E&OPL4NT- s I irs NEVER Frozen By BILL JENKINS It was suggested last week by a Dr. Sydney Bausor that space men of the future could be placed in a state of suspended animation through a process of freezing to enable them to take journeys to far flung planets. The process is described as be ing one of lowering the metabolic rate by chemical processes, then quick freezing the body and freeze- drying it. Then at some future date the proper stimulus would be applied, the fellow would come back to life and start out just as if he had come out of a deep sleep. A machine-made Rip Van Win kle. It is the contention of Dr. Baus or that some planets are so far out in space that a rocket ship traveling .at the rate of 25.000 miles per hour would take hun dreds of years to reach them. Since no one has succeeded in passing the multi-hundred mark of longevity yet it would seem that we are cither going to have to find some method of suspended animation or design faster rocket chips. On the whole I should think that the faster ships would be the answer. And much pleasantcr for the crews involved. But with a few modifications I can see great potentialities for Dr. Bausor's idea. If he can perfect the human deep-freeze to the point where it can be easily and quickly applied by do-it-yourself means and for short and measurable periods of time he is in the chips. Think of what a wonderful world It would be if we had a quick freeze pill that could be taken at will. Various pills, in fact, for varying lengths of time. A one hour pill, a two hour pill, a three day pill, a six month pill and so forth. It would mean the end of such boredom, protracted ennui would be a thing of the past. A sort of super tranquilizer. If you were stuck at a family picnic, a dull lecture or a boring business meet you could slip down a quick pill, retreat to the land of frozen dreams and then come out of it in time for the applause and the goodbyes. When the recessions came along you could freeze your assets in a bank and yourself in a time chamber until it was all over. Humans could emulate the bear and go to bed for the winter, slumbering along in dreamland in stead of shoveling snow. If only one member of a family wished to hibernate it would cause no confusion around the house since storage would be no prob- , lem. Merely put daddy to sleep and tuck him away in the freezer until May. He would only be trad Ing the possibility of freezer burn for blistered hands. One cold run to tho family astrologist and if things looked tough, if the horoscope was dis couraging, you could freeze your self and thus escape the spiteful thrusts of fate. Oh, there are unlimited possi bilitics for the thing. The whole thing is to get it perfected on a do-it-yourself basis Why, a three hour pill sold at the door of the opera would at tract enough male trade to make a man rich in only two seasons And think of what a boon it would be during an election year. If it would work on animals think what it could dn for the cattle industry alone? When con ditions weren't right you could freeze whole rattle, stack them up in the cool depths of the barn and wait until the rains brought the grass again. Or the price was right. The possibilities are almost un limited. I think Dr. Rausor should go to work on it right away. By next winter anyway. This is the closest thing to re lief from a snow shovel 1 can think ol. SiriVwiilli Scrmvltt By HAL BOYLE NEW YOHK (API Sidewalk scrawls of a pavement Plato: The stars will never look the same to us again. In troubled times in the past a man has always been able to walk out Into the night, turn his face skyward to the stars and tell him self, "l'p there is quiet. ..peace.. serenity." Somehow, in his own loneliness, the lonely sky has al ways comforted him. But. ..never again never, never never! Dr. Harlow Shapley, retired di rector of the Harvard College Ob servatory, has destroyed lorevcr our cherished myth that the sky was either lonely or serene. Lonely? Why it turns out that the heaven it moie a ended Uuu a beehive, or a ball park during a free Sunday doubleheader. Dr. Shapley, who rates the earth as a lowly mudball circling around a third rate star (our sum, estimates there may be 100 quin tillion stars in the known universe. That, friend, is 100,000.000,000,000, 000,000. But, hold on. There's worse to come. Man has long speculated there may be forms of life on one or two of our neighboring planets. This is a piker's view to Dr. Shapley. He figures that if even only one out of every trillion stars in the universe has conditions roughly similar to those of our sun, then there may be 10 mil lion planetary systems with life on them. We don't know how this possi bility affects you, but we do know how it has affected us. Ever since reading Dr. Shapley's estimate we have been dreaming, not of see ing flying saucers, but whole fly ing pantries. The heavens may house vaster griefs than any we have known but may get to know later. A hundred million different planets may have different kinds of life in a hundred million dif ferent stages. Some may have people much as ourselves, occupying themselves as they whirl through space with such diversions as children, mort gages, Bingo and wars. Some may have people even more advanced than ourselves, people who have lost the art of locomotion altogether, but devel oped two heads so they can think through their problems better. ' Personally when we go out alone at night now here's what we do. We close our eyes, turn up our face, cup our hands to our mouth and holler, "Halloo, up there! Halloo!" So far, we arc glad to report, we have had no answer. But we have lost our old fine feeling of fellowship for the stars. They have become strangers for ever. Slinky FraiK By SAM DAWSON NEW YORK (AP) - One of Gen. de Gaulle's first tasks will be to try to bolster the shaky franc. French officials say that in in ternational payments to settle for eign trade, France is near bank ruptcy. Its participation in the European Common Market with five other nations is at slake. At home the franc's problem is that old familiar one the rising cost of living which steadily erodes its value. That the U.S. dollar doesn't buy as much now as in 1!M7 is no news to Americans. But for Frenchmen the depreciation of money has been much worse. In a study of what's happened in the last 10 years to the buying power of the currency of 24 coun tries, economists of the First National City Bank of New York measure the depreciation of money by the rise in the official cost of living or consumer price index. The rates of depreciation vary- widely year by year but the economists have compounded them and average them out to give an annual rate. Taking the French franc's mar ket value at an arbitrary 100 in l!M7, they find that by the end of 1957 it was worth 56, or a decline of 6.2 per cent a year. By comparison, the U.S. dollar, if valued at too in 1!M7. had dropped to SO, for an annual de cline of 2.2 per cent. Switzerland has the best record. But even its currency's value went down by 12 per cent a year and now stands at !) on the bank's index. Poqo l' wAtKM Tut uv v,t vets ft) rt '9 esta OVt O- u UINt TpyTj3 .A"-" shew wiiABogyr, Next best were Germany and Venezuela, each with an annual decline of 1.5 per cent. The United States is fourth, fol lowed by India with 2.3 per cent drop, Belgium 2.6 per cent, Italy 3 per cent, and Canada 3.5 per cent. Although Canada's dollar now commands a premium over the U.S. dollar in foreign exchange, its depreciation measured by the Canadian cost of living broight it from the index figure of 100 in 1947 to 70 at the eid of 1957. Fourteenth down on the list is the United Kingdom. Britain's fight against inflation has been losing over the 10 years at an annual rate of 4.7 per cent and its currency now stands at 62 on the index. Four South American countries have been hardest hit of the 24. Chile stands at the bottom of the list, its currency depreciating at an annual rate of 25.5 per cent, bringing it Sown on the index from 100 in 1047 to 5 as last year ended Argentina's annual loss was 16.5 per cent and Brazil's 12.1 pef Peru's money dropped to 37 in the 10 years, an annual loss of 9.5 per cent. Brazil is particularly hard hit at the present time, with a threat ening financial crisis. But France's problem, if less drastic over the years, is real enough right now. At home, De Gaulle's problem will be to try to curb further wage aqd price rises. Abroad, it will be to seek some way out of the international payments crisis. American businessmen note that this may very well stymie the European Common Market, sup posed to get under way at the end of the year. France, West Germany, Italy the Netherlands, Belgium and Luxembourg are scheduled to start a slow move toward remov al of all trade and travel bar riers between themselves. With France currently unable to meet its financial obligations in foreign trade, the whole scheme could be delayed. Still CoiifiisiMl By JAMES MARLOW , Associated Press News Analyst WASHINGTON (AP) - Presi dent Eisenhower's plan for ex tending unemployment pay his most eye-catching anti-recession move was born in confusion and is still confused, thanks to help from the Democratic-run Con gress which approved it. He was expected to sign it into law today. Originally, it was sup posed to apply to all 48 states. In its finished form probably no more than six states, those heavi est hit by unemployment, will make use of it. It's possible this new law will prove to be so thoroughly fouled up that Congress although it doesn't have much time left this year will want to junk it and do something both clearer and more beneficial. Before looking at the confusion, this is the background: Each state has its own way of handling unemployment pay, We dding how much a jobless man can draw and for how many weeks. So the payments vary from state to state and the weeks of pay range from 16 to 31. In most states the maximum is 26 weeks. States tax employers to provide money for unemployment pay in their individual states. The money in all these state funds now totals uroimd eight billion dollars. So the slates could increase the amount of unemployment pay and extend the number of weeks. They could, if they wanted to. But none were doing it during this recession, although manv thou- sands of jobless people were usin up all the pay and weeks allowed them. Eisenhower decided to stick needle in the states by proposing that the federal government pro vide money to all states to extend unemployment pay to those job less workers who had exhausted all the weeks due them. He called some governors to the White House for a conference on his idea. They came away uncer tain about what he had in mind, some thinking he intended the fed eral money to be a grant, or gift and not a loan. They told newsmen they thought their states could accept a grant without trouble. But before they could accept a loan, they said thev thought their state leeisla tures might have to be called info session to approve. What Eisenhower nad in mind as it turned out, was a loan, not a grant, with the loan to be paii back after four years. Repayment could come either from available funds or from a higher tax on em ployers. Ho proposed: Congress should vote about. 600 million dollars so states could extend by 50 per cent their maximum number of weeks of payment to jobless workers who had used up their rights. For example: A state with a present 26-week maximum could keep on paying a jobless man for another 13 weeks. This didn't sit too well with some states, since they nad enough money in their funds to ex tend the number of weeks without getting a loan from Uncle Sam Besides, the thought of eventually boosting the tax on employers to pay back an unneeded loan wasn'i too pleasant. One inducement for attracting new industries to state is a low unemployment pay- tax rate. Some Democrats and Republi cans thought the help to the states should be a grant and not a loan Some wanted permanent legisla tion by Congress to increase the maximum number of weeks of un employment pay, and make them uniform. Out of this mish-mash of ideas came the final bill approved by Congress. It included the original Eisenhower proposal a loan and a 50 per cent extension in weeks- plus a gimmick added by Con gress. This, instead of forcing states to accept a loan, would leave it up to them to decide whether they wanted it. Since most states have enough money in their funds with out going into debt to the govern ment, most are not expected to accept. And those who do accept may- have to call special sessions of their legislatures or perhaps even amend their constitutions. So what looked impressive if confused, starting out, now look: not only confused but a fizzle. By United Press International PARIS General Charles de Gaulle, threatening to quit unles: the balky National Assembly quickly approved his constitution al reform plan: "If the National Assembly . . opens a long-drawn-out discussion on the Constitution, this govern ment would have no point in ex isting and another would have to take over from it and carry on this debate."
