Sailor Rescued On Bridge After Threat to Jump
On the Manhattan Bridge a 19 foot high manledge stood between Seaman James Casali and a fatal plunge. Patrolman Walter Lynch urged him to drop his leave papers as leverage to stop the attempt while Exsch grabbed him from the girder and pulled him to safety. Casali was then taken to St Albans Naval Hospital. An odd closing line notes Americans use more than 79 billion pounds of paper each year.
