Arrested For Leap
From Bridge
SAN FRANCISCO, (£*) — Red
bearded Robert L. Niles, defying
a judge’s warning, Friday became
the secpnd person officially to sur
vive a plunge from Golden Gate
bridge.
But his jump put the 22-year-old
Oakland, Calif., stunt man in
trouble with the law.
For his 243-foot descent into the
fast current at the entrance to San
Francisco Bay, Niles used a quick
action parachute and 50 feet of
rope.
Tying the rope to the rail, he
slid down, cleared the girders of
the bridge and let the ’chute do
the rest, he said. It opened at 200
feet. Witnesses aboard the power
cruiser which picked him up said
Niles went only about a foot and
a half under the surface of the
*
water.
Police arrested him shortly af
ter he climbed aboard the cruiser.
He was booked on charges of dis
turbing the peace and committing
a public nuisance and lodged in
the city jail. Five hours later,
Frank Vogel, San Francisco auto
dealer, posted SI25 bail and Niles
was released.
Archbishop
^Silences”
Catholic Priest
BOSTON, (/P)—A Jesuit educa
tor charged yesterday that he had
been “silenced” by Roman Catho
lic Archbishop Richard J. Cushing
of Boston because “I believe there
is no salvation outside the Catho
lic Church . . , and Archbishop
Cushing believes there is.”
The Rev. Leonard Feeney, S.J.,
denounced as “invalid” and "bru
tal” the action of Archbishop
Bushing in depriving him of his
priestly functions for “grave of
fenses against the general laws of
the Catholic Church.”
Fr. Feeney has supported the
position of three Boston college
lay instructors and a Boston col
lege high school teacher who
charged Boston college authorities
with “heresy.” The accused col
lege authorities of teaching that
salvation was possible outside the
Catholic church and without sub
mission to the Pope.
The teachers announced an ap
peal to the Pope, but from the
Vatican came word that the issue
was being returned to the Boston
archbishop for jurisdiction. The
teachers say they are seeking a
pronouncement directly from Pope
Pius XII.
The archbishop revealed Mon
day night that he had withdrawn
all priestly and teaching func
tions from Fr. Feeney.
