story Of the rescue:
There was a car following
me along route 30l in North
Carolina. Suddenly its lights
disappeared, and I thought /
heard a crash. I went back
and saw this car turned over.
1t had hit a powerline pole.
Live wires were right on top
Of it.
Three of the passengers
were thrown clear, but l saw
this one woman still in the car.
Four times I tried pulling her
out. But l got a shock and was
knocked out each time. but
only for a few seconds. Finally
the power lines burned through.
off the electricity, and
| got her out.
When we were 80 feet away
from the car, it exploded. The
back seat had been on fire."

But Or. Charles Johansen Of
Copenhagen told Of keeping
close tabs on ESQ persons who
are known to have received
thorium 10 TO 20 years ago. SO

In animal tests, Or. Johansen
found thorium injections will
produce tumors one to three
years later. But the dose has
to be relatively large. It might
