PHILADELPHIA, Oct. % vi
Scientists ct Franklin Institute
reported today they have worked
out the first step necessary 70
end air pollution and smog
They say it Is now a question Oh
time before the overall problem
Is solved.
Their problem was to identify
the elements found In the atmos-
phere as they are affected by
sunlight.
The scientists are able to do
this by means Of a cylinder con-
tanning man-made sky. The cyl
inder itself is filled with elements
of the atmosphere similar to
those found In the polluted air
which hovers over many cities.
Air Called Sewer
DR.. Nicol H. Smith, director
Of the Franklin Institute Labora-
tories, puts it this way:
"Our air has become a COM
mon sewer into which are
dumped many products created
by combustion, such as exhaust
fumes from cars or the burning
of trash. Our problem was first
to identify these elements as
they are reacted upon by SUM-
light. The next step is to find
which ones are harmful and
eventually remove them or con-
troll their source"
Up to now. says William E.
Scott, head Of the section which
is conducting the experiment,
scientists have been unable 10
determine precisely what prod
ucts are formed in the atmos-
phere under the influence Of
sunlight,
I'VE know, for example" he
said. "that smog under certain
atmospheric conditions. Is
formed when the sun is out and
is dissipated when the sun goes
down. 1t Is the energy from the
sun which can change man
made pollutants into other COM
pounds which make them ir-
ritating to man.
All Not Harmful
However, not all rnan-made
pollutants are necessarily harms
full, when diffused In the at
mosphere," he continued. AFTER
identifying the products formed
by sunlight in the proportion
they are found in the atmosphere,
scientists can then test them to
see IL they are harmful"
But the first thing we had to
do was to identity them

Football Rules Group
Opens Session. With
Few Changes Likely
sy ne Asseesassd Press

NEW YORK, Jan. io.-The
NCAA Football Rules Committee
began Its thfee-day session today
and indications we're that no i'm
portant changes would be made.
The Coaches Rules Committee
last week recommended three
relatively minor changes in the
code, and it was considered prob
able they would be accepted.
The coaches have asked that
the substitution rule be relaxed
somewhat. If their proposal Is
followed, the four minute seq
ment at the end of each half.
when players who have been re-
moved from the game are all
lowed to re-enter. will be elm
mated.
Instead. q player who starts
d quarter would be permitted to
leave and re-enter once during
that period. This would serve
the dual purpose Of permitting
q player to get q hreather or
have an injury examined and
allowing limited use of special
lists such as conversion kickers.
However, q player who did not
start the quarter would not be
permitted TO re-enter once he
had been taken out.
otherwise ! think We have q
pretty good game now" one
member Of the committee said.
"and / think the general idea
is to leave the rules alone so
that everybody has q chance to
learn them"
The other two changes being
considered by the committee are
to put some stricter limitations
on the movement Of linen1en to
discourage the sucker shift"
and to permit the use of a 81
inch tee instead Of the present
1-inch tee on kickoffs so there
won't be so many short kicks.
