Upside - Down In
Fouled Plane Leap
FT. CAMPBELL, Ky., — If
you want to know what it’s like
to look at the world upside down,
ask Pfc. Frederick Kamradt, an
18-year-old paratrooper.
He dangled head down from an
airplane for almost 10 minutes
Wednesday after he became fouled
up in parachute paraphernalia at
an altitude of 1,450 feet.
He said he'tripped over a 100
pound bag of equipment he was
carrying as he made ready to leap
through the door of the C-123 air
craft.
The next he knew, he was sus
pended at the end of the 15-foot
static line attached to a cable in
side the plane to open the chute.
The static line caught through
■his legs and left him dangling.
S/Sgt. Richard W. Collins of
Memphis, Tenn., came to his aid
after the plane had climbed to
2,500 feet. Kamradt, of East Jor
dan, Mich., resumed his descent
earthward, this time using a re
serve ’chute.
Then, about 10 miles from here,
he landed in a tree — upside down
again, dangled 10 feet above
ground until persons living near
by freed him.
Kamradt’s next jump will be
his 13th.

U. S. Will Comply With
Soviet Demand for Low
Level Flights to Berlin
WASHINGTON, UR—1The United
States has tentatively decided to
send no more high-altitude planes
to West Berlin — for the next few
weeks.
Some officials were urging yes
terday a review of this decision in
the light of a new Soviet chal
lenge. The Soviet Union disputed
again Wednesday the American
view that such flights are per
fectly legal.
Most authorities appeared ready
however, to stand by the tem
porary ban to avoid further con
troversy in advance of meetings
with the Soviet Union.
The temporary halt was de
cided upon last week jointly by
the State and Defense Depart
ments.
They took the decision mainly
because Britain’s misgivings that
further flights above the 10,000
foot level might look as if the
West was deliberately trying to
provoke an incident which might
torpedo East-West talks on the
future of Berlin and Germany.
High-flying C-130 turboprop
jets flew to West Berlin at alti
tudes of about 25,000 feet March
27 and April 15. Soviet fighters
buzzed each flight, provoking
American protests.
The new Soviet protest summed
up all Moscow’s old arguments. It
was quickly rejected by the State
Department
The Soviet note contended any
flights higher than 10,000 feet
were illegal. It claimed they were
deliberately designed to wreck
the Big Four foreign ministers
meeting beginning May 11 in
Geneva.
State Department authorities
consider high-altitude rights im
portant because the big C-130s op
erate best at 20,000 to 25,000 feet.
