General Sarnoff estimated .that the $200,000,000 initial cost would be about the price of two battleships and that maintenance would run. about $50,000,000 a year. 'Death Sand' New Killer Reported As U.S. Project By ROBERT GOLDSTEIN CHICAGO, July 26-(m Is the United States working to develop ' death sand?" A university of Illi nois physicist thinks it's likely. This slow-acting poison, an in visible form of radioactive dust, could be the most insidious most humane - type of atomic weapon known. Dr. Louis N. Ridenour said the substance would be "the lightest and most transportable of all the weapons of mass destruction." The U.S. Atomic Energy com mission's plutonium produc tion plant in Hanford, Wash., could produce enough of this dust every month to contaminate 144 square miles, he added. Radioactive sand, he believes, would be made by dipping tiny sand particles or melal powder in a water solution of radioactive salts. These salts, when dried, would cling to the outside of each particle. Unless warned in advance, resi dents of sn area sprayed with this dust would not know they were in danger until symptoms of radio active poisoning appeared two weeks or a month later. Then it would be too late. They would have inhaled it and had their clothing covered with it. A few days later they would die. . But if warning were given, Ride; nour said, each member of the target population would have a choice whether to live or die. Persons who remained in the area certainly would die, "while Three Forest Regions Closed By Gov. McKay SALEM, July 26 WPS Governor Douglas McKay Monday ordered three forest areas in Tillamook, Klamath and Josephine counties closed because of forest fire haz ards The closure order means that no giving an excellent chance of sur vival to a person who flees at once, with a folded or dampened handkerchief over his nose and mouth." "The novel and unique proper ties of this weapon make it use ful tn Knprial titnattnn. " RUmmip said, in an article in the bulletin of the atomic scientists. The Smyth report, the official government account of research that went into development of the alrtmip hnmh rtttorraA in 10.4c A the possibilities of radiological war fare. Since then there has been official silence. Ridenour speculated that this Silence is "pxnrpsaiv nf rlacsifi. cation (secret work on the project) rather than disinterest." Council Rejects 'Unfair Label For Newspaper. PORTLAND. July 26 JP) The city council Monday sent back to a teamsters' union affiliate a re quest that the Oregonian be placed on the "unfair" list.

Mal loy was instructed to negotiate fur ther on the issue. one will be allowed to enter those areas without a permit.
