30 Soldiers Are
Feared Drowned
BY SAM sUMMERLiN

SEOUL, Korea R - Thirty U. 5.
soldiers on a training exercise to-
day were feared drowned by a wall
of water which engulfed them sud-
denly as they crossed a South Ko-
rean river.
In announcing last Mondays
tragedy. the u. S. Eighth Army
said bodies of only four had been
recovered. Boats with graphing
hooks swept the unidentified river
for the other 26 missing men OF
the 4Sth Infantry Division.
Names were withheld until next
of kin are notified.
Rain from a typhoon which
lashed Okinawa and Korea this
week unleashed the crushing nine
foot wall of water in the normally
knee-deep river.
The men, part of one platoon,
were trapped on a sandbar as they
started to ford the river.
The Army said the platoon lead
er lost his life trying to reorganize
his men and get them to safety
when the flash flood roared down
the stream.
It called the tragedy an "act OF
God" and said the tricky terrain
in Korea made sudden river floods
possible at any time.
A truck bearing eight men and
some ammunition was caught In
the flood as it started across at
shallow point. A sudden rise
bowled over the truck and swept
it and its passengers downstream.
The Army said the missing rs
men included one officer and Is
enlisted men.
Eleven of the platoon were swept
onto higher sandbars and escaped.

The Key West Conchs. who sell
dom lose a ballgame by more than
one run, bowed last night, to the
Tampa Smokers in honorable de-
feat in that city. The score -
5-4.
Dale Mattewson, Tampa hill stall
wart, racked up his twentieth
victory of the current season in
hurting the win.
The Smokers plated three runs
in the opening inning and the
Conchs came back with a like num-
ber in the third to knot the count.
Single runs in the fourth and
seventh frames, gave the Smokers
the verdict.
Key West threatened in the third
with one out before Matthewson
sent the next batters down in order.
The Conchs scored single run in
he eighth.
Gaspar DelMorae performed on
the hill for the Conchs, giving up
eight hits. While Key West col
lected but six off Matthewson. Four
Key West errors hurt their chanc-
es.
Larry Pecou collected three Of
the Tampa bingles to lead them at

Florida international League, with
the beach team currently holding

burg Saints licked the West Palm
Beach Indians Al and the Tampa
Smokers nosed out the Key West
Conchs 5-4.

bans was the 18th in a row for
the Beach team. It was also the
18th win for Pitcher Bob Palmer
against six losses. The Flamingos
scored three times in the first in
ming, and added two more in the
seventh, largely due to a triple
by Jack Caro-.
The Sun Sox played heads up
ball during both shutouts against
hapless Lakeland aggregation,
making four double plays in each
contest. The Sox punched five sim
giles in the big fifth inning Of the
opener for five runs and the game.
The St. Petersburg Saints broke
up tie ball game in the seventh
with three run furry to earn
their Al decision over the West
Palm Beach Indians.

Smokers tonight with a single
game. The next home stand will
be against Lakeland at Wickers
Field Saturday night.

After 10 years or more In Asia,

Great Khan, and he had asked
them to take letter to the Pope.
The Great Khan had liked what
the Polos told him about the Chris

to send 100 missionaries. The ruler
said that If the missionaries could
prove that they had the best re-

queen of hearts he would have fol-

finesse, losing to the king. Mr..
Meek would have returned either

return would have assured the de-
feat of the contract.
On a trump return, dummy'S
queen would win. Mr.. Dale's best
play would then be to cash the ace

would over ruff and lead a third
round of diamonds, giving Mr..
