Aviation Medicine said Farrell is "holding up beyond our expecta-j toons.” Farrell cannot see out of the chamber, but doctors can watch him on a closed television circuit or, if desired, through a one-way vision panel in the chamber. He receives Instructions from the outside by flashing lights. The periods in which he is instructed ■ ■, to work or take tests,, or is fr/?e ' jko eat, read cr sleep, are varied ' from day to cay i s part of the ■[ testing. ! Dr. -Hubertus Striighold. re-; j search adviser, said the purpose [of the variation S to “see just. how much a space ’ flier has to [ sleep and work.” He said preliminary research; : showed that a man can work well: [in “Juvs" as short as 18 hours or as Jong as 28 hours- He said | he believes an 18-hour "day" i would permit a man to do better > work than a 24-hour day in space flight and would also make it: ■ possible to operate with fewer: ‘ men, an important consideration [ in cramped quarters. N J Farren can send radio messages. from his sealed chamber, but he j has been deliberately deceived; jsabout their reception. He was l; : told they would be recorded and .'played back later for the scien : tific observers. Actually they are p heard directly by the scientists as • . lhe sends them. The deception was f planned to increase his sense of insolation.

Automation Is Aid To Boat Industry t ... Boat Builder Says Prices To Decrease CHICAGO iUP) — Automation has hit the boat industry and before long, the price on 15-foot run- . abouts may drop so low that just anybody can afford one, a boat builder, said today. —-— "We're”producing molded boats; at the rate of one hull every 13 ‘ minutes," HA. McCune of Bowman Boat Co. said, "and our en- ■ gineers tell us that in theory we I can get our production up to one , hull " every three minutes. So in 'practice it might take five or six minutes.” . What that difference in production time will mean is between S3OO and-S4OO in the. cost of a boat, McCune said. “Last year it was taking us about half an hour io produce a hull,” he said, "and we were selling the boats for $1,375: Just this week we cut the price on the same boat to $975, and when we I get that production time down to j five or six minutes, I think we I can sell them for between $575 and $675.” Not Over-ProSucing McCune had no fears about i Bowman's ability to dispose of its i increasing production, even should, the recession continue. “I’ve had surveys made," he “and we found out that during the depression, back in the . 30s, the sales of fishing boats zoomed down. Our boats are allpurpose and if you happen to knock a hole in the hull, we sell, , a do-it-yourself repair kit for j $4,95 that'll fix any puncture.” McCune said his survey partialy covered Detroit auto workers llaid off during the depression. | "They bought a fishing boat," he j ' said, “closed up their apartment. .: I bought a tent, went out and lived off the -land. They fished out the, cost of the boat ” McCune's firm will produce be- j tween 5,000 and 6,000 boats this year, less than half as many as it turned out in 1957. But that was a good change, he said. '■ Fire Sparked Survey “We h'ad a fire a year ago,” he said, “and it burned us jput. We were turning out 12,000 boats a year, made of aluminum, plywood, molded,’ mahogany, and > every other type. But the fire forced us to re-survey everything we did, “Now we won't add a boat to the line unless we're sure it's .new, i’practical, and offers something the public wants. Were going to put in an aluminum line next year, but this year, all our production will be molded." McCune believes that boats should stress safety more than speed. “We've got one of the fastest boats of Its size,” he said, “but that' just happenstance. What we're proudest of is the fact that we've got 13 cubic feet of flotation in a boat compared to the Outboard Boat Club’s recommendation for five cubic feet in a boat that size.” ... —~je —J— —- * If you have something to sell or rooms forrent, try a Democrat Want Ad — They bring results.

American Satellite Superior To Sputnik Says Quality Far Superior To Russia INDIANAPOLIS <W — America's earth satellite is “pound for pound far superior” to Russia’s Sputniks, Army Secretary Wilbur Brucker said Monday. “The Russians went for size — we went for quality of instrumentation,” Brucker told newsmen on arrival at Weir Cook Airport enroute to Muncie for a Lincoln Day speech. The successful launching of America’s Explorer satellite was “far from a stunt,” Brucker said. “It was a pretty good scientific achievement,” he said. "It’s the first step on the way to interplanetary travel. Brucker said the “next step” is a space platform. He said he is “very much opposed” to replacing the Joint Chiefs of Staff with a single military commander. “It would concentrate too much authority in one man in one place." Brucker said. “We need the old fashioned principle of checks and bajgnces.” Brucker said he also is against the proposed merger ci the armed forces into one command. “You can’t change the problem by pouring everybody in the same uniform,” he said. On hand to greet Brucker were governor Handley, Adj. Gen. John McConnell and Delaware County Republican Chairman Paul M. George.
