BY a star STAFF Writer

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla.
July II. - Capt. Virgil Ivan
Grissom. named today to pilot
the Mercury capsules second
manned flight, is a round
faced, sleepy-eyed man.
Everybody calls him Gus"
because he's that kind of a guy.
The 35-year-old astronaut
looks like the man next door
he's 5 feet Z inches tall, weighs
$50 pounds and has brown hair
Just a few years ago, he was
the kid in Mitchell, Ind, who
carried papers-one route in
the morning and another in the
afternoon.
He was too slight and short
to make his high school basket
ball team.
His dad was a railroader who
managed to keep his job during
the depression, though its pay
diminished to $24 a week.
Young Gus tended a vegetable
garden to help out.
His friends called him
'Greasy"-no reference to his
looks, but merely a name that
alternated with Grissom.
Nearly Hanged
Bernard w. Wynn, then
known as Ears" wrote in a
copyrighted series in the In
dianapolis Star that young
Grissom barely made it past
13. At that age, he and Boy
Scout friends were practicing
knot-tying skills.
Mr.. Wynn wrote that in fool
ish play, the kids slipped a rope
over young GrisSom and threw
the other end over a rafter,
Somebody pulled and Feather
weight Virgil soon was dangling
off the floor and rapidly turn
ing blue in the face"
Lowered hastily. after warn
ing yells, the future astronaut
took several minutes to get his
breath and much longer to get
over a sore neck.
The young boy worked DUR
ing most vacations in a local
orchard, a dry goods store or
the gas station across from his
home.
Virgil switched from model
airplanes to girls in high school.
It was even then just one girl,
Betty, his wife-to-be.
Manned Typewriter
EnliSting in the Army Air
Corps. his hopes of battle were
smashed. He was set behind a
typewriter for World War lis
duration.
He and Betty were married,
and Gus entered Purdue Uni
versity. An official of the uni
versity wrote this reporter:
Betty worked, and Virgil
fried hamburgers for 80
hours a week from the summer
of 1949 to his graduation" with
a degree in mechanical engin-
eering in 1850. HE spent one
college summer detasseling corn
and later worked as a machinist
helper on a night shift in the
Monon railroad roundhouse.
Meanwhile, Betty worked
for three years as a long dis
tance telephone operator"
In spite of all the work, Gus
was a good student who never
failed anything, Purdue's regis
trar has said. HIS best grades
we're in math.
Won DFC
After Purdue, he enlisted In
the new Air Force. A flight in
structor once advised him he
might as we'll give up, but he
made the grade. In Korea he
won the Distinguished Flying
Cross.
After the police action, he
finally made his hard-won goal
work as a test pilot.
