u. 5. Expert Testifies
AD-x2 Had No Effect

A National Bureau of Stand
ards expert said today the series
OF tests he supervised on the
controversial battery additive,
AD-X2, showed it did nothing
for batteries bad or good.
DR.. Walter j. Hamer, chief of
the bureaus electrochemiStry
section, said that when he made
two of the tests, he followed the
testing plan of officials of
Pioneers, Inc.
That firm and its president,
Jess M. Ritchie. has been accused
by the Federal Trade Commits
sion of making false claims
about the usefulness of AD-V2 in
treating batteries. DR.. Hamer
testified today at an ETC hearing
on those charges.
He outlined in detail the five
series of tests made by the
bureau on the white powder
which Mr.. Ritchie claims gives
pep to old batteries and makes
new batteries last longer.
It was a report from the
National Bureau of Standards
about AD-X2 which raised a
storm of controversy. during
which DR.. Allen V. Astin,
director of the bureau, was
ordered to resign and later was
reinstated. The five tests DR..
Hamer described were run during
various periods in 1852 and 1858.
