Anderson and his son Kristian, 23, laid claim to another major record last week: the first balloon crossing of North America. Their craft was the Kitty Hawk, a 75-ft. teardrop of fragile polyethylene filled with 200,000 cu. ft. of helium. Dangling from the balloon was an 11-ft. by 5-ft. red, white and blue gondola. It carried the Andersons and 5,000 lbs. of ballast and supplies, including ten radios, a folding cot, a backgammon board and a week's worth of fried chicken, peanut butter and chocolate-chip cookies...

To physical therapists convened in Cincinnati last week Dr. Hansson described a machine designed by himself and his associate which pumps blood out of one arm, irradiates it with germicidal ultraviolet rays, puts it back in the other arm. Citrate of sodium introduced into the blood as it leaves the vein prevents coagulation. ''It is for the future," said Dr. Hansson, "to show what can be accomplished.
