Skylab i astronauts Charles Conrad Jr., Paul J. Weitz and Dr Joseph P.

The chief astronaut physician, Dr. Royce Hawkins, said veteran spaceflier Conrad had the least problem readapting to gravity, and he had also gotten more inflight exercise than his fellow crewmen. Hawkins said hes recommending the two other Skylab crews scheduled to man the giant orbiting ship this year get more exercise on their trips. He said one interesting finding was that the astronauts didnt become dizzy in space while performing head movements as they sat in a whirling chair. They became dizzy before the flight on the ground when the chair was rotating only half as fast and they made the same movements.

New office to give special veteran aid Beginning Sunday, Utah will have an Office of Veterans Affairs in the Department of Social Services and Adlert Robinson, 1557 W. 2250 South, will be the first director. The office and provision for a director came about during the 1973 Utah Legislature when SB 198 passed. Robinson, who has been the veterans service representative for the Governors Veterans Task Force since December 1971, will counsel veterans and help them obtain their full benefits. The main effort of the task force was in obtaining employment for veterans, but in his new job Robinson will be dealing with a variety of items designed to help the veteran in medical, education, loan and related areas.

Robinson doesnt believe his duties will duplicate those of the Veterans Administration since that agency doesnt actuvetally go out and bring the eran in for the services, but rather provides the services if asked. Among the returning veterans of today, Robinson said the ones who are unemployed are also unskilled. He advocates their attending school on the Gf Bill and urges employers to provide apprenticeship programs or other types of training.
