Of those basic jump fears and how the
course overcomeS them in holding a

Fear Of heights and falling: "A
student first learns to execute the
seven jump commands, counting and
gaining pre-jump balance and then
leaping from a foot-and-a-half- high
mock (planeI door and counting. He
gets used to heights by jumping in a
chute harness attached to a cable
from 34-foot tower. Later, he makes
free chute jumps from a 250-foot
tower"
Fear Of landing injury: "A trainee
does landing falls from and 4-foot
platforms into sawdust pits. He
learns to hit on the f1eshy portions
of the body-ballS of the feet, calf of
leg. thighs, buttockS and push-up
muscles. Also. swing landing trainer

Fear of helplessneSS in the air: "A
training aid called the suspended
harness teaches directional control by
pulling on the four riserS"
Fear of being dragged on the
ground: IF a man is caught by a
gust of wind, his canopy becomes like
a runaway horse, dragging him
through the dust He learns how to
get to his feet with a wind machine
gushing up to IS miles an hour"
Combating fear with confidence:
"A student gains confidence by work

in equipment through numerous pre-
jump safety checks and has a chute
packed for him before his first Jump
to show why it has to open. An in
tense athletic program builds stamina
and alertness. enabling him to cope
with training that is 80 per cent
physical exertion. Finally, continual
repetition of jump techniques and
correcting the slightest fault assures
man he can jump safely even if
blindfolded."
It's a known fact, pSychiatrists point
out, that, as a man grows older in
wisdom and his physical reactions
slow up, he often fears jumping from
high places more than his younger,
more carefree colleagues. Yet older
men do jump regularly at Fort Ben
ming. One gray-haired brigadier
general who recently took the para
trooper course laughed and said, in
an aside after his first plane leap: 81
was Scared-don't know how I ever
got up nerve to do it," He qualified.
And there's no better way, para
troopers feel, to overcome that fear
OF jumping than good old esprit de

which the Soviet Union has
taken a leading part during
the last 20 years.
The pole of inaccessibility,
by the way, should be the
coolest spot on earth. 1t prob
ably is many degrees colder
than the south pole itself.
The Soviet Union never has
made any territorial claims on
the great southern continent.
but it has a very strong his
toric interest. Russians missed
the discovery by u hairs
breadth in 1921. At that time
a Russian exploring expedition
commanded by Admiral Bel
lingshausen had entered the
sea of phantasms south of
Palmer Land. which now bears
his name. The ships had been
turned back by storms and ice.
At this time the Russianr
rescued an 18-year-old Ameri-
can scout for sealing fleet,
Nathaniel Palmer, who told
Bellingshausen a fantastic
story Of having sighted land.
After close questioning, how
ever, the admiral became con-
WINGED the boy was telling the
truth and offered to back up
his story.
Palmer Got Credit
So the actual discovery OF
the Antarctic continent gener-
ally is attributed to Palmer.
For years this rested only on
his word. A few years ago the
Soviet government published
Bellingshausen's diary, rescued
from the Navy archives, in
which the boys claim was en-
tirely confirmed.
1t never, however, has been
entirely accepted. On all Brit
ish maps to this day the north
ern extension of Antarctica
towards South America is re-
ferred to as Graham Land,
instead of Palmer Land. Ora
ham was Secretary Of the
British Admiralty at the time,
when the discovery of Ant
arctica might with some JUS
tice have been attributed to
another seal feet scout.
For many years Russia laid
claim to two large islands,
Peter the First and Alexander
the First, unquestionably dis
covered by Bellingshausen.
These claims. however, long
have been abandoned and no
effort, so far as is known, has
been made to reassert them.
Norway now claims sovereignty
over them. They may have
some significance in relation
to sealing operations.
1t is worthy Of note that no
ship ever has reached the
shores Of Bellingshausen's Sea,
or of the Amundsen Sea which
lies just to the south. The
area bordered by both seas is
unclaimed by anybody. What
ever exploration has been done
there has been by Americans
and it generally is included in
the vague territory, Marie Byrd
Land.

BILE taxpayer (taxes paid not
from any Of Arlington's we'll

a few questions regarding the
vandalism at the Page Ele-

Do today's parents have any
sense Of responsibility what
soever for crimes committed
by their children that result
IN heavy financial and other
hardships to decent, law-abid-
ing, responsible citizens?
Do our legislators aim to
pass laws that would protect
the natural rights Of good peo-
pie. or do they Intentionally
or blindly encourage juvenile
and adult crime by legalizing
anonymity Of youthful GRIM
inals and by forcing the inno-
cent to suffer the consequences
Of such crimes?
Are the people who receive
the least benefit from their
taxes and who cause the
smallest percentage Of the cost
Of State and local govern
ment so stupid or so discour-
aged that they make no pro-
test?
