Astronauts have it easy com- cause fasler heart and respi-' A miniature package of
pared to freeway drivers in ration rates among motorists I electronic equipment design
California, than astronauts experience at jed by Hughes Aircraft co. was
I developed to register heart
rate, respiration and galvanic
skin response (GSR).
"Comparing our data ob
tained on the freeways with
official reports on the astro
nauts' condition shows that
the average civilian cruising
in 60-mile-an-hour congested
traffic is likely to be more
tense than a highly skilled
astronaut cruising in his ?pace
capsule," said Robert M. De
Haven, manager of the
Hughes Flight Test division.
Nearing Panic
Years of California freeway
driving conditions a motorist
: to appear calm and stoic when
I if the truth were known, he
is nearing panic.
John G. Appel, 41, a plant
! safety engineer for Hughes,
! was one civilian "guinea pig"
I used in the traffic experi
! ments. He has been driving
' 14 miles on the freeways
, daily to and from work for
j the past three years.
! "While driving in ordinary
street- traffic Appel's heart
rate was a calm 79 and Ms
GSR reading showed him to
1 be- relaxed and at ease," re-
ported DeHaven.
"As he drove up the on
! ramp, Appel's heart rate ro:
rapidly until it reached 111
beats per minute as he enter
ed the heavy flow of traffic.
At the same time his GSR
peaked violently, showing a
sharp rise in tension."
Pulse Jumped
The pulse rate GSR jump
ed every time Appel changed
lanes, applied the brakes r
reacted to another vehicle
cutting in front of him. The
respiration rate rose gradual
ly during the test. It reached
a peak of 27 breaths per min
ute and averaged 20.5.
The breath rate for astro
nauts John Glenn or Scott
Carpenter never excelled 18
during space ventures. Their
heart rates in orbit ranged
from 80 to 90 for Glen., and
00 to 94 for Carpenter.

entered freeway lanes his
heart rate jumped to 115
Prior to the tests it was 79.
His respiration rate ranged
from 19 to 24.
Jarred Visibly
"When a tire blowout was
simulated by popping a pa
per bag in the back seat,
both subjects were jarred vis
ibly," DeHaven said. "Respi
ration was interrupted, heart
rate rose sharply and GSR
peaked so violently the indi
cator jumped completely ff
its scale. Momentarily, they
were m a state of panic.
Neither Glenn nor Carpen
ter experienced heart rates
as high as 155 during blast
off in their space-bound cap
sules.

Forest Service
Asks to Reserve
Recreation Lands
An application to reserve
approximately 220 acres of
public land in the Rogue Riv
er, Umatilla and Willamette
National forests for public
recreation and administrative
purposes has been filed by the
forest service, according to
the bureau of land manage
ment. Present campgrounds have
been found inadequate to
meet the increased number of
visitors to Oregon national
forest areas, the BLM states.
Through its land office, the
BLM is responsible for any
reservations of public lands
by any federal agency.
The forest service requested
the BLM Portland Land of
fice to set aside approximate
ly 100 acres in the Umatilla
National forest for develop
of six additional camp
grounds. The plan is to devel
op these areas under a five
year project.
Two Campgrounds
Two campgrounds on Car
berry Creek are in the plan
ning for the areas in the
Rogue River National forest.
At present there are no camp
grounds in the immediate
areas and they are needed to
provide facilities for present
and future recreation.
In the Willamette National
forest improvements have
been placed on the Pearl
Creek administrative site, in
cluding a guard station. The
forest service wants the 40
acre area reserved to protect
the government s investment,
according to Stanley D. Les
ter, land office manager.
Lester said the forest serv
ice requests that the land be
closed to location and entry
under the general mining
j laws subject to valid existing
i claims.
Detailed Description
I A detailed description of
the affected land will be pub
lished in the federal register.
It will also be posted in the
BLM land office in Portland,
the BLM district offices in
Baker, Salem and Medford,
the courthouses at Medford,
Pendleton, Heppner and Sa
lem and in local post offices.
The public is being given
30 days from the date of pub
lication in which to comment
on the proposal, Lester said.
Written comments should be
sent to manager, land office,
bureau of land management,
U.S. Department of the In
terior, 710 NE Holladsy,
