BY HOWARD w. BLAKESLEE
oBOSTON. April % - @ -
The war In the air is going to
the unheard heights of 10000
to $4,000 feet. possibly In a
couple of years.
This prediction was made to
the American College of Physic-
ians today by one of the nations
leading experts in aviation med
icine, DR.. c. K. Drinker, OF
Harvard University.
He told of this while explain
ing to the college entirely new
problems of medicine and hui
man endurance which military
aviation has raised in the last
year. These problems, he said,
do not apply to civil aviation.
He set 43, 200 feet as the fight
ing level because the highest
q human being can 60, breathing
pure oxygen, in q fighting plane
Is 47,OOO feet. At that level,
due to rarefied air pressure, q
persons lungs begin to excrete
oxygen and soon II goes out
faster than it can be breathed
in.
Most serious of the immedi-
ate medical problems facing the
United States, he said, is the
fact that 30 per cent of the
young Americans chosen for war
planes, will fail after they have
done, three months training.
That much of the training, he
declared. costs thousands Of dol
lars a man, yet there is not a
single reliable test now to fore
tell what men will fail. Those
failures, moreover, are occur
ring in the most perfect physical
specimens he has ever seen, q
compliment he paid to the Amer
lean fighter candidates.
Stress is one word the doc
tors have coined for the trou-
BILE. 1t is not the same thing
as physical exhaustion, DR.:
Drinker said. But it neverthe-
less holds British bomber men
from averaging ordinarily more
than two 8-hour trips q week.
Some of the medical puzzles
of q year ago already have been
conquered by British doctors, he
said. Now the u. S., Canada
and Britain are working to-
gether on - all these medical
troubles of aviators.
A good oxygen mask, he as
serted, would be a "Godsend''
TO the three countries. For high
fightingy ven u present levels,
a mask IL needed that will be
perfectly tight and also free OF
ice. At so below zero, he ex-
planned, ice forms inside, pres
ent masks.

OTOkYO, April 23-R1-The
Tokyo Times Advertiser, con-
trolled by the japanese foreign
office, declared editorially today
that future relations between
Japan and the United States
would seem to be in the hands
of Washington-that Japan had
gone as far as she could to re-
store original conditions. +,
The Times Advertiser said
Foreign Minister Yosuke Mat
suoka's interview with the press
yesterday clarified some impor-
tant points, one of which-men-
toned but not discussed-was
the possibility Of q now aggres-
sion pact between Japan and the
United States.
Foreign correspondents asked
Matsuoka whether there was .
chance such a pact might be In
prospect and were told no diplo-
mat revealed his aims in adj
vance.
$50 far" Matsuoka said in re-
ply to the question, mo move
has been made on my part"
In saying the next move Il In
Washington's hands, the Times
Advertiser specified that the
United States took the initiative
in terminating its trade treaty
with Japan and imposing trade
restrictions, and that the United
States openly furnished war
supplies to China.
The newspaper added that the
United States had made II Inn.
possible for Japan to come 70
any close agreement with Brit
ain, although there Is no doubt
that ut the outbreak Of the Euro.
pean war Britain would have
preferred some sort Of alliance"
The editorial said common
sense would dictate that the time
to discuss q non,aggression pact
with the United States Is after
