RUSSIAN cLEARs17-3
Defeated Thomos Calls
Brunei Greatest Jumper

Hes the greatest, ad-
ms John Thomas, the 6-S
H1ston University junior,
speaking Of Valery Brunei
BRUNEI. an 18-year-old Rus
san, and Thomas. q 19-year-
Cd American. clashed last
rileht for the first time since
Lao years Olympic Games
when they met in the New
York Athletic Club Games at
Madison Square Garden.
Thomas got no higher than
q feet / inch. but Brunei,
endy-haired and handsome,
cleAred Z feet 8 inches, which
eaualed Thomas best indoor
performance. Thomas still
holds the official world record
Of 7-3%, but Brunei climbed
over 7.4lz three weeks ago in
1hingrsd, jumping indoors on
asdirt floor.
Cheered BY Crowd
s1homAs missed three times
at Ia last night and Brunei
cleared it on his first shot.
At 7-3 Brunei missed twice,
but on the third try over he
went over and the crowd Of
1880 went wild. The spec
tators obviously were backing
the Russian.
Brunei hardly wasted q
minute before ordering the bar
to 7-5, but he missed on all
three tries.
Il like the board takeoff,
but the music disturbed me q
little" he said through an in
terpreter. I'm not used to
that in Russia. Also. Madison
Square Garden was a little
stuffy."
Brunei carefully avoided
watching Thomas each time
the American jumped. He took
a seat facing away from the
bar and fiddled with his shoe
laces.
:. Did watching Thomas make
him nervous?
e1"No," he said. "It's Just q
habit Of mine. No matter who
my opponent is. I don't watch
him"
He added that he liked the
general idea Of indoor meets.
s-."I was enjoying myself 50
much watching the races" he
said, that I almost forgot I
was scheduled to jump against
enc Of the greatest high jump
ers in the world.
s1Ag Praised by Thomas
II know Thomas can 90
higher than he did. I don't
know if I can keep beating
him, but I'll try"
Besides calling Brunei the
greatest. Thomas did not ap-
pear too upset. He gracefully
accepted defeat and compli-
l1ented his high jump con-
uueror. -.
Brunei had finished second
IN the Olympic high jump won
BY his fellow countryman Rob-
ert Shavlakadze. Thomas, the
heavy favorite, was third.
Thomas called the Russian
"a hell Of a jumper"
When asked about his own
performance. Thomas said, Il
never Squabble about a 7-foot
jump. I was as good as I
ever was"
Thomas left no doubt in
anybody'S mind that his main
mission in track from now on
is TO beat the Russian.
"The height itself isn't
paramount" he said. II want
to beat him" In answer to a
hypothetical question. he said
he would rather beat Brunei
at IA then jump 7-6 by him
self. MY goal always is to beat
the other man." he explained.
Brunei and Thomas meet
twice more, in the National
Az championships next Satur-
day and the knights Of Co
lumbus meet In the Garden

U. S. Says Tuss
SIunted Version

State Department officials
said yesterday the TaSs version
of the interview President Ken
nedy gave to the Soviet news
paper IzveStia was "slanted and
tendentious." Tass is the Off
cial government news agency

BY criticizing the Tess sum-
mary of the interview, the Of
ficials made it clear that they
shared Mr.. Kennedy's delight
over the opportunity given to
the President to explain the
United States position to the
more than four million readers
of Izvestia, the Communist
government newspaper.
Those, however, who read
the TasS version, and rot the
complete interview as carried
in Izvestia, certainly will not
get the full and true picture OF
What Mr.. Kennedy said, State
Department specialists COM
mented.
The version Tass distributed
to the other Soviet papers, both
in Moscow and throughout the
country, omitted a number OF
points the President made, and
in general, gave prominence tt
the little speeches made BY
Alexei Adzhubei, the 1zvestis

Check Artist
Suspects Held

The long arm of coincidence
and a thought-provoking array
of check books on hotel
dresser yesterday led FBI
agents and a Washington de-
tective to arrest two Florida
men on charges involving bad
checks.
Their arrest came because a
clerk at the Allen Lee Hotel,
1924 F street NV, thought one
of them looked like a man
whose picture was on an FBI
wanted poster. 1t turned out
to be a case of mistaken iden-
tity because neither man was
on the wanted list.
In the hotel room, Detective
Sergt. Ben D. Clark of the
Check and Fraud Squad said
four check books were spotted
on a dresser while he and the
FBI agents were talking to the
men.
This led to further discussion
and Detective Clark said they
discovered $50 blank checks on
the Central Bank of Tampa
which had been stolen from the
Quaker Life Insurance Com
pany of Tampa, Fla. In a car
registered to one of the suspects
he said, they found a check
writing machine and an elec-
trio typewriter.
Also found in the room, De-
tective Clark said, were eight
checks in the form of life in
Surance premium payments and
made out in amounts from S214
to $186. He said the investiga-
tors also found wallets contain
ing Identification of persons
other than the suspects.
The men were identified as
Michael L. Murphy, 25, and
Marion N. Courtney, 80, both
of Bradenton. The FBI said
they were charged with trans
portation Of stolen securities in
interstate commerce on the
basis of one bad check cashed
in Florida.

John Lewis Smith, jr., set bond
at $4,000 each and continued
the cases until December 6.

Court ReVerses
$12,500 Award
To Sears Worker

The Municipal Court OF
Appeals yesterday decided that
a woman employe who won
| $12,500 from Sears, Roebuck &
Co. in a suit charging malicious
prosecution was not entitled to
| the claim because her arrest
was legal.
The court reversed a jury
verdict of September, 1860, for
Mrs. Katherine Gault, 43, of
2511 Fairlawn avenue Sc, who
was employed at the tobacco
concession shop in a Sears
store at 2845 Alabama avenue
Sc.
Mrs. Gault was arrested on
charges of petty larceny and
| receiving stolen property on the
basis of statements made by
another employe, one of four
questioned about pilfering of
merchandise, according to court
papers.
A jury acquitted her in May,
1858, and she sued for damages
of $4,000. The jury awarded
her $500 compensatory dam
ages and $4,000 punitive dam
ages for malicious prosecution,
In its appeal, Sears said
Judge Austin l.. Fickling should
have granted a defense motion
to dismiss the suit. The store
said Mrs. Gault's arrest was
legal because the other en-
ploye's statements provided
enuogh probable cause. or rea-
Sonable basis, for the arrest.
1t said the arrest was made
after consultation with Assist
ant United States Attorney Ed
mond T. DAILY, chief prosecutor
at Municipal Court. In its
opinion, the appeals court noted
that probable cause for arrest
is not the same as probable
cause for conviction.
