WALNUT, Calf, April 80
(AP).-A world record of 16
teet inches in the pole vault
was on it's way toward official
recognition today and the
owner. Marine 1t. Dave Tork,
has an even loftier target.

ficial marks in the annual
Mount San Antonio Relays two
days ago.
Meet Director Hilmer Lodge
said everything is in order as
far as he knows for record ap-
plication on forks mighty leap.
The main problem could be
that Tork or another ex-Marine
John Uelses, may go even
higher before the international
committee acts on the pend
ing records.
Three Others Pending
Still on the books, and look
ing rather insignificant. is the
1914 height set by Don Bragg
in 1860.
George Davies, then of Ok
lahoma State, did 15-10A in
May, 1861. This also is pending.
Just last March 81 at Santa
Barbara, Uelses became the first
man to break the 16-foot CELL
ing outdoors-he's already done
it indoors-with mark Of 16
feet "a inch. This is pending
too.
Tork. Marine since 1858
and a graduate of West Virginia
ginia, received some national
attention when he finished
second to Uelses at Santa Bar
bara with 1894 and made a
good try for the 16-foot level.
Tork didn't start to vault
in the meet here until the bar
reached Is feet. He and Davies
both used fiberglass poles. He
did it on his first try and
cleared again at 15-7 on the
first leap.
Davies. now of Arizona State,
and Gerald Pratt. a lefthanded
vaulter from Texas Southern,
managed the l5-7 but failed at
1862. Tork almost made it on
his first effort and then cleared
it on his second.
Family on Hand
Tork is a family man. and
on hand to give him a jubilant
kiss were his wife, Mary 10. and
daughters Diane, 6. and Patti,
5. Dave tried for the 1914 but
was never close in three at
tempts.
Dave often has predicted he
would set a new mark. One of
the most recent occasions was
after the Quantico Relays

Now that he has the 29th
annual Metropolitan Schoolboy
golf championship safely tucked
away after beating Joe Simp-
son of Loudoun. 3 and l. at
Columbia yesterday. Ricky
MeiSSner of Bulls is getting
curious.
He'd like to find out how
good he is. If he shows up we'll
in some of the upcoming
tournaments he's going to
enter, he's very good indeed.
His first major test will be
the National Open qualifier at
Woodmont May 81 when he'll
play against most of Washing
tons best pros and amateurs.
If he gets by that one, he'll
then be thrown in the arena
June S at Manor against an
even more formidable field in
the sectional qualifier where
players from much of the East
Coast try TO win places in the
Open.
Of course, the Maryland,
Middle Atlantic and District
Amateur tournaments will be
more reasonable tests of his
ability, and Ricky, a powerful
6-foot-4, 195-pounder, says
he'll play in them all.
Keeps Improving
This was Meissner's third
try at winning the Schoolboy
tournament. He progressively
improved in each one. Two
years ago he went out in the
second round. Last year he was
the tournament medalist, shoot
ing SO at Indian Spring, and
losing to the eventual winner,
Dick Taylor, in the semifinals.

Stepovich Says Egan Trying to Keep Eyes Of Voters Off Real Issues

ANCHORAGE LR - Gov Wm. Egan lis frantically attempting to hide the ruinous deeds of his ad- ministration, Egan's Republican opponent in the Nov. 6 guberna- torial election. Mike StepoVich, said Monday night.
 Speaking before an audience at the Alaska Methodist University, Stepovich said Egan, in attacking Stepovich's legislative voting rec ord of 8 or 10 years ago, actually .'is trying to keep the eyes of the voters off the real issues.
 Stepovich said these issues were what he termed Egan-backed tax increases which have boosted the cost of living, the use Of oil lease revenues to pay current operating expenses and a record of endless failure He has not given Alaska the highways, airports, scaools and other things for which money was appropriated.
 'sWorst of all Stepovieh said, s'he gives us no hope for the future only the prospect of more tax increases when our oil lease money declines.
 Stepovieh said Egan, however, won't discuss these matters. Tie COP candidate said Egan's attacks on his voting record were How form of campaigning.
 By using the same tactics, l can prove that Gov. Egan voted five times against construction of school buildings and gymnasiums, voted against expansion of the University of Alaska, voted to place an anti-union right-toWork referendum on the ballot and voted to reduce the states minimum wage from S100 to 75 cents an hour

Engineers Disagree With Cost of Capital Move
 ANCHOR AGE

ANCHORAGE R - Cost com putations by Juneau engineers and architects on relocating the capital have been condemned by l3 of their counterparts in Anchorage. A letter has been sent to news papers of Alaska saying that the Juneau document does not repre- sent all the facts of bona fide engineering analysis.
 The letter also said it does not represent the majority of views of Alaskan engineers and archi tects or any official view of their professional organizations.
 The Anchorage engineers and architects said:
 Ut is regrettable and cannot be condoned that the news media, paid advertisements and various organ izations imply or state that the report was prepared un d CT auspices of other than Juneau members of the various profes sional societies
 The letter was signed by Robert Hoffman, a professional engineer. He said 12 other engineers and architects had joined him in the letter.
 The Juneau document that IS the target of the letter purported
 
 to present costs of building an en- tirely new city in the wilderness. The engineers said it would cost S262 million and would have to cover l5,280 acres.
 The report said the state would have to provide 1,0l5 houses for state employees at cost of S25 ,ooO each, pay for building hotels, motels, apartments and other com munity facilities.
 The Juneau engineers and arehi, tects set the initial population o the city at 9,550 despite the fac that the City of Juneau, in 1866 had 6,700 population includin fishermen and men in other em ployment.
 They said the state would hay to sell bonds of $50 million ant pay $58,141 ,000 in interest to ii nance a capital relocation.

 The Army alerted an extra pla toon of White-helmeted military police but did not use them.
 Student leaders, faculty mem- bers and Army officers attributed the explosive campus feeling to Mississippi's coming football game with Louisiana State.

here for a young man, any

AS a journalist, it is some
times discouraging TO know
that you are writing for an
audience of perhaps 10000
readers, while you could be
reaching several hundred
thousand or even many more
in another position. Then, too.
there is this matter of edu-
cation l have for sometime
now, felt a mounting desire to
return to school for further
study. Education, of course,
is one of those things which
you've got to get while you
can or chances are you simp-
ly won't. The older you get, I
think, the more you realize
this to be true.
That being the case, | plan
to do postgraduate work in
some form or fashion come
January. Strangely enough,
however, it won't be journa-
ism school which will draw
my attention, but rather law
school which has always in
terested me much more.
At any rate, this writer has
not departed, yet And, if
anyone should happen to be
interested, l will discuss my
plans more fully in the next
few weeks.
