tiveness of protective clothing
and also of exploring mans
bodily mechanism for adapting
to cold.
Inspiration for the instrument
was born of a need for a method
of doing remote control scien-
tific shopping inside eggs being
incubated by a mother penguin
The instrument was developed
by the American Electronic Lab
oratories Of Philadelphia to tie
in with Navy scientific needs in
the Antarctic. It comes in two
forms:
l. An oval-shaped device, about
the size of a mans thumb, for
use in penguin eggs, or for strap
ping to a mans thigh or under
his armpit. One egg in a pen
gums nest would be broken open
for insertion of the thermom-
eter. This would provide a gauge
of temperatures prevailing in the
other eggs.
2. A cylindrical-shaped version,
about half as large as a desk
fountain pen, for use as a rectal
thermometer. A transmitting COLL
and battery holder for this unit
are tapped to the upper thigh.
Both Include Transmitter
( Both versions include a minia-
ture radio tranSmitter and an
tenna, with power furnished byI
a battery system having a life
time of 100 hours. Changes inl
body temperature induce changesI
in the number Of pulses trans
mitted by the radio set. The
pulses are recorded by a radio
receiver placed at distances upI
to so feet away.
First word that such an instru-
ment had been developed was
contained in a news dispatchI
from a Navy base in Antarctica
early this month. The story told
of its use in studies Of a newl
rubber exposure suit developed
by the Navy for pilots who might
have to ditch their planes in |
frigid seas.
Yesterday, additional details
were supplied by DR.. Orr Reyn-
Odds. director of the biological
sciences division of the Office Of
Naval Research.
He said Carl Eklund, a scientist
Iof the National Research Coun-
Gil. telephoned him last Sep
TENDER. seeking the loan of some
electrical equipment to do re-
search on incubation tempera-
ture Of penguin eggs.
Mr.. Eklund said he wanted to
test a theory that the develop
Iment of the penguin embryo
occurs at much lower tempera-
lures than one would expect
necessary for growth.
Could Help Humans
If this is true, DR.. Reynolds
explained, it would mean that

Truckers Record TOPS

Transport truck drivers as a
group boast the best highway
safety records in the country.
Figures from the U. S. National
Safety Council show that driv-
ers of the huge haulaway trucks
that carry new cars from fac
tories to dealers have the best
score among the truck drivers
with a record of only one acct
dent in each 158,746 miles.

body are especially adapted to
operating at low temperatures.
And. if their mode of action
could be understood, he contin-
ued. it might lead to some chemi-
cal or other means of "souping
up" certain engines in man so
as to increase his natural re-
sistance to cold.
Previous temperatures recording
instruments required the use of
wires, but DR.. Reynolds con-
ceived the idea of a wireless

system that would be less dis
turbing to mother penguin.
At the same time. he said, it
occurred to him that such a
device-if it could be developed
might be utilized to advantage
in the Nays clothing tests in
the Antarctic.

The c I'm m &c Department

today the supply Of newsprint
for U. S. consumers this year
probably will exceed needs by
about l25, 900 tons.
; The information was given to

The committee. headed by
Representative Harris. Demo-

Coy as it conducted its annual
inquiry into the newsprint situa-
ton.
Mr.. Mccoy said total news

ers this year is estimated at T.
.l25.000 tons. Of which 100000
tons should come from domestic
production, 100000 tons from
Canada and $4,000 tons from
overseas sources.
He estimated domestic needs
at 100000 tons based on "a
continued high level Of business
activity" and an increase in the
volume Of newspaper advertising.
