was withheld pending investi
the 100 block of South Pugh
around 5 45 p.m. and was crossing
the street when three men in a
two-toned pea-green 1956 Chev
rolet drove up and began taunting,
him. One of the men emerged
from the car and began swinging
at the student who "was holding]
his own," Seckinger said.

men approached from the car and
joined in the attack, with the stu

until being overwhelmed by the
three assailants, according to

7 Young Pilots
Will Make Up
Space Team
WASHINGTON UP) Seven
superb young Americans will
make up the team which will
'represent• the United States in
the drive to put a man into orbit
'around the earth.
This fact came out yesterday.
Their names were still kept secret
but may be made public soon,
possibly later this week.
The seven will be called Mer
cury Astronauts, just as Ameri
ca s first manned satellite venture
is known as Project Mercury.
They're the pick from a squad
of 110 carefully selected men, all
of them military test pilots.
It had been planned to have a
team of 12. It was decided to hold
the number to seven, the National
Aeronautics and Space Adminis
tration said yesterday, to make
sure that each man will have a
full part in every phase of the
task.
These phases include the engi
neering and scientific develop
ment of the space vehicle, test
filghts at moderate speeds and
altitudes building up toward the
full scale missions, and the 18,000
mile-an-hour orbiting itself, 100
miles or more above the earth.
The Mercury Astronauts will
report to Langley Research Cen
ter, Hampton. Va., within a few
days to start orbital flight train
ing. The training program prob
ably will last two years.

ported the incident. A patrol
car was dispatched to the scene,
but little information was
gained from the witnesses.
"I'm still burned up about the
whole thing," said Seckinger.
"We've pursued this thing lock,
stock and barrel and we've
checked everything, and have
even pestered Harrisburg for
identification of the car's regis
tration number until they're
ready to shoot us, but we are
still lacking evidence," he said.
Seckinger said that witnesses
may be withholding information
for fear of becoming involved in
the affair. "Anyone who forwards
