Urge Ban On
Olympic Champions
From Future Games
CHICAGO Uto — Banning Olym
pic champions from future games
has been suggested by President
Avery Brundage of the Interna
tional Olympic Committee as an
aid to competition.
Brundage said that such a res
triction might open the games to
more people and lessen the
chances of athletes “making a
career out of sports.”
The proposal, along with others
ahned at protecting the amateur
status of the games and reducing
their size, Brundage said, will be
discussed at “an extremely im
portant" meeting of the commit
tee in Athens next June.
“We have been talking about
doing something about amateur
ism for a long time, but this time
we will act,” said Brundage, long
time champion of Simon-Pure
Athletics. He did not disclose the
other proposals.
The 1964 games will be held in
Tokyo, with the Winter Olympics
that year in Innsbruck, Austria.
U. S. Retrives Maii-in-Space Capsule
After 4,000-Mile-au-Hour Rocket Ride
By Howard Benedict
CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. UPi —
A U. S. man-in-space capsule was
returned here Tuesday after a
successful 16-minute, 4,000-mile
an hour rocket ride. Scientists be
gan examination to determine
how well it survived the flight.
If the study shows that the
one-ton space craft came through
Monday’s jarring trip as planned,
the United States will have taken
a big step toward launching a
man on a short space ride, pos
sibly within four months.
A helicopter transferred the
bell-shaped space chamber to the
Cape from the aircraft carrier
Valley Forge which steamed with
in a few hundred yards of this
test center.
The helicopter was the same
which plucked the capsule from
the water 235 miles down range
and deposited it on the flight
deck of the Valley Forge.
Newsmen were given a close
look at the capsule, which ap
peared to have sustained little

damage from the Redstone-Boost
er Rocket trip that took it 135
miles into space.
The white letters “United
States” on the side of the capsule
were slightly scorched by the
600-degree heat which built up on
the surface during re-entry to
the earth’s atmosphere and one of
the three panes of glass on a
small side porthole was broken.
Otherwise, officials said it was
in excellent condition.
A bright flashing light designed
to aid recovery still winked atop
the nine-foot-tall chamber.
An 83-foot Redstone missile
boosted the space chamber aloft.
A parachute eased its descent.
After officials of the National
Aeronautics and Space Adminis
tration give the capsule a
thorough going over, it will be
sent to McDonnell Aircraft Corp.,
St. Louis, Mo., for additional
study. McDonnell made the cap

Safety Demonstration
ANCHORAGE Oft — The 5040th
Air Base Wing Safety office at
Elmendorf Air Force Base has
had to postpone a scheduled win
ter driving safety demonstration
because of the lack of snow.
The demonstration was to have
been one of several projects con
ducted by the office with the ob
jective of reducing the number of
vehicle accidents during the win
ter on the base.
Safety officials are hopeful the
demonstration can be given be
fore the winter’s end.
This area has had several light
snowfalls, but rain and mild
weather about two weeks ago has
left the ground almost barren of
snow.

Scoring six points to the High

to take advantage of percentage
shots. A well-balanced scoring at
tack for the Nanooks was led by
Ronnie Locke and Bill Oman who
racked up 10 points apiece. Har
old Bell, hitting four long set
shots, and Korky Kost, were high
for the Guard with 8 apiece.
