About Becoming Roman
Catholic Priest

Roosevelt’s 14-year-old son —
grandson of Franklin D. Roose
velt—says he is seriously thinking
of becoming a Roman Catholic
priest.
James Roosevelt Jr. said Friday,
“My pastor and I have had sev
eral talks about this and think
it best that I finish high school
and then enter a seminary if I
still feel the way I do now.”
His father, Rep. James Roose
velt (D-Califi, was quoted as say
ing, “He’s got seven more years
of school ahead of him, including
college. If he wants to go ahead
then I certainly wouldn't discour
age him.”
James Jr. lives here with his
mother, the former Romelle
Schneider, the congressman’s sec
ond wife. They were divorced in
1955. Roosevelt’s three children
by this marriage, like their mo
ther, are Catholics.

Huge. Mysterious Balloon
Lands in Washington State
WATERVILLE. Wash.. <P — A
huge plastic balloon that floated
over western Washington Friday
came down on a ranch near here
and had authorities puzzled over
its origin.
Officers of Larson Air Force
Base in Moses Lake, Wash., said
they assumed it was a weather
balloon.
A sheriff’s deputy said the only
identification he could find was a
three-foot round aluminum disc
marked “Alcoa” — the abbrevia
tion for Aluminum Co. of Amer
ica. The bag was said to have a
double thickness of clear plastic,
and weighed an estimated 1,500
pounds.
An Air Force pilot from Mc
Chord Air Force Base flew up to
53,000 feet to take a look and :
reported the balloon “was the big
gest thing I've ever seen in the
sky.” But he couldn't make out
any marking on it or figure out
what it was.
One theory, without official
confirmation, was that the balloon
might be one which the Navy
launched June 19 in Georgia. This
balloon, 40 stories high, was de
signed to measure cosmic rays. It
disappeared 12 days ago about 800
miles off the California coast.

It Happenri on the Freeway
LOS ANGELES, (41 —Motorists
on Los Angeles freeways are no
toriously hard to surprise.
But even those who thought
they’d seen everything got a start
Friday from Ken Baird: He land
ed his light plane neatly on the
outbound lanes of the Golden
State Freeway, without touching
wingtip to fender. He had accu
rately matched his 60 mph land
ing speed to the flow of rush
hour auto traffic.
Baird, 46, of Burbank, said he
was forced down by a broken
piston.
To keep from blocking traffic,
Baird taxied 500 feet to the shel
ter of a paved shoulder. Then a
passing motorist halted, attached
a rope, and towed the plane two
miles to the nearest offramp.
