BY me Associated Press

The United States may act

land.
That would torpedo Red
China's claim, made In a broad

being held as hostages for IL

It would also set the stage
for United Nations efforts,
projected for the week after
Christmas, to have the flyers
freed. U. N. Secretary General
Dag Hammarskjold has offered
to 60 to Peiping then to discuss
the case. Peiping has yet to
reply.
The State Department yester-
day ruled out any deal in
which the students would be
snapped for the airmen. How
ever, Department Press Officer
Lincoln White would not say
the IS students would be re-
fused exit permits.

Zotopek Predicts He'll
Break New 5000 Mark

PARIS, May 81 (P.-Emil
Zatopek, Czechoslovakia's ugly
duckling distance star, wasted no
time today in predicting that his
new world record for the 5000
meters would be broken-by
himself.
The great runner came out
from behind the Iron Curtain
long enough yesterday to race
the 5000 meters in 1852,
erasing Gunder Haegg's 12-year-
old world record of 1882.
II think can beat even this
time" said Zatopek, who now
holds nine world records. But
to do this will have to set a
definite schedule and gain at
least several tenthS of a second
along the way. especially at the
4,000-meter mark"
He added that he was not
surprised at the result, even
though he had no one calling
out fractional times to him.
II was in good condition and
In perfect health" he comment
ed. II was feeling fine and I
was stimulated by the warm
welcome of the fans"
!. In addition to his newest
mark. Zatopek holds the world
record for the 6 miles (28:OS.4);
10000 meters (29:01.6): 10 miles
(48:12); 10000 meters (59:51.8);

ters); Is miles d:16:26.4); u.s.
900 meters U:19:11.8); $4,000
meters Q:35:23.0.
AS usual. his appearance had
political overtoneS. At first, he
was refused a visa because of al
legged derogatory statements the
last time he saw Paris. He de-
MED he made them after the
French Foreign ONCE changed
its mind and issued the visa.
The race, which Is slightly
more than 3 miles. followed the
familiar zatopek pattern. He
went out front by himself and,
grimacing and comforting his
face as If every step hurt, pushed
himself to the record.

Baseball May Take
Sehoolboy Winner
From Golf Events
By MerrelI WhittIesey

Bruce Kessler threatens to pull
a Ben Hogan with that newly
won Metropolitan Schoolboy title.
He's going to put it in moth
balls.
Not nearly as serious about his
golf as most of the youngsters
in the 21St annual tournament.
the Bethesda Chevy Chase High
sophomore, who was Is a week
ago. may be through with the
game for the summer.
Kessler, who probably is the
best natural golfer of the teen
ayers. said he has an offer to
play Boys Club baseball with a
19-year age limit team, and he
figures he'll play baseball in all
his spare time this summer.
Won't Defend Title.
II might play in one or two
tournaments but ] doubt it," he
said after beating Jerry Meier
rem, 4 and 3, in the final match
yesterday at Columbia Country
Club. II just like baseball better
and I positively won't defend
my title next year. I'll be play
ing baseball for Bethesda" He
said he couldn't quite make the
Bethesda team this year.
Kessler's golf was overshad-
owed by McFerren's play in the
qualifying and first three match
play rounds. but KeSSler was
only a step back. In one stretch
last week, the last few holes Of
his qualifying round and in his
first two matches, he played 81
holes at Argyle, Indian Spring
and Chevy Chase in one over
par. For Is holes he was two
over yesterday from the back
tees and under summer rules. He
lost only one hole, the 14th to
McFerren's birdie. He was 5 up
going to the 14th.
Another McFerren.
It was a disappointing finish
to the tournament for Jerry. a
Blair High senior. who in four
years of dual meet competition
lost only one match, to Hank
Mauz of Westinghouse. But
like his brother Bill. now a
sophomore at Maryland. he
couldn't win the Schoolboy.
However, there's another Nc
Ferren. Bobby, who's freshman
at Blair and pretty good golfer.
If Kessler passes up tn e
schoolboy golf tournament next
year he will be missing "a chance
to tie Billy Shea, Alton Willett.
Sidney Lanier, the late Buddy
Worsham and Billy Wolfe as two
time winners.
Favored by Long Tees.
The youngsters who know
both Kessler and McFerren fig
ured playing the back tees would
give Kessler an edge and it did.
He's considerable longer than
Jerry and usually straight.
Kessler, a happy-go-lucky
type who smiled and joked with
his buddies after good shots or
bad, almost hooked out of
bounds on the first hole. He
played a fine recovery shot over
the green and Clipped back dead
for his par. McFerren tested
him though. asking him to make
a 4-inch putt.
Kessler had two puts for a
win on the second hole but
dropped a 2O-footer for a birdie
while trying to play it safe. That
was good for fast 2-hole lead
and Bruce never let it get away.

Prior 10 Marine Call
by the Associesed Press

There's no doubt in Wes Santee's
mind about the four-minute mile

but he's confidently eyeing three
more chances at the elusive tar
get before joining the Marines.
THE four minute mile Is q

Santee's next outing is Friday

about June 49,.

Santee has been pointing his
training to these three final
events. IF I can get some one
to push me in those races. maybe
I'll do it then" he added.
At Compton, Santee will face
Sweden'S Ingvar Erickson and
Russ Bonham of Whittier, Calf.
Josy Barthel of Luxembourg, the
Olympic 1.500-meter champion.
is scheduled to go in the mile
at Los Angeles.
If Roger Bannister Of England
hadn't streaked 1894 in the
mile earlier this month, Santee's
Saturday night performance in
the Missouri Valley AAU track
championships would be o
worlds record.
Santee, who has been freely
predicting he will run the four
minute mile. offered no excuses
for missing it again, although he
admitted an error in judgment
might have cost him.
Lost Precious Seconds.
He failed to pass pace-setter
Art Dalzell. a teammate, in the
sixth 220-yard stretch.
Il lost precious seconds by
trailing for 80 or 40 yards when
should have been on my own."
Santee said. Santee finally over
took DalzeN on a curve. That ate
up additional time.
