JET Air|iners
Radioactivity
Under Study
BY the Associated Press

The Public Health Service is
looking into the problem Of
possible radioactive contamina-
tion Of high flying jet airliners.
A spokesman for the Radio
logical Health Division said to-
day the investigation is aimed
lat determining whether recent
contamination Of a Pan Amer
lean transatlantic Boeing TOT
means there is a chronic prob
Hem.
The contamination was
caused by radioactive particles
blown into the shakespeare by
hydrogen bomb test blasts.
THE investigation now is
not Of large scope and is pri-
marily aimed at determining
whether this is a chronic prob
lem or a one-shot DEAL" the
spokesman said.
After we were called into
consultation, we ran a test on
five similar TOTS which were in
hangers and which had been
used in similar flights but found
nothing except the natural
background to be expected.
THE body of the plane which
was contaminated apparently
protected those within the
plane"
The spokesman explained
what has taken place in this
way:
The contamination came to
light in the investigation of the
cause of a sudden 29,000-foot
plunge February 3 by a Pan
American TOT near the end of
a flight from London to Gam
der, Newfoundland.
Radioactivity found by Gus
toms officials on the gloves of
a mechanic who had worked
on the plane at Gander was
traced to the engine of the
jetliner.
James G. Terrill, assistant
chief of Pathological health,
went to New York at the re-
quest of Pan American officials
for consultations. The test of
the five jetliners was made at
that time.

Auto Finance Bill Hit
As Costly to Buyers

Theodore o. Yntema, Ford
vice president, said Ford esti-
mates that the General Motors
Acceptance Corp, GINS wholly
owned financing subsidiary,
provides new-car financing and
insurance service to GIN deal
ers at a cost to the dealer aver
aging about sos less than the
cost of financing and insur-
ance services offered by other
finance companies.
Sees Dealer Pressure
Z If the legislation is approved,
Mr.. Yntema said, competitive
pressures in auto financing will
be lesSened and rates will be
increased. Dealers will be ham
dicapped by higher costs and
automobile manufacturers will
find a smaller market for their
product. Consumers will foot
most of the bill in a higher cost
of living"
Representatives of independ-
ant auto financing firms and
commercial banks are backing
the legislation. They contend
GIN has been able to force most
of its dealers to use its finance
and insurance services.
Nelson D, Miller, a founder
of the Southwest Acceptance
Co. of San Antonio, Tex, told
the committee yesterday the
alleged GIN influence on deal
ers is subtle, adding ut preyS
on the dealers imagination
he sees what has happened to
other dealers who did not use
.GMAC."

News Photographer
To Cover Hirohito

TOKYO, Feb. q (AP).-The
Japanese royal family took
another step yesterday to bring
itself closer to the people. For
the first time in history a pro-
fessional news photographer
was authorized to begin cover
ing the doings Of Emperor Hiro-
hito and his family inside the
imperial palace.
The idea is to get more ma
tural, human interest poses
than have been issued in the
tast by the imperial household.

possibly into a solar orbit.
There have been predictions,
too, that the Russians would
attempt Venus probes in June.
The Rand Corp, a Santa
Monica (Calif.) group which
conducts scientific studies for
the Air Force, recently calcu-
lated that next June 8 would
be the most favorable date until
early 1861 for a Venus probe
launching.
Scientists say that actually
there is a spread of several days

One informed source reported
that current planning calls for
the launchings on June 9 and
June IL. The launchings will
take place at Cape Canaveral,
Fla.
The Thor-Able probe report
eddy would send about rs pounds
of instruments past Venus,
while the Atlas-Able orbiter
would weigh more than 800
pounds.

Car buyers will pay higher
financing charges and insur-
ance rates if auto manufac-
turers are barred from financing
their retail sales, a Ford Motor
Co. spokesman said today.
The prediction came from
William T. GosSett, Ford vice
president and general counsel,
in testimony to the Senate
Autobiography Subcommittee
The group is hearing views on
proposed legislation to divorce
the auto manufacturing indus
try from the financing field.
General Motors now is the
only auto firm engaged in retail
financing, but Ford has an
nounced plans to re-enter the
field.
Would Hurt Competition
Mr.. Gossett called the meas
ure "undisguised class legisla-
ton" and said they would de-
prive the consumer of the bene-
fit of the most effective kind
of competition.
The proposals, Mr.. GoSsett
said, seem to have been in
spired either by a desire to pre-
serve and protect the present
rates and profits of the finance
companies, or by a determine
ton to take specific legislative
action against General Mo-
tors"
Ford views the legislation as
"unwiSe and unnecessary, par
ticularly in view of the broad
provisions of the antitrust
laws" Mr.. Gossett said.

Today apprehension can be
much better managed than 1t
could in the past because of
the newer and more effective

Thus many patients on this

DR.. Feldman reported on a

hypertensive patients who
were receiving a drug which
lowered blood pressure but
which increased appetite. He
administered simultaneously
a drug which depresses appe-

At Space Talks

LONDON. Aug. 81 (AP).-A

American admission that the
future of space exploration is
too vast and expensive for any
one country to handle.
There is every indication
that the task may grow beyond
the resources of any single
nation" said DR.. Hugh L. Dry
den, deputy administrator of
the National Aeronautics and
Space Administration.
1T is a task that challenges
the peoples of the world as a
whole. 1t is a task demanding
many skills from nations large
and small"
DR.. Dryden told the 10th In
ternational Astronomical Con-
gresS it is essential to obtain
world cooperation in many
areas of space research.
Only a few yards away sat
three Soviet delegates who have
joined 500 scientists and en-
gineers from "a space minded
countries at the congress.
DR.. Dryden noted that the

Union had successfully put IL
satellites into orbit and two
