cosmic radiation at that height
for as long as IS hours.
Monkeys used IN the tests were
observed closely before and after
their ordeal. but they behaved
perfectly normally after two
flights"
After watching the exposed
animals for six months follow
ing the experiments, scientists
tentatively concluded that cos
mic particles may have been
overestimated as hazards to the
nerve system. and that a traveller
IN the stratoSphere should be
able to perform duties in a nor
NAL manner with no serious
after effects" the report said.
The only noticeable effect was
that blackhaired rats sometimes
started growing white hairs after
prolonged exposure to cosmic
rays because Of damage of the
piercing ray particles to hair fol-
licle' pigment cells.
1t had long been feared that
the rays might cause formation
OF cataracts of the eye lens,
damage the skin or permanently
destroy nerve cells which can
not be replaced in the body, 1.-THE
report said.
However. after the tests, the
experimenters have decided that
none of the experiments on
either physical or mental func-
tions showed adverse effects"

Libel Charged

A rooming house proprleto
today was indicted on crimina
libel charge. He Is accused O.
making false defamatory state
ments in labelling a White HOUSE

The man indicted is Leonard

The indictment charges Wesle,

Motive Not Revealed
Mr.. Conliff declined to discus
Wesley's motive. The letter said
1T is our personal knowledg'
and belief that Mr.. Jones hai

nation.
This young mans unselfisf
dedication to the service of the

Health Dangers Appear

to billions.
Homes were wrecked or COM
pletely gone; factories were
damaged. some beyond repair
Bridges were down and roads
washed out, with asphalt sur
faces churned up.
Health hazards were q major
problem. Flood survivors in most
places were ordered to boil drink
ing water. Emergency anti
typhoid seruras were fiown into
Isolated communities by helicop-
ter.
Dry Ice Sought
Dry ice was an emergency item
and supplies were commandeered
to refrigerate vital food supplies
where regular refrigerators were
still without electric power.
On top of all their other prob
iems, many flood survivors looked
ahead to an uncertain future with
their regular jobs gone, at least
temporarily. Factory damage in
Woonsocket. R. l., alone left
thousands out of work.
In Torrington. Conn, once a
thriving industrial city of $4,000,
dozens of stores were smashed
and factories put out of order.
