Crybaby Crooner Johnnie (The Little White Cloud That Cried) Ray was close to real tears in Australia after a wild and wooly welcome from adoring teen-age fans. Ray, a veteran of Down-Under tours, sagged in a chair at Sydney's airport following a grating big hello from kids who smashed down barricades to get at him. Ripped: his shirt and coat. Lost: his tie, hanky and decorum...
Down at Yale's Ray Tompkins House, Charley Loftus does a yeoman's job. He mimeographs more publicity about the Eli swimming team than most information offices spread on all sports in toto. This is all very good only for Yale, however. Because Loftus' rightful line is Blue, and because city sports editors have more important concerns than collegiate dualmeet swimming, practically no one cares to doubt or work over Yale sports information releases, and the Eli bombardment hits the press one-sidedly...
Macky swam the 220 for the first time in his life in a meet, forced Yale's Captain John Phair and Ray Ellison to come from behind to place second and third--the latter caught up only on the last turn, and recorded the excellent time of 2:13.5. That clocking ranks with the top six in the East, but with it, though he forced the Yale entries to swim faster than they ever had before and nearly pulled off a surprise third that no one expected, Macky was panned by Danzig...
...human body is adjusted to mild cosmic ray bombardment at the earth's surface, but no one knows what will happen to humans who spend considerable amounts of time above the sheltering atmosphere. At last week's symposium, Major David G. Simons of the Air Force's Space Biology Laboratory, reported that recent experiments have been somewhat reassuring. For five years Holloman Air Force Base, N. Mex. has been sending mice, guinea pigs and monkeys on 24-hour balloon flights. Enclosed in pressurized and air-conditioned capsules, the animals rise as high...
Genetic Damage. Their exposure to the cosmic rays did not seem to damage any of the animals. Some of the black mice grew a few white hairs, presumably caused when cosmic rays passed through hair follicles. No other bodily damage was noted. Major Simons admits, of course, that cosmic rays kill tissue cells, but he does not think any part of an animal's body is seriously damaged by the loss of a few cells. Genetic damage is another matter. If a cosmic ray hits a reproductive cell (sperm or ovum), it can cause the birth of an imperfect...
