Carr predicts ‘space humans’
Astronaut Gerald Carr, crew
immander of the Skylab III mis-
on, told a group at Texas A&M
Iniversity Wednesday that he
|resees the evolution of a new type
people — space humans.
Carr, speaking to a meeting of the
jmerican Society of Metals in Zac-
Engineering Center, said that
lentually some people will be born
|jn space.
llhose who are, he said, will have
Bialler hearts and brains and a
eaker skeleton than those born on
[irtli.

be so great, he said, that the person
wouldn’t be able to live if he were to
return to earth.
Carr said the Skylab III set out to
accomplish three main jobs: study of
the human body while in weightless
conditions, a study of solar physics,
and a study of the earth’s resources.
He showed a film made from
slides during their flight, which
holds the world record for being in
space the longest time — 84 days.
Skylab III circled the earth 15
times a day, taking only 92.5 min
utes to circle the earth each time,
Carr said.
Carr said that the government is
spending $4.5 billion each year for
the space program, and that he'

United Press International
WASHINGTON — Crime in the
nited States decreased 2 percent
uring the first half of 1978, but
iere was a substantial increase in
ported rapes and a slight rise in
:her violent acts. Attorney General
riffin Bell announced Thursday.
Most of the increase in violent
Hrime came in the West and in
iddle-sized cities, according to the
Bi s Uniform Crime Report. Rapes
ported to police rose in cities of all
izes and in most parts of the coun-
The report is based on a compos
ite index of total crimes reported to
dice in more than 150 cities.
The total of reported crimes, ac-
ording to the index, fell 2 percent

of 1977. The overall drop, resulting
mainly from fewer property crimes
and thefts, continued a trend that
started in the first quarter of 1977.
Bell cited the report as “evidence
that progress is being made in the
fight against crime.
"However,” he said, “the volume
of violent crimes rose by a small
margin, emphasizing the need for
persistence in our crime prevention
efforts.”
The index showed a 1 percent in
crease in violent crimes of all types,
caused mainly by a 5 percent in
crease in rapes and a 3 percent rise
in aggravated assaults.
Murder showed no change, while
robbery offenses dropped 2 percent.
Studies have shown rape victims
are often reluctant to go to police.

tries would join to help allay the cost
of the space research.
Carr also talked about outer space
developments, including the plann
ed shuttle program. The shuttle
program will probably begin in 1979.
Carr, when asked how it felt to be
in a space capsule that was taking
off, said it was uniaue. and felt litre
riding on a train with square wheels.
Carr concluded the speech by
saying, “Just like our forefathers
looked to the West as the new fron
tier, we should be looking toward
space as our new frontier.”
Carr also served as capsule com
municator on Apollo missions eight
and ten and served s chairman of a
special group evaluating the feasi
bility of revisiting the Skylab vehicle
in 1980.
and it was not clear whether the in
crease in rapes resulted from addi
tional reporting or a rise in the ac
tual number of offenses.
The West, with a 2 percent in
crease, was the only region report
ing a rise in crime overall, and the
report showed it had a 7 percent in
crease in violent crimes.
Overall crime decreased 6 per
cent in the Northeast, 5 percent in
north central states and 1 percent in
the South.
Cities with populations of more
than 50,000 reported a decrease of 2
percent in reported crime. Rural
and suburban areas both recorded
declines of 3 percent.
In cities outside the major met
ropolitan areas, reported offenses
remained stable.
