...testing on humans, let alone for the bathroom medicine chest, because it causes too many undesirable side effects-including nausea and a drop in blood pressure. How soon trials in human volunteers can begin, no man knows. (First subjects would be cancer patients who might be able to take higher and more curative doses of radiation.) Other snags: AET must be taken at least 15 minutes before exposure to radiation, gives full protection for only about an hour. It may take years to find related chemicals that will be less toxic and give greater protection for longer periods...
...asked the men to do deep knee bends every three minutes (exercise speeds the onset of the bends, intensifies the pain). Still, most of them felt nothing. Physiologist Balke ordered five knee bends every two minutes. At this, most of the men felt twinges and began the descent to higher pressures...
...lowlanders. Also, they sensed more quickly (thanks to training) the reflexes that indicate the onset of CO2 giddiness. So they would have more time to do something about it. Aside from advantages in regard to the bends and CO2, Dr. Balke found that his volunteers, after conditioning, had a higher tolerance for oxygen shortage than at their San Antonio base (elev. 761 ft.). This meant that they could work efficiently at a consistently higher altitude. Furthermore, they could go still higher for emergency periods without ill effects...
...recurrence of a labor shortage as working-age population rises. What the bank expects is a relatively stable growth pattern over the next five years, with prices rising a modest 1% or 2% each year. Any further acceleration in prices could be crimped politically by Government controls or higher taxes. "Thus," concludes Economist Reierson, "unless the U.S. adopts fiscal irresponsibility as a way of life or, of course, we become involved in another war, an inflationary binge appears unlikely...
...released still more figures showing that the economy's rebound from recession, already sharper than in any other postwar upturn, is picking up speed. Items:¶ Industrial production for July stood at 133 on the Federal Reserve's index, up three points since June and seven points higher than the recession low of 126 in April (see chart). At this rate, say economists, the pre-recession level of 145 in August 1957 may well be topped before year...
