Atom P|ant' Isotopes
Going 10 Il Nations
By the Associoted Press

OAK RIDGE, Tenn, Sept. A.
Beneficial radioactive isotopes from
the atomic laboratories here are
now available to 81 nations, the
Atomic Enegry Commission an
nounced today.
The radioactive isotopes, produced
in the uranium chain-reacting pile
here, are used in the treatment of
disease and the tracing of biological
processes which heretofore have
been difficult to follow.
The 81 nations which have ar
ranged to get the isotopes, since
the distribution program began a
year ago, are:
Argentina, Australia. Belgium,
Canada, Cuba, Denmark. France
Iceland, India. Ireland, Italy, the
Netherlands. New Zealand, Norway,
Peru. Spain, Sweden. Switzerland,
Turkey. Union of South Africa and
the United Kingdom.
All but Cuba, France, Iceland,
India, Ireland and New Zealand
have received shipments SO far, the
Atomic Energy Commission said
A total of PIG radioisotope ship
ments have been made during the
last u months, ending August 81,
this year with radioactive phos-
phorus constituting most of the de-
liveries. Its primary use is in
treating polycythemia vera, a dis
ease in which red blood cells are
excessive, and also in luekemia.
For some of the radioisotopes, air
shipment is necessary because of
the relatively short active life of
the substances

British Labor Split
On Workers Right 10
Boss Public Industry
By the Associoted Press

LONDON, Sept. 4.-Should Or
ganized workers be both masters
and men in nationalized industry?
Nine important British trade
unions think so-more or less.
But the nations top union leaders
and the present Labor government
say No"
The question will be threshed out
this week at the annual Trades
Union Congress in Margate, Sep
tember Gil. It's likely to be one
of the big issues.
Resolutions demanding action
toward that end are being pushed
by the unions of mine workers
railwaymen, locomotive engineers
and firemen. constitutional en-
gineers, post Office workers, agricul-
tural workers, bank employees, en-
gineering and shipbuilding draughts-
men, and the white collar" group
ing of STATS, executives and tech
nicians.
Their separate proposals speak of
widespread uneasiness" among
union members who are seriously
perturbed by the lack of recognition
given to those with actual day-to-
day experience of the operations Of
industry
Syndicalism Repudiated.
Boiled down. they indicate a con-
siderable feeling that the govern
ment should turn over the nation
allied industries to the workers.
Public ownership is not enough.
The General Council Of the Trades
Union Congress calls that syndicai-
ism and repudiates it outright.
In fact, the dominant faction in
British trade unionism has been
repudiating syndicalism for so years.
For the present, the council and
the government are determined
that the nationalized industries
shall be run by men best qualified
for the job.
Public industry was not set up to
find jobs for trade union leaders,"
said Sam Watson, Durham miners
leader and vice chairman of the
Labor Party.
Mr.. Watson's own national union
of mineWorkers lets that shaft 60
by. But it counters with an insist
ence that the government select for
the executive jobs "all persons on
the basis of proved ability and con-
viction in the success of nationaliza-
ton" Devotees like that. apparent
ly, are most likely to be found right
inside the trade union movement.
Principal Miners Aim.
The mineworkers also want to
establish the principle that "all ad-
ministrstors and technicians shall
be persons of proved ability and
possessing sound technical knowl-
edge of the industry
present policy of choosing men from
other fields to sit on certain control
boards. These frequently may be
trades unionists, but they are not
always members of the union en-
ployed in the industry they are
chosen to guide This has been true
in the case of the Bank of England.
That's why the National Union of
Bank Employees asks that it be al
lowed to nominate member of the
banks directorate.
Similar views are expressed by
the postoffice and by the agricul-
tural workers.

to pursue cautious policy After
