Presidential Secretary Charles G. Ross told reporters that Mr, Truman hopes to have the spec ial message ready by that time. He is still working on it and there is no chance it will be pre sented this week, Ross said. The secrecy which the presi dent has thrown about his forth coming recommendations was re ported to be resulting in some fidgets among administration sup porters in congress. According to one house mem ber with strong White House con nections Mr. Truman hasn't made a move to discuss his proposals in advance with the congressmen who will have to carry the ball once the plan is made known. It is a tough assignment to put cross a tax boost in an election year and the difficulties are mul tiplied when the tax authorities on Capitol Hill have -o advance opportunity to smooth the path. The general belief at the Capi tol is that Mr. Truman will ask for a sizable increase in corpora tion taxes, along with a recom mendation for reduction or re peal of some excise taxes, such as those on jewelry, furs, hand bags, light bulbs and transpor tation.

Dr. Warren told a press confer ence that "when we find out what constitutes a dangerous concentra tion of radium or Other radioactive elements in the human body we may be able to save a lot of money in the Hanford plant. He said the precautions were costing the EAC thousands of dollars. He said the knowledge on the subject was being learned as a by-product of studies conducted here by Dr. Frank Queen of the Oregon Medical school. Dr. Queen has been assigned a project to determine the relationship of rad ium to cancer. Referring to the cancer studies, Dr. Warren said one of the im portant recent developments in the AEC's medical research was use of radioactive cobalt cobalt 60 as a cheao substitute for rad ium in treating certain forms of cancer. He said cobalt 60 costs one one five hundredth (1:500th) asjmuch as radium. He said the AEC is supplying the substance free for use in cancer treatment. Another discovery involves use of amio acids made from ox blood as a substitute for whole blood when patients need transfusions. Dr. Warren said studies at Cali fornia Intitute of Technology re vealed the amio acids combine to form proteins in the human blood system as quickly as 20 minutes. John Derry, executive officer for Dr. Warren, reported Reed college was training students in atomic energy methods. He said the shortage of technicians was hampering the nation's progress in atomic studies. At Reed, Dr. Arthur F. Scott is training physicians in the use of isotopes, radioactive particles used as tracers for medical diag nois and research. Some college students In physics are permitted to participate in the course. The science of atomic energy is with us to stay. The sooner we can train technicians in this field the faster we will progress, Dr. Warren declared. The research director mentioned that two meteorological research ! projects had been authorized for the Pacific northwest to determine what combinations of local weath er could cause a concentration of dangerous radioactivity in the vic inity of the Hanford plant. He said the studies would be confined to the laboratory. He said radioact ive elements would not be released into the atmosphere for the stud ies. "After all we take elaborate pre cautions to prevent such occurance at, Hanford," he added.
