Radiological Team Recovers
Third Body From Reactor
Idaho Falls, Idaho - (UPI) - A
quick moving special radiolog
ical team, following a care
fully planned and rehearsed
rescue operation, early today
recovered the third body from
the highly radioactive interior
of the SL1 reactor near here
Two bodies were removed
last Tuesday and Wednesday
following a nuclear explosion
at the Atomic Energy Com
mission's National Reactor
Testing Station west of here.
The direct recovery was ac
complished by eight men pair
ed up in quick moving relays
to avoid excessive exposure.
In all, 22 men were involved
in the recovery effort, includ

Additional AEC personnel
supported the operation. The
AEC said no two-man teams
were In the reactor building
more than 65 seconds.
First Priority
"Removal of the last body
has been a first priority ob
jective since the accident, a
commission spokesman said.
However, the high radiation
level together with the diffi
cult physical condition inside
the building greatly compli
cated the recovery effort."
The AEC said each move
ment of the hazardous under
taking had to be carefully
planned and rehearsed to as
sure the safety of the rescue
team involved. It was neces
sary to free the body, lodged
reactor building, and lower It
out of the building. To facili
late the work and make sure
the body did not fall under
the reactor, a special net was
extended from the boom of a
crane over the reactor In the
center of the building.
Before positioning the crane
and the net, it was necessary
to open the freight doors of
the reactor building and re
move a large "I" beam mono
rail. The rail was cut with an
acetylene torch from a special
lead shielded box lifted to the
top of the freight doors out
side the building by means of
the crane.
Arm holes in the side and
a lead glass window permitted
a man In the box to work with
minimal exposure during the
in the upper structure of the' 30-minute operation.

Hostages Seized
In Freedom Bid
By 32 Prisoners
Philadelphia (UPU Thirty
two long term convicts, in
cluding a slayer under death
sentence, stabbed two guards
and seized nine hostages at
Eastern State Penitentiary
Sunday night before their bid
for freedom was smashed by
tear gas-hurling state police,
Pennsylvania Commissioner
of Corrections Arthur Prasse
said that when state troopers
broke the back of the escape
attempt Anthony (Tough
Tony) Scolerl, 26, Philadel
phia, was threatening Lt. Wil
liam Rightcr, 54, a hostage
guard, with a knife. Prasse
said Scoleri's younger broth
er, Edward, also was with his
brother in a prison garaye al
the time.
The elder brother was sen
tenced to die in the electric
chair for the 1958 holdup mur
der of Max Gordon, South
Philadelphia novelty store
owner. Edward was sentenced
to life imprisonment in the
same slaying.
Suffers Superficial Wound
Kignter suffered a super
ficial wound of the right ribs.
It was not known if it was
inflicted by either of the
Scolcris. The other injured
guard was Donald Carr, who
suffered a wound in the right
shoulder.
J n e band of prisoners,
armed with cleavers- and
makeshift knives and zip
guns, held control of the hub
section of the 131-year-old
prison in downtown Philadel
phia for nearly three hours
before they broke and ran
under an assault by a "solid
phalanx" of troopers.
State police, 50 strong and
reinforced by shotgun and
sub-machine gun squads of
Philadelphia police, marched
on the rioters, hurling six tear
gas bombs as they went, and
rescued Lt. Righter and eight
other hostages.
Prasse said the Scoleris and
other convicts were attempt
ing to seize a truck and use a
rope ladder they had fashion
ed in advance to rush the 40-
foot wall 100 yards away and
attempt to scale it. He said
they planned to use Righter as
a snieid.
Inmates Jump Carr
Prasse said the break at
tempt began after a prisoner
outside his cell in Ccllblock 9
asked Carr to be admitted to
another cell to retrieve his
guitar from another prisoner.
Carr reopened the cell door
and was jumped by two men.
He broke away, not realizing
he had been stabbed or that
his keys had fallen to the
floor. His attackers took the
keys and used them to free
prisoners in Cellblocks 9, 15,
and 1. They are among 14 cell
blocks which radiate from the
hub of the prison.
Collecting convicts and hos
tage guards as they went
along, the group swelled to
32 and swept toward the ga
rage. Unable to drive off in
the truck, they herded convict
Arthur Brisco among their
hostages. State police then
broke in.
After Carr broke loose, he
went to a staff office and
alerted the prison's security
forces. The alarm alerted
Philadelphia and slate police
under an arrangement which
has been in force for several
years.

Northwest Airlines
Domestic Flights
Halted by Strike
St. Paul, Minn. (UPD North
west Airlines announced today
it will ground all its domestic
flights at the end of the day as
a result of the latest flight en
gineer walkout.
However, Northwest offic
ials said the line would begin
immediate daily jet service
across the Pacific despite the
strike.
Northwest flight engineers
who man piston planes went
on strike today, joining jet
flight engineers who walked
out three month ago.
The airlines is the nation's
sixth largest.
Arthur C. Pedersen, general
chairman of the Northwest
District Lodge 143 of the In
ternational Association of Ma
chinists, said the strike began
on schedule at 8:15 a.m.
Strike Started Oct. 11
Northwest has been hobbled
by a strike since Oct. 11 when
28 jet engineers assigned to
Northwest's DC8 jet airliners
walked off the job.
About 260 engineers are in
volved in the latest walkout.
Pedersen said today's action
resulted from the airline re
suming a Seattle to Miami jet
flight two weeks ago, using
supervisory personnel as flight
engineers.
At issue in the dispute are
higher pay and flight training
for flight engineers.
Flights which originated be
fore 8:15 a.m. were to com
plete their round trips before
being idled
Donald W. Nyrop, company
president, said the airlines re
grets the inconvenience to the
traveling public and the severe
hardship through lack of in
come to its employes because
of the strike."
Resources Being Drained
"For three months we have
made every effort to reach a
fair settlement with the engi
neers," he said. "At the same
time Northwest had watched
its resources being drained by
the partial strike.
He said the airline had no
choice but to resume its jet
service.
Pedersen, however, said the
resumption "added fuel to the
fire involving our differ
ences." The airline had offered
flight engineers $16,740 an
nually for manning the jets
over the nation, and $18,012
on international flights.
The airline also wanted the
flight engineers on the jets to
be qualified as pilots.
