BREMERTON, Wash. (UPI) —An 18-year-old youth
who took a hard line on discipline beat the school board
chairman in an election here Tuesday.

High School got 23 per cent of the vote, while incumbent

Make snakes harmless
SALT LAKE CITY (UPI)— Three researchers have
developed an operation that renders harmless such
deadly snakes such as the king cobra and diamondback
rattler.
The new technique has worked on 150 snakes and means
zoo keepers can handle poisonous repties without fear of a
fatal bite, said James L. Glenn, a herpetologist for the
local Hogle Zoo.
Chinese pickets
SAN FRANCISCO (UPI)— Chinese and white parents
picketed San Francisco’s board of education Tuesday
while a teacher’s union leveled a broadside against the
busing of elementary school children to integrate
classroom.
About 300 parents, many marching with their children,
carried signs protesting busing and calling on the school
district to modify integration plans for the 50,000 children
assigned to the city’s 97 schools.
Hayden to teach
HOLLYWOOD (UPI) —Chicago Seven defendant Tom
Hayden has been hired to teach a political science course
on Vietnam and the protest movement at Immaculate
Heart College, a Roman Catholic school for women.
“He is controversial and the subject matter is
controversial but this in no way lessens its validity as an
undertaking of higher education,” said Dr. Mary Jean
Pew, chairman of the college’s history and government
department.
Hayden will teach the course one night a week for the
next 15 weeks. One of the books scheduled to be used is the
Pentagon Papers, the school said.
Hayden was convicted with the others of the Chicago
Seven on charges of crossing state lines to incite rioting
during the 1968 Democratic National Convention in
Chicago. He is free pending appeal.
Major windfall
UNITED NATIONS (UPI)— Japan’s decision to
cosponsor the United States’ two-China policy appeared
today to be a major windfall to Washington’s struggle to
keep Nationalist China in the United Nations while
admitting the Peking regime.
The first test of the U.S. policy in the United Nations was
expected on a move to merge opposing agenda items
favoring the Communist and Nationalist Chinese for a
single debate in the 26th General Assembly sometime next
month.
The 130-nation General Assembly, which opened
Tuesday, convened today at 10:30 a.m. EDT.

Astronaut
‘secrecy’
criticized
By FRANK MACOMBER
Military-Aerospace Writer
Copley News Service
The flight of Apollo 15, aside
from its important new find
ings about the moon’s origin
and age, has raised some
serious questions about future
U. S. manned space travel long
after the Apollo series ends
next year.
For example, are astronauts
during their missions entitled
to the same confidential doctor
patient relationship that the
private citizen has? Or should
the American public — the
taxpayers who finance space
missions — be told im
mediately if spacemen suffer
ailments during flights into
space?
If the Apollo 15 astronauts
experienced disturbing if not
serious physical reactions from
12 days in weightlessness
outside the earth’s atmosphere,
how can doctors be sure the
human body will withstand
more prolonged missions
without lasting damage to its
system?
The doctor-patient issue
arose when the federal space
agency waited until Aug. 13, six
days after the Apollo 15 splash
down, to disclose that
Astronauts David R. Scott and
James B. Irwin had ex
perienced irregular heart rates
while working on the moon and
Irwin considerable physical
discomfort during the 12-day
mission.
These developments were not
mentioned in press briefings
during the flight nor in a crew
medical status report to
newsmen Aug. 9. Some news
organizations protested the
delay and asked for an ex
planation. So far there has been
none.
The doctor-patient
relationship for astronauts has
been kicking up a controversy
within the space agency for a
long time. Dr. Charles A.
Berry, director of medical
operations and research at the
Manned Spacecraft Center,
Houston, concedes this.
He has been the chief
astronauts’ doctor since the
early days of the space
program.
The astronaut corps has
urged that the doctor-patient
formula be applied during
flights unless an ailment is
serious enough to hamper a
spaceman’s performance of his
duties. Some even have
suggested a “discreet”
frequency radio channel so
astronauts could discuss
personal medical problems
with doctors. This would
sidestep use of the usual
ground-to-space channel
monitored by newsmen and
often by television audiences as
well.
Under this arrangement, the
public would learn of an
astronaut's physical ailment
only if it were serious enough to
alter the flight plan.
It is unlikely there will be any
marked change in policy for the
last two Apollo missions next
year. That means the public
will learn of astronauts'
physical troubles if they are
serious enough to discuss with
mission control.
More significant over the
long view is the question of
physical reaction during and
after prolonged space flights.
Irwin said he experienced
dizziness and discomfort while
lying down for five days after
the Apollo 15 mission. Dr.
Berry says none of the
astronauts suffered any lasting
physical damage from the
flight but concedes medical
science still isn’t sure what can
happen to the human body
during flights running into
months or years.
During the Skylab missions
scheduled for 1973, three
astronauts will remain in earth
orbit for 28 days on the first
flight. The second and third
missions are scheduled for 56
days each. Berry says these
longer-duration flights might
tell doctors more about how
man reacts to long-time ex
posure to weightlessness.
The U. S. space shuttle
pay increase for servicemen—
the largest in history—awaited
President Nixon’s signature.
A seven-month struggle over
renewal of the law ended
Tuesday when the Senate
defeated a filibuster attempt
and then passed the bill 55 to
30. The old law expired June 30,
and no one has been drafted in
program, if it develops for the
late 19705, envisions flights of
up to a year for a single crew.
While volunteers have been
placed in earthhound capsules
for long periods under
simulated space-induced
weightless conditions, space
doctors agree that medical
findings from these are in
conclusive. So far science has
found no way to create
prolonged weightlessness on
earth.
They believe zero gravity for
long periods might have lasting
effects on some human organs,
such as the heart and lungs.

Pentagon sources said they
expected to have a figure for
an October draft call in about
one week. They said it was
anticipated some draftees
would be inducted next month.
Selective Service officials said
they would be able to supply
the first draftees within two
weeks after Nixon signs the
bill.
The law requires that
draftees be given at least 10
days notice before being
inducted. In the past, draft
boards commonly have given 30
days notice, but this might be
shaved back to 10 days for
some men to get the draft
moving again.
Officials said men holding
1971 draft lottery numbers
higher than 140 can consider
themselves safe from the draft
this year. Draft boards reached
number 125 in June before the
old law expired.
Army sources said there
would be no dramatic rise in
draft calls for the remainder of
the year. They said the
manpower losses due to suspen
sion of the draft could not be
made up.
