...track & field squad, made up almost entirely of athletes who placed 1-2-3 in last year's national championships, will be strong. Two of its big stars are the Rev. Bob Richards, who cleared 15 ft. again last week in Manhattan, and Yale's Jim Fuchs, holder of the world shotput record. Though Champion Miler Don Gehrmann, unbeaten in 38 races, will not make the trip, the U.S. will be represented by such outstanding runners as Hugo Maiocco, winner of last week's National Indoor 600-yd. race, and T/Sgt.

The voters are impressed with the low rate, but the city cannot meet its expenses. The debt...

His Anglo American is the biggest single holder in the immensely rich new fields of the Orange Free State, and has put up more than half of the ?200 million ($560 million) being spent to develop them. Believing that South Africa must wipe out the disgrace of its mining "kraals," where Bantu workers live like prisoners, he has led the spending of ?70 million by mine operators to develop a model village to house...
