Scientists Find
 Sub for Rodiunn

Berkeley, Gal, Jan. 2-(UP)-A by-product of atomic bomb research was hailed today by University of California scientists as an effective, yet inexpensive, substitute for radi- um.
 Dr. H. A. Barker, Dr. Martin D. Kamen and Graduate Student Vic- toria Haas, announced they had succeeded for the first time in im- pregnating organic compounds with the by-product-'iong nfe' radio active carbon IA.
 pr. Barker said that by infusing radioactive carbon into organic compounds 1t was possible for biolo- gistS to conduct important experi- ments in metabolism and photoSyn- thesis by the tracer method"
 He said that the radioactive na- ture of C-14 enabled scientists to keep track of the carbon during its transformations in animal and plant life in the experimental proc esSes.
 pr. J. Robert OppenheImer, who played 8 leading role in research leading to development of the A bomb, said the radioactive carbon an isotope which remains active for 25,000 years-could be produced cheaply during work with uranium.
 Dr. Oppenheimer said C-l4 event. ually could replace expensive radi- llrn in many fields of experimental and industrial work.

reported c travel peak late yestsr- day as holiday visitors terminated their holiday visit Co Waterbury,
 At inns, tavefns and hotels, per- sonnel spent the day cleaning up the debris and tallying receipts Of the biggest New Years celebration ever remembered. Though drinking establishments were allowed Co re- main open yesterday, patrons were not numerous.
 One veteran waiter said he was impressed with the large cheeks which amounted to ee0. el00 oF elS6 for Q party Of six or eight.
 Another manager commented about the orderliness of the revei- lers, who enjoyed themselves drink ing, dining and dancing, but made no nuisances. He attributed the ex- ceilent behavior of his New Years patrons to any of the following three reasons: A desire for peace and harmony following four years of war; 6 complete exuberance. without a tinge of discord, or dis- agreement, created by the end of the global conflict: or the fact that most of New Year patrons included only "a few of those Quick.teFn- pered young people who start all the fights"
 Workmen tomorrow will begin dismantllng street decorations, which graced the city,s business section. during the holiday season. The work is expected to take sev-. eral days.

Churchill Gets Order of Merit

London, Jan. 2- (UP)-King George VI today honored his war time prime minister. Winston Churchill, with the Order of Merit the highest award Churchill could accept without violating his decision to avoid taking a title or entering the House of Lords.
 By adding the initials o. M. after his name, Churchill followed the example of David Lloyd George. World War I premier, who accepted the Order of Merit in 1919 after re- fusing all titles. Almost 26 years later, 8 few months before his death, Lloyd George accepted an earldom.
 Churchill remains plain mister" or Winston" as he is affectionate- ly called by bootblacks and harons alike. He refused the Order of the Garter last Summer upon retire. ment from office.
 The Order of Merit confers no precedence upon Churchill. There are only 24 members.
 King George also named six viscounts in the largest new year honors list ever released.
 The new viscounts are Field Marshal Lord Alanbrooke, Field Marshal Lord Alexander, Admiral of the Fleet Lord Cunningham,

New York, Jan. 2 - (Up) Irving MNslin Goldman, false teeth manu- xecturer from Alexandria, Va, Giained today that he has perfected on adaptable plastic skull which will saslly improve treatment of critical head cases.
 Goldman, a prothodontist, said he has also developed an electronic aftlfclal arm, or leg, which reacts Co temperatures and operates on its own power.
 You just pick up pen or pencil hY clalnping your teeth together.
 Goldman, who used to make false teeth in Brooklyn, is director of a new Virginia firm which will manu- 9actsire his products.
 Pistol Initiates
 He has also invented an air con- nresslon pistol which infiates an au- tomobile tire when you pull the trig- ger.
 Goldman said he is making his plastic skull for six-year-old Nor man Turner, son of a registered nurse. Mrs. Laura Turner, of Ar- lington, Va.
 "The boy has Q very unusual skull formation" Goldman said.
 ''He has only a thin layer of flesh and hair between his brain and the open air. You can see the brain pul- stations.
 Naturally his mother has been unable to allow him outside to play with other children" Goldman said. The slightest pressure on the ex- .'osed brain would be fatal.
 odds High
 His mother took him to many doctors, but no one would attempt making an artificial skull. To do this, they would have to make an impression of the head and brain and they were afraid 1t would prove fatal.
 'They told me that had one chance in 3,000,000, but decided Co give 1t a try"
 Goldman, who has pictures to Illustrate his work, said that he used solution of colloid and water, forming an elastic gelatin mass, to get an impression of the child's Hain and head.

 'auib's wool" he said. "In summer
 will have one with ventilation
 s punched in 1t.

For the first time ir his life, the child will be able to get out and play"
 Switch Put ln Mouth
 Goldman said his electronic arti- flcial hand has fingers that coil and uncoil. It gets it's gifel from pres. sure switch, the sike ff a pencil tip, which is fitted like Q pair of teeth--against thei'ubper and lower jaw structures.
 The lower switcls surface carries all the power, while the upper sur- face upon contact completes the cir- cult and sets the eI@ctronic hand or leg into operation.
 When the wearer bites down the two surfaces meet, cofAtact is estab. lished and the current passes through a thin, hesh-coNpred wire which extends from th4 mouth, through the lips, down the meek in- to the artificial arm.
 Goldman said the flngerS. regu- lated by the amount of presslifNe put on the switch, would open and close. Each artificial finger contaiIAS . series of electro-magnets. '
 Can Determine Heat
 There is @ pyrometer, looking like watch, strapped to the wearer,s wrist. Looking at this, the wearer can tell immediately how hot or cold 1t is. He can even take another persons pulse count" Goldman said.
 The arm. or leg, gets its power from battery carried in the belt.
 Goldman said he had demon- strated this device to the Army and they like 1t, but called the price too stiff.
 We're going into production shortly" he said. The arms will cost between $350 and $400. Legs probably will be slightly cheaper"

o. My husband has been overseas 9 months and has 70 points. I read in the paper and heard over the radio that the 79th Division and 31lth Field Artillery BIN arrived last week, but I have no further word from him. The postal service has always been 79 but the last letter I got 1t was 696; he wrote the same address. What does this mean? c. L., Norwich.
 A. As of 31 December enlisted men with 50 points are eligible for discharge. If your husband was with this unit 1t might be that he was sent to a Separation Center and has not had time to write you. The change in APO number might in- dicate his transfer to a unit alerted for return to this country.
 e. If a soldier was discharged in the month of September 1946, how many Family Allotment Checks is a wife due, after his discharge? A. The last family allowance check is paid the month in which the man is discharged. Ordinarily the Office of Dependency Benefits incloses a notice of final payment with the last check.
 e. ! enlisted in the WAAC in August 1942 and served until July 1945, almost a year. I did not re- enlist in the WAC. Does that mean I am not entitled to any benefits given CTS I personally know others who have served . shorter period of time and they are receiving all the benefits. Is this fair? A. s., Middleboro.
 A. "At least 90 days of active mil- jtary service" is the wording of the CT Bill. Service in the WAAC is not considered military.
 Q. I am sick and unable to work My son has $80 sent each month to his wife and baby. If he had money sent to me for my support, would it mean less for his wife? I don't wont to cheat her out of any but am desperate. What shall I do? c. H., Burlington.
 A. If you can prove dependency, you may apply for an allowance. It would not decrease the amount sent your sons wife. It would mean how ever, that your sons contribution, deducted from his pay, would be raised from $22 a month to $H. For information and the correct application forms to be completed for an allowance, we suggest you write Headquarters First Service Command, 008 Commonwealth Ave- nue, Boston, Mass.
 c. Can a discharged servicemen wear the discharge emblem that is sewn on his uniform on civilian clothes. c. D., Woonsocket.
 A. No. This is worn only on the uniform when the man is discharg- ed and is not to be worn on civilian clothes. The honorable service lapel button Is to be worn on civilian clothes.
 e. Does the state of Rhode Is- land have a bonus? s. K., Provi- dence.
 A. It is understood only three states at present have bonuses for veterans. They are New Hampshire, Vermont and Massachusetts. It is suggested the writer make inquiry for more information to State Ad- jutant General of Rhode Island.
 e. My borther's fiance tells me that his Government insurance is made out to her. In the event of his death, would she collect 1t all. D. M., Plymouth.
 A. Your brother cannot designate @ flance as his beneficiary. He may designate one of the following per- sons: Wife, child, parent, brother
