Hobo Jungle To Success
For Debt Ridden Inventor
LOS ANGIiLKS UPD - Dcbl-i
ridden Klmcr Meukel, 41, the in
ventor who descried his home tor
a hobo juniile to escape his credi
tors, was on the threshold ot pos
sible fame and fortune today.
An electronics firm, Polaris En
gineering Company, wanted to dis
cuss as soon as possible Meukel's
idea for a device to prevent in
flight airplane collisions.
If everything works nut, the self
educated inventor could receive as
much as $35,000 a year in royalties
for his electronics device plus a
salary as consulting engineer for
its development.
Polaris said the government had
expressed interest in spending
millions on Meukel's concept for
preventing aerial collisions if a
working prototype could be developed.

Safety Trials
ATOMIC TEST SITE, Ncv
fUPl I Atomic Energy Commiss

little more than two hours.
The seventh safety test was con
ducted at 6:19 a.m. p.s.t. with the
firing of a device held 4(o-teet
aloft by a balloon at Yucca Flats.
Two hours and five minutes
later a device, called "Colfax"
was fired at the bottom of a 5(H)

' "lii lis were piling up," he said
in explaining his decision to leave
home last June 2.1. "I guess 1 was
a mental lunk.
Before he left, Meukel had tried
to interest Polaris in his inven
tion, a device which had sent him
deep into debt to support his fam
ily as he worked on it.
Recently, executives of the en
gineering company contacted Mrs
.Meukel in hopes of finding the in

During his slay in Ihe hobo
jungle, the inventor said he gained
