Your senses swim in confusion and you feel yourself tipping toward the floor, helplessly, for apparently no reason whatsoever.

Can Affoe Senses We found they can smear your coordination, trick your eyesight, wreck your equilibrium, dizzy your brain, stumble your walk, tumble you like a drunk and sicken you beyond control unless you maintain a stiffj upper lip! But we found also that you can learn to live with these vertigo forces, that your confused brain begins after awhile, to adapt to this strange vortex of sensory disruption and tells you how to combat It.

At Astronautics, home of the Atlas ICBM, a team of scientists and doctors is in vestigating the physical ef fects imposed on man by artificial gravity, with a goal of defining engineering re quirements lor space sys terns design. If artificial gravity la re quired space, it will be established by rotation of a spacecraft in some manner to exert centrifugal force and thus simulate earth's gravity. The problem ig to define the optimum speed and ra dius of rotation and the de gree of system stability required to permit maximum performance by an in space. It may be, of course, that artificial gravity will not be! needed, that astronauts can live and work for extended periods in the weightless space environment without ill effect t-. But scientists and medical experts suspect that such simulation will be required to prevent (1) atrophy in anti-gravltymuscles through disuse, (2) loss of bone calcium through lack of! gravity pressure.

Perhaps the bastion manned by the most confi dent commanders, and which bristles with the most powerful defenses, is the Archdiocese of Los Angeles.

Its supreme commander, James Francis Cardinal Mc- Intyre, shows no sign of doubt that Catholie schools are here to stay, and that they will educate a larger percentage of Southern Cali fornia children in the counties of Loa Angeles, Ventura, Orange and Santa Bar bara as time goes on. New high school are being opened. The latest is Paraclete High between Second ia a Series Lancaster and Palmdale. Another new one is St Bon- aventure High in Ventura. Other new high schools are already under construe- tion or in the planning stage in Santa Maria.

Lancaster and Dairy Valley. Marywood High in Ana heim will move to a bigger campus this year. Mary Star of the Sea High School in San Pedro is doubling its size this year and next. It is the same with elemen tary schools, which now enroll almost 200,000 students in the archdiocese. Seven new schools opened last fall and 100 new class rooms were added to older schools.

At least many new schools will open next year. Thus Los Angeles' voice is among the loudest that say there is no cause for alarm in the educational system of the church by far the largest school system ever created by any organization other than a gov ernment These voices deplore re cent actions and proposals in 15 dioceses across the na tion to cut- out classroom teaching in the lower grades and send pupils to public schools Instead. Matter of Money Some schools have been forced to take drastic action because they don't have enough money to pay for a complete school program. The latest curtailment, that of 10,000 children, was an nounced last month in the Cincinnati, archdiocese, ef fective next falL Undersecretary of Labor John Henntog, father of seven and a graduate or Mary's College, is one of the national voices opposing any further curtailment He is at odds with Rep. Hugh L.

Carey, a New York member of the House Education Committee, who said the Cincinnati development appeared to be the "handwriting on the wall and would crystallize "the need for federal aid to. pupils in parochial. as well asi public schools. Economies Urged Henning, referring to American education's early roots in the churches, said effective economies must be practiced in Catholic schools in certain localities and abhorred curtailment of 5 the school programs as the solu tion. He said the system today is well worth the cost be cause it has produced Catholic-educated men for the American mainstream of life than ever before in his Catholic 1 do not create Catholie ghettos, he added.

The flooding was discovered early Sunday when Patrick C. Kelley, assistant engineer for the firm, chanced to be passing and noticed water seeping under a door.

A flood rushed out at him when the door was opened. Water was standing in the plant at depths up to 4 ft. Fireman and the Hermosi Beach Dept. of Public Works spent about five hour pumping out the place. Potts said police are investigating reports of labor trouble at the plant.

About 15 peacocks, brightly plumed but with voices that sounded like a disabled jet engine, des cended on lawns and shrubbery in the vicinity of Allen Ave. and Keystone St. about 9 a.m. A crew from the Pasadena Humane Society spent sev eral hours with nets and harmless traps attempting to found up the birds. All the crew got was one, and the rest moved to the nearby campus of Pasadena City College.

Where the birds came from, no one knew. One guess was that- they from the Los Angeles Ar several miles way.
