FRIDAY AFTERNOON, MARCH II, 1966 THE NORTH ADAMS, MASSACHUSETTS. TRANSCRIPT SEVEN Salvage Underway XB70A Enters Last Phase Of Its Useful Existence EDWARDS AIR FOHCE BASE, Calif. (AP) The giant XB70A heads Into the last phase of its useful existence soon with one of the world's most versatile test pilots assigned to salvage what he can from the bypassed billion-dollar bomber. Kecord Holder 'Joseph A. Walker, 45, holder of speed and altiluda records in the X15 rocket plane, has begun training to fly the B70A late this spring or summer.

Aj chief engineering test pilot for the National Aeronautics and Space Administration's research center here, Walker will do research aimed soley at aiding design of the upcoming supersonic transport SST -even though the transport is jikely to bear little resemblance to the XB70A. In exclusive interviews, Paul BiWe, director of the NASA center, and Walker said they believe (he SST research program, scheduled to last 18 months with Air Force and NASA sharing the $35-million cost, will end the usefulness of the XB70A. Not for X15 once were verv hot on the idea of using the XB70A as a launching platform for the X15, which now uses the slower B52," Bikle said. "But we've found it just wouldn't be feasible. I see anything ahead for the XB70A after the SST re- sarch program." When conceived more than a decade ago, the 185-foot XB70A Was the prototype of a mullibil- lion-dollar fleet designed to carry' nuclear city-busters across oceans at 2,000 milts an hour at altiladcs of 70,000 feet beyond the reach of pursuit craft then flying.

Before it could be built, however, intercontinental missiles proved they could do the job faster and cheaper and extremely fast fighters like the. YF12A were developed which could shoot it down. Only Two Built The XB70A was scrapped as an operational bomber and only two were built, at a cost of $1.2 billion. Last year NASA put in a bid to share the two XB70A planes with the Air Force. As soon as the Air Force accepts them from North American Aviation, this spring, NASA will start using Ihem for research.

are the only planes of that size' flying at extreme speeds and altitudes," Bikle said. 'The 4,000 m.p.h. X1S and the 2,000 m.p.h. YF12A are much 1 Taking Time Out So Walker is taking lime out from test-flying a stilt-legged lunar landing research vehicle to learn to fly 1,600 m.p.h.

and feet, Walker says: "Naturally, I regret it, but I can't have a foot in all the cockpits around here. Besides, who wants to get in a rut?" NASA has installed $2 million worth of instruments on the XB70A. With these it will Ftudy: 1. Air friction on the plane's skin, which gets hotter than a kitchen stove (more than 600 degrees Fahrenheit). Unless controlled by insulation or refrigeration, such heat means discomfort for passengers and dangerous structural weakening.

Noise Must Be Quieled 2. Noise generated by ths swift flow of air along the fuselage and wings. Louder than an automobile horn a few inches away, the noise must be quieted for passenger comfort and structural safely. 3. High altitude turbulence.

This little known phenomenon can buffet a plane the way gusts toss a ship at sea. 4. Sensitivity of hydraulic controls. Wing and tail surfaces are too large to be. controlled by human muscle alone; hydraulic pressures, many times greater than those which help a driver brake his car, move tail and wing flaps half a block away from the pilot's cabin.

Dispute Prevents Highway Link Of Rts. 90 and 495 WASHINGTON wants lo link Interstate highways 90 and but says it cannot do so because oi a dispute with the federal Bureau of Public Roads. A statement read to a House federal highway subcommittee Thursday for Commissioner Francis W. Sargent of the Massachusetts Department of Public Works called the dispute "detrimental and in direct conflict with Congressional directives calling tor the construction of a fully integrated system of interstate and defense highways." The problem is that Interstate 4M is a free north-south highway 'and Interstate 90 is the Massachusetts Turnpike, a toll road. The Bureau of Public Roads says it will not release federal funds to build an interchange- about $2 million unless Ite Massachusetts Turnpike Authority says it can't do that because it plans improvements on the turnpike and plans to float a bond Issue to pay for them.

Granted Divorce Louise M. Baird of Pittsfield was granted a divorce in Pittsfield Probate Court yesterday from Robert Baird, also of that city. The couple was married in North Adams in October of 1949. The decree was awarded on grounds of cruel and abusive treatment. Baird was ordered lo pay J35 a week toward the support of five minor children who were given into custody of the mother.

Rose of New Bedford, "Lua de Mel No. 2" was a ride in horse drawn surrey filled with golden memories. The Roses went to their apartment window on ihelr 50th wedding anniversary and saw a horse and buggy in the street with the driver holding a sign, "Come on Ma and Pa lor Lua de Mel No. 2." In Portuguese, that means "second honeymoon." The couple's son and two daughters had arranged lor them to relive the buggy jou- ney they took in 1916 from the Portuguese a i Church where they were married to their first home. "Haven't seen one oi those In a long time," said Rose about the carriage with wheels and fringe on top.

The buggy whip was decorated with while ribbon "just like it was that day." So with friends and family showering them with flower petals, the 68-year-old Hose and his 66-year-old bride, the former Diamanlina Avila, climbed into the surrey and were oil on an hour and a half ride.

Stack has been a policeman for 15 years and has already delivered nine babies, more than most doctors. "We had movies on it and lectures in the police course," said the 40-year-old Stack about his midwifery training. "I have a natural ability for first aid." Stack said Iris most harrowing delivery was in. a housing project where an infant born to a 16 year old mother almost strangled on its cord. "He's alive and doing fine now," he said about the child.

This final article of a series of five looks at medical care of the future. By ALTON BLAKESLEE AP Science Wller NEW YORK (AP) Medicine has chalked up tremendous Successes in postponing death, relieving pain, in patching people up. And it only starling to realize its full Some elements in your future health care are suggested by doctors and other specialists, conservative or liberal in their viewpoints. One major emphasis, most agree, will be upon preventing disabilities and illnesses, including cancer, heart attacks, and even the galloping plague of the common cold. Keeping You Well The emphasis will be upon keeping you well and vigorous, through total, comprehensive care.

You may, each year, have a checkup involving.30 or. more tests, most of them simple, with automated equipment and a computer analyzing results initially for your doctor to consider, suggests Dr. C. C. Cutting of the Permanente Medical Group in Oakland, Calif.

Within five years, possibly, ailing human hearts may be removed and replaced small, battery-operated mechanical hearts. Ultimate success is expected in the dream of becoming able to borrow vital organs kidneys, hearts, glands, limbs -from the dead and transplanting them into the living. Death often knocks prematurely because one organ fails in a person who otherwise is 90 per cent healthy. Alter Heredity Some scientists confidently expect we shall learn how to alter human heredity, one's genes, to prevent inheritable defects, as well as to correct those that do occur. And they suggest we'd best begin now to think about safeguards to assure that genetic "tampering" is clone wisely and with constructive interests only.

Average life spans may increase appreciably. It is more likely that debilitating, degenerative diseases of aging will be postponed longer. Some nagging moral or ethical questions may become more' acute: Just hbw long' should heroic and expensive efforts and medications be continued' to keep breath in aged, helpless persons who may be only technically alive? Who might decide whether or when to stop? Doctors Wonder Is too much effort, some physicians wonder, being spent on adding a few years to adult life, as against preserving children and younger adults from grave health threats, or overcoming their or emotional handicaps? And where is the money coming from for all the proposed programs for expanded health care, for training new health professionals, for improving Trospitals, and paying salaries commensurate with those in other occupations? Some say we cannot afford it all, or at least in a rush. Others believe we can, through insurance systems and tax funds, in a generally prosperous nation that ought to have good health for its citizens as one its prime goals. How.

shall It be done without diluting quality of medical care, or inter, Tence with the physician's judgment for his patient? Clear Trend The clear trend, from these interviews, is toward better, more effective, more wide-, spread medical care. In the planning stage now -and a matter of some controversy is establishment of a national network oi regional centers for heart disease, cancer and strokes. It is intended to bring the best skills in diagnosis and treatment of these diseases to every physician and patient, region by region, to overcome the lag between discovery and application, to spur research, to train more health personneland specialists. Change is moving through hospitals. They are modernizing' In more attractive and efficient design, and in adopting laborsaving techniques.

Automation Well Advanced Automation in hospital is becoming well-ad- vai'iceu; computers art entering to reduce paper, work, keep records, to speed the flow, of information, even to aid; in more careful administration of drugs to patients. More supplies are disposable, used but once, and there are more efficient methods of preparing and serving meals. Nursing homes, many of them understaffed and providing only minimal care, are expected to undergo vast improvement. More Assistance Physicians will have more assistance in keeping abreast of the flow of advancing medical knowledge while keeping the responsibility lo determine its value for their patients. The I American Medical Association, for example, is considering a national plan for continuing medical education.

It is launching a pilot study soon, in Utah, partly lo measure the individual postgraduate educational needs among doctors. The harried medical student will find his courses changing some medical deans predict', being broadened into the life problems of his future pa- lienls. To'al Preventive Care Medical schools "must take on responsibility for segments of the population in their communities, for total care and preventive said Dr, Robert Ebert; Harvard Medical School dean. Tamping tobacco into his pipe, Dean Ebert said; "We must have an eye and feeling for what Ihe public needs, for that is the purpose of medicine."
