C. BEHRENS. ELECTRIC J- "'-lie Jake Finds Out People Important By OSCAR FRALEY NEW YORK lUV-Nine merciless minutes finally proved to Jake Lamotta today that people are Important and money isn't a complete substitute for friendship. Jake for a decade operated on the theory that a man's best friend is himself and everybody else did not even deserve a call in the back-stretch. That was before the night of February 14 in Chicago when Sugar Ray Robinson battered the middleweight crown from his head.

What started as a great fistic encounter wound up in another St. Valentine's massacre. But no matter what they said about Jake, he Was dead game. Great Ovation For three rounds he took those killing Robinson head shots and still didn't go down. And, when it was over, the crowd gave him an ovation which really opened Jake's eyes.

Jake, the human tank with the Gibraltar jaw, is afraid now that the respect and near affection he earned from the fight fans in that one bout may not last. "All they want," he insisted bitterly as he prepared for his light heavyweight encounter with Irish Bob Murphy next week, "is to see bassador Dulles had an equally important part In getting this war started. 2. Air Force Chief of Staff General Hoyt S. Vandenberg's testimony also presented some puzzlers.

He declared the U. S. Air Force was operating on a 'shoestring" basis. He said the Korean war wouldn't be conclusive even If U. S.

bombers knocked out Manchuria and the principal cities of China. This doesn't sound at all like the statements being issued when the Air Force was feuding with the Navy a couple of years ago. 5. Senator Taft and Lieut. Gen.

Albert C. Wedemeyer would also seem to be at considerable odds over how to end the Korean war, or else Senator Taft has greatly changed his views. Last January. Senator Taft recommended In a speech that the U. S.

pull out of Korea and establish a new defense line based on Formosa and Japan, but when Gen. Wedemeyer In his testimony before the two committees recommended that the United States pull out of Korea, Senator Taft told reporter he was against it. Taft Preference Senator Taft now says he prefers a military stalemate in Korea to a 38th parallel peace settlement. Gen. Wedemeyer agrees only on the idea trot pence on the 38th parallel would be psychological defeat for the IT.

S. Otherwfse, Gen. Wedemeyer said so many things he, himself, later qualfied that it's a little difficult to keep up with him. He wouldn't pull out of Korea unless the United Nations did, but if we did stay Jn we should go It alone if necessary, to push the war harder. How you do all those things consistently is a bit of a mystery.

4. Most of the eight days Sec. Acheson was on the stand were spent in trying to hang full blame on him for the China debacle. But Gen. Wedemeyer went a long way in his testimony In placing primary responsibility on General MacArthur.

That came through Gen. Wedemeyer'g revelation that in 1945 he wanted seven U. S. divisions to defend Manchuria. General MacArthur, as Pacific Supreme Commander, turned down the request.

If approved, it might have prevented the rise of the' Chinese Reds. In recommending that the U. push the Korean war harder. Gen. Wedemeyer even advocated bombing the Manchurian railroad and breaking with Soviet Russia.

This is one to ponder. As a basis for comparison, consider what would happen if the Russian air force dropped just one bomb on the 470-mile Alaska railroad that runs from Seward to Fairbanks. Would that start World War Three 6. Gen. Wedemeyer' was dead right, though, when In 1947 he prophesied that the Russian-con, trolled North Korean Reds woijd attempt an inva-f sion of South Korea.

He was way ahead of the pack on that one. And nobody paid him any attention. But what all these cases prove, if anything, is that nobody but nobody can have all the right answers all the time. church. The Rev.

A. L. Embrce, pastor, will officiate and burial will be made in the Columbus cemetery with full military graveside rites. The body will lie in state at the Gass funeral home Saturday from 10 a.m. till 5 p.m.

when it will be taken to the home, there to lie in state until the services. Mr. Mielak, son of John and Anna Marfica Mielak, was born April 5, 1891 in Lincoln. When he Was about a year old, his parents moved to Columbus, and he had resided here since that time. He attended Platte county rural schools and St.

Bonaventure school. During World War I he served with the army signal corps, and following the war he was with the occupation forces in Germany for about a year. Four of his brothers were also In the service at that time. In hiB younger life, Mr. Mielak had done farm work, but afte? his discharge from the army he RADIO SERVICE EWERT BROTHERS GARY'S MacARTHUR TESTIMONY SHOWS NOBODY HAS ALL THE ANSWERS By PETER EDSON NEA Washington Correspondent WASHINGTON Senate double-committee investigation into the firing of Gen.

Douglas MacAr-thur has now reached a pretty confusing state. So much testimony has been taken that very witness appears to have stood on all sides of the question. It's possible to prove almost anything you want to by quoting only from parts of the testimony you may happen to agree with, or wish to believe. Since the only fun of getting into an argument is to get everyone completely, balled up, there are cited below a few examples on how the MacArthur dispute can now be reduced to near-absurdities. These are some of the points that will have to be cleared up if this marathon inquisition is to produce anything constructive at all: 1.

Former Defense Secretary Louis Johnson testified that when the Korean war broke out, Secretary of State Dean Acheson was for opposing the aggression with U. S. air and sea-power as deterrents to Communist aggression. So, at the start of the fight, Senator Taft and Secretary Acheson apparently held similar views, on this point. It was Gen.

MacArthur, according to Secretary Johnson, who. first declared that air and sea-power alone would do no good. It was Gen. MacArthur who said American ground troops would have to be used. Whose War? That would seem to make it Gen' MacArthur's war as much as Secretary Acheson's war.

And it points up a possible great difference in views between Senator Taft and General MacArthur. What is really needed to clear up this situation is some testimony from John Foster Dulles. He was in Japan when the Korea war broke out, and he knows exactly what General MacArthur thought about it all the time. This might show that Am me get my block knocked off," It's a new departure for the Bronx Dull. For years he was a took up painting and decorating.

Then he was a fat, awkward youngster from a large family, hoping, somehow to beat For a number of years he was a senior partner of Mielak Brothers until his retirement three years ago.

His marriage to Maudie Carls-trom Harbottle took place March 14, 1925 at la. Mr. Mielak was a member of the Methodist church and the American Legion. Surviving are his widow; two step-children, Mrs. Karl Enterline of Columbus and Lee Harbottle of Toledo, Ohio; two grandchildren; his aged father, John Mielak of Columbus; on sister, Mrs.

them, but not too many feel the same way anymore. Lamotta knows that although they hated him, they still respected his ability in the ring. Now, that he no longer is a champion, he is afraid that even the respect will go. So the emotional struggle rages behind the face of brown marble. Murphy, the man he faces in the start of his drive for a light heavyweight title fight, is an idolized war hero.

Jake is just Lamotta. But he had a taste of mob approbation that night he went down to defeat in Chicago. Never in victory had Jake felt so good. His aim right now is more of the same, so for the first time the Bronx Bull is treading cautiously 'through the China shop on public opinion. ters, 983.
