By JOSEPH L. MYLER UPI Correspondent Washington -UPD- Scientists have voiced optimism that the successful missile flight .of monkeys Able and Baker shows that human beings, too, can safely venture into space. One warned, however, that "it is dangerous to extrapo late from monkeys to men." By that he meant that .what might be easy for a monkey might be harder on a man. But Able and Baker have established that small mon keys, at least, can withstand fantastically abrupt changes -including multiplication of their weight 38 times-with no yet discernible ill effects. "One can reasonably hope," said. Col. Robert Holmes of the Army research ad devel opment command, that the same thing will apply to hu mans. We can be optimistic. We have to be cautious." Holmes and 20 other offi cials and scientists of the Army, Navy and the National Aeronautics and Space admin istration shared the klieg lights at a news conference in which Able and Baker were the top attractions. Ordeal Worse 100 reporters and photogra phers were told, the news con ference ordeal was considera bly worse than the 15-minute ride they took early Thurs day aboard the nose cone of a Jupiter intermediate range ballistic missile fired from Cape Canaveral, Fla. For one thing, they were alone to all intents and pur poses during their 300-mile-high, 1,700-mile-long flight. Although side by side, they were housed in different cap sules and neitherknew of the other's nearnessO For another, they made their 10,000-mile-an-hour trip in a comfortable temperature of only 84 degro Fahrenheit. On the platfornTat the NASA conference room, with the lights beating down, the tem perature was abo;g) 100 degrees. On Thursday they becairig) foe jorld s first ballistic mis sile astronauts.

FacQ Discl For the first timg) since tSey Cere fished out of the Atlantic north oAntigua land before dawn on Thurs day some of the facts about their reactions were disclosed. These facts were reported by radio from surgicajly pianted QecQodes which eg- lsierea sucn tnings as neart beat and breathing. , Capt. Ashton Gryabiel ofj the Navy Aviation Sxhool oil Medicine, Pensacola,vla., re ported, what th) radio waves said about thjjmonkeys phys iological reactions on the way up, during. th6) nine minuses of "zero gravity," or weight lessness, and th immensely greater ordeal of re-entry into the atmosphere and impact into the ocean. 1 . The physiological changes throughout the flight were ex traordmarUyrcmall," he. said. For Able.The seven-pound rhesus monkey, the heart rate is normally 130 to 180 beats per minute. On Thursday,, during blaHoff and burnout of the Jupi5r's roqket, when the force ofgravity .reached a peak of 15 times normal, Abie's heart rate rose from 140 to 175 beats per-minute. ai ine peas ox tne rocKet s utk ward thrust, his apparem weight jumped from the nor mal seven pounds to 105. Rale Increases At zero gravity during weightlessness Abie's heart rate fell back to 134. Then when the nose cone, with its special heat-absorbing coat, plunged back into the heavy atmosnhere and wasjhnmtw braked by air friivm, ttffif rate leaped to 222. . This was the most dra matic change," Graybiel said. Abie's breathing rate rose from 20 to 30 a minute dur ing the lifting period, fel back to 20 during weightless ness, and jumped briefly to 66 on impact. It was expiated that the gravity peak, when Abie's seven-pound ypight was mul tiplied 38 timerto 266 pounds, lasted only a fraction of a second. Part of the shock was absorbed by the fiber-glass coucM padded with two inch es ofrfoam rubber, on hich she was held in Q $fcu-jprone position. Throughout the (grief fljpht, the carefully conditioned cap sules in which the monkevs rode varied almost noWt all in temperature $nd pressure. The scientists appeared to consider this almost impor tant as the fact that the mon keys' reactions, werej within safe limits. O E.ria Environment The engjQeers, wording una vironment" for Able and Baker. Colonel Holmes said that while it is dangerous to com pare animals with man (al though human beings and monkeys are both classified as "primates"), it neverthe less "is encouraging to think that an animal can be exposed to space conditions without undue changes in basal physi ology." . But as Walter T. Bonney of the NASA pointed out, "we have a great deal still to learn" before sending men along the same trail that Able and Baker successfully nego tiated. The NASA hopes by some time in 1961 to put its so called "Mercury astronauts," seven test pilots now under going preliminary training, into a satellite orbiting the earth. But at this stage, there is "still too much risk" involv ed to think of putting a man in a Jupiter nose cone and mMmlmMm: I fYancisco industrialist, has offered the city donation C r otkwo fiillion dollars to help rebuild the San Francisco Pae of Fine Arts (shown in background).

It is, however, NASA's plan to launch its Mercury pilots on ballistic flights of a few hundred miles before"putting one of them in orbit. The Thursday project in cluded a host of other experi ments, on the cellular level, on the effect of "space stress es" and cosmic radiation. It will he days, weeks, or month!? before the results of most of these are known. Not a Stunt NASA Director T. Keith Glennan promised that "when these results become availa ble, they will be made avail able" for publication. Glen nan said that the Able-Baker flight was "in no way a stunt" but rather "a serious scientific activity." No one could say whether more advanced experiments were in the works. Bonney said this one was made possi ble because the Army had "space available" on one of its Jupiter nose cone tests. One of theQpamples sent aloft on Thursday was 25 cu bic centimeters of human blood. With some reluctance the NASA put the finger on the man who supplied the blood. Jre was Capt. William Sin clair Augerson, a 32-year-old, six-foot native of Ellenviile, N. Y., who has been ' loaned. by the Army Medical Cor to the JNAbA. The scientists want to know what happens to the red cells of blood and to its ability to coagulate un der the peculiar conditions encountered in space. Augerson, who appeared more upset than Able or Bak er over disclosure of his role, expostulated that the impor tant thing about a space blood sample is "where it's going, not where it came from." He remarked that "I used to sell it when I was medical stu- aeni. it is type u, tii nega- ve. : I-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-: . .av:-.... -fc. fLi A- fli.
