The plane, commandered by
Capt. Wm. F. Stevenson, 37, of
Miami, Fla., took off at 4 p.m.

after traveling 11,400 miles in 22
hours and 31 minutes without re
fueling or landing.
The plane, a unit of the 19th
Bomb Wing at Homestead AFB,
Fla., claimed the world record for
distance flown in a “closed cir

PRINCESS GRACE WILL
NOT PLAY ROLE IN MOVIE
NICE, France — Princess
Grace of Monaco says she definitely
will not play in Alfred Hitchcock’s
film “Marnie ” She indicated she
probably has retired from the
movies permanently.
The former Grace Kelly an
nounced two months ago that she
would make her return to the
screen this summer in the Hitch
cock movie. Later the British di
rector said he had postponed the
production.
The newspaper Nice Matin, pub
! lished an interview yesterday with
Princess Grace.
“On the one hand I will not have
time and on the other I have been
definitely influenced by the re
action provoked in Monaco at the,
announcement of my participa
tion in the making of this film,”
she said.
“Sueha a ‘vacation’ devoted to
the cinema would have been amus
ing for me, but under the condition
that the Prince (her husband,
Prince Rainier) and our children
be present. That is not possible,
and I would not care to go without
them.”
HAMMER LOCK FOR
DAD ON FATHER’S DAY
NEW YORK W — Its only a
little over a week to Father’s Day
and Ben Northrup is planning to
give his dad a hammer lock for a
present, if he gets a chance.
There’s a good one that he will.
Ben and liis father, Dr. M. A.
Northrup, are both entered in the
154-pound class at the National
AAU wrest ling championships
being held at the New York
Athletic Club. The odds are very
good that they’ll meet each other
before the five-day meet is over.
Ben is 28, his father 53.
Does Ben have any plans to
take it easy on the old man if they
meet on the mat?
“I can’t afford to,” said Ben
with a smile. “First, he’s too tough,
and second, this is an elimination
tournament. You’ve got to try for
a fall against every opponent.”

X-15 PIONEERS RISKY
NEW LANDING MANEUVER
EDWARDS AIR FORCE BASE,
Calif. US) — Rocketing a mile a
second, X-15 pilot Joe Walker
swooped back to earth yesterday
on a miles-wide curve to pioneer
a risky new landing maneuver for
space craft.
It was the first time the stubby
winged Space Dart has ever de
viated far from a straight-as-an
arrow path during the main portion
of a flight.
The maneuver served to brake
the X-15’s swift descent and sub
jected it to extreme aero-dynamic
stresses and air-friction heating.
Walker hit a top speed of 3,716
mph on the way up to a peak alti
tude of 102,000 feet. He was not
trying to exceed the X-15’s rec
ords of 4,093 mph and 246,000 feet.
Walker was headed south when
he dropped away from beneath
the wing of the B-52 mothership
high above the California-Nevada
border.
Over Daggett, Calif., he swung
westward in an arc that extended
some 50 miles southeast of the 170
mile direct line between launch
point and this base.
Nearing home, he spiraled down
ward in a further speed-braking
maneuver and touched down after
an 8-minute flight.
Future space ships will need this
broad maneuverability to pick their
landing sites as they scream back
from the moon and other planets
