Pocket Size Godget Developed
To Tell If You're Radioactive

The Army says the gadget is
simple, inexpensive, worn about
the neck on a chain, and suitable
for mass production"
Readings can be obtained from
the dosimeter in one minute after
exposure to atomic rays and with
out recourse to a Photographic
laboratory or any supplementary
equipment. After you think you
have been exposed to atomic rays,
you pull a film plaque, provided in
the gadget, through a slot in the
case.
This breaks a pod containing
developer chemicals and spreads
the chemicals over the film. You
then wait one minute, open the
gadget and examine the sensitized
strip.
A scale alongside the film then
indicates if you have become ra-
dio-active and to what degree. It's
based on the color of the film.
The device was developed by the
Polaroid Corp. of Cambridge,
Mass. under the Signal Corps En-
gineering Laboratories, Fort Mon
mouth, N. j.

such. is called a self-developing
Photographic dosimeter. It's about
the size of a cigarette lighter.

SECURITY COUNCIL:
No Communist Deuls

$50 long as men are dying on
the battlefield in defense of the
United Nations this council will
not wish to cheaper their suffer-
ing or sully their heroism by
seeming to engage in the consider
alton of deals"
With these words, Warren Aus
tin, the American chief delegate to
the United Nations, rejected the
Russian move to link the question
of Red China's entrance in the U. N.
with the Korean war.
1t was bitter exchange of words
between Austin and Soviet dele
gate Jakob A. Malik, who became
president of the security council
Aug. l.
Malik wanted the question of
admitting Red China to the U. N.
the first order of business on the
agenda, with the Korean situation
second. The Russians were defeat
ed by vote of eight to one.
No one believed the Russians had
any formula for peace that was
acceptable to the western powers
when they ended their boycott of
the security council. It soon be-
came evident the Russians were
interested in seating Red China
and nothing else.
Some believed Malik's maneu-
vers were only delaying tactics in
the belief the North Koreans would
quickly shove United Nations
troops off Korea and thus open the
way for any demands the Soviet
Union desired to make.
That belief became widespread
when the Russians demanded
American troops be withdrawn
from Korea, under threat of use of
the veto, and seat the North Ko-
reans in security council delibera-
tons.
On the other hand, it was Just
as evident that the United States
would not agree to such a situa-
ton. The only outcome could be a
deadlock, with the Russians resort
ing to the vote to kill any action
the majority might sanction.
Browning chief. [volume] (Browning, Mont.) 1941-1953, 1950-09-01
ECONOMY:
Control Bill Likely

The senate banking committee ap-
proved a home-front mobilization
bill which would give full discretion
to invoke wage-price-rationing con-
trolls to President Truman.
Last month President Truman
asked for limited economic controls.
The bill approved by the commit
tee, however, goes much further
than Mr.. Truman asked.
Those less-SWeeping curbs includ-
ed authority to:
1. Allocate scarce industrial ma
terials.
2. Assign priorities to put defense
production work at the head of any
factory job sheet.
3. Let the government take over
privately owned plants, if neces-
sary.
4. Surb consumer credit and real
estate construction credit.
S. Grant 100000, $1,000 in govern
ment loans and loan guarantees to
spur defense production.
The measure gives the President
the right to invoke general price
control and rationing anytime he
decided such step was warranted.
He could invoke general wage con-
trolls at the same time
The only apparent restriction is
provision saying the resident
would be compelled to put wage
curbs in effect if price ceilings pre-
viously had been established ION
materials, services, and property
comprising substantial part of all
sales at retail and materially af-
fecting the cost of living"
The house was expected to agree
on some bill patterned principally
after the senate committees meas.
ure.

.FORMOSA:
The Big Question

In the minds of many i1terna
tional observers. Formosa had be
come the big question in the hattl,
against communism. And it pre-
sented the first split in policy
among the western powers.
With the Presidents order to the
U. S. seventh fleet to defend the
island from Communist invasion,
the split in policy first appeared
The split, or Russian trap as some
are inclined to believe, became
serious with the, visit of General
Macarthur to the island and the
arrival of jet planes Immediately
after he returned to Japan.
Many observers point out that
U. S. policy is now clear: defend
Formosa and the Nationalist gov
eminent. This, they believe, may
involve the United States in con-
flict with Red China, a fight which
would almost be impossible for
America to win.
At the same time, the British
government has already recognized
the Communist government of
China. Several other western pow
ers have been reported on the
verge of recognition. This leaves
the U. S. out on a limb and could
involve the nation in a full fledged
Asiatic war.
That, students of the present
world situation say, is exactly
what the Soviet Union desires. If
such thing should happen, Russia
would, of course, materially aid
the Chinese.
1t has been pointed out that the
American decision to defend For
mosa is a direct act of aggression
against Red China. 1t is a perfect
excuse for the Reds to rush sew
eral divisions to the aid of the
Koreans. Some observers believe
such a move is already underway.
Within hours after Macarthur
returned to Japan, American jets
landed on Formosa-vanguard of
air units assigned to defend the
island.
A comment heard frequently aft
er they landed was: Macarthur
certainly works fast"
That may be, observers pointed
out, but it could also mean that
Macarthur has fallen into the
Russian trap. 1t was a serious sit
uation that the United States now
had to face.

Water Meters
Wire Production

Wire is produced from rods or
coils by drawing the metal through
dies, further reducing its diameter
and increasing its length. In the
smaller sizes diamond dies ara
used. Wire is coiled or wound on
spools or reels after the final re-
duction to size. Copper wire may
be drawn to a diameter finer than
that of human hair. In this size the
wire made from one wire bar would
reach from New York to San Fran
ciso and beyond.
The Encyclopedia Britannica says
water meters invariably lead to
considerable reduction In the
amount of water consumed by city
jewellers.

Plane Crash

Nineteen persons were killed and
90 injured when a bomb laden BIO
crashed, burned and exploded near
the Fairfield-Suisun air base in
California.
The plane crashed near a trailer
camp where 200 service families

Wiretapping Probe

Betting odds on Capitol Hill are
that the federal grand jury now
probing police-state methods and
the overlapping inspired by Sena-
tor Brewster of Maine will end in
a whiteWash.
Despite the efforts on con-
scientiOus James McInerny.
chief of the justice departments
criminal division, alibis are
arranged to get Senator Brews-
ter and his friends, Pan Amer
lean Always, off the hot spot.
In the first place, the justice de.
partment held the overlapping re-
port for almost a year and only
fished it out of the files after the
facts had been exposed in the press.
AS result, the statute of limita-
tons is about to expire, and but
one scant week remains-seven
days from today-in which the
grand jury can act.
Feared for His Life
Meanwhile Senator Brewster's
story is that his life was in danger
and he called in the Washington
police. While they may have tapped
some wires in protecting him, he
had no knowledge of what they
were doing and received no infor.
nation from them.
Significantly, other policemen
who tapped Howard Hughes wire
under Lieutenant Simmons direc.
ton had instructions to listen espe-
cla!iy Tor conversations pertaining
to the airplane industry.

EUROPE:
Steps Up Defense

The democratic nations of Europe
with Communist aggression in Asia
uppermost in mind formed plans
for increased defense measures
against invasion by Russia.
The United States and its North
Atlantic allies mapped three-year
$40 billion campaign of defense.
Britain offered to adopt a three
year $9h billion defense budget, a
heavy load for the already hard
pressed British government, if the
U. S. foots part of the bill.
Other members of the group
agreed to recommend that all mem
Der governments take immediate
steps to increase effective military
forces for common defense.
France meanwhile asked that
more American and British troops
be sent to Europe and pledged to
start $5.7 billion three-year re-
armament program. The new pro-
gram would be in addition to the
1850 military budget Of $1.2 billion.
