...promise for smaller vehicles is in trucks, earth-moving equipment and farm tractors. Ford, General Motors and International Harvester have directed their research to developing turbines for such vehicles, but have been wary of turbine engines for autos. But only the Chrysler engineering team, headed by Research Engineer George Huebner Jr., seems to have licked the major problems of adapting the turbine to a passenger...
...Robert J. Huebner, head of PHS's laboratory for infectious diseases, said: "We have to define the problem as 'acute respiratory disease, upper and lower.' The 'upper' refers to disease at the level of the larynx or above, such as laryngitis, nasal pharyngitis and simple rhinitis. 'Lower' covers tracheitis, bronchitis and pneumonitis. Then we have to identify them further as mild, moderate or severe, and as with fever or without...
Children have five times as many acute respiratory diseases as adults, said Dr. Huebner. This is presumably because young children have no defenses against the viruses. Healthy adults, it is now believed, can usually stage an antibody counterattack to keep the virus from running wild...

"It will run beautifully on diesel fuel, peanut oil, gasoline, kerosene, alcohol, furnace oil-or even French perfume," says Engineer George Huebner Jr., conjuring visions of service stations equipped with Chanel No. 5 atomizers...
...Psychological tests showed a rather significant association of high gullibility scores with complaints of upper respiratory illness," said Dr. Huebner. "Our findings indicate that susceptibility to suggestion represents a more powerful inciter to 'runny' noses than any virus which we have as yet discovered." Dr. Huebner noted that a smaller ratio of workers pile up most of the absenteeism laid to colds. Also, colds are commonest on Monday mornings. "Perhaps there is a 'Monday morning' virus." said Dr. Huebner, "but I wonder whether it could be grown even with modern tissue cultures or that miracle drugs...
