SCIENCE AND MEDICINE
68. This winter the Nobel Prize in medicine and physiology went to Professor Hermann J. Muller of Indiana University, leading authority on:
1. Brain surgery. 4. Prostheses (artificial limbs).
2. Gland transfusion. 5. Radiation-induced mutations.
3. Heart disease.
69. But conspicuously absent among other scientists honored with Nobel Awards were any connected with:
1. Chemistry. 4. The atom bomb.
2. Physics. 5. Virus research.
3. Reproduction and other biological changes.
70. What might be the end of one of the most expensive searches in medical history came when two Stanford University scientists isolated the virus that causes:
/. Arthritis. 4. Spinal meningitis.
2. The common cold. 5. Typhus.
3. Infantile paralysis.
71. U.S. doctors finally decided to vaccinate 100,000 people with BCG to try to immunize them against:
1. Cancer. 3. Malaria. 5. Venereal diseases.
2. Pneumonia. 4. Tuberculosis. 72. The pick and shovel corps of science has recently discovered all but one of these:
1. Boats of the ancient Britons about 400 years older than Julius Caesar.
2. Carved runes at Montpelier, Vt., which seem to prove that Lief Ericson was the first European to visit America.
3. A city in Palestine (possibly Tirzah of Biblical fame) which was inhabited in 4,000 B.C.
4. A 3,000-year-old city in Russian Azerbaijan whose inhabitants were well over six feet tall.
5. The second largest royal tomb ever found in Egypt.
73. Exhausted oil pools may yield a "second crop" thanks to experiments of Dr. Claude E. ZoBell, who would:
1. First condense the oil, then collect it by means of static electricity.
2. Flood the wells with ZoBelline, a gas which drives out the oil.
3. Force air under pressure through worked-out strata.
4. Infect oilsands with a deep sea bacteria.
5. Suck out the oil with a powerful new syphon he has invented.
74. The Mark II, developed at Cambridge, Mass., for the U.S. Navy is:
1. A giant calculating machine.
2. An improved application of radar for submarine detection.
3. Newest and fastest of the jet-propelled planes.
4. A revolutionary seagoing tank.
5. A rocket bomb bigger and faster than the Nazi V2.
75. The National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics recently revealed that it may have to split up its Buck Rogers testing center because:
1. It cannot provide housing for its technicians.
2. Its noise unnerves people.
3. No one place has enough power to run its motors.
4. Secrecy (says the F.B.I.) can be maintained only by decentralizing it.
5. The Army & Navy each wants a part of it.
76. And many airmen fear that "compressibility" (vibrations set up by "standing sound waves") may make it impossible for planes to travel in the range of:
1. 150-300 m.p.h. 4. 500-650 m.p.h.
2. 300-400 m.p.h. 5. 650-900 m.p.h.
3. 400-500 m.p.h.
