Familiar Compounds
Ready in Radioactive
Form for Research
By the Assoc;oted Press

The Atomic Energy Commission
yesterday announced availability OF
something new in the merchandise
of the atomic age-chemical COM
pounds with built radioactivity.
They are familiar compounds i'm
portant for research, medical or in
dustrial use-compounds such as
ethvl alcohol, wood alcohol, acetic
acid, acetylene and various sodium
salts.
But they are tagged" with radio
active carbon-14. Some of the car
bon in these compounds is capable
of emitting rays so that when the
compounds are used for research, it
will be possible to trace what hap
pens to them in the course of an
experiment. Radioactive gold COM
pounds also are available.
For almost two years, the Atomic
Energy Commission has made avail
able to researchers separate radio
active elements like carbon-14 for
use in experiments
But if the researchers wished to
use these elements in other than
their original form, they had to
manufacture their own compounds
in small lots-often entailing ex-
pense and inconvenience.
The new development is the avail
ability of ready-to-use compounds
with the radioactivity "built-in." In
other words, the commission makes
them radioactive before selling them
to researchers.
In addition to more than 20 COM
pounds already availab BILE, the COM
mission expects to make available
within the next six months a num-
ber of others.
These will include radioactive
form of testosterone-the male sex
hormone-and a radioactive form
of formaldehyde, an important pre-
servative.

Road Tests Begin Tomorrow
To Fix Trucking Costs

Extensive road tests will begin in
Pennsylvania tomorrow to deter
mine relative costs of trucking, the
Highway Research Board of the Ma
tional Research Council revealed
Yesterday.
The tests are expected to deter
mine the validity of claims made by
trucking companies that large
benefits would result from loads
larger than are now legally per-
nitted." These claims have been
consistently countered by highway
engineers who have pointed out the
damage that might result from a
general increase in truck loads"
The board said the tests would
slso indicate the direct cost fuel
consumption and drivers wages
o. operation per ton mile for
vehicles ranging from the lightest
to the heaviest trucks.
The road tests are scheduled to
start at Carlisle, with one group Of
trucks taking the Pennsylvania
Turnpike to Greensburg, while the
other will move over U. S. Routes
