor, which would be warmer for the children to sit on. My own preference would be for a hardwood floor, however, as it will take a great deal of punishment if properly finished. the indictment of the 12 Communist party leaders has thrown a monkey wrench into Leftists plans to set up a national labor organization. The secret scheme was to pull certain Communist controlled unions out of the CTO as the nucleus for a new outfit. Among these unions are the electrical workers, the ollire and professional workers, the mine, mill and smelter workers and the tobacco and agricultural workers. This planned "walkout was in line with Communist tactics in other countries, where separate labor organizations are being set up. But apparently, the conspiracy Indictments raised hob with the scheme in the U. S. and they pulled In their horns. SUNBURN? Hrr COOLS... SOOTHES..

He continues to exude complete confidence that he will win. When a senate friend called at the White House, the President lost no time in asking him to make some campaign speeches for him. "Its going to be tough going," the senator said. "Its always tough going in a fight, Mr. Truman retorted cheerfully. "But I want to tell you one thing. I can still beat Dewey. I can take him, and Im going to take him. Hes got some surprises in store for him. Comment by Rep.

What about Gunder Haegg, the Swede, yards better than Lovelock? What about other Swedes, many yards beyond the best weve ever had? "Lets get back to the field events, Cromwell said. The main weakness in U. S. entries is the matter of stamina. Over here we want results and applause in a hurry. We cant wait. Johnny Hayes won the marathon in England exactly 40 years ago, in 1908. Hayes beat Dorando, the Italian, who was carried across the line. But Dorando came over here and whipped Hayes. Lets be honest. We are not a marathon people. We are not even mile people. We never iave had anyone to compare with Paavo Nurmi, Lovelock, Haegg and others who could run rings around the best we ever had at a mile. Cunningham, Bonthron and others, plus Gil Dodds, made gallant gestures in the right direction. But they were not 4.01 or 4.02 milers on an outdoor track. et 4 Finn?"

After the mile we have little interest. We have few athletes willing to train that long and that hard. "We cant get athletes who really will train for the 5,000 and 10,000-metraces.
