SAN ANTONIO, Tex. Oct. 5
Vice President johnson I'M
derwent what was described as
a purely routine" heart ex-
animation here today.
The checkup, by Air Force
Cardiologist Lawrence Lamb
took place during an inspection
tour of the Aerospace Medical
Center here. Mr.. johnson has
received checkups from DR.,
Lamb before.
The Vice President reached
San Antonio this morning by
air after an overnight stop at
Austin. The Aerospace Medical
Center visit was the final stop
on a three-day tour of space
installations in the West.
A member of the Vice PreSi-
dents staff said there was mo
particular reason" for the
heart examination except that
as a former heart patient Mr..
johnson likes to keep tabs on
his condition. He described the
visit as purely routine.
Mr.. Johnson had his last
heart examination at the Ma
tional Naval Medical Center in
Bethesda a few months ago.
To Fly to d. C.
The Vice President planned
to leave here at midday to fly
to his ranch north of here for
a barbecue luncheon. He was
scheduled to leave the LBJ
Ranch about 3 pm. for a flight
to Austin, where a presidential
jet transport waited to fly him
to Washington tonight.

Atlas Reaches
Indian Ocean
In Entry Test

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla,
Oct. 5 (AP).-A blockbuster
Atlas missile rumbled nearly
5000 miles from Cape Ca
naveral to the Indian Ocean
today to determine how its
nose cone withstands the pun
ishing forces of re-entry.
The ocean-spanning rocket
raced east of the Brazilian
coast and south of the African
tip on the over-water flight
that lasted about so minutes
and ended when the nose cone
plunged into a target area
about TOO miles southeast of
Capetown, South Africa.
The Air Force announced the
successful flight.
Capsule Search
AS the cone-which could
carry a nuclear warhead-dived
back to earth, it elected a data
capsule which parachuted into
the water.
A ship and planes began a
search for the 30-inch cylindri-
cal capsule which contained
instruments and a miniature
tape recorder to measure per-
Torrance Of the cone.
This was the fourth longest
Surface-to-surface missile flight
on record. Three other Aliases
have exceeded the distance
one travelling 9,O54 miles. the
other two about 9,040 miles.
The longest known Russian
tests were about 5000 miles.
The nose cone today was
heavier than those on the ear
lier long-range Aliases.
Low Trajectory
To subject the cone to severe
re-entry stresses and heating,
the Air Force deliberately aimed
the missile on a shallower than
normal trajectory, sending it
to peak altitude of about 500
miles. Normal 5000 mile Atlas
shots reach attitudes of about
500 miles, and one of the long
range missiles stabbed 900 miles
high.
The lower trajectory length
ems the time that the nose cone
is scared by re-entry heat of
the atmosphere.
The cone was coated with
layers Of a material which
melted and carried the heat off
into space. Temperatures were
expected to each $4,000 degrees
fahrenheit on the warhead sur
face.
For a brief period during re-
entry, the air becomes electri-
cally charged and forms an ion
lied sheath around the cone.
cutting off radio contact with
instruments. The tape ecorder
in the capsule registers what
happens during this critical
blackout period.

CThe veStibule is that part
of the inner ear tina; seems

Changes in gravity and motions
of the head can disturb the YES
tibule. Vestibular disturbances
eventually cause nausea and
vomiting. Modern seasick pills,
such as DramamIne, act to
calm the inner ear rather than

American scientists were
puzzled by the reference to

earth.
DR.. Yazdowsky said that after
some period of sleep, the dis

however, until the beginning of
re-entry.
Another scientist said that if
Titov had vomited, it could
have killed him. In weightless-
ness, the vomit would have dis
assembled, spreading and float
ing and thus perhaps strangling
Maj. Titov when he attempted
to breathe. the scientists said.
Control of Ship
In spite of this possible con-
sequence. Gen. Flickinger and
DR.. YazdowSky suggested that
the selection of astronautS with
strong vestibular systems, plus
special centrifuge training of
these astronautS, could elimi-
nate seasickness, even on a.
flight to the moon and back.
Gen. Flickinger, who acted as
a moderator during the ques-
ton and answer period for DR..
Yazdovsky, also talked with
him before and after the formal
meeting.
The general is now a con-
sultant on manned flight in
space for the Air Force and
several scientific organizations.

A report here that Russian
Cosmonaut Gherman Titov's
blood circulation slowed signif-
icantly during his Is hours in
orbit around the earth has
thrown a new and unexpected
roadblock in front of American
and. presumably, Russian plans
to send a man to the moon.
Retired Air Force Brig. Gen.
Don Flickinger said that Maj.
Titov's weakening" because of
weightleSsness may mean some
system of artificial gravity will
have to be provided for long
space flights such as that to
the moon.
Otherwise, he said, the lunar
aStronautS' bodies would be so
weakened that they would not
be able to withstand the impact
of re-entry into the earth's at
moSphere and landing.
The weakened astronauts, he
said, would be mangled and
killed.
Gen. Flickinger, a surgeon,
was responsible for bio-medical
studies leading to manned space
flight.
TwO-Year Delay
Gen. Flickinger made a per
sonal" estimate that adding
artificial gravity to a moon ship
would complicate design and
delay the program as much as
two years. Artificial gravity
could be created by a system of
rotating the space ship. (The
rotation would push the astro-
nauts toward the floor" of the
spaceship much as water is
pushed against the bottom of
bucket swung around and
around0
Gen. Flickinger said Russia
and the United States may have
to change goals. Instead of
going to the moon as a next step
into space, Gen. Flickinger sug-
Gested an orbiting laboratory,
with men who can check each
others responses, may be the
necessary next step.
Scientists at the 18th Inter
national Astronomical Congress,
being held at the Marriott Twin
Bridges Motor Hotel, learned of
Maj. Titov's circulation prob
lens from DR.. v. J. YazdovSky
of the USSR Academy of
Sciences.
Long SeaSickness
He also reported yesterday,
in a scientific paper written
with DR.. o. G. Gazenko, also
Of the Russian Academy. that
Maj. Titov was seaSick during
most of the flight.
In the English translation,
it came out this way:
In conditions of weightleSs-
ness, unpleasant sensations Of
the vestibular character were
felt stronger and stronger espe-
cially when the astronaut
