X-15 ROCKET SOARS
47 MILES INTO SPACE
EDWARDS AIR FORCE BASE,
Calif, W — The X-15 rocketed
more than 47 miles into space
yesterday, achieving its designed
altitude maximum and setting a
new altitude mark in the process.
Air Force Maj. Robert White,
holder of the X-15 speed record
of 4,093 miles an hour, was at the
controls. ,
His altitude was given as
250,000 feet — precisely what he
aimed for. His speed was approxi
mately 3,682 mph.
• On a similar mission by Space
Agency pilot Joe Walker last April
the X-15 fell a little short, hitting
only 246,700 feet. In future flights,
with the engine burning longer, it
is expected to soar beyond 300,000
feet.
At the peak of his flight, White
radioed: “Boy, what a view. Just
tremendous.” He was able to see
for hundreds of miles.

BECK KEEPS IN STRIDE
WITH OTHER PRISONERS
TACOMA W — Millionaire Dave
Beck, who left home Wednesday
in a limousine, rolled from an iron
cot in a cell at McNeil Island
federal prison at 6:30 am. yester
day.
Half an hour later he was in a
breakfast line with other new ar
rivals.
“I don’t know whether he ate
or not,” said Warden Paul Madi
gan. “That’s his business. All I
knGw is, he was there on time.”
Beck, accustomed to luxury, has
not been known as an enthusiastic
breakfast eater, even under the
best circumstances.
The former head of the Team
sters Union surrendered 'himself
Wednesday and began serving a
five-year term for causing prepa
ration of fraudulent tax returns
for a union building fund.
For the next few days the 68
year-old Beck will be in “ad
mission and orientation” routine
at the prison on an island near
here in Puget Sound. He was
scheduled for a physical examina
tion and an interview with a case
worker.
“Beck probably is a farm type,”
Madigan said. He may be assigned
to the prison’s 50-acre farm, where
inmates live in a dormitory and
work with fruit, vegetables, the
dairy herd or hogs.
At McNeil, Beck’s $50,OOO-a-year
union pension and his income
from extensive business opera
tions won’t be needed. He will be
allowed to spend up to $15 a
month in the commissary for such
items as toilet articles, candy or
ice cream.
He won’t be able to carry the
money around, though. The amount
he spends will be deducted from
the books showing how much he
has on deposit. •
i Madigan said he doesn’t expect
Beck to ask for any special pri
[ vileges, adding they would be de
nied if he did.
i The warden’s initial assessment:
I ~
j trw uuun «1C« STCIJUSt m good
shape.”
. Law may not be more important
than health, but by a recent count
lawyers outnumbered physicians
in the United States by 286,003
to 256,lgg. _
