MELBOURNE, Dec. 6.-"once
your arrhs get tired in that
stroke, you're through" Shelley
Mann said after winning the
gold medal in the Olympic 100
meter butterfly race in record
time.
The blond miss from Arling-
ton, Va. confided, that strategy
worked out between herself and
her coach. Stan Tinkham of the
Walter Reed Swim Club of
Washington, paid off in the big
race.
'It's the greatest thing that's
ever happened to me-" Shelley
said. Il thought I could win,
but races are never won until
they're over. Nancy Ramey had
amazing time while we were still
in Los Angeles, and that worried
me a bit. But when I did 1:11.2
in the Semiflnals, it brought back
my confidence.
"Stan and I planned that /
would swim down taking my
time, but when I made the turn
I was supposed to turn 1t on"
And that's what happened.
Miss Ramey, 16-year-old star
from Mercer Island, Wash, set
the early pace and was in front
until Is meters from the finiGl.
Miss Mann turned on the heat
to win in the Olympic record
time of I'LL fiat.
Shelley, student at Ameri-
can University in Washington,
says she's going to buckle down
to her college education.
I'll still swim competitively, +"
she says. but it won't be my
whole life. I'm going to let
swimming fit into my life instead
of my life into swimming"
Miss Mann's long-range plans
are centered around a career in
radio and television. She brought
with her a complete tape re-
cording outfit and has busted
herself recording interviews
including those in which she

The japanese, who used to be
a terrific power In swimming
crashed through with a gold
medal in the 200-meter breast
stroke when Masaru FurukaWa

timing of 2:34.7, breaking his
own mark set in the heats. There
was not an American finalist in
the event but Russia took third
and fifth places for six points.
Japan also took the silver medal.
Breen Carries Hopes
George Breen, the sensational
Buffalo, N. Y, swimmer who
lowered the world record in the
1.500-meter trials, will carry
Americas hopes all by himself
against Australia's Murray Rose
and Japan's Takeshi Yamanaka
in tomorrow's eight-man 1900

1t should be sensational race,
for Breen broke Roses record

The people of ST. Thomas
turned out TO give Chief jus

warm welcome this morning.
The demonstration was also
a tribute TO Governor Walter
A. Gordon, who has been a
personal friend of the Chief
Justice since they were stu
dents at the University Of Cali
fornia.
Both Governor Gordon and
Chief Justice Warren paid
high tribute to each other
the Governor when he intro
duced Justice Warren and
the latter when he addressed

Judge Herman E. Moore of
the United States Distsrict
Court paid tribute to both
Justice Warren and Governor
Gordon. He said in part:
AS I was riding in the pa
rade one outstanding fact i'm
pressed me. The captain Of

THE CHIEF JUSTICE VISITS

H CHIEF JUSTICE VISITS
THESE ISLANDS are certainly honored to have as a
visitor the Chief Justice of the United States Of America.
Indeed, he is one Of the most distinguished men to come to
these parts, and his visit is flattering, to say the least.
IT HAS BEEN said that no judicial post in the world
compares to that Of Chief Justice Of the United States. In
fact, no court was conceived, nurtured, or lives in an atmos-
phere of greater honor and distinction. Its word is law, its
its rulings are watched and followed with greatest care
throughout the world.
U H CHIEF Justice is even more than the head
of a court. He is, as his title indicates, the Chief Justice, not
Of the Supreme Court, but Of the United States. When the
Senate sits as a judicial body, which it may do in impeach-
ment proceedings, it is the Chief Justice who presides.
GOVERNOR GORDON has especial cause to be proud
and satisfied as he plays host to this distinguished visitor.
These two men are friends Of long standing, the Governor
having been appointed, and and for many years having work
ed under the then Governor Of California. And it would not
be entirely inaccurate to say that the Chief Justices word,
which certainly carries weight in the Administration, may
have been spoken at the appropriate moment for proper ef-
feet. In fact, it is a credit in itself to be able to enjoy the
respect and admiration of a man Of Chief Justice Warrens
stature, so much SO that it could be translated into words Of
commentator at the appropriate time and occasion.
THESE ISLANDS are happy and honored to have the
Chief Justice Of the United States visiting here, and it is the
wish of everyone that his stay, though of necessity brief, will
nevertheless be a most enjoyable one. And may he return.
