Lost RQdium
Found in Tons
OF Sewage

Finding a needle in a haystack
seemed less a feat today after DR..
Kenneth T.. Corrigan found six or
them containing $1,000 worth OF
radium-in hundreds Of tons OF
sewage sludge. \#
When Harper hospital authors
ties discovered that the radium
was missing Wednesday, they
summoned DR.. Corrigan, one Of
the institutions own physicists
who has gained national prom
inence as a radium detective.
Deciding that the radium had
been flushed down a sewer by ac-
cident, he engaged the help OF
city engineers and heads of the
sewage disposal system. Sludge at
the sewage outlets was dumped
into huge piles instead of passing
through the processing machines.
Using a radium detector device
he built himself at a cost of S35.
he probed the hundreds of tons OF
sludge all Wednesday night and
most of Thursday.
Finally he heard the clicking
sound in the detector's earphones
caused by gamma rays given of
by radium.
The sludge was combed down to
almost the last shovel before DR..
Corrigan found the six needles,
with the radium intact.

"FinalIy In July we ran out OF
copper pipe and we can't get
any more. Only recently did the
commission agree TO ask the
government TO okay the substi-
tuition of iron for copper piping.
"Under the regulations we
cannot ask this permission our
selves. Only the housing COM

ing critical and that substitutes
should be used for them wher-
ever possible.

Commission insisted that copper

that copper Is desperately
