Army Claims New Records For Helicopters WASHINGTON UP) The Army claimed three new helicopter altitude records Tuesday. It said that Capt. James E. Bowman of Amboy, flying a Cessna YH41 "Seneca" helicopter at Wichita, recaptured the altitude record from France Saturday by reaching 30,335 feet. This altitude, the Army said, also set a new record for "no weight restriction" class helicopters and also for helicopters of between 1,102 and 2,204 pounds.

Bowman also reached a new height of 28,200 feet for a third class of helicopters weighing between 2,204 and 3,858 pounds. Bowman's new altitude, the Army announcement said, exceeded a 26,931 foot flight toy Jean Boulet of France, who flew an "Alouette" helicopter on June 6, 1955. Bowman's was supervised by a representative of the National iAeronautics Assn. tout must be confirmed and accepted, by the worldwide governing body, Federation Aeronatlque Internation- ale. The altitude of helicopters is limited by the diminishing density of air as they ascend which reduces the bite the rotary blades can take.

U.S. WANTS DISARM PACT BEFORE MEET By JOHN SCALI WASHINGTON The 1 led States was reported preparing today to insist that Russia prove Its good faith by new disarmament concessions before this country will consider a second East-West summit conference. This basic strategy unfolded as top officials drafted President El- senhower's reply to Russian Premier Bulganin's newest bid for a meeting of Communist and free world leaders.

Eisenhower and Secretary of State Dulles were understood to be Increasingly reconciled to the inevitability of a new round of talks with the Soviets, but far from enthusiastic about the prospects. Their in the face of Allied pressure for new discussions, appeared to be developing into this pattern: 1. New talks should be confined strictly to the disarmament deadlock and should not Include 1 3- cussion of political problems. 2. These discussions should be held either on a foreign ministers' level or lower, such as within the United Nations Disarmament Commission, to test Russia's professed willingness to ease ten- ions.

3. The door to a multination summit conference, bringing together Eisenhower and Bulganin, will remain open as a follow-up to any promising disarmament negotiations. If Russia rejects new disarmament talks or refuses to offer concessions, Eisenhower and 1 les will vigorouly oppose any new summit conference. Their view, officials said, is that it would harm the West by sending hopes skyrocketing, only to see them tumble in disillusionment. Harold Stassen, Eisenhower's disarmament chief, meanwhile was reported urging the administration to "liberalize" its own disarmament attitude in advance new talks withe the Soviets.

Stassen was understood to have strongly advanced his recommendations for changes despite bitter opposition from Dulles, Atomic Energy Commissioner Lewis L. Strauss and the Defense Department. i DECISIVE MEETING The conflicting Dulles Stasseir' views will be laid before President Eisenhower at a decisive meeting of the National Security Council set for next Monday in the White House.

Red Skelton Suffers Near Fatal Heart Failure in Asthma Attack By JAMES BACON SANTA MONICA, Calif, (ffl Comic Red Skelton, upset over his illness and an upcoming TV appearance with Bing Crosby, almost suffocated last night from a severe asthmatic attack.

The attack brought on heart failure which left Skelton literally gasping for life. His wife Georgia summoned a fire department rescue squad and his personal physician in time to revive him. He was later taken by ambulance from his Bel Air home to St. John's Hospital in Santa Mon- loa. His doctor said he was sleeping and "progressing satisfactorily." He said his condition was still serious but not critical a.s it was when he arrived at the hospital.

The physician said the asthmatic phase of the attack was complicated by accumulation of fluid in lungs and the combination, depriving the heart of oxygen, brought on the heart failure. He added, however, that "it was not a heart attack and no indication that the heart was bad to start with." "If there are 10 steps to death, you can say that Red took nine of them," the doctor said. Mrs. Skelton said her husband has suffered from a chronic asthma for 30 years. "But he never bad an attack.

like this one," she said. "When it came on he took his asthma pills the same as always, but this time they had no effect. "The attack kept getting worse and worse so that he began to gasp for air. His face turned red and I thought he was going to go. His pulse got very low." She said that Red was working at the time on material for a film to be shot today with Crosby.

His own television show, on the air tonight, already has been filmed and he was to do a skit with by on the Bel Air golf course for showing Jan. 12.
