STRESSES OF SPACE
SAN ANTONIO, Tex. WB —
America’s astronauts may survive
radiation, meteors and other haz
ards only to die of common colds
during space flights, an Air Force
scientist says.
The Air Force is concerned
enough to have ordered extensive
studies on probable effects of
virus-caused ailments during space
voyages.
The studies at the School of
Aerospace Medicine at Brooks Air
Force Base here deal with two
main areas, says Dr. Seymour S.
Kalter, head of the Virology Lab
oratory.
1. Effects of the stresses of space
on viruses carried by astronauts,
and
2. Effects of the stresses of space
on the astronauts carrying the
viruses.
“Stresses” is a key word, because
of medical discoveries about what
stresses do to the body.
Reacting to stress, the body re
leases two kinds of hormones —
inflamatory and anti-inflamatory.
They act to control each other, but
can get out of balance.
B.C. REQUIRES $2$,000
INSURANCE FOR U.S. CARS
VANCOUVER, B.C. UP — A
minimum of $25,000 in automobile
accident insurance is required of
all American cars entering British
Columbia, Canadian officials ex
plained yesterday.
The 10-year-old law was amend
ed recently to increase the amount
to the present level.
The provincial government has
an agreement with most United
States insurance companies where
by they guarantee to protect their
clients to within the B.C. minimum
while they are in the province.
The driver is given a non-resi
dent, pink slip. The government
sends out about 250,000 of these to
insurance companies each year.
Officials say there may be some
questions arising in view of the
large number of drivers expected
to visit British Columbia going to
or returning from the Seattle
World’s Fair.
If a driver does not have cover
age sufficient to meet the B.C. re
quirements his car could be im
pounded, officials said.

GREAT SATURN ROCKET
IS RIGHT ON SCHEDULE
CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. UR —
The great Saturn rocket is on
schedule on a timetable to boost
the three-man Apollo spaceship
into orbit in late 1964 — an im
portant step toward placing the
craft on the moon in this decade.
That was the status report given
by Dr. Wemher Von Braun Wed
nesday after the second straight
successful test-firing of the huge
eight-engine booster.
Pouring 1.3 million pounds of
thrust from the first-stage power
plant, the 162-foot Saturn roared
into a clear sky in an awesome
display of flame and noise. The
engines, spewing a 30-foot tail of
fire, burned out as intended 115
seconds after launching, at an alti
tude of 35 miles, in what one Na
tional Aeronautics and Space Ad
ministration spokesman trmed a
100 per cent successful perform
ance.
The vehicle coasted upward to
an altitude of 65 miles and there
was destroyed deliberately by an
electronic signal beamed from
Cape Canaveral.

GET WALKING PAPERS
NEW YORK UP) — A couple of
right-handers who once possessed
two of the proudest names in base
ball — Robin Roberts and Clem
Labine — have been given their
walking papers.
Robert’s, who was baseball’s
winningest pitcher over one six
year period for the Philadelphia
Phillies, drew his outright release
from the New York Yankees Wed -
nesday. Labine, a top relief man
and pitching mainstay of the old
Brooklyn Dodgers, was released
by the New York Mets yesterday.
Roberts is 35. Labine is 36. Each
was overlooked in the expansion
draft. Their outright release is the
second for each. Each may be at
the end of his baseball career,
though Roberts says he doesn’t in
tend to quit.
Roberts, who won 234 games with
the Phillies, was near tears as he
packed his bag in the Yankee
dressing room.
“I want to stay in baseball as an
active player,” he said.
He didn’t pitch an inning for the
Yankees this season. He was given
his outright release by the Phillies
after a 1-10 season last year.
It was Ben Hecht who observed,
“Any views are unimportant, if
- they are held about women by a
i man past 40.”
