dented trip in a small gondola below a 200-foot round heliam-ftUed balloon. Simons said it “might have been shattering" if his radio communications to earth had failed during the flight. The space adventurer said he took off his earphones several times and the “silence was like nobody ever experiences on earth." He said in that “definitely unfriendly realm there was absolute silence.” Asked if he I felt any spiritual experiences while viewing the heavens, Simons replied: “I consecrated myself to pushing back the frontiers of science in making the flight, and I felt that I was doing that." Others at the press conference were Otto Winzen, head of the firm that manufactured the balloon, and Cot. John Stapp, medical

director of the project, who reported Simone “checked out quite adequately’’ in his post - flight medical tests. Simons said he "never experienced panic" during the marathon flight, but had '.’some moments of concern” when his descent was hampered by a bank of thunderclouds at an altitude of 15 miles. He said the clouds formed at sunset and still were below him Tuesday morning when -Simons had planned to descend. “It was decided to let me remain up a while longer," he said, “and because I could see such vast distances, I spotted an opening in the clouds to the west." Simons said he drifted to the open spot to the west and started his trip to earth. The clouds, meanwhile, began clearing. Winzen said the unscheduled appearance of the thunderclouds showed that "man under present situations and with present equipment is not able to forecast Weather accurately from the ground.” "We could get better weather forecasts if there was some kind of floating platform above the earth where a man 1 could see what was happening minute by mjnute as the storm built up," he said.

Urges Eisenhower Take Flu Vaccine Surgeon General Repeats Request WASHINGTON (UP) — Surgeon General Leroy E. Burney today urged for the second day in a row that President Eisenhower be inoculated promptly against Asiatic flu. .. Burney repeated the recommendation in the face of the President’s statement that he would get a shot of Asiatic flu vaccine as soon as ti becomes available to “ordinary people” such as himself. . . ' "The President of our country should receive an inoculation very promptly.” Burney said. “Eventually we would like everyone to get one as quickly as vaccine becomes available. BuT some is already available and the safeguarding of the President’s health is vitally important. Burney said he discussed his recommendation Wednesday with Dr. Howard McC. Snyder, the President’s physician. He said Snyder “very definitely agreed with me" The Public Health Service so far has approved release of only 502,000 Shots of Asiatic flu vaccine for distribution through normal channels. A limited number of shots already have been given in various parts of the country—particularly to doctors, nurses and other persons in key jobs. A PHS spokesman said if the President agreed to be inoculated Snyder would have no difficulty in obtaining a shot of vaccine either from civilian or military sources.
