QUIGG United Press Correspondent New York (U.R) Women! Look alive! You may be the first sex to get out of this world. That is, if the men who build O and send out our first space ship q will jus pay attention to reason q and don't let their masculine 6 pride stand in the way of prog- q This is no pipe dream. It's the considered opinion of one of the 0 country's rocket experts that a owoman would be better suited in body and mind than a man to O pilot the first space ship. Serious Thinking "Q The expert is Kurt R. Steh- ling, rocket engineer with the Bell Aircraft Corp., Buffalo. N.Y. He realizes that speculation about women space-travelers might be taken as summertime light headedness, but he's been G doing some serious thinking 2 about it. "You have to be careful," he "A lot of it wo- g said in an interview. folks just can't picture men being pioneers in space, but G a lot of women will agree with you, even if the men don't." Stahling, asked at the outset to comment on a report that a well-educated woman probably would be the first human being to make a space flight, replied: "It might be very much so. I've thought about it, asked my self the question, talked about it with my wife and other peo ple, and considered it while look ing over the reports we get on space- medicine. "It's surprising how well ad justed a mechanism a woman is, as compared with a man. And the first time in a space ship, be lieve me, is going to be pretty rough. "Several things enter in. For one thing, it's been shown that women can take some of the physical conditions involved in space travel better than men they have ability to withstand acceleration, sudden changes of speed. Then, there's the respira tory factor. Smaller Lungs "Their lungs are not so big, so the amount of oxygen per unit pound of weight is not so much. In space, theres' no way to re plenish the air from the outside, and no way for radiation. Wo men's temperature is a little bit lower, they don't perspire as much, and they can adjust bet ter to sudden changes in tem perature." Of course, he added, it's ex tremely important to cut down the weight of a rocket, and de signers always are looking for ways to cut down the payload. A well-trained woman pilot weighing only 100 pounds would be a big saving in the load to be hoisted off the earth. "One big point is the psycho logical factor," Stahling said. "Women don't break under cer tain psychological strains, dur ing the way it was found., they stood up better to bombing and other homefront stresses. "In space, the absence of weight, for instance, might im pose a severe psychological strain." Myocardial Infarction Found To Mean Nothing To Some Medical Patients Tuesday, August 23, 19SS MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TJUIUR TtTM By DELOS SMITH United Pdess Science Writer New York U.R) A curious physician has found new evi dence that pain is not so much what it is as what it means. Pain is in some cases a myocardinal infarction, which is a mouth-filling phrase. But the myocardium simply is the muscu lar tissue of the heart and in fact is a patch of dead or dying tissue therein, caused by an in terruption in blood supply. To most people, myocardial pain means what five alarms mean a disaster is impending if it hasn't already happened. The curious physician has been studying people to whom myo cardial pains seems to mean nothing. Immune to Pain He is Dr. Walter E. Marchand, chief of medical service in the Veterans Administration psy chiatric hospital at Bedford, Mass. His people are psychotics victims of several mental dis orders. Of these people who have had myocardial infarctions since 1947, 8.25 per cent of them had their infarctions without pain an astonishing proportion to any heart doctor (as this writer found out by inquiry) and which should astonish any layman when he visualizes functioning heart mus cle and the sensations an infarct should produce. "I believe that psychotic pa tients, although they perceive painful sensations, do not react to pain because of the fact that the meaning of pain is actually lost to them," said Marchand in his report to the New England Journal of medicine. As he pointed out, there "is no wholly satisfactory explanation for such occurrences." Myocar dial infarction is without pain to a very small percentage of its victims in the mentally normal population. For his psychotic pa tients, he speculated that flaws in their body chemistry may have caused diffuse damage to cells of the brain cortex which "could account for the loss of meaning of pain." Behavior Change In the majority of his cases, CO Around Hollywood By ALINE MOSBY United Press Correspondent Editor's note: Aline Mosby Is vaca tioning. Today's guest columnist is a n new 20th Century-Fox actress im M? ported from England, Dana Wynter. She, writes about one facet of Holly O wood that usually amain foreigners the gossipy interest in a celebrity's personal life. By DANA WTTH1EH o Written for The. United Press Hollywood (U.R) There's a, only one thing in the United & States which has been very good for me that I'm afraid of. That is. the perennial gossip-and- rumor mill. 'it's very flattering to find my self, suddenly the center of col umnists' attentions wherever I go. I'm grateful for it. Proof of the value of publicity came to me shortly after I ar rived in New York. I'd done "Robert Montgomery" and "Sus pense" TV shows when a na tional magazine ran a layout on me. Director Philip Dunne saw it and suggested I be tested for a contract at 20th Century-Fox. Others saw it and my shows, and y I had offers from practically 6 every studio in Hollywood. It's Important o So I do know that publicity is important, but the personal o rumor type is what bothers me. And, believe me, the New York i rumor mill is no different from the Hollywood one. Every time I -lunched with an agent, a TV O director or producer, although it was made strictly business, it was made to sound strictly personal in the columns. But to be tagged as a playgirl when you're working like mad to learn your craft, to gather experience and credits, is dis concerting. You begin to won o der when you see yourself tag Q ged a "romantic twosome" with tt variety of men whether a producer thinking of employing o you won't classify you as too 0 interested in the social butterfly life to concentrate on a part. No Safety in Numbers A classic example of the ru mor mill came when I went to my first Hollywood premiere at Grauman's Chinese Theater. It was the charity opening of "Daddy Long Legs," and my es corts were Gregory Ratoff, Leon Shamroy and Richard Todd all very happily married men. I naturally thought there was safety from rumors in numbers. But next thing I knew there was a column item to the effect that Richard Todd and British actress Dana Wynter had ignited. Richard and his wife and I happen to be old chums. Since he had returned to Hollywood for a single day's added scene with Bette Davis for "The Vir gin Queen," Mrs. Todd remained in London. Richard flew home next morning to join her. No Femme Fatale While I'm naturally excited about playing a femme fatale who falls in love with a man she knows is married in "The View From Pompey's Head," I don't fancy being tagged one in real life. And when my agent, Charles Feldman, takes me to a dinner party where I can meet motion picture people who might think of me for future roles, that doesn't make us "a romantic duo." Please don't misunderstand. At this point. I'm most grateful for any notice I receive. But why not hold the romantic ru mors until they're warranted, or even interesting?

It is usually the over-active or mentally disturb ed patient who suddenly be comes docile or quiet who is suspected of having some acute medical or surgical illness, and in the four cases cited this proved to be acute myocardial infarction."

But, the newspaper pointed out, three-quarters of German girls wear nylons, an institution unknown in Germany before the Americans arrived. symptoms whatever, One was taken to the acute medical ward because his skin was bluish and he was laboring for his breath.
