Parachutist Survives 700-Foot Plunge From Plane
Private Blaine D. Hall likely the only parachutist to fall 700 feet under an unopened chute and survive after a failed main chute. At Fort Benning last October he fell at 140 mph, suffered a broken back and multiple fractures, yet recovered after months in a cast and was released from hospital. Hall hopes to rejoin paratroopers and works at the Fourth Service Command motor pool. Prison-made munitions: 160000 prisoners in 100+ state prisons operate $60,000,000 in machinery on war contracts worth $7,765,412.
