Jump Instructor Slides
Down Static Line to Free
Dangling Parachutist
PARIS, Ont, MV—A young stu
dent parachute jumper dangling
helplessly at the end of a thin
line 3,200 feet above the ground
was rescue by an instructor who
slid down and opened his para
chute for him.
George Van Roosmalen, 21,
making his fourth jump with a
local jumping club Sunday, be
came entangled in the line hang
ing from the plane from which he
jumped. It wrapped his right arm
tightly against his body and pre
vented him from pulling his rip
cord.
The instructor, Alfred Coxall,
33, first started to cut the line
Then, realizing the man’s arm
was useless because the circula
tion had been cut off, he slid
down.
The line snapped from the
added weight just as he reached
the other man, whose rip cord he
managed to pull as they fell to
gether. He waited a few seconds
to get clear, then opened his own
parachute. Both landed safely.
Blind Woman Uses Bomb for Prop
BRISTOL, England, tW—A blind
woman has learned she has been
propping up a leg of her work
bench for eight years with a live
bomb. She had tied the bomb to
the leg of the table in Bristol’s
workshop for the blind. A work
er who had been a World War II
bomb expert spotted it while he
was working on a rebuilding proj
ect. Workshop officials said the
bomb must have been brought in
with pieces of knitting machinery.

Sea Lions Defy
Man’s Attempts
At Extermination
SACRAMENTO, Calif., MV-Sea
lions are seals with ears, beady
eyes and whiskers. They lie on
rocks off the California coast and
honk.
They are divided into bulls,
cows and pups. They eat fish and
squid.
Sometimes they gobble ancho
vies, perch, white croakers and
stingrays, then regurgitate them.
Sometimes they don’t eat a
thing for six months.
Sea lions are crosses between
schooms and schmoes. Alive, they
amuse tourists and make children
laugh in zoos and circuses.
Dead, they’re not worth a thing.
■ There was a time, before elec
tricity, when they could be melt
I ed down into oil for lamps.
Sea lions are hard to kill. Dur
; ing World War II, soldiers shot
I cannons at the off-coast rocks for
j artillery practice, but it didn’t re
. duce the sea lion population at all.
I In fact in 50 years, the numbe
1 of sea lions off California’s coast
hasn’t changed much.
! Sea lions are smarter than they
look. Fishermen — who try to
shoot them because they foul up
their nets—say the critters seem
able to move just out of range.
I Some fisherman groups have
demanded that the state kill off
the sea lions on grounds that they
are eating salmon and other com
mercially valuable fish.
Deputy director Harry Ander
son of the state fish and game de
partment says there’s no evidence
that sea lions eat salmon. Further
more he says the cost of killing
the beasts is prohibitive.
He reports that past efforts to
eliminate the sea lions have
failed Machine guns wound many
but kill few. Depth charges miss
the sea lions, but kill the fish.
Anderson is afraid to try che
mical, biological or radiological
warfare, or mining the rookeries
with fragmentation explosives.
Anderson’s conclusions about
what should be done with the sea
lions: Nothing.
