STEPPING OFF AEROPLANE. HARD ON NERVES. BY CABLE—PRESS ASSOCIATION —COPYRIGHT. Received 2.8 p.m. to-day. LONDON, April 7. Flight-Lieutenant Soden, an acknowledged expert R.A.F. parachutist, with scores of sensational instructional descents to his credit, in a speech, de dared: “I would like everyone clearly to understand that I, am not one oi those' who profess to like leaping from parachutes. Those who say they revel in doing so must have a distorted view of life. Stepping off an aeroplane with tlie parachute' does more than scare me stiff—it scares me absolutely limp.”
