Chimp Blazes Way for
 Safety of B-5S Bomber Crews in Parachute Drop

EDWARDS AIR FORCE BASE, Calf. UP -- A sleepy female chifn- panzee blazed safety trail of sorts Wednesday for B-58 bomb CT crews when she parachuted
 90 ,0O0 feet locked inside an escape capsule.
 The 70O-pound capsules land-
 ing was cushioned by four shock
 absorbers like those on automo- piles.
 Susie, a 90-pound, 10-year-o1d chimp, had no complaints, breath ing private oxygen supply. She'd slept all the way down. Air Force technicians planned that way. They gave Susie a sedative before the test began On the strength of Susie's sue cess, the Air Force plans to eject l a human not yet chosen - for Ia similar capsule within two weeks. The idea is to give B-58 crewmen greater protection from the bomber's slipstream when they eject at high speeds. The bomber was travelling 630 miles an hour just under the speed of sound when a crew man triggered an explosive charge that elected Susie's capsule. l Future elections will be at tempted at higher speeds. The chimpanzee's heartbeat and
 breathing were measured by in
 struments during the descent. De- l tailed findings weren't made pub- lie, but observers said she ap-
 peared to withstand the trip in
 good order.

Whammo' Applied To Trade Dollars

Alaskan Trade Dollars which have been in circulation in the Ko- diak area for the past two months cannot be used as media of ex- change, the promoters of the pro- gram, Alaska Boosters, notified the Kodiak Chamber this week.
 The Kodiak Chamber purchased $2,000 worth and distributed about $1,535 worth through business channels, but earlier this month the Boosters organization was told to collect them and stop their dis tribution by the US. Treasury De- partment.
 A majority of them sold here were for the souvenir value, it was indicated.

 The Burton Islands trek to T-3 set record as the deepest icepack penetration north of Alaska by a vessel of that type.
 With blizzardS and intense cold hampering every move, creWmem- bers and T-3 perSonel fought a 36- hour battle to off-load the provi- sionS and fuel needed to maintain future ice island operations.
 From the Arctic, the Burton Is- land proceeded to Kodiak for a brief recreation and resupply stay before continuing to its home port at Seattle, Wash.
 The frozen, bleak, and once i'm pregnable Arctic has, through op- erationS such as these, gradually given up it's centuries of ice-bound secrets.
