Daring Team of Chutists Set
For Season in Silent World

NEW YORK, April 6 (AP).-
A skilled team Of United States
Navy parachutists has en-
barked upon another season of
exhibitions in a silent world,
where the birds of the air once
claimed dominion, Thousands
of Americans will thrill to their
daring in the next eight
months.
There is a tremendous crowd
response" says one member of
a l2-man team of "Chuting
Stars" as the Navy calls its
finely drilled unit of free fall
parachutists.
Currently, the chutists await
an engagement April 1914 at
Moffett Field, Calf. They'll be
on the move through next Mo-
vember, enlivening air shows
from coast to coast with their
maneuvers.
The Chuting Stars were Or
ganized in 1861 on the 50th
anniversary of naval aviation.
Warrant Officer Lewis T. Vim
son, one Of the Navy's ace par.
achutists, came out of retire.
ment to train them.
The men have four basic
routines that begin when they
leave their plane at IL, 500 feet.
They have so seconds and TO-
900 feet of space to complete
their maneuvers, after which
they open their chutes and drift
to earth.
One routine sends two men
arching gracefully past each
other and then back again An
other includes four men who
leap in a tight bunch, then
fire flare guns as they swoop
apart for all four points of the
compass.
In another maneuver, two
parachutists pass a baton back
and forth several times as they
glide toward earth-a baton
that never has been dropped.
A final basic maneuver in
cludes two teams of two men
each, who separate on the way
down and swerve gracefully
back and forth in a diamond
pattern.
Smoke grenades are attached
to the heel of each jumper so
the audience below can follow
their motions. They maneuver
themselves in the air somewhat
as swimmers do in water, with
their arms, legs and torsos.
Since the team was organ
lied, its members have partici-
patel in $500 jumps. The. {,
have been one broken shoulder,
two broken legs, one spinal
strain and numerous sprains.
But there has never been a life
lost.

The vote was taken during
the week at Boeing's plants al
