Priest Persuades Man To Leave Hotel Ledge
A New York man, Harold Turner of Bronxville, stood 40 to 50 feet above Chapel Street at the Hotel Taft for 20 minutes. Priest Rev. James D. Keatings calmed him with earnest talk, guiding Turner back to his room as firemen and police coordinated a rescue with nets and ladders. Turner was taken to a hospital for exposure and shock after the ordeal.

Floating NATO A Bases Proposed by Senator Jackson
Sen Jackson of Washington proposed using submerged or floating platforms as nuclear rocket bases to defend NATO against Soviet missiles. He said such sea based bases, potentially with atomic submarines, would complicate Soviet targeting and shift deterrence offshore. He noted Britain Norway and the Netherlands could adapt the idea and tied it to a rapid retaliatory SAC response to destroy Russia before a first Soviet strike.
