THE CAPITAL jOUfeNATJ Salem, Oregon, Friday, April 26, 195T v. Crossfield Picked to Pilot 4,000 MPH Rocket Ship X15 May Be First to Fly 4,000 MPH By HERBERT D. WILHOIT LOS ANGELES uB-A pUot who looks more like a banker than a pace man may be the first human to fly 4,000 m.p.h. Scott Crossficld, 35, was named yesterday to pilot the rocket-pow ered North American X15 on its maiden flight next year. Almost anybody would take this conservatively dressed. 150-pound family man for a quietly confident businessman or an aeronautical engineer, which he is. He is the man who first flew twice the speed of sound 1,327 m.p.h. in the Douglas Skyrocket in November 1953 and he is the man who may pilot the X15 higher and faster than any other manned aircraft. The Pentagon In Washington has said the X1S may achieve such unbelievable marks as 4,000 m.p.h. and 200,000 feet altitude. "This is my business, my life work," Crossfield said matter-of- factly when newsmen asked how he felt about approaching this project. "The X1S is a flying research laboratory. It is simply an exten (ion of the designs and accom plishments of the XI, X2 and X3 series. "There is no concept that re quires a superhuman to fly this aircraft. There is no extreme re quirement on the pilot. I will re quire no 'training as sucn. I am living with this aircraft, from the concept through the drawing boards, the mockup, the actual construction, the testing and, fin ally, the flight. . "This thing will not be a piece of. cake, of course. But the whole project is developed step by step so that there will be no unknown phenomena. Many of Crossficld's own ideas are being engineered into the X15. It', is being fabricated by North American and ils liquid propel lant rocket engine will he built by Reaction Tors, Inc., Denville, N.J. Nearly all of its details are security-secret. , Presumably it will be dropped from a mother plane over Ed wards Air Force Base, Calif., as were the XI and X2 research speedsters which ran the records up to better than 2,200 m.p.h. and 90,000 feet altitude. "Froni ' the pilot's standpoint," Crossfield said, "we arc not re stricted lo your theoretical 4,000 m.p.h. and 200,000 feet. Mechanic ally, we can put a pilot at any altitude and speed we want," He said he was permitted lo dis close that the X1S will have "bet tor emergency (bailout) provisions for the pilot lhan any previous rocket aircrall." Asked what his wife thouchl about the X15 project, Crossfield laughed and said: "1 never asked her,". . ' r f ' Unacceptable, Israel Terms Suez Formula JERUSALEM Ul A Foreign Ministry official said Friday the new Egyptian Suez plan is unac ceptable to Israel. He said freedom of passage through the canal is vital to Is rael and "we shall vigilantly pur sue the securing of this inalien able right." The spokesman reiterated that Israel intends to try to send a test ship through Suez but that it is a question of timing. He said Israel has no Intention of sending a test ship before details of oper ating the waterway are clarified or while negotiations were under way. 92,000-FEET TEST Balloon Preview of High Bailout Slated By WILLIAM B. HARWOOD BALTIMORE uB A preview of the Air Force's next high-altitude bailout attempt will be staged next week at New Brighton, Minn., with a balloon flight to 92,000 feet. . But instead of men, the gondola will carry a manikin whose joints are made to simulate the joints of the human skeleton. If next week's test is successful, the gondola will be manned for actual bailout, experiments this summer at the Air Research and Development Command's Alama gordo, N.M., development center. The current bailout altitude rec ord is 45,200 feet. For the unmanned test, a giant plastic balloon will raise the gon dola to the test altitude more than 16 miles up. At 92,000 feet, the balloon will be cut loose and a 14-foot stabi lization chute will open on the gondola. This will not slow its descent to any appreciable extent at that high altitude and the gon dola will free fall together to 20, 000 feet. At that altitude, the strapped-down passenger will cut loose the small chute and a 64 foot cargo parachute will open on the gondola. Since the dummy can't do it, these two actions will Scouts Display Skills PORTLAND UB Boy Scouts will hold their annual Krafsho at the Pacific International Live stock Pavilion here Friday night and Saturday. Some 10,000 Scouts will fill 340 booths with demonstrations of scouting skills. be performed automatically by present mechanisms in next week s tests. After the New Brighton test flight, the gondola will be trans ported to the Wright Air Devel opment Center, Dayton, Ohio, where four volunteers for the sum mer tests will simulate the ascent and subsequent descent in an alti tude chamber. They will try for a maximum altitude of 92,000 feet. The four volunteers are Capt. Harry P. Nielson. project officer: Capt. Harry Collins,-1st Lt. Austin w. turner and M.Sgt. George A, Post, all members of WADC's Aero Medical Laboratory. Red China Won't Ban Rival Parties HONG KONG I Red China Friday promised its non-Communist parties they would be able to continue in existence "for a very long time." The "long-term coexistence of all democratic parties in China is a fundamental policy of the Chi nese Communist Party, not a tem porary expedient," said the offi cial Peiping Peoples' Daily in a policy statement. Israel to Free Spy JERUSALEM Ul Israeli authorities said Friday Mary Frances Hagan, 29, of Hunting ton, W.Va., will be released from prison Sunday and will leave im mediately for the United Mates She was convicted last October of spying for Syria and sentenced to one year in prison.
