GOP Chief
Confident
By RAY CROMLEY
WASHINGTON 'NEAl You,
too, can be a superman. No
tonics. No pills. No exercises. I
But you mighl have to join the
Army.
Quartermaster Corps scientists
are beginning to push for the de
velopment of a fantastic metal
skeleton which a GI would wear
around his body. It would give
him super strength, endurance
and mobility.
As a GI moved his hands,
arms, legs and feet, the power;
mechanism in this skeleton would
be "automatically activated" to
multiply his strength in much the
same way as power brakes and
power steering increase the pow
er of a car driver.
If the Superman gadget works
out as hoped, an ordinary soldier
could carry six to eight times as
heavy a load, push 10 to 20 times
as hard, twist with his wrist 50
times as strongly, grip five times
as firmly as he can now.
The "skeleton," it's now be
lieved, would consist of splint
like attachments about the arms,
body and legs. These attach
ments would pivot at shoulders,
elbows, wrists, hips, knees and
ankles. The wearer could climb.
