Simple Instruments Developed
ToDetern1ine Atomic Radiation

Half a dozen atomic energy
laboratories are working on simple
instruments which will tell per-
son in or near an area attacked
by an atomic bomb whether he
has been subjected to atomic
radiation.
The instruments are being de-
signed for civil defense use, and
are described in the semiannual
report of the Atomic Energy Com
mission.
One such instrument is about
the size and shape of a package
of cigarettes. Another is like a
fountain pen. These instruments
would carry an electrical charge.

the electric charge to leak away
and this would be noted on a
scale or by the position of the
components of the instrument
Another such instrument is
known as a "colorimetric dosi-
meter" 1t consists of a number
of capsules containing liquids
which would change color, accord
ing to the amount of radiation
exposure.
Studies are being made to de-
determine how long these instru-
ments will remain effective and
how much they will cost. One
laboratory is developing simple
Geiger counter which may be pro-
duced for less than SIS. The
fountain pen instrument should
be ready by Januak. 1852.

at Sesq Pageant Is FootLqh Debut for Many Students
By jones G. Deone

Hearts will be in lot of throats
when the Sesquicentennial pageant
opens tomorrow night in the new
Rock Creek Park Amphitheater.
Most of the big cast are high
school and college students who
have never appeared in a profess
sional production before. That will
make it kind of mass-produc-
ton footlight debut.
A handful of the principals are
experienced professionals. They
include Charles F. McClelland,
who plays George Washington,
and Mary Miller. who plays Mar
tina. Some of the chorus also sing
professionally.
But for most Of the 1875, the
massive two-hour production is
what Production Executive Poe
Leggette calls an educational
laboratory" ....
Real theater jobs are hard to
find for drama students in this
area" explained Mr.. Leggette, who
heads the speech and drama de-
partment at George Washington
University. "To be in summer
theater work, most of the time
they'd have to pay-and there
aren't any established stock COM
panies which use students near
Washington anyway.
"We consider this thing a
school. Our idea is to provide
summer work for students who
are preparing seriously for the
theater."
Faculty Of Producers.
The shows director, William
(BilD Vorenberg. also is on the
G. w. faculty. Sayre Harris, the
technical director, is from Mary
land University and so is Stage
Manager Rudy Pugliese. In effect,
they constitute faculty, whose
job is not merely to produce Paul
Green's Faith of Our Fathers
but also to give ambitious students
a nudge toward a career.
Most of the actors, dancers and
technicians were recruited from
the colleges and secondary schools
in the area. Many are teen-agerS.
For several. Prof. Leggette had to
obtain special under-age work per-
mits from District authorities be-
cause of the city's child labor
restrictions.
Some of the youngsters who
have simple walk-on parts have
been working the long rehearsal
hours for a meager SIS a week.

Even the $50 TO 500 paid more

ceded. But it's the opportunity
rather than the money. that the
students are interested in, he
emphasized.

The American Medical Society's
national emergency council is pre-
pared to back a doctor draft SIM
liar to one proposed in the House

curement plans prove unsuccess-
ful.
The House bill would require
doctors, dentists and medical
technicians up to the age of As
to register with draft boards for
possible induction into the armed
| forces.
The AMA's Council on Emer-
gency Medical Service announced

lation. if necessary. to provide for
the military call of physicians on
a priority schedule. The coun-
ellis recommendation to this ef-
feet has been submitted to the
AMA's Board of Trustees for
approval.
Representative Saylor. Republi-
can, of Pennsylvania, introduced
the doctor draft bill. Mr.. Saylor is
a former Naval officer and par
ticipated in the Two Jima and
Okinawa invasionS.
Would Serve 21 Months.
Those called up would serve for
81 months. the same length of
time as other draftees, whose regis
tration age is 18 through Is years.
A priority system is established
in the bill. First to go would be
those who received training at
Government expense but who did
not serve on active duty as
medical officers.
The House bill priority plan
parallel one recommended by the
ANA emergency council.
The District Medical Society

The District society's volunteer
plan calls for the establishment
of a committee of from five to

If adopted by the ANA, the
District plan would set the pat

President Signs
bill for U. Part
|0f Expressway
Two Possibilities
Exist for Provision
Of Federal Funds

President Truman today signed
bill for completion of the Fed
eral section of the Washington
Baltimore Parkway.
The dual-lane expressway is
linked with the defense of Wash
ington against atomic attack. It
was begun as a World War II
project.
The Federal section of the
superhighway runs from the Dis
trict to JesSupS road near Fort
Meade, a distance of about 10
miles. Maryland's portion, a IL
mile stretch, is from that point
to Baltimore, and includes a spur
linking the new Friendship Air
port.
Maryland already has COM
pleted about miles of her share
and expects to have the remainder
ready for use by the fall of 1851.
ALI Rights-of-Way Acquired.
All rights -of-way have been ac-
quired or pledged by Federal agen-
cies controlling the reservations
through which the expressway
will pass. While none of the Fed
eral portion has been completed,
several miles have been graded.
Plans call for extending New
York avenue as the District end Of
the expressWay.
The bill was given unanimous
approval by the Senate last week
after Chairman Tydings of the
Armed Services Committee out
lined its vital" connection to the
defense of Washington.
Senator Tydings warned the
Senate that an atomic attack on
Washington could not be conSid-
cred IAN impoSsibility."
Sees Field as Lifesaver.
If it comes. he said, the WASH
ington Baltimore Expressway
would prove blessing since it
would serve the new Friendship
Airport, nine miles this side of
Baltimore.
"The life of the Capital could
depend on this airport" Senator
TydingS said. 1T would be the
major interceptor field in such
an attack"
Members Of the Maryland Con-
gressional delegation were present
at the White House when Presi-
dent Truman signed the measure.
To finance the road, appropria-
tons will have to be provided by
Congress. There are two possi-
olllt1es for congressional action
on funds for an early start.
One Is in Federal Aid Bill.
Pending in the big multimillion
dollar Federal aid to highways for
the whole country is a proviso
authorizing So million to be avail
able Immediately upon enactment
of the bill for parkway construc-
tion, This measure has passed
the House and is now awaiting
action in the Senate. It probably
will be called up as soon as the
omnibus appropriation bill now
under debate is disposed of.
Another possibility for funds
was raised recently when Senator
McCarran, Democrat, of Nevada
attempted to insert in the omni-
bus appropriation bill an amend
ment for SIS million to be avail
able for both the Washington-
Baltimore parkway here and some
projects in the Senator's home
State.
Whether Senator McCarran
will make another effort to get
this money into the omnibus bill
was not certain today, but the
one-package supply bill is still
under debate for amendments by
individual Senators.

Italian Cabinet Moves
To Strengthen Defense

ROME, Sept. 23.-Italy decided
today to spend $50 billion lire

fense.
A communique from Premier
Alcide de Gasperi's office said the
Cabinet ministers had NOTED that

forced measures to strengthen
their military defense and to pre-
vent-in the deprecated event OF

Immediately were:
/. Increase the number Of cara

personnel.
2. Provide all carabinieri posts
with modern means of communi-
cation and transportation.
3. Enlist another 10000 men in
the police forces. for a total of
$4,000.
4. Create eight new mobile po-
lice anti-riot battalionS.

Uncle Sam to keep on using his
10-year-old investment a while

ter interest rate than he could get
by purchasing new Government

Whatever policies are finally
okayed by Secretary Snyder, the
choices will be flexible. The bond
holder who insists on cash will get
his money without question. But
it is hoped that the alternatives
at his disposal will be made so
attractive that he will choose not

Representative MarcanConlO OF
New York laughted yesterday when
asked to comment on rumor in
the Senate chamber that Presi-
dent Truman had vetoed the anti
subversive bill in a deal with the
American Labor Party of New
York to save the political life Of
Democratic Senator Lehman.
In return for the presidential
veto, the rumors had it. the
American Labor Party agreed to
withdraw its candidate for the
Senate in the coming New York
election. With the ALP candi-
date out of the running. Senator
Lehman was expected to pick up
10000 to 300.0 900 votes.
Mr.. Marcantonio, head of the
ALP and it's only member Of Con-
gress, was amused when the re-
port of the deal was brought to
his attention.
"Of course there has been no
such agreement" he said. I'm the
first place the date for withdraw
ing candidates in New York has
passed and 1t could not be done.
In the second place, we would
make no such deal. None Of the
candidates, for Senator, governor
or any other Office are being with
drawn"
Mr.. Marcantonio said Senator
Lehman had the support of the
Democratic Party. the Liberal
Party and the American Labor
Party in 1916 when he ran for
the Senate and was defeated by
Senator Ives, Republican.
This year Senator Lehman
does not have the support of the

Senate Cites Russell
For Contempt After
Silence on Gambling

Harry Russell, reputed big-time
gambler associated with the old
Capone gang, yesterday was cited
for contempt of Congress-.
The Senate by a unanimous
voice vote referred the Russell
case to United States Attorney
George Morris Fay. 1t stemmed
from Russell's refusal to answer
questions before the Senate Crime
Investigating Committee.
Senator Kefauver, Democrat of
Tennessee. chairman of the crime
committee. got Senate agreement
to take up the contempt resolu-
tion in mid-afternoon after being
blocked temporarily earlier in the
day.
Could Get Year.
The maximum penalty for q
contempt of Congress conviction
is year in Jail and $1,000
fine.
The committee originally tried
and failed to serve a subpoena
on Russell during it's Miami hear
ings several months ago. The
Senate investigators wanted to
find out how he happened to be-
come partner in a Florida gam
bling syndicate.
When Russell finally appeared
before the committee early last
week, he refused to answer ques-
tions on the grounds the answers
might tend to incriminate him.
Warned on Stand.
Recalled Friday, Russell refused
to say whether he knew some
members of the old Capone gang
and why he failed to show up
at the Miami hearings.
When Senators warned him he
was courting serious trouble by
refusing to answer. he replied he
had been reading the Constitu-
tion ever since he was boy and
believed he had some rights under
1t. The committee then voted to
recommend a contempt citation.

trighten others especially the
West German beyond the Elbe.
If the Berlin situation can be
made to look from the outside like
keg of dynamite. Communists
reason, the West German busi-
nessman may decide to keep his
investments where he can see
them. The Bonn republic may be
worried into thinking the sur
rounded former German capital is
too much of a rat hole for its
hard-won money. If such think
ing can be made eminent. the
West German may be induced to
write off Berlin as an anchor he
can do without.
ANY Schism Is Welcomed.
This would put the Western oc-
cupation powers in the position of
defending what the West German
himself would not want to try to
defend.
Any schism between the West
ern Allies and the Germans. re-
gardless of how small, would be
welcomed by the Eastern Com
munists as worth while.
Where the Communists will hit
next is anybody's guess. The Com
munist leader commented sue
cinctly that Western weak spots
in Berlin are not hard to find.
Highway traffic, barges, trains
the postal service, the sector bor-
ders. youth marches, the power
supply-all have been tested and
re-tested in an effort to break
down the morale of the anti-Com-
munist Berliner.
No Blockade Contemplated.
This week the Communists cut
off West Berlin's power supply
temporarily. There was a furry
of arrests of the police of both
sides.
The high Communist made clear
that another full-scale blockade
like that of 1948-49 is one thing
that will not be attempted now
He said the East German demo
cratic republic is trying to ex-
pand interzonal trade and cannot
afford "at the moment" to cut
off these relations.
The East is content, he COM
tmented, to keep things rocking
along on an opportunistic war o1
nerves basis.
AS an example, Eastern police
stirred up another row over the
line separating Kreuzberg borough
in the American sector and Mite
a Russian sector borough.
BY tacit agreement Western
police have been patrolling the
sidewalk though it actually is ir
the Russian sector. This patro,
was considered necessary because
the houses on one side of the
street are in the American section
Eastern police suddenly ap-
peared last night and announced
they were taking over. Rather
then argue about it. American
authorities ordered the Western
police to withdraw.
If Western police want to in
vestigate anything in a house or
that street now they will have te
