two Air Force Officers
Will Make Record Jumps
Washington Two Air Force
officers are planning to test air
craft escape equipment soon in
one of the most daring research
projects in aviation history.
Scientists are now trying to
develop a stabilized seat that
can "be ejected from high-flying
jet planes. To do this they need
to know the answer to a vital
ouestion: How far can man safe
ly drop through rarefied air be
fore-he opens his paracnute;
To help get the answer Capt,
Edward G. Sperry and 1st Lt
Henry P. Nielsen are preparing
iumns from perhaps record
hpizhts. Allan C Fisher Jr.,
points out.
Six Balloon Flights
In an article entitled "Avia
tion Medicine on the Threshold
of Space? Fisher writes that
-the officers are getting set for
..Kiv halloon fliehts ranging up
, to 90,000 feet the highest alti
tude yet attained by man or
possibly even farther.
At the peak of each ascent
, one of the men will jump. Warm
clothing and a pressure suit
will protect him against the
-thin subzero atmosphere. His
parachute will open in the safe
- lower layers of air.
Meanwhile the other partner,
cutting the balloon adrift, will
ride the gondola, guided by a
" small stabilizing parachute,
down to an altitude of about
20,000 feet. Then he, too, will
bail out. A special parachute
will ease gondola and instru
ments to earth. Q
The gondola has been named
Explorer HI in honor of the
balloon Explorer II which set
a 72,239-foot record in 1935 dur
ing an ascent sponsored by the
National Geographic 1 Society
and the Army Air' Corps.
Sperry and Nielsen intend to
take off at Holloman Air Force
Base, N. Mex. They already
jointly hold the world's altitude
record for ejection, 45,200 feet.
Service doctors face other
problems: the effect of cosmic
rays upon tissue, high-intensity
noise, design of oxygen equip
ment and pressure suits, and
"ss the phenomenon of weigh tless
3 ness that shows up when gravity
balances centrifugal , force as a
pilot flies a high-speed arc.
Lt. Col. John P. Stapp, one
such Air Force physician, has
risked his. life repeatedly , to
study the effects of rapid hum
an deceleration. Riding a rocket
powered sled along the ground
at more than 600 miles an hour,
he braked it to a stop in little
more than ag second.

I felt like a fly riding the
nose of a .45-caliber bullet,"
he says. ''And the wind blast
was like having my head caught
in a vise . . . When the sled
started, I was watching the
ditch, between the rails. Almost
instantly the ditch was nothing
but a blur, and then I- blacked
out after two and a half to
three seconds."
Black changed to yellow, then
a salmon tint. He pushed his
eyelids up with his fingers.
Gradually vision returned.
In seeking to- solve high alti
tude problems, scientists are ask
ed why they, don't dispense with
pilots altogether, making every
thing automatic. To this one top
engineering official replies:
"The pilot is still the finest
emergency-control system ever
devised. . . . Outside of their
prescribed performance, auto
matic systems are helpless, and
it is then that the human brain
shows the vast superiority given
by its Creator." . '
Black Fashionable in
All Shoes for Men
Black is the hot news in men's
shoe fashions. And' not only in
conventional 5 and 6-eyelet town
oxfords, but in shoes in all
categories and for all ages.
Tassel mocs lead the way with
the smart younger set. They
liked the style, and they liked it
particularly in polished black.
Of course the trend toward
dark campus and town clothes
had something to do with it.
The off-blacks, charcoal greys
and browns which became prac
tically a uniform country-wide
focused attention on black shoes
which proved to be adapted to
a wide variety of styles.
So we have the black slip-ons,
worn for country, campus or
town. We have one and two-eyelets
which have a new look in
black. We have the new three-
eyelet, a comer with the younger
set, and the conventional five
and six-eyelet oxfords for the
conservative business man.
Polished leathers, supple calf
skins are in the lead. But the
new finer grain, cashmere-soft
leathers take a fine polish, ap
peal to the younger man who ap
proves of the new dress look in
clothes and accessories for every
thing from casual to town wear.
There are some black suedes,
often with cushion soles for
casual or campus use. And also
combinations of black suede and
alligator for town.
Peron Interned
In Central Paraguay
Asuncion, Para'guay (U.R)
The Asuncion government today
ordered ousted Argentine dicta
tor Juan D. Peron -interned in
the city of Villa Rica in Central
Paraguay.
Peron has been living in Asun
cion, just across tne .Paraguay
river from Argentina, since he
fled into exile Oct. 2.
But, after he gave an exclu
sive interview to the United
Press in which he asserted he still
was constitutional President of
Argentina, the Buenos Aires gov
ernment demanded that he be
sent outside the American conti
nent.
However, Paraguay said what
it did with a refugee to which
it had granted political asylum
was its business.
Accepting this view, Argen
tina then asked yesterday that
Peron be interned at a "consid
erable distance from the border"
between the two countries.
Paraguay decided to act "with
out delay" to transfer Peron
from Asuncion,

Oil Strike Reported
Heletez, Israel (U.R) Author
ities today announced a new oil
strike in the Negev Desert near
here and said it was "at least
twice as deep" as the well
brought in last month.
The new layer of oil-bearing
sand was found some 100 to 120
feet below the first strike. It
was not known whether the two
deposits were connected.
Drilling continued throughout
last week to find out what lay
below the first oil bearing sta
tum discovered at the end of Sep
tember. A few days ago instru
ments indicated another layer of
oil bearing sand had been readied.
Tammany Leader Heads for West Coast
New York (U.R) Tammany
Hall Democratic leader Carmine
de Sapio left today for San Fran
cisco in a flurry of political
speculation that he's off to line
up West Coast support for the
presidential aspirations of New
York Gov. Averell Harriman.
De Sapio was scheduled to
speak tonight at non-political
Columbus Day dinner in San
Francisco but said it was "only
natural" . that politics would be
discussed in his meetings with
West Coast Democratics leaders.
"In these discussions I will
not say anything which, even
by inference, could be construed
as discrediting any possible can
didate," he said.'
De Sapio said he was not op
posed to the Democratic presi
dential nomination going to
Adlai E. Stevenson or any other
candidate but emphasized it is
not possible to tell now which
candidate will be the strongest
at convention time.
PLANE ACCIDENT
Rockland, Me. (U.R) Po
lice here investigated what they
said was a hit-and-run accident
involving a seaplane and, ap
parently, a boat trailer. Hugo
Lehtinen left his seaplane pull
ed up on the beach and returned
to find a hole punched in t h e
side. Police said there were in
dications someone hauling a boat
in a trailer along the beach side
swiped the plane.

Rain Dampens Legion Conclave
By UNITED PRESS
Rain put a damper on the
American Legion convention in
Miami and advanced across the
Midwest on the leading edge of
a cool front. .
The Legion's mammoth annual
parade was delayed four hours at
Miami yesterday when rain came
rolling in off the ocean. Many
of the 41 floats and 100 musical
units looked a little water-logged
when the six-hour march finally
got underway.
BONES AND JOINTS
Each foot has 26 bones, for a
total of 52. That's one-fourth of
all the 208 bones in the human
body. The foot also has 137
joints. ' . - i . -
In the nation's midsection, the
rains brought temperatures 10 to
25 degrees lower in the N6rthern
Plains and portions of the Cen
tral Plains. However, it was still
unseasonably warm in the Rock
ies, where the temperature kit

In Japan, meanwhile, typhoon
Nora caused at least four deaths
and, flooded lowlands in the'
Tokyo area. The storm carried
vicious winds and torrential
rains, injuring at least nine per
