Walter Wieczorek, New York police department mechanic, examines a “General Mac Arthur land-water bike” which landed its inventor in the psychiatric ward of New York's Bellevue Hospital on February 16, 1952. Robert Kising, who says he came from the Philippines, tries to cross the Hudson River from New York to New Jersey with his odd contraption. Chunks of floating ice forced him to turn back after he had gone 400 feet, he said. Wieczorek lives at 32-78 thirty-fifth street Astoria. (Photo by AP Photo/JH)
