By JACK HEWINS

VANCOUVER, B.C., R- Cou- rageous litle Murray Halberg of New Zealand ranked today with kings and conquerors after beat ing the great Roger Bannister and out-performing John Landy yesterday in the mile trials at the British Empire Games.
 Murray may bow tomorrow to the power of the legs of the mighty when Bannister and Landy wage the duel that the world has been awaiting since they cracked the 4-minute barrier in separate tests earlier in the year.
 But the Empire Games mile to- morrow will be men against men instead of men against the clock and the little Auckland school teacher has proven himself man. Murray went out and set the pace in the first heat of yes terday's trials-they called it the "Bannister heat" - and he was still out there in front when the timers clicked the clocks and read then at 4 minutes, "A sec onds.
 Bannister, chopping along in his big, loose, elbow pumping easy style was third in the heat behind Canada's Rich Ferguson. And then in the Handy heat" another New Zealander scored a surprise first place. Bill Baillie crossed the line in 4:11.4 almost arm in arm with Vic Milligan of Northern Ireland and the great Landy, who was third.

 The 1852 Democratic candidate for president arrived last night to complete a narrowing trip from Great Falls, Mont.
 Although a lightning bolt did minor damage to an airliner carrying Stevenson over central Montana, none was injured.
 As they flew through heavy rain at 14,OOO feet over Lewis town, Mont, lightning bolt struck the left propellor shaft. The twin engine plane was bathed in brilliant light and was jolted with an explosive noise.
 "There was a great flash and a terrible noise," Stevenson said on landing at Billings, where the plane was delayed about two hours for repairs.
 "It gave me my first scare in more than 30 years of flying"
 The pilot, Capt. Ray Bullock, AZ, of Denver, said the bolt struck the propeller, snapped the radio antenna atop the planes cabin, and discharged through the tail.

FRANKFURT, Germany, lR = The peek-a-boo war is over. The women lost. The colonel won.
 Capitulating, US. Army wives and daughters here fell in line today with orders of Col. John Dilley to avoid exposing too much of their charms.
 Col. Dilley, commander of the Frankfurt Detachment, fired in- structions at American Army women here to refrain from wearing bare midriff sunsuits, low-cut strapless dresses and beach shorts in public.
 One blast was aimed at women who go to the PIX with curlers in their hair.
 "They look awful" he said. He also banned blue jeans for ma ture women"
 The feminine counterattack was powerful.
 "The idea, tell us grown women what we can wear and can't wear," said one. "You never hear of us going around and telling the Army what to wear"
 But the colonel, decorated vet eran of the North African cam paign stuck to his guns.
 Somebody had to tell them, y he said. You should have seen the worst offenders against good taste.'
 After the initial jolt, the women began to surrender, one by one.
 q think Dilley's a dilly," said one. Some of us did look pretty bad, wearing everything from blue jeans to beach suits right out on busy streets"

Air Force Will Send Its Men To Alaska Via Seattle

SEATTLE, R-More than 500 airmen a month probably will move through Seattle under the streamlined new Air Force pro- gram which routes Alaska forces via the Pacific Northwest instead of California.
 Contrary to first reports out of Washington, airmen will con- tinue to travel to and from the territory aboard ships, according to Maj. Robert L. Hartwig, Air Force port representative here. Officers will travel by air via McChord Air Force Base.
 Announcement of the new rout- ing plan came at a meeting of high military and government officials called by Senators War ren Magnuson and Henry Jackson to consider proposals of Mayor Pomeroy's Maritime Advisory Committee to save Alaska's ocean passenger service.
 However, Major Hartwig said, the Air Force has been preparing several months for the shift to Seattle, which will become effec- tive next November. He described the economy move as "an effort to shorten our personnel pipeline to Alaska"
 The Seattle routing will cut 1000 miles off the ocean round trip and save each transport 212 days cruising time, an estimated saving of almost $9,000.
