Bureau Finds

Diamonds are better measure OF
radioactivity than any man-made
counter, 1t was announced by the
National Bureau of Standards after
extensive laboratory tests.
Scientists report that single
crystal colorless diamonds can be
used to count gamma rays given OF
by radioactive materials in exactly
the same way as the man-made
Geiger-M Muller counter.
But diamonds. they say, are 1000
times more sensitive to radiation,
size for size, than the ordinary
counter, and are practically in
destructible, whereas the man-made
radiation measure last only a few
months.
Gamma radiation is used by doc
tors to arrest the spread of malig-
nant growths, and is employed in in

'G.0.P. Renews Efforts
TO Link Communism
And Democratic Party
BY the Assoeiotsd Press


The Republican high command is
renewing its effort to link commu-
nism and the Democratic Party.
The Democratic leadership insists
its party does not wan he support
of Communists or organizations
identified with them.
The fresh Republican accusations
are contained in "The Chairman's
Letter. periodical four-page docu-
ment sent out by the Republican
National Committee to 21,000 party
workers and others over the sigma
ture Of Chairman Carroll Reece.
The December letter is devoted
entirely to q review of the 1O0-year
history Of the Communist move
ment. 1t declared the Roosevelt
administration recognized Soviet
Russia, whereas previous Republican
administrations had refused to ac-
cord recognition. 1t said Mr..
Roosevelt and President Truman
strengthened" Russia's hand at
Teheran, Yalta and Potsdam.
Iron Curtain Called Result.
1.-THE result of all these appease-
ment moves is the iron curtain
which divides Europe today" said
Mr.. Reece. "It is there because a
Democrat administration failed to
exercise its power to compel agree
ments which would have insured a
stable and peaceful Europe at the
time it had such power"
/ Mr.. Reece said the Democrats
have refused consistently to recog-
nize the warnings Of communism,
because the party must rely upon
the support from left-wing elements
if it hopes to win national
election"
TT cannot afford to bite any hand
that puts Democrat votes in the
ballot boxes" he added.
McGrath Repudiates Reds.
Senator McGrath Of Rhode Is
land, Democratic national commit
teeman, told news conference in
New York that the Democrats want
mo traffic" with organizations dom
mated by Communists cor so iden-
titled in the public mind"
Such exchanges have been reg
ular thing since the late President
Roosevelt renounced Communist Of
