G. Simons, back from a balloon
flight to a region where the stars
don't twinkle at night and the day
time sky is purple-black, today
slept off his vigil with outer space.
Simons, a nervy Pennsylvanian
with a yen for the unknown
brought his huge plastic bag to
earth in a (lax field on the bor
der between North and South Da
kota yesterday after an unpre
cedented, 32-hour flight to the top
of the atmosphere.
Simons, a 34-year-old father of
four, ascended to altitudes over
100.000 feet - 19 miles.
Upon landing, Simons cut loose
the gondola and the balloon bil
lowed up again to an altitude of
about 1,500 feet. It landed three
miles to the west, where souvenir
hunters later tore it to pieces.
Radar trackers estimated the
balloon carried Simons to a rec
ordbreaking 102,000-foot level. If
confirmed by later calibiation of
instruments in the balloon, this
would be 6.000 feet higher than

Some Arrests
DAMASCUS I A Syrian gov
ernment spokesman said Wednes
day "some arrests" have been
made of army officers in connec
tion with an alleged American
plot to overthrow the Syrian re
gime. The names of the men arrest
ed are not available now, since
an investigation is under way, but
when the investigation ends, all
information will become public,
the spokesman said.
"It is a question of security."
he added.
Syria's new army chief insists
that "gangsters made in Ameri
ca" plotted to kill him and other
Syrian military leaders.
The alleged mass assassination
plan, Maj. Gen. Afif Bizry told
Western newsmen, was part of
a plot Syria has charged the Unit
ed States directed against the
Syrian government.
"They were to send gangsters
to our houses to kill us." Bizry
declared. "They were gangsters
made in America."
The military chief leveled the
charge, shortly after Syria instruct
ed its ' U.N. delegation to inform
the Security Council that the Unit
ed States had conspired to over
throw President Shukri Kuwatly'j
