been classed q "bellringer" by
some legislators.
The overlapping problem was
a controversial one Of 1866 in the
General Assembly and resulted in
the Legislature clamping down on
the use Of wiretaps by law en-
forcement agencies.
Alleged violations of the pres
ent law requiring court order be-

For one thing. the fortnight

who have pointed to the Dave

that there is an urgent need for

Mitchell. who laid out Mr.. EiSen-

Gambling interests-and most
especially slot machine operators
ARE fearful of the puritanical
look that comes on the faces of
cavalier-type legislators in an
election year. And they might
well be worried.
For example. a nearby member
Of the legislature recently put it
this way:
Maryland is due for a good
housekeeping job. Our public
immortality is beginning TO get a
national reputation as a sinkhole"
There Is more than one legisla-
tor who is beginning TO question
just how much the slot machine
operations in the four Southern
Maryland counties benefit the
local government and the State
generally.
Some Of them say they are tir-
ing Of the tradition that the Legis-
lature go along with just what
any one countys' delegation might
want in the way Of gambling and
liquor legislation for his own con-
stituents.
Under these circumstances 1t Is
understandable that the bookies
are not quoting odds on the 30

Acc Changes
Radiation Level

For the first time since l948 the
Atomic Energy Commission last
week ordered a major change in
the maximum radiation exposure
permitted In facilities of Acc
and its contractors.
The old levels were lowered by
two-thirds and this. in effect. also
dropped by two-thirds the amount
Of radiation which the Aces in
dustrial operations may release to
persons living outside atomic facil-
tiles. The Aces level for expo
sure to the public Is one-tenth
that Of the level for atomic indus
try workers.
The revision followed the rec
concentrations OF the National
Committee on Radiation Protec-
ton and Measurement suggesting
that the total radiation dose any
individual may accumulate after
the age OF 10 be limited to an aver
age Of i've rems a year and not
more than Is rems In any one
year. A rem (roentgen equiva-
lent mani is a dose Of any ionizing
radiation which will produce a
biological effect equal to that pro-
duced by one roentgen Of X-rays.
The Acc said that its own oper-
atoms and those OF its contractors
all along were we'll below the old
standards. The new reductions
we're said TO be not the result Of
any positive evidence OF damage
under the old levels. but an aware
ness Of the growing concern over
radiation Nangers.

Eighteen months ago the worst
tragedy in the history Of civil
aviation occurred over the Grand
Canyon in Arizona. II il can be
said that anything beneficial to
the country can result from the
loss Of l28 Of its citizens. 1t is that
this midair collision did more 70
open the eyes of the public to
the safety needs Of aviation than
anything before or since.
Within q month Of the crash.
Congress had provided $40 mil
lion to enable the Civil Aeronau-
ties Administration to develop and
install equipment to eliminate the
possibility Of q recurrence. Early
this month that equipment was
put into operation. and cAA ON
eials now say that the chances Of
another disaster such as occurred
over the Grand Canyon have been
greatly reduced.
Oficial investigators blamed the
accident on the failure Of the
pilots Of the colliding airliners to
see each other in time to take
evasive action.
The real meaning Of this state
ment il that airliners of today
move too fast to depend for their
safety on the vision and reactions
Of the pilots.
The CAAs answer has been TO
relieve the pilot Of the respon-
sibihty for locating other aircraft
and placing 1t IN the hands OF a
man in q ground control center.
This has been accomplished by
the construction Of many more
radio-radar stations TO monitor
the airways.
Many Stotions Needed

quency radio waves used in air

sary to build the stations fairly
close together. The VHF radio
waves operate on a line Of sight
principle. Like television, they
cannot follow the curvature Of

distractions as mountains.
On fiat terrain, such as In
Kansas. these stations are only
about 100 miles apart. But in
