Hi School Student
Sets World Record
VISALIA, Calif. </P)—A 16-year
old high school junior posted his
claim today to a new world’s in
terscholastic discus record.
Bob Mathias, 200-pound, six
foot one and one-half inch Tulare
student, spun the four pound, six
ounce platter 150 feet, eight and»
three-eighths inches Saturday
night as the high point of the San
Joaquin Valley CIF finals.
Mathias’ heave—with a discus
differing from the intercollegiate
variety only in its rubber edging,
rather than metal—surpassed the
10-year-old standard of Edsel
Wibbels, Wolbach, Neb., of 145
feet, nine inches.
Tugs Almost Went
With Oklahoma
SEATTLE, (^)-An old tug
boatmen’s trick and a piepe of
luck saved two Seattle tugs and
their crew when the weary old
battlewagon Oklahoma sank sud
i denly in mid-Pacific 11 days ago.
The skippers of the Hercules
and Monarch, which were towing
the battleship from Honolulu to
the Mainland, told on their arrival
! here of the Oklahoma’s last mo
, ments, and of their tugs being
i “snatched” backwards at speeds
I of 15 and 30 knots in a smother
j of spray.
Seconds later, the electric tow
! ing brake gave, and the cable
■ slipped off. But it had been close.

Worshipers Throw
Fggs At Pastor
. DETROIT, (/P)—An egg-throw
ing demonstration by parishioners
of St. Michaels (Carpatho-Rus
sian) church, with their pastor as
target, wound up in court today.
The barrage of eggs met three
uniformed policemen and the Rev.
Fr. Constantine Klumatyki us the
quartet was mounting the step.,
of the church yesterday.
The officers arrested six men
and 10 women on charges of dis
turbing the peace. They entered
pleas of innocent before record
er’s Judge John J. Mahen, who re
leased them under personal bonds
of $500 each.
Police said the incident devel
oped from demands of a faction in
the congregation which sought to
have the pastor dismissed. The
Rev. Klumatycki had obtained a
court order to prevent the dissi
dents from interfering with serv
ices, and the officers had accom
nanied him to church to carry out
(he order.
