CAPE CANAVERAL Fla AP John Herschel Glenn Jr Virgil Ivan Grissom and Alan B Shepard Jr were named as the three men under consideration for the United States first manned suborbital flight to launch from the Redstone rocket at Cape Canaveral in spring. Glenn, 39, a Marine lieutenant colonel from New Concord Ohio, is the oldest and most experienced of the group with over 5100 flying hours and 100 missions in Korea. He spoke of the seven man team and the growing importance of each member as launch day approaches.
