4 10 MAIL TRIBUNE, Medford, Or. Monday, Jan. 18, 1960 Superman Race Seen by Doctor Within 50 Years Los Angeles-UPD-A medical leader says that within 50 years human beings could de velop into a race of supermen with perfect health, high in telligence and a life expectan cy of 125 years. ; Dr. E. Vincent Askey, president-elect of the American Medical Association, said mankind stands at the thresh hold of an age in which he will be able to control evolu tion. "Before long man will pos sess the knowledge to plan the intelligence, physique and other characteristics of his offspring," Askey said. This control will include predetermining the weight, height, mental capacity and even color of hair and eyes of a child, he said. "Until now we've been leaving such matters as here dity to n a t u r e," he said. "We've had only a few mild experiments in eugenics and controlled mating. Askey said he considered it "no wild speculation ' to as sume that structure of chrom osomes which determines the hereditary characteristics of a human being soon will be subject to control through ra diation. "In this way we could eas ily eradicate hereditary de fects, and produce a race which would have a life ex pectancy of 125 or more years combined with high mental capacity," he said.
