Exploring Inner Spoee
Space Medicine Used On Earth

Editors Note: This article
was taken from the Blackstone
Highs RAMS Horn" the win
ming student newspaper in the
SOuthside TB Association area
in the contest sponsored jointly
by the association and the Col
umbia Scholastic Press. 1t shows
originality, journalistic style and
evidence Of research and under
standing Of subject matter, on
which the entries were judged.
Today some of the medical in
struments developed for outer
space experiments are being
used to explore inner space
the universe of the human body.
One of those principal instlu-
ments is the transducer, a de
vice which picks up one form Of
energy and translates it into
another. To detect minute ply
steal changes in monkey or man
hurting through space, the new
medical transducers had to be
shrunk, sometimes to micro
scopic size. They had to be
made infinitely more sensitive
than any available before.
These transducers, the size Of
a thick dime, will make nedi-
cine better and easier for all of
lis. For example, the familiar
bulky rubber sleeve to measure
blood pressure has been made
into a little pneumatic cuff.
about the size Of a Band-Aid
which slips on and off your fin
ger like a ring. 1t connects with
a radio which broadcasts its
findings and automatically reg
listers them.
There is also a cupsize breath
mask which draws a graph of
breathing This new mask may
replace the mouthpiece-and-nose
clips used in basal metabolism
tests. Since patients can wear it
without discomfort while thev
sleep, doctors may obtain a
more normal lat rest" picture
OF their metabolisn.
Space science has come >up
with a touch thermometer
containing a pinhead-size disk Of
extremely heat-sensitive ceram-
&c, which, tapped to the pa
tlents skin, can record tempera-
ture changes within half a sec
ond. Another model resembles a
paIpolnt pen. When merely
touched to the skin. it registers
temperature instantly on an cleo
tronic gauge.
The device that PROBES deepest
INTO inner space is the intra-
cardiac catheater microphone
Mounted at the end of a slender
tube, this time mike. about as
timex as a grain of rice, is in
serted into blood vessel in the
arm and pushed upward and in
ward until it reaches the inner
NEST chambers Of the heart. Its
pickup reacts to every slightest
murmlr and sends forth radio
signals.

The Most Outrageous
National Waste

While the heavy thinkers Of our nation are dis
cussng the fashionable topic of the national budget
it might be well to throw in one inadequately dis
cussed item which is exceedingly unpopular among
the fashionable.
1t is little item Of IS millions an hour to use
the minimum figure 20 millions every work week
of 40 hours. More than 81 billion every year. This
is a cost - loss - which amounts to 81 for every
$50 or so that the federal government spends each
year but it does not show up in the federal budget
1t is cost that is totally mrecoverable because it
is the loss resulting from keeping 100000 workers
idle
For that matter, it Is a cost that cannot be
measured in dollars at ALL except in an exceedingly
arbitrary fashion in terms Of human values
1t is a cost that has to be measured first in
human anguish, Illustration and defeat Then in hui
man decay and social disintegraton. Finally in the
violence and crime that frustrated and deprived
people driven to- The billion dollars year sug-
gested above is absolute minimum dollar cost
and it is only the beginning Of the real cost Of fail
ure in our economy which keeps in idleness people
who are willing and able to work.
Industry and business have a great deal more
responsibility in this than they willing to
sumo. Seldom does business spokesman or an in
dustry official mention the problem, though
both prone to moralze about the losses of pro-
duction when a union goes strike - losses that
infinitesimal compared with the losses through
unemployment.
Business and industry have fallen far short OF
their responsibilities with regard to automation
They have fallen short on making job opportunities
for groups who have been systematically discrmin-
ated against. Automation has been permitted to run
rampant without any regard whatsoever for the
consequences to workers.
In many cases, the extension Of job opportm-
tiles to minorities has been the merest token of a
gesture as for example the employment of five Ne
gro building mechanics on public projects in Phil
adelphia, where Negroes comprise a substantial
proportion Of the city's population.
Negroes have had to bear the brunt Of the cur
rent unemployment and there indications
throughout the country that they getting mighty
impatient about it.
Where business and industry have fallen down,
it is incumbent upon government to act. This is a
historic function Of government, and there is
why it should not act now to take up the
slack and provide, as matter of permanent public
policy jobs for all who want and need them
And if anybody wants to count the cost Of such
policy, let him compare it with the cost Of policy
at all, the situation have today.

William ''Bill"
Cratic Will Be Missed

The untimely death last week Of William Cratic,
Jr, removed from the area scene one Of the most
staunch advocates of human rights in the nation.
Bill" Cratic spent the greater part of his So
years working to improve the lot Of his fellowmen
a social welfare worker. but was best known as an
effective leader In the NAACP, Urban League and
civil rights movements.
He had the distinction Of having been elected to
the local presidency Of both Of these groups which
have played such large role in the improvement
of American race relations.
Cratic a leader in the city and county en-
ployes union, and for many years served as their
representative in the Minneapolis Central Labor
Union. He was one of the first two Negroes in the
Twin Cities to be named president of unions with
predominantly white memberships.
Known as a fighter in the civil rights move
ment, ready by speech or pen to do battle with
those who sought to keep the Negro down, never
theless Cratic personally and essentially quiet
ly mild and gentle person who often in the heat Of
torrid discussion showed his extreme compassion
and understanding Of mans frailites and frustra-
tons.
Crates ability to contend for whatever posi-
ton he took without allowing bitterness or person
ates to envelop his statements and actions was an
important part Of his makeup.
His service as a member Of the Minnesota Fair
Employment Practices commission and later as
chairman Of the commission was outstanding. He
was one Of the newly developing American figures
of Negro ancestry whose public service projects
them into positions Of not only Negro" leadership
but leadership in the total community.
"Bilp Cratic will not be easy to replace be-
cause Bill Crates" just do not come along often In
large numbers The state Of Minnesota and its people
will be indebted to his memory for the legacy Of
public and dedication far beyond the call Of duty

THE fire NEXT TIME''
BY James Baldwin, Dial Press
New York. 12O pages, $3.50
CREVIEwED RY
NASN IL w III d
Ohm HENDRIX CI.ARKEl

JOHN HENDRIX CLARKE)
Chicago (ANP) - The now
flourishing literary talent Of James
Baldwin had no easy birth, and he
did not emerge overnight, as some
of his new discoverers would have
you believe. For years this talent
was in incubation in the ghetto of
Harlem, before he went TO Europe
nearly decade ago in an attempt
to discover the United States and
how he and his people relate to it.
This book, The Fire Next Time, is
a continuation of his search for
place and definition.
The hardships of that search
were recently described by Sterl-
ing Stuckey, chairman Of the Com
mittee on Negro Culture and His
tory: The tragedy Of the Amer
lean Negro is born Of the twin
evils of the slave experience and
varying patterns Of segregation,
supported by law and custom, that
have been nationwide in dimension
for century.
The Negroes quasi freedom is
often more humiliating than slav-
cry and more difficult to fight, be-
cause it gives the Negro the illu-
sion, while denying him the fact,
Of freedom. Thus the Negro con-
tinues his alien status in a country
where his people have lived for
more than 800 years. The Fire
Next Time, like most Of Baldwin's
writings, is about this alienation.
Two essays, one long and one
short, make up the book. The
short essay, my Dungeon Shook,
originally appeared in the Pro-
gressive magazine. The long essay,
Down at the Cross, originally
appeared in the New Yorker under
the title, Letter From a Region
in My Mind, and the issue In
which 1t came out Is now q col
lector's item.
Baldwin, more than any other
writer Of our times, has succeeded
in restoring the personal essay to
its place as a form Of creative lit
erature. From his narrow vantage
point Of personal grievance, he has
opened a window on the world"
He plays the role traditonally as
signed to thinkers concerned with
the improvement Of human condi,
tions - that of alarmist.
