Won in Damage Suit Man Would Give His $1-Million if Only He Could Walk Again MINNEAPOLIS (A) "I'd give up the million dollars to be able to get and do things," says Pat Burke, 21. Paralyzed from the neck down since his spinal column was crushed in a railroad accident last fall, Burke commented after being awarded $1-million from the Milwaukee Road in a settlement reached Friday in Federal District Court. ATTORNEYS said the $1-million is the largest ever received in a personal injury suit in nesota and one of the largest ever against a railroad.

The Minneapolis lawyer declined to comment on his fee, but attorneys normally receive 25 to 30 per cent in personal injury cases. THE SUIT, which originally asked went to trial Tuesday. The jury was shown a 30-minute movie showing a typical day in Burke's life now, including the massage exercises he receives three times a day to keep his muscles from deteriorating.

Burke, who had been working for the company for two years, was injured last November near Waterville, when a large steel beam he had helped load into a railroad car toppled over. The suit charged the accident was caused by the company's negligence in not securing the beam before moving the car. BURKE remained conscious while the beam was removed by a crane. "I knew I was paraly ze he said. couldn't move my legs or anything." Later, he believed he was going to die.

New Satellite Will Provide More and Better Weather Data LOS ANGELES (UPI) When your favorite TV weatherman on the six o'clock news says, "let's look at the satellite," and a map flashes on the tube, few viewers wonder about its origin. The global weather map is the product of tireless photographic satellites that started Apr. 1, 1960, when Tiros I was launched.

SINCE THAT time 20 more weather satellites gone into orbit and have provided up date data on storms for TV weathermen, airplane pilots, and anyone else who has the facilities to tune in on the system. Some radio hams have made their own receiving sets at a cost ranging from $100 to $200. One enterprising ham used his wife's rolling pin as the platen to wind his photo paper. On Friday, the Federal Space Agency launched a new and improved edition in the long line of weather satellites. In the pre-launch stage it is called ITOS-D for Improved Tiros Operational Satellite Model D.
