Matthew'S Seeks Fiuh1
With Marciano After
Battering Rex Layne
By the Associated Press

PORTLAND, Oreg., May 90
Harry (Kid) Matthews cleared his
first major heavyweight hurdle
here last night. Matthews, 1872
Seattle, looked impressive in
punching out a 10-round decision
over Rex Layne, 1882, Lewiston
Utah.
Layne was the first heavyweight
of reputation that Matthews had
met.
His manager, Jack Hurley, said
after the fight he hoped to sign
Matthews for a match sometime
in July with Rocky Marciano, the
Brockton, Mass. better who
knocked out Joe Louis.
Matthews was just too classy

In the fourth round, Matthews

graceful player. But almost as many modern
fans stuck with Joe DiMaggio. This brought
up the question of baseball grace or rhythm,
which doesn't mean everything. Honus
Wagner looked like a huge land crab scooping
up everything in sight. He had a peculiar,
grace of his own, but it was hardly grace as
we know it. Yet he was the games greatest

Fang and Claw
By H. O'HARE

THIS WAS MY first experience at
herding sheep. Rock was sheep dog
with years Of experience and my
helper.
AS per instructions from the boss
I kept a circle of lighted lanterns
around the band of sheep at night
to keep coyotes away. Therefore
Rock paid no attention to their
yapping while sleeping under the
wagon.
Then one night Rock wakened me
several times by making vicious
growls as he charged short ways
toward something that disturbed
him.
I searched the vicinity each time
with powerful flashlight.
Not locating any prowlers / con
cluded that he was just spooking at
imaginary ones. So ordered him to
get back under the wagon.
He obeyed reluctantly.
Next morning Rock and worked
the band down the half mile wide
coulee toward water, reaching it
near noon.
The sheep drank, then balled up
waiting for the cool of the afternoon.
All morning Rock was nervous,
often giving low growl and bris-
ting. Whenever looked at him he
would sniff the air, then look at me
as if puzzled because I couldn't smell
what he did. Sometimes he ended

I resolved that next time Rock

whose carcass would be worried,

Vatican Ambassador
Protest Meeting Here
Starts Controversy

Controversy over a Protestant
pilgrimage" to protest the sending
of a United States Ambassador
to the Vatican hared here today
on a wider front.
The protest mass meeting
scheduled for Thursday night at
Constitution Hall brought a COM
ment from Francis Cardinal Spell
man. Archbishop of New York,
and a reply by the Rev. De Loss
M. Scott. chairman of the pill
grimage.
Cardinal Spellman, on his re-
turn from a trip to Korea, sug-
gested in Boston yesterday that,
so far as the reported protest
pilgrimage was concerned, 'it
would be much more helpful if
all those planning to parade
donated a pint of blood to the
fighting men in Korea.
Chairman Scott declared here
today in behalf of the American
Council Of Christian Churches,
sponsor Of the Thursday meeting
that:
American Council constituents
are second to none in blood dona-
tions for our fighting forces. This
same patriotism compels them to
resist the threat to religious free
dom in our land by favoritism of
Roman Catholicism through q
United States diplomatic repre-
sentative to the Vatican. Let
Cardinal Spellman prove his dem
ocratic spirit and sincere desire
that church strife in our land
cease by urging no such represen-
tation at the Vatican"
Cardinal Spellman, in his state
ment in Boston, remarked that
the Vatican would like to have an
Ambassador from the United
States but isn't anxious about
the matter"
The protest meeting Thursday
will begin at 8 pm. with DR.. Carl
Mc1ntire, president Of the Inter
national Council of Christian
Churches, as principal speaker.
Jeopardy Is Feared.
'"The American Council believes
that President Truman's proposal
to establish diplomatic relations
with the Vatican violates the Con-
stitution which demands separa-
ton between church and state,
and in SO doing jeopardizes re-
ligious freedom" an announce
ment Of the meeting said.
President Truman had nomi-
mated Gen. Mark w. Clark as Am
bassador to the Vatican, but the
general withdrew as a candidate
for the proposed post after a rash
of protests from Protestants
throughout the country.
Plans New Appointment.
Mr.. Truman indicated, however,
he would appoint someone else to
the post.
The council claims total mem
bership of nearly 2 million prot
estants in some 5000 congrega-
tions.
It was announced that an esti-
mated 1000 persons would arrive
on a special train from the Phila-
delphia area alone. About 1900
persons are expected for the meet
ing. Headquarters will be at the
