announced here recently by Sun Oil
company and Houdry Process cor

The isotope, so rare that current
production has been at the rate Of
less than one-half ounce a year,
may be compared to a chemical
microscope that makes it possible
for the chemist to see and follow
chemical reactions in the body not
possible with the x-ray."
Carbon Il has been described as

1t can be used to produce any of
the compounds normally composed
Of carbon, such as sugar, alcohol,
the hydrocarbons of gasoline and
thousands of others.
Or, the statement continued, Car
bon Is can be used, to grow vege-
tables which have some or all car
bon atoms with atomic mass equal

These compounds and vegeta-
bles, injected into or eaten by living
organisms, including humans, con-
tain the necessary "tracers" by
which their effect on body functions
can be discovered.
Research with the isotope, the
companies said, already has led to
discovery of how fats are broken
down in the animal organism to
create energy necessary to carry on
the life process.
"The possibilities of research with
Carbon IS are almost beyond imagi-
nation" the statement said. "It is
new and powerful tool for a revo-
lutionary approach to studies of the
fundamental processes that occur in
all living things, as well as meta
bolic disease processes such as cam
Ger, diabetes, hardening of the ar
teries, so-called heart trouble and
others"
The companies announced plans
for construction, by Sun Oil, of two
plants to produce Comparatively
