Dr. John S. Lundy, senior consultant in the section on anesthesiology at the Mayo Clinic, Rochester, spoke glowingly of the potentialities of the anesthetic, Do-litrone, but stressed that it was still very much in the experimental stage.

Injected intravenously in the arm, it gives the patient complete freedom from pain, he said. "In larger quantities, it produces anethesla total unconsciousness," he explained. "Lesser amounts produce analgesia, in which the patient can respond to commands but remembers nothing. Amnesia comes from even smaller amounts." Produces Amnesia Dr. Lundy said the drug of fers all kinds of possibilities and may be just the answer to the search by international agencies for an anesthetic that will produce amnesia.

Asked if he thought a simi lar drug was used on Red-held prisoners of war, he said he doubted it. or my worc, can pro duce amnesia, ne explained. Thus, the patient has no memory of his experiences with the dentist. Its effect has many of the character istics of hypnosis but it can't be called that."

Combat Planes Like Missiles Seen in Future Combat aircraft of the future will resemble guided missiles and may fly at speeds, six times that of sound and operate at altitudes up to feet, the aeronautical sec tion of the Society of Automotive Engineers was told yesterday at the Statler. Ervin R. Heald, design spe cialist for the Douglas El Se- gundo division, said the con figuration of forthcoming high-altitude planes will be dictated by the reduced air density of great heights and extreme speeds necessary for practical flight operations. Fuselages, he said, will be long and slim and tail sur-1 faces will be lower than on today's designs.

"There is every reason to believe," he commented, "that combat aircraft will approach altitudes of 100,000 feet in the not too distant future. The design specialist considered stability and control problems at high altitude and posed a tough problem for aerial tacticians of the future. ditorium.

Coprrlflit, 1951, br Itta tM nology, said yesterday. Speaking to aircraft engi neers attending the aeronau- tic section meeting of the So ciety of Automotive Engi neers In the Statler, Dr. Du Bridge declared the United States "already is beyond the point where it can waste scientific and other intellectual talent.

"We know that demand for scientific and engineering talent will increase for many years to come," Dr. DuBridge explained, "while supply cannot increase indefinitely. No matter "what we do, we must soon or later learn to con serve such talent and use it most effectively. Encourage Them "And most important, we must always seek out the handful of men of the very highest talent and encourage and give them the maximum of freedom and support. We can stand a shortage of the lesser talents if only the few too men can be found and used." Talent must be conserved in the colleges themselves, the Caltech president pointed out.

If a student finds a rigor- ous school too hard for him, he need not give up his ca reer but should transter to an easier school. Encouraging more young people to enter college or to laKe up SCieniiuu or icuiuiitoi studies is a long-range approach to the shortage of top talent, Dr. DuBridge said, but 'conservation and budgeting of existing talent can be accomplished at once.
