for one thing-the scientists and
doctors didn't know for sure how
the space flight would dispose of
foul air.
That f1rst-manned flight into
outer space will be made in a
completely sealed space ship, DR.
Hubertus Struggled of the Air
Force School of Aviation Med
icine points out. Men will have
pressure suits. complete with
forced oxygen supply with them,
but they'll be travelling inside the
sealed ship, relying. on the suits
only If the space ship should be
pierced and lose its presumed
air supply.
But how to get rid of carbon
dioxide in such a closed, sealed
system? Every time a man ex-
haleS he breathes out carbon
dioxide and every time he inhales
he takes in oxygen-and what
ever else is in the air. 1t doesn't
take too long, in a closed system
for carbon dioxide to replace
air in the lungs to such an ex-
tent that it will kill him.
Initiate the Earth /.
The scientists have long felt
they knew the solution. They
would get rid of carbon dioxide
in the same fashion that the
earth has been disposing of il
for a billion and a half years
all they had to do was figure out
a lightweight artificial way to
initiate the earth.
On earth, man inhales air con-
tanning oxygen. and exhales all
containing a much higher pro-
portion of carbon dioxide than
he inhales. The oxygen provides
life; the carbon dioxide, in rela-
lively large proportion, death.
But plant life-the trees, the
flowers and even the grass
takes in carbon dioxide, and
gives off oxygen. The process
is called photoSynthesis, and as
long as sunlight reaches the
earth the conversion, or synthe-
sis, of carbon dioxide back into
oxygen, goes on through the
green leaves of plant life.
In Texas the scientists studied
some of the problems of space
flight in a space cabin simulator
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1956-09-07

state and climatization Of the
cabin are solved.
When DR.. Struggled tells a
LISTENER his forecasts for the
first manned space flight he
doesn't smile or look at his lis
Iterner's face to see the reaction.
The change in his voice is a
wistful note, belying his whiten-
ing hair. The listener gets the
feeling that DR.. Strughold wishes
he might be on that trip himself

All the Way Back
Another cat was born in Ohio,
When a daughter Of the family
was sent to school in Virginia
she took the pet with her. About
a year later she transferred to
a school In Kentucky and sent
the cat back to her parents by
railway express. Six months
later this cat, also identified by
certain unique markings,
vouched for by veterinarians,
came back to her mistress in
Kentucky.
Some OF the homing cases in
vestigated by DR.. Rhine are al
most as extraordinary. There is,
for example. the thoroughly au-
thenticated case of a dog taken
by his Oregon owners on an
automobile trip east. The ami
NAL was lost somewhere in In
diana. 1t wore a collar which
had been cut down in a peculiar
way to fit its neck.
More than a year later the
animal showed up at its old home
in Oregon. 1t apparently was an
Engaging animal for it had been
adopted twice on the way and
had been observed several other
times. The collar never had been
changed. All this was investi-
gated by DR.. Rhine in person. It
was possible to make a rough
map of the backbone route fol-
lowed. This route was quite diff
ferent from the one traversed
before. The dog had not followed
any of the automobile roads. It
had swum rivers and climbed
mountains. 1t was in very bad
shape when it finally got home.
Others Await Study
Scores of other reports in the
Duke files have not been inves-
ltigated. There are cases o. mules,
COWS. pigs and pet foxes which
have found their ways home, but
over much shorter distances
than those reported for cats and
dogs. A North Carolina mule,
for example, was sold to q
farmer In a neighboring county
and taken by truck to its new
home. 20 miles away. A few days
later 1t showed up at its old
home. The point of interest was
that its route back could be
traced. 1t had not followed the
road but had come across pas
lures and through woods, appar-
emily on nearly a straight line
between the two points.
There is the case Of a pet fox
sent in a box on a train from
North Carolina to Tennessee.
Somewhere en- route it broke out
of the box, jumped from the
train. and a few days later
showed up at its old home.
1t should be emphasized that
the Duke investigators have not
tried to interpret these cases.
They could be explained on the
assumption that the dogs and
cats possessed psi comparable to
that allegedly demonstrated by
some Of the human subjects. 1t is
conceivable, 1t is pointed out.
