ice) The soldier of the future
will be an unrecognizable
mass of scientific equipment
in welded nylon underwear.
. He will carry a tiny radio
his helmet. A plastic mask
will protect his face against
tha host nf nuclear blasts. At
tached to his helmet will be
a pair of infrared binoculars,
and he will be clothed in
welded nylon underwear to
ward off shrapnel and bullets.
His mobility will be in
creased by a rocket belt
around his waist. And he will
carry with him an explosive
fox-hole digger.
Representative by ISSS
Tomorrow's GI was dis
played here at the annual
meeting of the Association of
the U.S.. Army According to
Capt. Howard H. Osserman of
the Combat Development Ex
periment Center, Ft. Ord,
-Calif., this soldier will be rep
resentative of the infantry by
1flfi5
Specifically, here is the sol
dier's new equipment, most
of which is under develop
ment: f
tvio nnc.nnnnrf transistor-
A . J f " -
ized radio, built into his hel
met, has a quarter-mile trans
mitting range. He will receive
at greater range by affixing a
more powerful antenna to the
helmet.
Trio rnclrpt belt will assist
him over streams and other
obstacles. Fully equipped, ne
normally can broad jump
about 10 feet. With the belt,
which provides a downward
thrust, he can leap five times
farther. If he is faced with a
plunge off a 50-foot cliff, he
ha ahli to give his rock
ets a "squirt" of downward
blast and cushion his landing.
Capt. Osserman told Science
Service a more powerful rock
et belt, under development,
will come close to making a
human missile of the soldier.
Infrared Flashlight
Along with his infrared bi
noculars, the future GI will
carry an muucu iiu"Bt.
This is a modification -of the
snooperscope used by U.S.
troops in jvorea " dv-
enemy at night. In addition,
v.. will have an image meta-
scope slung on nis cnesi xnat
will warn nun wnm ue
been spotted by enemy infra.
His fox-hole digger will be
a tube supported by three
legs. The legs are jammed
into the ground, a fuse is ig
nited, and a shaped charge is
fired into the terrain. It ex
plodes out a hole about three
feet in diameter and three
. -feet Hppn.
JJis protective face mask is
ma h nf impregnated vinyl
cloth. It will prevent burns at
a reasonable distance from
nuclear explosions. His hands
will be covered by molded
plastic gloves.
Sixteen layers of spot-welded
nylon will give him a set of
underwear weighing about
nine nounds. However, it will
resist puncture by some shrap
nel and bullets.
Pictures Taken of
Dog to Find Owner
Stockton, Calif. - (Science
Service)-A picture is better
than a "pinch," dog catchers
here have found.
Instead of "pinching" a dog
found running loose and tak
ing it into the pound, the dog
catcher photographs the pup,
develops the picture on the
spot and canvasses the neigh
: borhood for the owner.

icel-PeoDle who nave naa
their larynx removed may re-
gain fluent speech with an
"oral vibrator" devised by a
British dental surgeon, the
British Information Services
reported here.
The oral vibrator, carried
inside the mouth in the center
of an artificial plate, is pow
ered by minute battertes oper
ated by a button and designed
to lit in the wearer's pocket.
The inventor. Dr. R. T. Tait
of Rackmansworth, Hertford
