PARACHUTE FAILS TO OPEN WHEN MEN CUT FREE
Balloon gondola crash injures pair
ASHLAND, Wl«. (AP) — The
crash of a training balloon gondo-
la Wednesday night injured a bal-
ldon builder and an Air Force re-
searcher who was preparing for a
solo flight to test man’s reaction
to isolation in space. The test wasl
postponed. J.
Capt. Grover Sehock, 32, and
Otto C. Winien, 40, suffered ex-
tensive injuries when their open
gondola plunged 100 or more feet
to the earth after they cut loose
from the balloon as it headed out
over Lake Superior. They appar-
ently released the ball-shaped gon-
dola rather than be blown over the
water in darkness. They smashed
into a pasture half a mile inland
when the gondola’s parachute
failed to open.
19 Texas cities
slated to share
in CAA monies
WASHINGTON (AP)—Nineteen
Texas cities would share in plans
of the Civil Aeronautics Adminis-
tration for a 175-million-dollar ex-
pansion of air navigation And traf-
fic control facilities.
The program, unveiled yester-
day, calls for $7,061,494 to be
spent in Texas during the fiscal
yedr which started July 1.
Key units in the plan are long-
range radar units costing $1,716,-
000 each at Goshen, Ind., Nash-
ville, Tenn., Orlando, Fla., and
Paso Robles, Calif. These will
serve air route traffic control
centers in Chicago, Memphis, Mi-
ami, Lop Angeles and Phoenix.
Eleven existing or scheduled
military radar units, at an aver-
age cost of $1,080,000 will permit
microwave relay of information
from the military radar sites to
CAA air route traffic control cen-
ters.
Serving the Fort Worth CAA
center will be military radars at
Oklahoma City and Shreveport.
CAA control towers at Amarillo,
Brownsville and Corpus Christi.
are among 19 at which powerful
airport surveillance radar will be
installed to keep watch on traffic
in a huge circle around major
airports. These cost $709,270 r.n
the average.
Abilene, Corpus Christi, San
Angelo and Wichita Falls are
among 19 new locations for in-
stallation of instrument landing
systems, at an average cost of
$108,421. •
A new traffic control tower,
costing around $112,100, is provid-
ed for Plainview, Tex., and nine
other cities. Somerset and Vic-
toria, Tex., are among 26 sites
for new $280,000 short-range navi-
gation systems called vortac.
The CAA, at an average cost
of $208,000 each, will eombine 150
existing omnirange navigaiional
units, called Vors, with military-
developed Tacan (tacitical air
navigation) units to make Vortac
systems. Texas sites for these in-
stallations are Abilene, Alice, Gal-
veston, Junction, Leona, Salt Flat,
Palacios, San Angelo and Wink.
Argentina occupies
tiny disputed isle
BUENOS AIRES (AP) —Argen-
tina has occupied a tiny island
near Cape Horn, deeplening a dis-
pute while Chile.
Chile's armed forces were re-
portedly ordered into a state of
readiness.
An Argentine naval officer said
28 marines had landed on Snipe
Island last Saturday from a de-
stroyer.
The marines dismantled a light-
house being built by Chile and re-
turned to the destroyer. Chile pro-
tested Sunday. Apparently the Ar-
gentine detachment put ashore to
prevent a Chilean counterstroke.
Eddie Southern nips
jinx, outruns Davis
DALLAS — Eddie South-
ern, the University of Texas track
star, thinks he’s on his way to
erasing a jinx.
Southern, returning home yes-
terday from a tour with the Amer-
ican track and field team in Eu-
rope, had finally beaten Glenn
Davis, the Ohio State star, who
was Southern’s personal nemesis.
It was at Athens, Greece, Sat-
urday that Southern triumphed
over Davis in the 400-meters. It
was the first time for Davis ever
to be defeated in this race.
“He was sick when I beat him
but that victory is a start for me,’
said Southern. “I believe I have
an edge now. I'll make a clean
start next year.”
Davis’ mastery had extended
back to June, 1956. In the Olympic
games Davis beat Southern in the
400-meter hurdles.
Southern will be married here
Aug. 30 to Beverly Durnal.
