Wearing practically no clothing. they have been living in near freezing temperatures, with their every movement scrutinized and their every word monitored. The purpose of their voluntary solation, at Lankenau Hospital, is to determine the cnecis oi tem perature and moisture on tiody I hanges and disease, and ot diet under prolonged cold. The test subjects have included artists, gas station attendants, truck drivers and college students if they pass rigid physical and psychological examinations. Clad only iu socks and shorts, the subjects spend as long as 10 days in a precisely controlled en vironmental test suite built for Lankenau by Tenney Engineering Inc., of Union, N.J. Temperature in the main room is kept constant at 44 degrees but, because the subjects are lightly clothed, it's the same as if they were living in an arctic 40-below with ade quate garb. Wrapped In Wires Each subject is harnessed with a maze of wires that signal every bodily change.

No Bigger Bargain Tliere probably isn't a bigger bargain in the world than this yacht since it would cost close to $10 million to duplicate it. The catch is that it requires a crew of at least 80 men Trujillo had 120 and its operation and main- tenance would cost around $1,000 dollars per day in addition to the crew's salaries, complete set of Kails for the thin would cost nround $30,000 and It, would lake 113.(100 dollars worth of paint to point the hull alone So It's no wonder that the "Patria" has found no customers. Trujillo bought It from former U. S. ambassador to Moscow Jo seph E. Davies in 1055 for a re ported $2.3 million. He overhauled the enlire ship, spending $l.a mil-, linn for new diesel engines to givel XV furniture and other such nice ties. After it was all done, the prob lem was what to do with it. The Dominican dictator already had a 280-foot steam yacht which he seldom used because he actually halted the sea. Resides, Trujillo PICK SITE TUESDAY WASHINGTON IUPII - The site of the Democratic National Convention next year will be chosen by the party's national committee here on Tuesday. National Chairman John M. Bailey said Thursday the commit tee will select the site. from bids submitted by Atlantic City, Balti more, Detroit, Chicago, Miami Beach-Miami, Philadelphia and San rrancisco. MR CONDITIONING World's first practical Installs lion for controlled indoor weather was made by Willis Carrier in 1902 in a Brooklyn printing plant, where humidity was causing color plates lo print "off-register" in hot weather, resulting in the colors overlapping. The Angclita thus was destined as a week-end pleasure ship that would cruise always within five miles of the Dominican coasts, Becomes Boring In a couple of years the routine of weekend cruising became, bor ing to the dictator. He turned the Angelita over to his eldest son. Ramfis. an inter national playboy who liked to in vitc the Hollywood set for ex tended cruises in the Pacific and would wind up his parties by fly ing all his guests to the Domini can Republic. The yacht was all but forgotten in the political crisis that followed Ihe elder Tnijillo's assassination. But a few months later, the crew began gearing up the ship or a long voyage. Large wooden boxes were brought aboard in the middle of the night. One contained the body of the slain dictator. Three other boxes held $20 mil lion each in U. S. and Dominican currency. The rest carried gold and art treasures of the Trujillo family Ramfis and a few relatives set sail quietly one night, leaving! chaos behind. Then the officers and the crew mutinied and the playboy and his family were al lowed to disembark on a British- owned island in the Caribbean. They had to leave behind all thel black boxes except the one con taining the remains of tile die- tator. Railroad Arrives Late To Save Little Hamlet GAINESVILLE. Miss. lUPIl This village died to make way for a boom. Its one general store, two churches and a handful of homes and fishing camps on the banks of the Pearl River that divides Mississippi and Louisiana have vanished. Two graveyards are about to be moved tombstone by tomb stone, grave by grave. A railroad which the thriving Gainesville of the 1880 s needed but could not obtain crccped into the area recently. It was years too late lo save a little ham let near which Andrew Jackson camped in 1814 on his way to the Battle of New Orleans. Once A Trading Hub Gainesville was once a trading hub of south Mississippi. Fast packets ran up and down the Pearl to New Orleans. And the virgin honey island torest and swamps along the river were hid ing places for such rogues as Pierre Ramcau whose small band of pirates raided Gulf Coast ship ping. Ramcau, in a surge of patri otism, loaned a number of his boats to Jackson's army. Down the river a few miles lies Logtown, another boom town of the past. Its sawmills turned out millions of feet of lumber and sent it away on river barges to build thousands of homes. Logtown, Miss., now a sleepy fishing mecca, will die within a .year. Its tiny post oltice. tew stores and two schools will disap- car. These two villages one dead and the other dying are making way for part of the gigantic American project to put men on the moon in 1968. $500 Million Facility Rising in the flat scrub pine land in south Mississippi 35 miles northeast of New Orleans is a $500 million facility that the Na tional Aeronautics arid Space Ad ministration I NASA I will use to static test, or ground fire, the mighty Saturn V rocket that this country is banking on to w in the race with the Russians to the moon. After testing here, the 350- foot tall rockets will be moved to Cape Canaveral, Fla., for the ac tual blastoff into space. The death of two villages, and several hundred homes in a sur rounding "buffer zone is mourned bv those who had to pack their belongings and relo cate. But an area 20 miles around the 141,000 acre site is beginning to stir. A boom period is coming. Three cities nearest the Missis sippi test facility, as NASA calls it. are bracing for it.

Lankenau's chamber of discom fort consists of a combination living-dining room, about the size of a master bedroom, and an ex ercise room. In the living room, sleeping they must lie on cots without mattresses because a mat tress is a form of insulation. To provide a minimal amount of warmth for sleeping, a single military-type blanket is provided. Twice a day, the subjects take a "walk" on a treadmill in the exercise room. A nurse brings food at regular intervals four tightly controlled experimental di ets. Each subject must consume all the food served to him. Temperature Varies The rooms, in which the tem perature can range from 40 de- grew lo a scorching 120 degrees Fahrenheit, are kept at the noise level of a quiet hospital room. They are screened against elec trical interference, so that the deli" cate measuring apparatus will not be disturbed. The experiments have shown that regardless of the differences in diet, a marked deterioration oc curs by the fifth day. At that point all shiver almost continuous ly, their pulse rates rise an aver age of 28 beats a minute and they all suffer some degree of cold in jury, in the form of painful ex tremities.

Roosevelt signed into law the Civil Aeronautics Act leglsla tion that created a Civil Aero nautics Board (CAB) with com plete authority over the nation's airlines.) By ROBERT J.

(Twenty-five years later they were carrying more than 60 mil lion passengers, the transcontin ental trips were down to less than five hours, and supersonic flight of only two hours was a formal government-industry project.

But the industry was well aware that the air travel market was untapped. One study showed that while the total number of passengers carried was just under 2 million, only about 200.000 ac tually flew enough times to reach the 2 million figure.
