1850. when the Capital Division Of,
the ROK Army, under then-Col.
Song. was guarding a critical hill
along the famous Pusan perimeter
into which United Nations forces
had been pushed by the Red North
Koreans.
Ordered TO Hold Line
The Capital Division commander
had ordered all subordinates to
hold the defense line at any cost.
Gen. Song claimed 1t. Col. Che
had deserted his troops "in partic-
ularly important night combat
for two consecutive days from Is
September 1860. and / gave him
warning and caution at each time

commander again deserted the
hill alone without orders during
the night of Is September. 1850.

directed staff officers concerned
to exercise the authority of sum-
mary execution"
Gen. Song said he had deep
sympathy" for the bereaved FAM
lily, including the brother who
brought the murder charge, but
he was confident that "the judicial
authorities will clear UP the
legality and the problem of per-
sonal feeling in the nearest =
future"
Korean army authorities backed
Gen. Song in his contention that
commanders had the legal au-,
thority to conduct summary
execution Of battlefield deserters
during the war. 70
Later, 1t. Col. Yung Koo Che
was promoted to the rank of a
full colonel, according to his
brother. The Army notified the
family that Col. Che had been
killed in action. -.
Army Was Being Tested =
The ROK Army, at the time Of
the summary execution, in 1850,
was comparable to the Valley
Forge Army of the American Rev
olution, almost two centuries ago.
1t was being battle-tested for the
first time. The traditions Of hold
ing fast had not been firmly rooted
in the minds of the officers COM
manding the Korean forces. d..
There have been reports that
other high-ranking Korean officers
executed many Subordinates for
desertion and other serious battle
field errors during those trying
days.
The United States Army was
training the ROK Army at the
time, but the ROK Army order
was issued on Koreas sovereign
authority. =

do not condone the widespread
use of the battlefield executions.

murder charges when his case.
comes to trial. The effect on his
career, however, is something for
the future to decide.
There is no evidence available
here, however, that the new Ko-.
rean regime has any intention
of going to extremes in purging
past leaders. The matter, Of course,

Governments Power
While conceding the Importance

Almost About
thing
BY PERCY VILLA

During my two years as a news
paperman in Las Vegas, one Of the
finest persons l got to know was
James Arthur Gay. Those who
really know him as a friend call
him Jimmy" His nickname "Smil-
ey' is much more fitting
Jimmy was recently appointed
to the Nevada State Athletic
Commission by Gov Grant Sawyer,
marking the first time in history
Negro has been named to a state
post.
Jimmy is employed at the fab
ulous Sands hotel in Vegas, where
he serves as personnel director.
Gay, 43, came to Vegas II years
ago from Arkansas, a letterman
in track, baseball and football at
Arkansas State AM and n. Col
lege.
He also formerly boxed He serv-
ed as my assistant when I spon-
sored the first Golden Glove tourn-
ament in Vegas when I labored on
the Las Vegas SUN.
But that isn't all for the per
sonable Gay guy. He is a member
of the Las Vegas Gold Association.
He has long been prominent in the
links sport and has played in sew
eral national tournaments spon-
sored by Negroes.
Jimmy's personal acquaintan-
ces include many greats in the
sporting and entertainment
world who have appeared in
Las Vegas. 1t was he who intro
duced me to many Of the eel
ebrities.
Gay is also a graduate of the
Worsham School of Mortuary
Science in Chicago, where he
learned a trade he followed for 10
years He is part owner of the
Sunset Funeral Home in Las
Vegas.
Jimmy keeps in good physical
condition by playing golf three
and four times a week. To his
credit are six "holes-in-one" plus
winners trophies in a number of
local tournaments. He was the
first Negro member of the Las
Vegas Golf Association.
Gay will be the subject of
feature story in EBONY Magazine
in the next few months.
He is the father of four and
said he was grateful and deeply
honored' by the appointment to
the Nevada athletic body.
Jimmy was telling us on the
phone the other night:
This is perhaps the greatest
honor ever bestowed on me-" he
continued. You can rest assured
that l will serve with dignity and
pride, and do everything within my
power to uphold the ideals of the
sport Of boxing"

Aaron Ends HoIdouf;
Signs Braves Pact
For $4,000

Milwaukee (ANP)-Hank Aaron
who posted the National Leagues
best batting average in nine years
with a mark 1855 in 1859, won his
wage contract with the Milwaukee
Braves who gave him a $4,000
contract for the 1860 season.
The signing was announced here
last week after Aaron and McHale
came to terms during a telephone
conversation. Aaron spoke to Nc
Hale from his home in Mobile,
Ala, where he has been resting
with his family and lodging the
wintery blasts until spring training
begins.
The new contract gave Aaron
boost of about $4,000 over the
estimated $35, 900 he received in
SO.
The current leagues batting
champion, Aaron work at the plate
was definitely a factor in the
winning of his duel with the Braves
brass. In addition to batting 1855,
"Hammering" Hank garnered 400
total bases, the highest since 1913;
hit 80 home runs, and drove in
1923 runs. He also had a hefty
smuggling percentage of 1874.

But whether it's Wichita, or

not very far.
His weapons are obvious: A

ness is just as obvious: A temper
ament that swivels from rage to

His value to the Bearcats is
unquestioned. In New York City in
December, the Bearcats were trail
ing Iowa, % to IT, in the finals
of the Holiday Festival Touna-
ment.
George Smith, the Cincy coach,
called time out.

tied and by half time, to all in
tents and purposes, the game
Hawkeyes were through for the

first half splurge by the Big o..
"Td have to say this was Os-

Smith, because of the Importance
of this game. We've never been IL
points behind this year. Oscar
proved he's great clutch player"
Smith extoled:
Hes got the quickest reflexes
and the greatest pair of hands
I've ever SEEN"
Oscar is a prefectionist and his
own best critic, but after the Iowa
performance, he said:
"Of course, I'm satisfied. We
won and got this beautiful tro-
ply. But missed few easy ones"
The trophy was the most valu-
able player award for the tourney.
Robertson has been a boon to
basketball at the University Of Gin
cinnati. Until his arrival in the
Queen City, Cincy U teams were
something of an also-ran in college
basketball.
Attendance-wise, Robertson has
put the Bearcats on the map. Co

his teammates had played to $780,

iorHeTS VINO are superior TO the
Cincinnati ace.
Statistics speak more eloquent
ly than words. Based on the stag
gering figures alone, Oscar has to
be the greatest. His contemporaries
can't touch him and we believe that
he is a better college performer
than Elgin Baylor and Wilt Cham
berlain.
BY now. of course, it's history
that Robertson has broken the all
time scoring records for three and
four-year college competition. His
astronomical total las of this writ
ing) is 1852, points far surprising
the old record of 1887. He has at
least an outside chance to tally
5000 before his career at Cincin-
natl comes to an end.
The Bearcat star shows no inten-
ton to let up after he established
the record by scoring 20 points
against Houston. The next outing
was against North Texas State. All
Robertson did was to score a per-
sona high of 81, setting a Uniy-
ersity Of Cincinnati record and
Missouri Valley Conference mark.

Over his first two seasons, Rob

the leading college scorer in those
seasons and is almost a cinch to
repeat this year.

player.

Fans Still Are
In Corner Of
Maurice Stokes
BY Jack Saunders

Philadelphia, Pa. CAMP Dur
ling his heyday as a super-star of
National Basketball Association
league play, they called him "Maur-
ice The Magnificent"
! And, today, even though his
playing days apparently are over,
there are thousands and thousands
who have proved they still hold
the same high regard for him by
contributing more than $4,000 to
him in his greatest hour of need.
He was baptized Maurice
Stokes. For nearly two years he
has lowered between life and death,
the victim of a mysterious brain
illness which struck him down in
March of 1858.
One man has stuck by him
through thick and thin. That man
is Jack Twyman, red-haired star
of the Cincinnati Royals basket
ball team, who shared high-scoring
honors with Stokes until Maurice's
6 foot, 7 inch, 235-pound frame
was shattered by the cruel sickness
which nearly cost him his life.
Hospitalized Years
Maurice has existed in a Gin
cinnati hospital Christ hospitaD
since that Inflated day of 1858,
nearly two years ago, most of the
time not knowing who he was or
where he was.
I'VE expect him to make a COM
plete recovery, but it's doubtful
that he'll play basketball again,
said Jack Twyman on the eve of
the MIA All-Star game at Con-
vention hall, recently.
Twyman is trustee of The
Maurice Stokes Fund" He stated
that the nearly $4,000 spent thus
far in behalf of Stokes was con-
tributed by basketball fans and
other sympathetic persons in all
sections Of the country.
The bulk of the money received
by The Stokes Fund" Twyman
revealed, was netted through three
basketball games.
The first, an All-Star college
game played in Pittsburgh, Pa,
last winter, netted $4,000. The
second, a Summer All-Star tilt
played at Kutchers' in Monticello,
N. Y, netted $4,000. The third,
an MIA doubleheader played last
October, netted $4,000
THE Fund was swelled by con-
tributions sent through the mail"
Twyman said
I'VE have received letters con-
tanning checks for as much as $50.
Others have contained dollar bills,
half-dollars, quarters, dimes and
nickles.
Twyman added that a spaghetti
firm in Allentown, Pa, had DON
ated $4,000 worth of spaghetti and
Cincinnati restaurants had cooked
and sold the spaghetti and turned
the money over to the fund.
Maurice has received about So
900 letters of encouragement so
far" Twyman pointed out, land
they're still coming in"

As Ohio Sfote's
UnSuno Heroes
BY BILL BROWER

Chicago (ANP) - Much has
been written about Ohio States
apparent Big Ten basketball cham
pions and the role that Jerry Lucas
has played in leading the Buckeyes
to a great campaign.
But actually, Lucas, the touted
6-8 sophomore, is but one Of the
vital cogs in the Unbalanced
Ohio State team. Two of the start
ing five are tan players, the first
time OSU has had such representa-
ton.
The tan stars are Joe Roberts,
senior and co-captain, and Mel
Novel;, brilliant play-making sop
homore guard. Both are from Col
umbus, having performed at East
High School in the Buckeye capt.
tai.
Both Roberts and Novel; are
shooting in double figures. Novel;
is the top teams second highest
scorer, exceeded only by Lucas.
Roberts has been an outstanding
rebounder and has lent experience
to sophomore-studded team. The
third tan member, J. T. Landes,
has seen little action.
The Ohio State performers are
but a portion of the fine collection
Of tan stars this season in the Big
Ten Conference.
Indiana, after losing the first
three straight in conference COM
petition, came back with a rush,
winning seven straight lat this
writing). The Hooisers were led by
Walt Belamy, 60 junior pivot
star, and Leroy Johnson and Her
bic Lee, a pair of sharpshooting
guards.
Willie Jones Stars For n. U.

a key loss when Art Gowens, &c
junior center was lost because of
scholastic difficulties, has one of
the conferences outstanding per-
formers in Horace Walker, a SEN
ior frOr,, Tbas+ar Do

fast and won a regular position.
Northwestern, like Indiana, has
three tan regulars. They include
Willie Jones, captain who is rated
the conferences outstanding defen-
sive performer; Floyd Campbell
another senior, and Ralph Wells, a
sophomore.
Illinois, with its pair of seniors,
Governor Vaughn and Mamie
Jackson, has been an in-and-out
team. Vaughn and Jackson, in the
third season as regulars, are
among the conference leading scor-
ers.
Wisconsin has come fast in the
second half when Fred Burks,
standout sophomore from Chicago,
became eligible. Another tan men,
Der is Jim Biggs, a junior.
Michigan has got some outstand-
ing work from Lowell Farris, a
senior from Cleveland, who has
worked well in the pivot.
Iowa's seniors, Co-Captain Mold

have been performing well for the
Hawkeyes. One of the teams most
popular players, however, is Amer
icus John Lewis, who has seen

ADVANTAGE OF A GOOD
FOLLOW-THROUGH
BY Anita Cantallne
THE WOMAN BOWLER

l know that when most bowling
instructors discuss follow-through,
they mention only the bowler's
right arm. Granted that a full
smooth upward sweep of your arm
is a most important factor in a
well executed follow-through. But
you mustn't neglect the other parts
of your body the second you re-
lease the ball.
Let's start from the floor up.
Your left leg should be bent at
the knee with the weight of your
body balanced on the ball Of your
left foot. Since you are balancing
yourself entirely on the left leg,
you won't fall to the right. You
you need a counter-balance so that
you allow for this by extending
your right leg and left arm back
ward and to the left. Your body
should be in a crouch, bent at the
waist. To make certain that the
ball is delivered over the foul line,
l suggest that your head as well as
your arm be out over the foul line
Your hips and shoulders should
be parallel to the line.
Back to the arm motion in the
follow-through: If you quit on this
part of your delivery, the ball is
going to quit on you. Either it will
roll lazily down the lane with no
authority or you'll miss your tar
get. If your follow-through is jer-
ky, you'll probably dump" the
ball in back of your left foot or
hold on to it too long so that it
bounces on the lane like a beach
ball. Also most of your lifting
spin on the ball that makes for a
good mixing ball when it strikes
the pins will be absent without a
good follow-through-
Your right arm should continue
upward, outward and toward the
pins straight ahead until it reaches
at least your eye level. Never pull
your arm to the left or angle it
off to the right. Always stretch
it out in front of you and reach for
your target.
1t almost goes without saying
that it is just as important to
follow-through on your spare shots
as it is when shooting your first
ball for a strike.
We gals may not always knock
down as many pins as the men
bowlers, but we pride ourselves on
our graceful form when delivering
a bowling ball. A "pretty-as-a-
picture" follow-through will help
give us that grace and style as well
as increase our pin fall.
