...Pensioner Gasque began to outpropose Pensioner Rankin. While Mr. Rankin languished with laryngitis, shrewd Mr. Gasque assaulted the Treasury with no less than nine new bills. But last week found Mr. Gasque bedded in Walter Reed Hospital with a reported heart attack and Mr. Rankin's lieutenant, Congressman Glenn Griswold of Peru, Ind. took his side's opportunity to steal a march.

Last week, with his Dartmouth record not yet officially accepted, he competed in the annual games of the Knights of Columbus in Manhattan. Without close competition-Gene Venzke crossed the line 30 yards behind him-he breezed through a mile in 4 min. 7.4 sec., breaking his own (recognized) indoor record by one second. Seventy minutes later he attempted something more difficult. He entered the 600-yard race, less than half his usual distance. The others made a sprinting start. He elected...
