Policeman
Credited With
Rescue of 12
CHICAGO Ur- Policeman James
Ross was credited with rescuing 12
persons, including seven children
and an elderly crippled and blind
man, from a burning apartment
building on the Vest Side Monday.
Ross, 29, was passing the build
ing en route to his traffic post
When he saw two small boys car
rying an undressed Infant. He
questioned them about the infant
and they pointed to a building,
laying, "There! a fire in there."
Ross ran into the smoke-filled
building and found four small boys
huddled in the hallway. He carried
two and pushed the other two to
Force officers associated with high
altitude, high speed bailout experi
ments. ,
The officers reported that Lt.
Henry P. Nielsen, 31, co-holder of
the unofficial record for high alti
tude parachute jumps, will lead
the new attempts. Nielsen and one
other airman would make the
jumps, using recently developed
automatic operating parachutes
and other experimental equipment.
Taking part in the newt confer
ence were Nielsen, Col. Arthur
Henderson, assistant chief of the
Aero Medical Laboratory, Dayton,
Ohio, and Capt. Edward G. Sperry
of the Air Research and Develop
ment Command, Baltimore.
To Develop Equipment
Henderson said the purpose of
the planned jumps is to develop
safe equipment and procedures for
bailing out of fast planes at alti
tudes up to 90.000 feet.
Sperry and Nielsen set the pres
ent record (or high altitude bail-

floor apartments and helped to the

The policeman then climbed an
outside stairway leading to the
second and third floors. He broke
a window of a vacant apartment
and began rousing occupants of
the upper two floors, including a
mother and infant daughter.
Meanwhile Police Sgt. John
Murphy arrived and they found

November 1954. They were testing
methods of emergency escape
from high speed aircraft.
Nielsen said the latest plan is for
two men to go up in the gondola of
a balloon for three successive at
tempts at new altitude marks.
Three Attemps
Nielsen probably will jump out
at 64.000 feet en the first trial and
fall free to an altitude of about
15.000 feet, where his parachute
will open. His companion will ride
the gondola down to about 20,000
feet and bail out.
On the next balloon ride, the
companion will bail out at about
76.000 feet and Nielsen will ride the
balloon down for a medium alti
tude bailout.
On the third try, Nielsen plans to
step out into space at about 90,000
feet. He said he did not believe
they could go higher until they are
provided with bigger or less
weighty balloons.
The forthc o ming experiments
will be launched from Holloman
Air Force Base, N.M.
NEW YORK iff A throng of
theater and broadcasting lumin
aries jammed St. Malachy's
Church Tuesday for the funeral of
Fred Allen.
Police estimated that 1,200 per
sons, including many standees,
crowded within the church on 49th
Street near Broadway. It is known
as "the actors' church." Another
700 persons massed behind police
lines out front.
A high requiem mass was of
fered for the renowned comedian
by the Right Rev. Msgr. James B.
O'Reilly, pastor. There was no eul
ogy, but a prayer was offered that
Allen would "attain eternal' rest
and happiness."
Allen's widow, Portland Hoffa,
was escorted by Jack Haley, one
of the honorary pallbearers.
Interment will be at Gate of
Heaven Cemetery- in suburban
Westchester County at a later
date. Vesterday's severe snow
storm made immediate opening of
the grave impossible.
Allen, who was 61, died of a
heart attack early Sunday morning
after collapsing on the street while
strolling. ;

Ground -to- Air Missih Test
WASHINGTON - Son. Jack
son D-W'ash said Tuesday he will
press for a "realistic full test" to
determine which of the various
ground-to-air defense missiles is
most effective.
Jackson, a member of the sen-
ale armed services committee,
said such a test is "absolutely es
sential in view of the hundreds
of millions of dollars that have
gone into these programs."
He raised the issue at a hearing
in which James H. Douglas, Under-Secretary
of the air force, tes
tified before a senate armed serv
ices subcommittee.
Jackson said the comparative
capabilities of the Nike 'and Talos
defense missile systems must be
shown "before further millions are
pumped into either program."
Douglas agreed that the com
mittee should be given the com-

Talos is the missile system de
veloped by the air force. Nike is
an army product.
"1 think all we've done so far."
Jackson said, "is to compromise
an interscrvice rivalry. I am neith

"If Talos is better than Nike
or vice versa then we should con
centrate on the one that is proved
the better."
