Mellon Trust Upsets Policy
In $4,000 Gift TO Hospital

WASHINGTON. A good turn
paid off for George Washington uni
versity in the form of a $780, 900 gift
for its hospital from the A. w.
Mellon educational and charitable
trust.
The Mellon trustees broke away
from policy in making the gift, ex-
planning it was due to the univer-
sity's helpfulness on the National
Gallery of Art here, which the late
Andrew w. Mellon gave the nation,
and his friendliness toward the
school. The university helped Mel
Ion obtain the site.
The Mellon trust policy is to use
its funds to further educational and
charitable projects only in and
around Pittsburgh, where Mellon
lived.

New Fabric by Trying

Test Others Neglected
ky the Associated Press

MANCHESTER, EnGland.-A re-
searcher's curiosity over sciences
failure to make one test in it's long
hunt for the nylon formula has been
turned into the success of Terylene,
synthetic fabric.
tthe story of the development of
the new sliklike material that can
be laundered and ironed without
special precautions has been re-
vealed after six years of secret work
BY DR.. J. T. Dickson. 30-year-old
chemist.
3. The missing link" in the nylon
chain from which Terylene was in
vented was terephthalic acid, says
the British Information Services.
Read of U. s. Experiments.
In 1910 J. r. Winfield, research
manager of the Calico Printers
Association at Accrington, in the
heart of the Lancashire cotton
country. was reading the technical
report on the discovery of nylon.
He read carefully the details of the
II years of experiments by the
American scientist, DR.. w. H. Ca
rothers, to create an artificial sub
stance that would be superior to
real silk.
Mr.. Winfield noticed that, among
the long, detailed list Of experiments
which had failed before the sue
cessful formula was finally hit on,
there was no mention OF tereph-
thalic acid having been tried.
This acid had been more or less
neglected by physicists engaged in
plastics research. But Mr.. Whin-
field had a theory that. like the
acetates range, which had been ne
elected for years till they proved
highly important in plastics. tereph-
thalic acid might be missing link"
In finding an even better synthetic
substance.
Four Chemists Assigned.
Accordingly, he assigned four of
his chemists to develop his idea. 1t
was tall DR.. Dickson, then a 23-year-
old graduate fresh from Edinburgh
University, who was soon hottest on
; the trail. He found that a synthetic
fiber he had created, using tereph-
thalic acid and ethylene glycol,
could resist tremendous amount of
heat. This indicated practical pos
5 sibilities and that it could be ironed.
! There was tense scene in the
. laboratory. At the crucial moment
. a glass rod was dipped into the
molten liquid and as the liquid
! streaned OF the glass, 1t cooled
into strip Of solid fiber. The scien-
fists lifted it at either end and
stretched it to five times its orig
inal length.
BY 1914 it was being tested under
every condition by a full-scale re-
search staff at Imperial Chemical
Industries. Today hundreds of
other chemists, technicians and en-
gineers are working in textile plants
: all over Britain to put Terylene on
J the market.
Fabrics produced from Terylene
resemble silk, but differ from either
rayon or nylon. Exceedingly fine

Radioactive Carbon
In Living ThingsL Lasts
Centuries After Death
By Thomas R. Henry
Star Stnff Cn1resnondant

CHICAGO, Dec. 26.-There is a
cosmic watch which will keep tick
ing for at least 10000 years after
death in all living things, from bac-
terra to human beings.
This was described before a sec
ton meeting of the American As
sociation for the Advancement OF
Science here today by Drs. Willard
F. Libby and E. C.<Anderson OF the
University of Chicago.
Billion-volt radiations from the
Milky Way constantly are lombard
ing the ocean of nitrogen which
forms the top layer Of the earth's
atmosphere. Under this cosmic ray
pelting, a minute amount Of this
nitrogen is transmitted into Carbon
14-one of the radioactive, or ex-
ploding. forms of the element which
is the primary constituent OF all
life. The process is the same as one
Of the steps in the chain OF trans
mutations of elements responsible
for the heat of the sun. This form
of carbon was unknown until it was
produced synthetically by atomic
bombardment in the Atomic Energy
Commissions uranium piles.
Plant, Animals Use Carbon IA.
The carbon IA thus produced in
the atmosphere eventually is taken
up by plants and animals and re-
mains part of their bodies.
A few months ago q radioactive
substance was found in Baltimore
sewage. A test at the University of
Chicago laboratories showed that 1t
had precisely the same radiations as
the exploding carbon produced in
the piles. Thus was confirmed its
existence, previously predicted, in
nature.
This carbon has a half life Of
5000 years-that is, one half Of all
the radioactive atoms present in
any material will explode in 5000
years, half Of the remainder in the
next 5000 years, and so on.
New Measure of Ages.
A detachable fraction Of any de-
posit should be present up to 10000
years, DR.. Libby said. He went on:
This should give a new means of
measuring geologic and archeo-
logical ages. Since living matter
that dies does not acquire new
radioactivity from the Carbon IA in
the atmosphere. the age Of any
geological deposits or archaeological
remains which exhibit such activity
can be determined by the amount
of activity up to 10000 years. The
experiments also will be useful to
cosmic ray physicists and geochem-
lists in that they measure the ratio
of the intensity of cosnic rays to
the amount of living matter on
earth.
