Scientists Hint Life on Earth
Hinges on Invisible Light Ray

violet shortWaye. The "life ray" Is
a barely visible light wave.
The viruses affected by these
rays, said DR.. Dulbecco. control
the growth processes Of cells in
the human body. Destruction Of
these viruses, he believes, may
allow the cells to grow wild, as in
the case of cancer.
Thus, If an overdose Of ultra.
violet rays from the sun did Moth
ing else. it might touch off .
cancer epidemic Of severe pro-
portions. The likelihood of such
an occurance is fantastic, he
pointed out, "but within the realm
Of speculation"
DR.. Dulbecco said he hopes his
studies ultimately may reveal the
secret of the growth of cancer
cells, and even the effect Of the
sun on humans.
The existence Of the protective
layer of oxygen molecules which
disarms the suns lethal ultra
violet rays in the upper atmos-
phere was discovered by DR.. Kap-
Ian in laboratory experiments. He
calls them energetic" molecules
because Of their ability to absorb
energy from the sun in the form
of ultraviolet rays and release it
in the form Of heat rays.
Further study Of the layer, be-
lieves DR.. Kaplan, may pave the
way for accurate long-range
weather forecasting. Scientists
could chart weather months IN
advance, he says, If they knew
what happens in the upper atmos-
phere to the enormous amounts
Of energy with which the sun
bombards the earth.

LOS ANGELES. Nov. Life
and death on this planet may
hang by so nebulous a thread as
an invisible ray Of light.
Two separate announcements
yesterday, one by the California
Institute of Technology. the other
by the University Of California at
Ian Angeles, brought this grim
specter into the realm of scientific
speculation:
Sixty miles above the earth
exists q heretofore unknown layer
Of oxygen molecules which myster-
iously change the wave lengths Of
the suns deadly ultraviolet rays
to infra-red heat rays. This was
announced by DR.. Joseph Kaplin,
U. c. L. A. professor of physics.
If some sudden piercing of the
earth's atmospheric shield-per-
haps by q comet or an atomic ex-
plosion-should let that layer Of
oxygen molecules escape, life might
vanish from the face Of the globe
under the bombardment Of ultra
violet radiation from the sun.
The effect Of certain types of
ultraviolet rays on living organ
isms may be judged from an
nouncement by Caltech's DR..
Renato Dulbecco, who yesterday
disclosed discovery Of "life rays"
and death rays" in his studies
with invisible light.
A certain kind Of light, he said,
can kill a little-known bacterial
virus. and another kind Of light
can bring the same organism back
to life.
The killing light is an ultra
