Mr.. Norblad, member of the

tragedy stemmed from the acts

House ceremony today to 80 Army
and Air Force pilots who re-
covered bodies and wreckage
after the June 80 Grand Cayon

The awards were presented on
behalf of President Eisenhower
by his Army aide, Col. Robert l..
Schulz and his Air Force aide,
Col. William G. Draper.
A citation read at the cere-
mony on the south White House
lawn said that with skill and
daring seldom matched in time
of peace these pilots made re-
|peated trips 4. into the narrow
depths of the canyon, at times
landing on areas not much larger
than the helicopter ITSELF" The
citation added:
"As a result Of these efforts
at the obvious risk of their own
lives, these officers recovered the
remains of the victims of the
crash and brought out evidence
which will enable the develop
ment of procedures and stand
ards which will save many lives
in the future"

Hall was shot in the hip. and he
was kept for a time in the State
