VISTAS IN SCIENCE
Airmen to Supermen to Spocemen ~
BY THOMAS R. HENRY

any football coach's training
system seem sissy" Run
ming. he says, Is the most dis
liked form OF physical exer.
else. Little wonder, he says,
that Air Force cadets, at
least 40 per cent of whom
are "in poor physical condi-
ton" for spaceman stand
ards, protest and complain Of
all sorts Of pain, severely
labored breathing and gen.
eral discomfort. Bat the
"superman coach" must be
hard-boiled about 1t and,
says DR.. Bake. 1t pays OF.
With a group of Air Force
personnel, for example, a
daily schedule for 10 to IL
weeks Of As minutes a day Of
fairly swift running with
fast-walking rest periods had
these results:
1T reduced the pulse
frequency at any given work
intensity. This means, since
the oxygen intake for any
given work intensity remains
unaltered. that the stroke
volume of the heart or the
oxygen utilization by the
tissue, or both, have been
altered in the direction Of
a more economical circula.
ton.
THE maximal oxygen in
take increased by about IS
per cent, a reflection Of a
substantial increase of the
maximal heart output.
Other Results
THE maXimai breathing
capacity during work in
creased about 40 per cent.
However, for comparable
work intensities the effort
of breathing was slightly re-
duced so that, for equal
oxygen uptakes, or for equal
work loads, less ventilation
was needed. This means that
functional reserves were in
creased.
1.-THE training period also
had a valuable effect on the
metabolic reserves. Pretrain-
ing tests on the control
group revealed that an aver
age amount of 220 grams Of
carbohydrates was utilized
before the subjects became
extremely exhausted by q
steady state type of heavy
work.
After training, exhaustion
came much later, after an
average amount of 315 grams
of carbohydrates had been
modified. The extent to
which carbohydrates from
the glycogen (sugaD stores
in muscles and liver become
available and the extent to
which stored body fat is
readily converted to fuel for
body activity can be Of
great Importance to the pilot
of present-day aircraft, and
more so for the space pilot.
THE increase of func-
tional and metabolic re-
serves has more implications
than those of work capacity
alone. Physical fatigue is
delayed or even prevented.
Finally the high body re-
serves achieved can assist
adaptation to other stresses
such as hypoxia 0ack Of
OXYGEN and extremes Of
temperature"
All this, DR.. Balke's report
stresses, resulted from his
training program at nearly
sea level. The whole program
then was transferred to high
mountains.

Conqress Riddles

The House District Committee-or,
to be more specific, Representative Davis
of Georgia-is doing Nero-like job of
f1ddling while juvenile crime threatens
to get out of hand in this Capital City.
Ten days ago Representative Diggs,
Democrat of, Michigan, saw gang Of
juveniles attack, beat and rob man
at Logan Circle The Michigan congress-
man said they behaved like pack of
wolves" Now it develops that one Of
these EVOLVES" had been arrested earlier
on serious charges but had not been
brought to trial because hopeleSSly
process the case. The boy, a16-year-old
suspected yoker, has been awaiting trial
for eight months. If the court calendar
Is adhered to, his case will not be
brought up for trial before Christmas.
OF course, this case could be pushed
ahead. But that would simply mean that
another case would have to be pushed
back.
There is still another disgraceful
facet of this situation. In the past fiscal
year, AT boys and girls were brought
before Juvenile Court Judge Ketcham
as being delinquent, homeless or beyond
control of their parents. During the
same period of time 853 juveniles, in
similar situations, were brought into the
court, but never saw the judge. With his
many other duties he was unable to give
personal attention to these cases, and
they had to be handled by the court
staff
This reveals situation that is I'M
necessary and bad in two respects. 1t is
bad in one respect because it permits
vicious young hoodlumS to prowl the
streets for upwards of year after they
have once been picked up by the police
on serious charges. Yet experience has
shown that prompt trial and punish
ment does more than anything else to
discourage young criminals. 1t is bad
in the second respect because the
chances of reform are better If delin-
quent is brought before judge rather
than some member of the court staff.
Finally this deplorable situation is I'M
necessary because an effective remedy
is readily available.
The remedy is the bill to add two
judges to the Juvenile Court bench-a
bill which passed the Senate months
ago, which is unanimously supported by
all individuals and agencies concerned
with law-enforcement in Washington,
and which without question would be
passed by the House If 1t could be
brought to vote.
It has not been brought to a vote
because Judge Davis has bottled up the
! bill in his subcommittee, despite the
fact that all of the subcommittee men,
. bers, Mr.. Davis excepted, are in favor of
it. AS we have said before, this is some
+ thing of a paradox, for the Georgia
congressman is supporter of good law
, enforcement and he understands the
desirability of prompt trial and punish
ment of criminals, whether young or
old. He would not tolerate similar
situation in his home district. So we
continue to hope that he, and the House
leaders, will not give the green light to
the hoodlum element in the Nation
Capital. But time is running out. This
week probably affords the last chance at
this session to get the bill out of the
Davis subcommittee.

AIR UNIVERSITY, MAX
WELL AIR FORCE BASE,
Ala: The Air Force is trying
TO make a "superman. He
will be the eventual space
man."
Preliminary experiments
already have been carried
out on highest mountainous
Of two continents under the
direction Of the man who
probably Is the worlds fore
most authority In this field.
He is DR.. Bruno Bake. for
mer director Of the Institute
Of Performance Physiology of
the German Mountain Corps.
He is now on the faculty. Of
the School Of Aviation Medi-
cine Of the Air University at
Brooks Air Force Base, Tex.
Primarily, says DR.. Bake
In a report Just issued by the
Air University. 1t is a matter
Of vital capacity which IS
subject to great variations.
Probably, he says, most nor
mally healthy young fellows
who pass the rigid pilot Sc
lection tests are likely candi-
dates for "supernen." how
ever far they may fall short
Of the ideal now. But In nor
NAL lifetimes, even as Jet
pilots, nothing approaching
the requirements would be
expected of them.
Active Men Stand Stress
Mere Giving" he points
out, requires Of everybody
some of this vital capacity.
But, he says, "a strictly sed-
entary life of forced inactiv-
ity can reduce functional re-
serves to a point at which
metabolic requirements that
exceed the basal metabolic
rate by five or six times are
we'll beyond adaptive capac-
tiles. On the other hand,
properly conditioned and
regularly active men might
be safely stressed to Is or l8
times the resting level OF
their energy metabolism. A
cardiovascular and respira-
tory system which. through
extensive physical training
has become adapted to such
extraordinary requirements
will stand up under almost
any other stress situation.
"At least such cardio-
respiratory reserves will serve
as a good background fol
further attempts to increase

BY G. MILTON KELLY
Associated Press Stan Writer

Former Senator George H.
Bender, the Teamster Unions
controversial $l25 a day anti
corruption sleuth, confirmed
yesterday he still has free office
space in the Library Of Con-
gress. He denied using 1t on
Teamster business.
Mr.. Bender has been at
bitter loggerheads with the
Senate Rackets Committee. 1t
contends the Transfers Union
hasn't turned a hand to re-
move alleged gangsters and
racketeers from positions Of
trust as aides to the unions
president, James r. Hoffa.
A reporter asked Mr.. Bender
whether 1t Is true that he Is
allowed free Office space in the
taxpayer-supported Library Of
Congress, and whether he uses
1t as a base for research for the
Teamsters.
It is true. Mr.. Bender said,
that he still has a study room
reserved for him at the library.
But it has no relationship
whatsoever 10 the Transfers
Union" he added. He said he
uses the study room as a base
for research for two books he
is writing.
Mr.. Bender later told a re-
porter he has not used the
room himself for perhaps three
years. He said he continues
to reserve it, and allows a num-
Der of college students to work
There. He said he has been
Itoo busy lately to do much re-
search there on the books ne
has in mind.
Mr.. Bender said one Of them
will be "a book on legislation,
Legislative experience, and in
formation on how things are
done" based on his career Of
liz years as a House member
from Ohio and two years in
the Senate.
The other, he said, will be a
work on 1.-THE Munich confer
ence"
What year was that con-
ference?" a reporter asked.
I'm not sure. Mr.. Bender
replied. 1T was just before
World War II. I'm doing con-
siderable research on it when
I have the time"
Mr.. Bender said he does mis-
own research and writing. An
aide at the library said he
rarely sees Mr.. Bender there
but often sees lone of his aides
I don't know the aides name.
Mr.. Bender expressed indig-
nation at being asked about it
TITS peanuts to talk about
such things" he protested.
Congress members have the
privilege of reserving study
