(AP-- Fiery-haired Joe Kittinger says his 15-mile parachute jump didn't scare him--he was too busy to Worry. Kittinger, a jet jockey turned space - age experimenter--with himself as a guinea pig--stepped out of a bucket-like balloon gon- dola at 76,400 feet over the White Sands missile range this week. Protected from 104-below-zero| cold, he plummeted at nearly 450 miles an hour for about three minutes. Then, still 12,000 feet high, a parachute automatically opened, and he drifted to the| desert in six more minutes. It was another part in his con- tinuing effort to help develop equipment to bring men back alive from emergencies on the edge of space. "I didn't have time to worry," the well-knit, 155-pounder said. "I had so many things to do. This was a research job." The air force captain said he kept track of the time and alti- tude "and physiological re- actions" on which he did not elaborate.

The air force said this was not only the highestparachute jump on record but was the highest man had ever ridden in an open balloon gondola. The sides of the bucket were about four feet high, and it was about 4% feet in diameter. There was a gap in the wall for Kittinger to take that first big step. Balloon ascents, "as well as parachute jumps, are old stuff to Kittinger. His first jump was in training for the air force's first operation Man High ascent. That was in a sealed meta! gondola in 1957. He rose to 96,000 feet to learn more about equipment to carry man into space. # Minister In Prison For Blackmail YANCEYVILLE, N.C.
